Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United StatesThe best thing about Casa Esmeralda is the proprietor, Rosaria! She is super friendly, makes great recommendations for food in the area, and made us feel at home from the minute we arrived. Casa Esmeralda was also exceptionally clean, our room had a lot of privacy (felt more like an apartment on the second floor), and the rooftop was wonderful for enjoying the cool evenings and view.

United StatesNo kitchen for breakfast but I preferred to have a coffee in room then visit one of the coffee shops or restaurants steps away.
Absolute best location in Oaxaca. Steps away from all the top restaurants, art galleries, mezcalerias, and sites. Outstanding warm, friendly, and knowledgeable staff. The owner, Rosario, is typically there during the day to assist with any traveler needs. Room was clean and modern. Bed is comfortable. Bathroom is new, sleek, and had walk in shower. Very tall ceilings with high windows so room has lots of natural light. Coffee maker in room came in handy. A/C worked great. Nice inner courtyard with secure front entrance. Courtyard has huge retractable sun roof to keep temp comfortable. Rooftop patio with view of Santo Domingo Guzman church and Auditorio Guelaguetza.

Fantastic location, right near the Santa Domingo cathedral. Easy to walk everywhere. The owner is very attentive, makes you feel like family. She even allowed us to place pictures of our late family members on her alter, (ofrenda), for Dia de los Muertos ☺

CanadaNothing. We were very satisfied.
The location was a 5 minute walk from the most beautiful church in Oaxaca City, Santo Domingo de Guzman, and surrounded by restaurants and shops, so Casa Esmeralda was ideally placed. Senora Rosario was absolutely charming, and very helpful to those of us who didn’t speak Spanish.

Excellent location. We walked everywhere except to and from the airport. Very close to wonderful restaurants and sights. Loved the tile floors, the size of our room (room #1), the size of the 2 beds, the cheery and colorful decor, the wonderful staff. The owner, Rosario, was very helpful and fun to talk to.

Rosario, the owner, made us feel like welcome friends from the moment we arrived - where we were greeted with a shot of mezcal! She provided us with lots of helpful recommendations and she and her whole team were so kind and accommodating throughout our stay. The hotel is right in the middle of Oaxhaca and is the perfect base for exploring the city. It is also exceptionally clean, comfortable and spacious - much nicer than it looks in the pictures! We couldn't have asked for more.

CanadaWe were first in the room facing the street but the noise of the bars around until late was very disruptive for sleeping. We were kindly moved to a back room which was much quieter. Our room did not have any windows or natural light however and opened onto an indoor courtyard. The showers in this room did not have good pressure or ventilation
The host was a wonderful lady, attentive and available . She helped us book a taxi for the day and gave restaurant suggestions. Her English was very functional. The beds and linens were top notch and the wardrobes were fantastic and a good design. The location was excellent and central. The roof had a great view of San Domingo and was a quiet place to unwind outside when back at the hotel. The hotel is quite newly renovated with good design.

United StatesThe pillows were big so if you are a stomach sleeper you may want to bring your own pillow. We had a problem with our door but was fixed the next day. The owner is gentle but she doesn’t have a filter so sometimes we were nervous to ask her something because we didn't know how she was going to react.
The location is amazing. Rosa is very friendly and professional. The owner welcomes you with a little cup of mezcal and a beautiful gift. In the morning you can eat fresh and delicious fruit. They also have coffee and bread.
