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.).

GermanyEverything looked like shown in the pictures and we were happy that the shower was very warm and with a good pressure. We booked a Colca Canyon Tour with the hotel which was amazing. The people were very friendly.

United KingdomI had mixed messages about laundry and early breakfast. I was told it could be done and then I was told it couldn’t be done. They padlock the front door from time to time and so you have to wait until staff appear. There was only one loo roll in my bathroom. Plenty of soap and shampoo but no spare loo roll.
The location was good. A short walk to the centre. Lots of stuff nearby. The garden is a glorious bonus. A nice peaceful place to sit and read or just relax. My room was huge with a huge bed and a fridge. On the ground floor too. The breakfast was plentiful. The staff were friendly and helpful. They changed their mind about being able to do my laundry but let my dry my smalls and wet trainers (from Colca canyon) on the roof all the same. WiFi was good too.

Hotel was located very close to downtown historical district, close to shops and restaurants. Hotel helped me book some local tours and a good price. Breakfast each day was fresh and tasty with many options of fresh fruits, breads and hot items. Rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. Staff was very friendly and helpful and all spoke perfect English, will return again

United StatesOur one complaint was one that is common in older buildings and that is that there is a smell from the drains in the bathroom. There was also a leak from the middle of the shower that caused the bathroom floor to get wet but a spot of grout will doubtless fix that. It seemed to come from the middle. There was no to-go breakfast offered for the days that we had to leave early, which was disappointing and could be easily rectified.
We absolutely loved our spacious room and the fabulously comfortable beds. There were sockets and tables by the beds as well as lights and there were other lights, chairs and a desk in the room. There was also plenty of space for clothes and cases. There is no a/c, just a fan above the door but we found that to be more than enough. The rooms surround a beautiful garden with lots of tables and chairs to relax in and you can have breakfast there. Speaking of breakfast, there was a good selection of fresh fruit, cereals, juices, your choice of eggs and two hot dishes as well as bread, ham, cheese, jam and most importantly strong coffee. One of the best spreads we've seen in Peru. The location is a 10 minute walk from the Plaza so it's very quiet and relaxed at night. Staff were all great, happy to help and very friendly and mostly spoke great English. A special shout out to the cleaning lady who was unfailingly cheerful and gave us advice on how to counteract the effects of the altitude. Bottom line, if we're back in Arequipa, we'll definitely be staying here again.

AustraliaThe hot water in the shower did take quite some time to come through, maybe it is a Peruvian anomaly as it was the dame in our accommodation in Lima.
Natalie the proprietor was very hospitable and charming. She accommodated us even though we booked only minutes before our arrival. She was helpful and compassionate when we ran into difficulties with our bank cards. We really enjoyed the breakfasts on offer which we ate in the central courtyard which is a virual oasis. A sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of the city outside. The location is great to the central plaza. We would most definitely recommend Casa de Avila for your stay in Areqipa. We were there for 2 whole days.

It was very clean and the bed was very comfy. The Garden was big and nice. The breakfast was amazingly good 👍🏽

United StatesLaundry service was quite bad. My clothes were still dirty when they came from the laundromat. To their credit though, they did rewash the clothes. It says on the website that guests staying 2 or more nights at the hotel could get a complimentary city tour. I stayed 2 nights, this wasn't even mentioned to me.
Fantastic place. Friendly staff, comfortable room albeit a little small. Good breakfast. Great coffee. Good location. The main square was a couple of blocks away. Security was very good as well.
