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 StatesThis is just a simple reality of these older homes-there is no elevator, so if stairs are an issue for your party, make sure to get a room on the 2nd floor (1 flight of stairs). However, don't worry, they handle the heavy bags.
Up front to other see it: We had to move our flight to the Galapagos up to midnight rather than 7am the next day with 1 day to spare (Quito airport was closing, long story). Mario and team SAVED us by letting us stay until 9pm in the room for a very reduced rate (they could easily have made us pay the whole night as we had originally booked) Also, all the other reviewers are 100% correct: Mario and his wife treat you like family (better even!). They arranged for the driver, who met us with a sign at the airport and drove us to town. They were there waiting to check us in late that night (around 10.30pm) and then arranged our breakfast and tour times to allow us to get enough sleep for the next day's excitement. Breakfast was lovely, in the courtyard. Fruit, coffee, bread, eggs as you ordered, etc. They helped arrange the tours in advance, which went off splendidly. The building is amazing-very relaxing. Great internet. Shower is a bit in the open so if that is an issue for you, it's something to consider. There is a lovely small museum 2 blocks up the street if you turn right as you leave Casa El Eden-free and highly recommended. Felt very safe. Great location. Met some lovely other guests as well. Thank you everyone for such a wonderful experience for my mother and me! Appreciated the bottled water in the room every day. They even heated up some leftovers we had from a fabulous dinner (at Zazu) so we had a snack before going to the airport at 9pm-when we were too tired to go out.

United KingdomNothing. It is disappointing and needlessly risk averse for western tourists to stay away from Quito given the troubles have mainly been in very different areas to Quito,
A really exquisitely restored old Quito house - far more beautiful than the pictures do justice - right in the heart of the Old City, with huge rooms, comfy beds, and wonderful, super friendly and helpful hosts. Felt safe at all times. The owners made restaurant recommendations at our behest and both were superb. Bed was very comfortable and enormous. They even have a wine room with decent bottles sold with almost no mark up. Why would anyone choose to stay anywhere else in Quito!

AustraliaMario and Blanca were the most welcoming and caring hosts - our comfort and well being was of the highest priority with them. The rooms were spacious and immaculate, it felt more like a home than a hotel and the house has an authentic old world feel. The rooftop area had wonderful views over the city and was a great place to have a pre dinner or after dinner drink. We would definitely stay there again if the opportunity ever arose.

Mario and Blanca were excellent hosts - hospitality and warmth were second to none. It was a sanctuary from the busy old town. We had a beautifully appointed room. The whole place was spotless and tastefully decorated. Susanna and Daniel were also very welcoming and helpful. The daily breakfast was fabulous and set us up for the day. Recommendations for sightseeing and restaurants were spot on. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

United StatesMario and Blanca are so warm and thoughtful. Truly kind people who love their city and hosting guests. As further accommodations, they are uniquely beautiful. The old mansion has incredible woodwork with touches Ns pieces which showcase the Owners sense of style. They arranged a taxis and English speaking guide for us. Ismael was top-notch. We enjoyed everything about our stay!! We almost canceled because of the civil unrest that is occurring in Ecuador. We are glad we did not, and we felt safe, even though there was a police presence and the Square was closed to the Public. The people, the city, and the food were fantastic!
