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 KingdomThe team running Casa Gardenia were some of the most helpful and friendly people I have ever met in many years of travelling for business and pleasure. They were exceptional, and visiting a new city always makes a big difference. They even went out an d bought us some coca leaf tea to help us with altidtude sickness/ This is one of the few places to stay in the historic town and makes a great base if your desire is to stay in the UNESCO portion of Quito rather than the more modern touristy 'Gringotown'. Be warned that the streets are steep, cobbled and not ideal for accessibility (I am blind). taxis are cheap and plentiful if walking is difficult. Situated close to the city's historic heart, this architecturally interesting building has its own details of design and interest. Simple good facilities, great views and a good breakfast available.

Everything is so great on this boutique hotel that I really liked everything. The attention, the breakfast is such an amazing delight, eggs, bread, coffee, fresh juice of ethnic unique fruits. The coffee so flavorful. But the owner and staff really are amazing. They treat you like family look after you and your needs.

Great place to stay just up the hill from the historic center of Quito. The staff/ownership were wonderful - Cynthia, Andres and Enrique. The views from the common areas were amazing. Breakfast included eggs, fruits, breads, coffee, etc .... If I'm Quito again, I would definitely stay at Casa Gardenia again.

United StatesThe only downside is unfixable: the older wooden floors are creaky & noisy, and walls are thin. There's no air conditioning & the cobblestone roads outside are noisy. Light sleepers will find this difficult. We'd still stay there again, though.
The owners and staff were phenomenal; caring, friendly, helpful, and thoughtful. The building was gorgeous, location perfect, and had everything we needed. Rooms are very comfortable

CanadaThis bed and breakfast is located in the historic old town of Quito, 5 minutes walk to the Grand Plaza, the Presidential Palace, etc. The room we had was on the top floor; it was spacious and private. There are two sitting areas with gorgeous views of the city. Breakfast includes eggs as well as fresh fruit, cheese, and a selection of cereals and yogurt. The staff was exceptional, especially Enrique. They helped us with getting taxis, directing us to sights and restaurants and were just all-around helpful and friendly.

United StatesNothing, I loved my stay
This is a beautiful boutique hotel. It has been decorated and maintained with love and care. Andreas, the owner, is a warm, welcoming host as are all of the members of his staff. I was working remotely during my week stay and I had zero issues with the wifi, it was exceptional. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, a small mercado just up the hill (literally around the corner), a laundry across the street and all of the neighbors are friendly - greeting you with a smile! Make sure you check out the coffee shop also just up the hill! I used the hotel to arrange a taxi from the airport, and Freddy was wonderful. I hired him several times on my trip to take me places. I could not have felt more cared for on my solo trip to Quito. Notes: if you are sensitive to noise, book the top floor rooms (there are two). I always travel with a fan and ear plugs. Street noise was minimal as the windows are very noise dampening.

United KingdomThere was nothing I didn’t like.
I liked everything about the Casa Gardenia. It is well located in the Old Town on a safe street within walking distance to the key sights in the Old Town. I was warmly welcomed when I checked in and throughout my stay. They offered a wonderful breakfast with fresh fruit and juice and made to order eggs. Found the room to be a good size with comfortable twin beds and shower with good water pressure. Nice common areas. I appreciated the map of the area given to me at check in to highlight which streets were considered safer than others.
