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.).

Switzerland- it was very loud until 23:00/24:00. so bring some ear protection if you are sensible to noise
- 3 minute to the ferry - 1 minute to downtown - perfect for one night when you need to leave early

NetherlandsIt is in the centre, quiet area but there still is some traffic noice from the street (also in the side street). The restaurant around the corner had very loud music on a Tuesday night. The laundery dries on several places at the rooftop, which is not very inviting place to sit. With 3 beds in the room and a refrigerater (right next to the bed, not so comfy place) its full. Price-quality ratio: it felt overpriced compared with other places.
We loved Santa cruz. The hostel is located at a very central place, you will easily walk around. Bright room, bed is good and you can sit on the small balcony or on the rooftop. There is free drinkingwater, hot water, wifi, friendly (although only spanish speaking) staff.

The staff at Costa del Pacífico is very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast on the rooftop terrace is great! The hotel is conveniently located in town, not far from the ferry terminal, restaurants, and other attractions. It's a good price for what you get.

United StatesThis place is like several in the port that don't really live up to expectation. There are not room views and the rooms themselves are worn, tired, and shabby. There is a lot of noise. There is only a thin sheet on the mattress, no mattress cover. I can only imagine with people sweating, etc how bad the mattress actually is. I switched rooms after first night because it wasn't what I paid for/reserved. The lodging is overpriced in general for what it offers and is not a good value for the money.
Great location in Puerto Ayora with many restaurants, bars, and stores within easy walking distance. The port/pier is also very close. I booked 2 nights and changed rooms after the first because it wasn't the room I had reserved and paid. Both rooms were very spacious, second room had refrigerator and small balcony. There was free filtered water at check in area.

Bulgariaafter my stay I booked again the same place for 2 nights, but on Airbnb. it seems they don’t have some system to manage the bookings or don’t even bother to check the different places for the reservations, as they wrote me in the evening before my stay they could not accommodate me and provided reservation in another place. the reason stated was the AC broke and the bathroom also, which to me seemed a bit suspicious if not straightforward lie! as I could see the place available on booking, but only for the seeding night. it seems there was also a price difference, hence they preferred not to honor my reservation. I don’t like such practices, hence I cannot recommend this place!
good location. it was clean.

ItalyOur room was very small. The bathroom was extremely tiny and the drain made it smell often. They made the beds every day but it didn't seem like they cleaned the bathrooms because the soap dispenser was never restocked. The shower also had mold in it. The facilities could definitely use some remodeling.
The location is really good. Just a block from the main road and near the port. The bed was comfortable. The price is good for what you get, compared to the other hotels in Puerto Ayora. It's fine if you are only staying for one or two night.
