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.).

GermanyAbout 20 minutes on foot from the center, but by taxi for 1,5$ you can go everywhere in town.
The lady owning the place is just probably the most genuinely kind person we've met in the Galápagos. Always really helpful she help us book the ferry to Isabela and had the ticket brought to us, we asked her to try one coconut from her garden and she opened one for us. We could leave our backpacks there after check out and once back she let us quickly shower and change our clothes. The rooms are modest, but perfect for the price, have everything you need (included a fan). You can rent snorkel gear for a reasonable price. Highly recommended!

NetherlandsThe location was slightly far from the bus (20 minute walk). No AC which can make it slightly uncomfortable when it's hot - the owners gave us a second fan to help :)
Nice garden - kitchen available - lovely people who own it. The perfect place to spend a night or two.

SwitzerlandWifi is very fast in the kitchen area and where most of the rooms are, but at the one room we had (left side of the reception) it was unusably slow and so weak that our devices dropped out from time to time.
Clean place, very friendly staff, good vibes. The place is located at a quiet corner of the town and the city center is reachable by foot within 10 minutes. I would recommend this place to friends and come here again.

United KingdomThe Wi-Fi on our second stay was much better than the first few nights where it didn’t really work.
Very cute and well priced! The owners only speak Spanish but they are very friendly and helpful. Location is a little out of the town but there are much cheaper restaurants around and you can rent a bike for $10 a day to speed you up. Snorkels are $1 a day! Showers are very hot and the rooms are pretty comfortable. We enjoyed it so much we stayed here again after our trip to another island.

GermanyGreat hostel for a few nights on Santa Cruz. The staff is very friendly and it’s located about 10 min walk from the water front which is an easy walk. There’s a kitchen with a fridge and gas stove so easy to cook something in case you’ll not in favor to go to a restaurant twice a day.. The rooms in the backyard are fine/great (had 5 nights there), however the rooms in front next to the street are less good (one has mold on the wall, the other does not have a window and no air comes in during the night). However, we were relocated to a big room in the backyard due to the issues described. Overall great value for the money and recommend.
