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.).

Very clean and spacious. We had a private room with private bathroom. Host was very kind and helpful! 1 min walk to the beach and 5 min walk to central Montanita. Slept well in our beds and fans helped us stay cool. Great place for a quieter stay!

The host was extremely nice and the communication with her was very efficient!! The rooms were perfect for us. Without a doubt the best place to stay in Montañita because of the location: very quiet yet located within a few minutes walking to the center! would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

AustraliaThere is a stain in my sheet but I'm sure it is just a stubborn stain.
I am very pleased I chose this place to stay. The host is absolutely wonderful, very helpful lady. She is very responsive and helpful and quickly delivered a second set of keys when i messaged her about my partner and I going in and out at different times, which has improved things for us (travelling together everyday with one set of keys and no phone internet because you are new to the country is tricky!!) Within Montanita.... I am thanking previous reviewers who noted that the location here was great, well away from the party streets but close to everything. Walking through montanita, some streets are pure chaos, so if you want a relaxing stay and arent here to party, its imperative to look for this! Hostal itself, I can confirm this is not a party hostal which is what we were looking for. It's small enough (two floors of rooms) to be quiet and cosy and the communal areas like toilet, kitchen and rest areas never feel congested. It is also the closest hostal to the best amenities in this town and away from the trashy businesses blaring out music. It is a street away from a supermarket, a top rated inexpensive favourite for dinner (La terreta) and also a top rated inexpensive breakfast place is right there (Sweet spot) too and the beach is just down the driveway... It's also clean, the kitchen is very well maintained and the room (triple dorm) is basic but has everything....secure locks, mosquito net, a window, a fan. The room isn't as cosy as some other places (a lamp would go a long way to make it cosier) but the other touches in the hostal make up for it, the rooftop terrace is a good place to hang out, as well as the downstairs hang area. Excellent hostal and I'm glad I read the previous reviews to recommend coming here, it has been good for us.

SpainIn general, it was clean, but the towels were very dirty. Maybe it would be time for a replacement
It's definitely worth the money. Very simple just to sleep and shower in my case

AustraliaFantastic, cute little home away from home. Safe, quiet (whilst still in close walking distance to where it's all happening) and nicely decorated. In walking distance to the main bus station. And super close to the beach. Lovely host too :) We loved it here!

United StatesThe receptionist is nice but she's often not at the hostel so the check-in and check-out experience is pretty frustrated especially with all the luggages. The room is pretty dark and didn't feel so clean. I moved to this side of town to avoid party noise but there're people playing loud music on the roof till late and there's no sound proof at all. So i moved after only one night...
Honestly, the stay is just passable

UkraineThere is construction of parking nearby so the noise can be heard from there during the day.
Close location to the beach, good wi-fi and comfortable bed. There is also a kitchen with a fridge for common use. My room was just against the common kitchen so there is constant noise if anyone is there even just talking.
