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.).

AustraliaDespite several rooms being empty (as the empty rooms were all open), I was given a room with not a lot of privacy unless you had the curtains shut all the time, as when you walked up the stairs, my window (which was huge) was right there for everyone to see in. Think gold fish bowl! It was also super bright in the morning, so take an eye mask. Maybe if you stay there, ask for a darker room. As well, luke warm water in the shower.
Location was great, just up the road from where the ferries leave to the other islands, the bus from the airport finishes & within walking distance to restaurants & shops.

Canadathe front desk was not friendly. I found him to not be helpful. We were trying our best to communicate in Spanish (we are not native Spanish speakers so we tried!!) and he kept looking at us like he couldn’t understand us and made no effort to try. On the last night we had a different person at the front desk (a taller gentleman) and he was super helpful, friendly and smiling. The accommodations were super basic. I would definitely pay $50-60 more a night for something a little nicer. There was also construction happening So it took away from the atmosphere a bit. Luckily, we didn’t use the room for anything other than showers and sleeping at night so it didn’t take away from our trip. A friendlier and more helpful front desk would be nice to help maximize your time in Santa Cruz.
The location was what makes this hotel awesome. It’s right in the middle of the action. Super close 2-3 minute walk to the marina. It’s surrounded by tour companies and restaurants.

United StatesWater took more than 20 seconds to get hot. But it did. Cold shower is arguably nicer in the Galapagos anyway.
Location was fantastic. Filtered water, shower got hot eventually, and the bed was comfy. AC worked which was crucial to help dry things after several days of travel and many hours in the water. Quaint place with interior garden.

CanadaThere was a lot of construction going on while we were there in January 2023 which was noisy during the day, but not too early in the morning or late at night so it wasn’t really an issue.
Great location near the waterfront and walkable to everything in town. The room was nice and clean and the balcony was nice to have. Also water bottle fill ups are a very handy amenity.

United StatesGreat location, good price, very clean! 3 bedroom was really nice (great air condition, spacious, hot water in shower, bright). single room was a little more outdated (air condition existed but wasn't working best, no hot water, not a lot of natural light, bigger bed though). Overall quite comfortable and well worth it for price we paid and last minute booking!
