Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomYou couldn’t really make breakfast with the equipment provided but we were given a pan on request.
The location was outstanding. Took seconds to walk to our own beach overlooking passing dolphins, whales and sea-lions. Although the nights were cold, our host Héctor was brilliant at keeping us topped up with wood for our stove. Cosy and unique. Mafalda, the gorgeous dog, was also a brilliant host! Would certainly return if we visited the area again.

United StatesIf you want to cook a meal this is not your place!
If you are looking for simple accom (very small kitchen facilities) but with a million dollar location - this is it! We at late lunch in Chaitén after a day of hiking and then went to the cabin, walked one minute to the beach with some beers and settled in to watch the “show” - dolphins, sea lions, birds, views of Volcan Corcovado and Chiloe. Amazing. And Hector, the owner, is super kind and helpful (thank you for gift of morning coffee and the advice to switch our hiking itinerary!)

United KingdomThis is not a criticism - for other travellers, please note, do not expect to self-cater full meals here. You have a kettle, a frying pan, mugs, plates and glasses. Do not expect a coffee maker or anything for making full meals. It's not that sort of place - eat out - there are plenty of places locally.
The location was superb. On the edge of the forest on the edge of the sea. Lots of wildlife - dolphin, sealion, penguin, black-necked swans. Hector, the owner, met us and lit the fire. He is very friendly. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed.

United KingdomRight by the beach, yet tucked away in the forest - the best of everything. We saw seals, swans, penguins and dolphins close to the shore minutes after arriving. We were simply stopping over for one (very wet) night in Chaitén before catching a ferry, but Hector - our host - was so welcoming, lit a fire and made the cabin super cozy. It turned into one of our most memorable stays. Thank you!

United StatesThe drive from the highway to the property made us think we were in the wrong spot at first …. High weeds in the roadway, a pile of stones, a seemingly abandoned van ….
Very quiet, serene location just steps from a beach. You can hear the waves at night. Héctor, the host, was very committed to making sure our stay was comfortable. He started the fire in our wood burning stove for us several times. Mornings were quite chilly in early November. Located just 3 km north of Chaitén it was close to town for finding dinner spots, and close to several hiking spots. Due to a staff absence, he was not able to provide us with breakfast during our stay, but gave a discount to offset this.

United StatesThe only suggestion is that Hector needs a sign for his inn. It is about 1/4 mile down a long unmarked driveway. We stopped at two neighbors for directions. If you are going here, it is the first driveway coming from Chaiten after a sign that says Ecolodge Artisans which an unrelated business.
Great location on the Chaiten Fiord. The accommodation is located in a cozy cabin connected to the main home of Hector the innkeeper. Brand new shower and bath, wood stove and king sized bed with comforter. Hector didn’t make breakfast but gave us a discount on the room so we could get breakfast in town. Hector was very enthusiastic and helpful.

United KingdomAlthough there was a kettle, kitchen facilities would have made this even more perfect. Hector is in the middle of erecting a communal kitchen for the guests, though, and Chaiten is only a five minute drive away. For us, for one night, it did not matter. Wished we could have stayed longer.
It was the location close to the beach and the beautiful forest in which our cabina was set that made this my favourite stay of our 10-day road trip in Patagonia. We heard the waves of the Pacific in our bedroom, and when going for a walk at the beach, we saw several dolphins catching their breakfast. The lush green soothed our souls and hid our cabina but let just enough room for glimpses of the sea, and although there was another couple, we hardly noticed them. The wood stove made the lodge really cosy, and Hector delivered nicely presented breakfast in a basket. He built the lodge himself and it shows in a positive way: attention to detail, lots of found wood and other materials, and perfect for the setting in nature. Beautiful designed bedding and towels. We had trouble with catching the ferry from Caleta Gonzales, and Hector was very gracious about changes to the booking.

CanadaThe extremely creaky bed, felt like it could collapse at any moment. The lack of signage on the gate. There was NO signage on the gate to the cabins. The curtains were too small for the windows which compromises privacy.
The beautiful location in the forest by the lake. The tasty breakfast. The cozy wood stove. Seeing dolphins swim by. Having our picnic lunch (our food, no restaurant here) on the beach side deck.
