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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

MexicoI liked everything. The place is a bit far if you don't have a car, and it would've been great if they'd offered breakfast, although to be fair, the room came with a kitchen, so I could've prepared it myself. We ended up going to town instead.
The place was great! It exceeded my expectations, very pretty, well-maintained, and with many birds. The swimming pool was also great, and having a little garden in front of the volcano was a plus (although it was raining, so we couldn't see it, still, you feel amazed by the nature surrounding you.

GermanyVery quiet location away from the hustle of Fortuna the property has only 3 bungalow which makes it very relaxed. We were two couples and very much enjoyed sitting on the terrace with a view on the volcano or chilling in the pool after a day of activities You definite need a car as it is a 5-10 minutes drive into the city centre The bungalows have some kitchen equipment to make breakfast or cook something simple. Dogs are allowed

CanadaThe property next door had some noisy guests, but that's not something Chongos can do anything about. Other than that, there was nothing we didn't like.
The location was perfect for us. Off the beaten path a bit with no traffic noise whatsoever. Being just 2 miles from the base of the volcano was spectacular, unmatched views. The covered porch was a huge asset as you could enjoy the sights and sounds even when it was raining. The host, Diana, was fantastic. Very friendly and responded quickly to any questions we had.

United StatesLacking hot water in shower, no screens on windows so had to run the ac at night. Room smelled like mold but we couldn’t open the windows at night to air it out.
The view is amazing. The staff is lovely and helpful. It was clean, the pool was nice, and the garden was great. Loved the little casita, and the location was walking distance to town but quiet.

United StatesIt is on the small side. The kitchen should have had oil, salt and pepper provided. No microwave.
This little place was very nice. Only three bungalows, and a friendly host. There's a mini-kitchenette where you can do some basic cooking. Very close to the main drag that runs through town and not far from the waterfall.

CanadaCertainly a little more consideration given to the quality and amount of kitchen cutlery. The basics should include a real spatula not a wooden toy, more knives spoons, forks. MICROWAVE. OVEN A MUST. NOTE: The outdoor furniture in the middle cabin had 2 damaged torn seats. I won't dare sit in them.
The excellent view ! Beautiful country. Pool was quite refreshing. Staff friendly courteous. Loved the air conditioning. Comfy beds.
