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.).

First the staff was great. The front desk is open from 730 am to 10 pm. We were not arriving until almost 1 am in the morning. They arranged to have someone let us in the gate and checked us into our room at 1 am. They went above and beyond. We had 2 rooms with one having a spa. The spa was great and the jets were a plus. The view from our deluxe king room was spectacular. The river was outside and the sounds were so peaceful. The mountainous views were so relaxing. The breakfast was nice and they had fresh juice along with coffee. Staff was great and even held on to our bags for the day as we explored the city. This hotel is a short distance outside of the city but the property is very peaceful and they have a lockable gate that ensures security. They had a trampoline that the kids loved as well.

United StatesI stayed for 5 nights and the last two nights they were putting in a new window in the morning next to my room so it was a bit noisy but it made me get up in the morning to start my day. It was really no problem at all though and the new window looks great!!
Everything about this place was amazing! The free breakfast was delicious with options to choose from and fresh juice every day. The view is amazing from the backyard and where you eat breakfast. Bonus for them having a trampoline too because I love those. The staff were wondering and very attentive through whatsapp. Although I don’t speak Spanish we spoke and talked through google translate without a problem. There are buildings being built around it but it wasn’t so noisy from it. The place is a 5-15 min walk from a main road with a lot of food places to choose from. (It’s safe to walk around at night) The hotel has a dinner menu as well which I ate at two times but it was nice to walk and get food at a local spot. A little hilly but kinda expected. I would definitely stay here again.☺️

United StatesNothing to not like. I would stay here agin. Its 2 minutes away from all of the hustle of downtown Banos which is fine with me.
The staff was very accommodating. Extra pillows and toilet paper were not an issue. The views of the river were great and the breakfast room was a delight. They held our bags after check out in the morning with any fuss.

United StatesThe room was a bit on the small side and the location is a bit away from the city center. But a $1.50 taxi ride is all it took to get to the city center and back.

United StatesThe location was 1.5 miles from downtown Banos. There was no restaurants close by, so you had to get a cab or drive into downtown Banos for dinner. We tried to order food delivered one night, but it took over an hour and of the 4 meals ordered, we only got 3. So we split 3 meals among 4 people.
The room was comfortable and had a balcony overlooking the river. Beautiful sunrise and sunset. Breakfast was included and very good. We had our laundry done in house at a reasonable price. Because the location was out of downtown, next to the river, it was very quiet at night. I imagine staying in downtown Banos would be very noisy.
