How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe orchid garden is absolutely stunning, and the entire place has a fantastic feel of being almost completely remote- even though it's in town! We stayed in the more rustic bungalow, so make sure you review all pictures relevant to your booking, not just the deluxe accommodation, otherwise you might be a bit surprised! It was all comfortable and nice, had an issue with the hot shower, but it got fixed pretty much immediately. Someone is always on hand, the staff are lovely and friendly and realy helpful.
It states daily housekeeping, when in fact it's every 2 days. Which is fine, but the towels won't dry easily in the humid environment and smell a bit damp after just one day. We asked for clean towels and got them immediately, so again, really no issues. Tatiana and her team know how to look after their guests!

Verified reviewGreat central location. Good breakfast, very obliging host. Beautiful large, light, clean & airy room. I was a little late back from an early morning bird tour but was still given breakfast with a smile. Organised early morning transport back to Quito airport for a reasonable rate. Definitely recommend!

Verified reviewIn the middle of a beautiful garden full of orchids and strange flowering plants. Basic comfy cabanas- rustic.Perfectly adequate breakfast. Owner helped us fill up our hot water flask twice. Owner arranged a birding walk with excellent guide Alex. Also advised where to go for humming bird viewing at Hermit trail with Anthony which had been fantastic.
We waited a bit to make contact with anyone on arrival. Also the reception area although nice could have less non- pretty stuff lying around.

Verified reviewThe location was within walking distance of downtown. As we were leaving early on a birding tour, I was pleased that they prepared hard boiled eggs, a sandwich, gave us some apples, and left us with juice the night before so we had something to eat since we would miss their normal breakfast time.
I did not like that the door to our room only had a flimsy latch to secure it and nothing while we were out of it

Verified reviewGood location, beautiful garden, helpful staff. The hotel staff organised an early “cock of the rock” birding tour for us, it was excellent, and one of of our Ecuadorian highlights. $100US for two people - saw many birds and had a basic breakfast with hummingbirds flying around. I can recommend the tour and the hotel.

Verified reviewBeautiful breakfast with fresh fruits, juices, coffee, tea, bread, jam and butter and eggs. You can observe the birds from there. The hotel is close to the center, yet it feels like you are in a forest. It's really quite, and the orchids are stunning. Our room was big and really clean amd we could watch the bird from our window. The staff has been lovely and helpful
