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.).

United StatesSection of bumpy roads going up but not bad for what it’s worth
EVERYTHING - Comfortable beds with fire place turned on by staff, good steady wifi, beautiful view, the menu wasn’t massive but everything was delicious (let staff know your order and time you’d want to eat), kind and accommodating staff that was easy to contact via WhatsApp or the front desk, great variety of activities you can pick once at the hotel and AMAZING tour guides for certain activities - specifically Gabriel on the Cotopaxi Day Hike he was so incredibly kind and helpful (wear a jacket or poncho, gloves, hat, and hiking shoes + coca mints help - can get dusty and cold so go prepared but there is a store before you go in if you forgot anything)

United StatesThe staff were a bit hands off during our stay. For example, when sitting in the lounge area, no one ever checked on us to see if we needed anything, or if we wanted the fire lit. We had to seek out staff frequently, which makes you feel like a bit of a nuisance.
Beautiful property with beautiful views. The rooms are lovely and we all loved the ponchos that were supplied for use. We also appreciated having all meals available at the lodge, which were yummy:)

EcuadorWonderful experience, we got to see the Cotopaxi early in the morning and we were able to horse ride in the National Park. The staff was amazing and food was spectacular. The only downside was our horse ride guide, Rafael, who was very disrespectful and inattentive.

United StatesWe loved it here! So peaceful and beautiful. The property was cozy and comfortable. The fireplaces in the room were sufficient in staying warm all night. The kitchen staff were super friendly and the food was pretty good. The desk manager oddly didn’t give us a tour of the property even though we watched him do it with every other guest checking in. He also told us there weren’t any kids ponchos but immediately after one of the kitchen ladies brought us one. Not sure why he said that or why he treated us differently? Overall we had a great stay though.

United StatesFor all meals the food was good but we could have used more food for breakfast. We were in a family room/suite. Each of the two bedrooms were fine but it would've been better to have a larger and more comfortable shared living room. We couldn't really spend time together in the hotel room as a family.
Loved the location and the view. Staff were friendly and helpful. Beds were comfortable and the wood stove kept the room at a comfortable temperature. The dinner and breakfast foods were very good. The rooms were clean and cozy.

United StatesThere was no fan in the bathroom, so it got very wet from condensation even with window open. Room got quite cold, there is a fire place that they will light for you but once it burns out you have to stoke yourself. There was no instruction on this so we didn’t feel comfortable doing it ourselves.
Very friendly and accommodating staff. Excursions booked through hotel were well organized. Beautiful countryside and views of volcano (when not cloudy). Raul our guide for the full day Cotopaxi day trip was amazing! He knew all about the ecosystem and wildlife, and was the perfect amount of engaged but also let us have our own experience. Lennon at the front desk was extremely welcoming and helpful, he made our stay very pleasant.

United KingdomStunning lodge at the foot of Cotopaxi volcano. We had the most special stay here - the front desk is very helpful with tours, guides, transfers. The food is exceptionally good - all home made and delicious with excellent service. Hot drinks available all day, which is needed at this altitude. We enjoyed the BBQ and marshmallows around the fire at sunset. There are woodburners in the rooms, hot water bottles in the beds and log fires in the snug areas of the lodge. A totally unique and special experience - the best in our 3 months in Latin America. The volcano climb and tours are highly recommended with their superb, knowledgeable guides.

ItalyBe aware that the north side of Cotopaxi NP is really remote and a bit difficult to reach (some of the roads from Machachi are pretty bad). But once you are there, it is wonderfully peaceful and quiet, and the staff were really helpful in organising the transport and a tour into the park.
Amazing place near the north gate of Cotpaxi NP. The stay here was a real treat, and we felt really spoilt by the wonderful staff (e.g. finding a fire already lit in our room when coming back in the afternoon). Organising the pick-up from Machachi and a tour into the park (with a great guide) worked very smoothly as well. Food was great too. We loved the view on Cotopaxi from the garden (when it sometimes emerged from the clouds).
