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 KingdomOur small feedback is that there is a charge for using the spa which we weren’t aware of - still enjoyable after a day out.
We loved our stay here. The rooms were very comfortable. The staff are very friendly and were able to help organise all the activities we wanted. It is a great location to head to Cotopaxi and we loved the mountain biking in the ground. Meals were excellent on site.

United StatesThe fire required careful tending, otherwise our room got uncomfortably warm. Some of the wood wasn't seasoned firewood, but pieces of old fencing with nails and paint, and some pieces were growing mold/mildew. The front desk told us it was fine because the oven vented outside, but it made me uncomfortable having to open and close the oven to add wood when needed. Because this is a farm, there is animal poop everywhere, even on the kids playground. Walking around the immediate property (including the trails used by horses) was precarious.
Amazing food and views. Beautiful property and a memorable experience. The staff was very responsive via WhatsApp both before and during our stay, which was helpful for transportation.

ItalyMinor details: - before arrival, communication on Booking.com goes through their central office in Quito, which is not always available and very responsive. Everything was anyway fixed by the lovely staff on site once arrived - while the price/quality ratio for rooms, services and food is great, some of the tours offered are a bit overpriced compared to similar or same tours from other haciendas and operators
Amazing place, lovely and helpful staff, always available to support and make you feel at home, welcomed and served. Amazing food at the restaurant, both for breakfast and (especially) for dinner View on Cotopaxi and other volcanoes (when not cloudy) Many options available for tours and activities The Hacienda has 1000ha of terrain with bulls, horses and hiking paths to explore Super cozy rooms, with internal heating and super comfortable beds Service available to arrange transport to the airport and to the location (there is no public service) Amazing massages and good SPA available on the Hacienda Cash free

United StatesNothing, everything was exceptional.
Everything! Everything was so nice and it is a very quaint hacienda. The staff was great, especially Rafael who was so helpful in answering all my questions and was always happy to help. The food was delicious. Our room was super clean and comfortable. I have nothing bad to say about my stay. The bed and linens were luxurious.. the added touches of the turn down service of putting heated water bottles in our bed to warm it up before bedtime, the chocolate tasting left by our bedside.. and I still can't believe the modern toilet seat with the seat warmer and bidet! A heated toilet seat makes such a difference when it is so cold like it is so high up in the mountains where this place is. The horseback riding and our guide Miguel was amazing, and the horses were very healthy and well trained. We also booked a massage and hung out in the steam room and hot tub- which was perfect after our horseback riding adventure.

AustraliaWe had the most amazing stay at Hacienda El Porvenir. It was just fantastic. The property is stunning. A beautiful farm house that instantly makes you feel like home. It is peaceful, calming and relaxing and we loved just sitting by the fire in the lounge room. Our bedroom was lovely - the fire kept us warm and it had all the comforts we could want. We loved the hot water bottles as night - such a lovely touch. The food was fantastic. Breakfast was amazing and the lunch and dinner choices were excellent. So we really loved El Porvenir - but what made it even more special were the people. The front desk team were exceptional - Joanna, Matias and Raphael went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic stay. They were incredibly helpful and personable and they made our stay extra special. As did everyone else in the team - from the beautiful ladies who kept our fires going to the gentle,smiling ladies in the restaurant. The team at Porvenir are truly exceptional.

Czech RepublicHacienda El Porvenir is absolutelly amazing accomodation to stay next to Cotopaxi national park. We loved the premises as it is hidden in the countryside and thanks to its unique and well protected architecture you trully feel like in a different world. World of peace, quietness where you can enjoy the nature and magnificent Cotopaxi volcano. The room was super comfortable, the food was delicious and also their spa is incredible. All the staff is so kind and willing to help you. We also booked a hiking trip and a horseriding trip with them and it was epic.
