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 reviewLa Rabida Hotel boutique was as advertised. Tranquil, beautiful decor, comfortable room, helpful and gracious host.
The only thing I would say is that I would have liked the croissants warmed up for breakfast. 🙂

Verified reviewThe location was great and the staff helpful. The room was pretty.
The bed was hard and I was cold the whole time. The heater didn't put out enough heat to take the chill out of the room.

Perhaps a glass in the room to have a beverage and maybe coffee in suite for early risers. Otherwise I loved the place and would go back again.

Verified reviewThis is a great hotel - a real Gem. Small, and has plenty of character. The staff were amazing and we enjoyed chatting. The breakfast was great. The Wifi was reliable. Well located in Quito to get to many other spots - I would highly recommend a visit to Quito Vivarium and The Botanical gardens.

Verified reviewThe staff was friendly and very helpful. The apparent owner who sometimes managed things was not. I felt like an unwanted house guest when he was around.
My room smelled like sewer the whole time due to a drain in the bathroom. There were 2 large dogs lunging in the common areas the whole time (on furniture). Everything was covered in dog hair and one day the stairs had dog poop.

Verified reviewLa Rabida is an absolutely charming hotel. The owners - Christian, Xavier and another gentleman are very casual. From the time I walked in, I felt like I was walking into a home. Very easy going. Great room (spacious, adequate and comfy), strong wifi (a must for us digital nomads) and overall nice home like enviroment, including the 2 dogs Belle and Rody.
I wouldn't say "don't like" as I didn't have any issues....but I can see people who are used to "conventional hotels" with 24x7 reception a bit surprised when there isn't someone all the time at the desk. That said, they provide their numbers and whatsapp contact, so it's easy to get hold of them.

Verified reviewThe breakfast was very good and made to order. The owners checked with us the night before to ensure we were happy with what they planned to make and said they would have it ready for whatever time was convenient for us. A+ service.
The hotel was very quiet and safe. However, it would have been nice if the room had a stronger lock than just simply the handle lock. I never felt unsafe but I would have felt even safer if I had the ability to deadbolt the room while I slept.
