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 StatesMy bed creaked, the water in the shower was warm but not very hot. WiFi cuts out when it rains. Felt like I was bothering staff sometimes when asking questions. I wish they would give you more information at check in about what there is to do and the tours that they offer.
Comfortable bed at a very affordable price, free water refill, great location in town next to lots of restaurants, did a day tour with them to Puyo which I enjoyed also at a good price ($25). They have kitchen facilities you can use. WiFi generally was ok but when it rains it cuts out. It was a good base for a few nights in Baños. It is kept very clean.

CanadaIt's not something we disliked, but a few hooks in the walls of the room or the bathroom might be useful... All in all, this was a great spot to stay in Banos!
We loved the service and friendliness of Alex and his family. His father was coming to visit him from Quito, so he gave us a ride in his car from the airport in Quito all the way to Banos (a 4-hour drive). It was VERY MUCH appreciated, even if an airport shuttle was listed as a service that the hostel provided. The room was cute and simple (one table/two chairs, as well as a night table and small rack on which to hang clothes), the shower was functional (hot water!!) and drained pretty well. The bed was comfy. We especially loved the courtyard and flowers near our room, as well as the colourful mozaïc on the front of the building. The location was outstanding, just a block away from downtown Banos. Thank you Alex for such a memorable stay in your hostel!

NetherlandsI stayed only one night - but everything is as per description. Owner and the family are really very nice . I was worried about the rain and biking to the cascades in the rain - but Alex reassured me it’s going to be fantastic and it was . They do not speak English, but tried their best to explain everything . It’s at the end of the busy road , but still within the centre - it’s like 5 mins walk to bus station and all restaurants and everything is within 2 mins walk . There is a cute and small patio where people can hangout
