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 reviewThey waited at reception until we arrived from our evening bus, which ended up being around midnight and even us offered tea and coffee. It is a great location close to the bus stop and mercado. Great place to stay if you are looking to go to Ingapirca. Hot showers and a large room.
Kitchen was very basic - only plastic cutlery, microwave, kettle, and sandwich grill. Did not affect our stay as we were only there for one night.

Verified reviewGreat place to stay before heading to Ingapirca! The hotel is located close to Panamerica Highway, and not far from the market (where you'll catch buses to the ruin, or Quito/Cuenca). It has a 7/24 reception, and provides purified water for you to fill up. The hotel itself is simple, but super clean and modern. Given the price I paid, it's way above my expectation.

Verified reviewEverything was perfect, excellent hosts who always asked if you needed anything. Good motorcycle parking and use of a kitchen. Very clean and well appointed rooms with very hot water and good wifi connection. Quiet and comfortable. This can be more than an overnight stop, as easy access to Ingapirca ruins( Inca and Canari), Inca baths and the market at Canar.
Nothing

Verified reviewHonestly I can not say enough good things about this place. Although it's really a hotel, not a hostel but that doesn't matter. I really appreciated the little heater and the filterd water. The family that owns it is very nice and helpful. He even went and bought a small reading light for me to use. It was awesome.
I booked my room about 6 weeks ago but when I am there you could get it for 1/2 the price I paid 😡

Verified reviewThis hotel ist the perfect place for visiting Ingapirca. It's very close to the bus stop but still quiet as it's not on the main street :) The staff was super nice and helpful, giving a lot of recommendations. Rooms were clean, beds are comfy and they provide an heater (even if we didn't need it).
