Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

IrelandOur first night there, there was lots of noise from either the neighbouring cabin or the hosts house (talking and laughing until 5.30am in the morning). If you are squeamish about creepy crawlies, it might not be for you. There was quite a lot of wildlife in our cabin, including a massive spider that we removed.
Nice quiet location outside of the town - peaceful (apart from our first night, more on that below) Tasty breakfast with coffee, eggs, bread, fruit, juice Pool was a nice addition for relaxing by Staff were friendly (host dropped us to the bus station and wouldn't take any money for it) Lovely dog at the property, very friendly

United StatesThere was nothing about our stay that we didn’t like about Los Cedros, but other travelers should be aware that although outside city limits, it’s still in a neighborhood with a lot of noise-there was an event nearby on a Saturday night that went very late, and the neighborhood and property wakes early to get going. If proximity to downtown is less important and quietude is more important to you I might advise staying further out towards Mariposas de Mindo and Tarabita. The plumbing in our unit had a leaking faucet, and an erratic water heater in the shower, but the bathroom and room was clean.
Cesar the owner was absolutely exceptional! He went so so far out of his way to make us welcome, orient to the surroundings of Mindo and Ecuador in general. Friendly and attentive, he and his family made our stay at Los Cedos fabulous! We got to try out the new hot tub overlooking lush hills and valleys, which is thoughtfully planned out when you arrive so you have the space to your party alone. The setting is outside the downtown, about 1/2 mile outside and uphill from the town center and you get a chance to hear the jungle go to sleep and wake up. We also got to play with new baby puppy Frost, who is the cutest creature you’ll ever meet!

Isle of ManTo be aware if arriving in the evening, during our visit the only food/bar service seemed to be breakfast (we enquired before arriving about food service in the evening, they said yes, but there wasn’t anything). Also, suggest to have a booklet/information about Mindo, activities available to guests.
Totally in nature individual cabin stay in Mindo. Greeted by hummingbirds each morning at breakfast, delightful. Approximately 20 minutes walk to Mindo’s restaurants etc. Hot water to make tea available all day.

NetherlandsThe cabanas could have been a bit more spacious and provided with a cupboard and hooks for organizing your stuff. Then again, upon request, I got a fridge installed for no extra money. Also it is a shame for guest and owner (missing out the income) that there were no drinks or food for sale.
The owner, Cesar, and manager Maria were extremely friendly and hospitable. There are a few cabins on a large property. No music or disturbances, so great for feeling totally in nature. In and around the dining area there were allways lots of kolibris/hummingbirds, many kinds - not afraid of humans, buzzing around your head at some 40 centimeters. Good breakfast, in accordance to guests' likings. I should also mention the friendly and flexible pick-up service from Quito Airport for just $40

Very nice people, Cesar helps to understand all options in Mindo. He is very flexible with timings when arriving earlier or later. Great garden in the middle od nature and nice breakfast place. Lots of flowers and hummungbirds. Calm and just 10 min from Mindo Center.

Silent place, 10 minutes walk from city center. Tea and coffee is available all day. We arrived late in the evening and lady (manager) prepared dinner for us even though they don't normally offer it.
