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 reviewThe hosts were wonderful. Marcelo picked us up from the airport and took us back early the next day. The lodge was beautiful, including the views from the city. Our children were able to run around the grounds and play with the dogs, which was great after hours in an airplane. Marcelo coordinated ordering dinner from a local restaurant, and we had some excellent wine from his wine cellar. We just stayed one night, and it might not have been the closest option for one night between flights, but it was well worth it. It would make an incredible and peaceful stay for longer periods.
We're so pleased to hear your comments and feedback about the Lodge and its service. Marcelo truly enjoys being a host, and all of us who work at Ilatoa try to make our guests feel at home, yet pampered by our services. We hope to see you again, Jessica and family, sometime in the future.

Verified reviewThe room was amazing with comfortable beds and the best view! Marcelo and his kids are very friendly and helpful. Marcelo even took us to an ATM to get cash. The garden full of humming birds is wonderful. The dogs are sweet and funny. I liked the hike up the old volcano.
Nothing!
Thank you, Irene, for your review. We are so happy to know you enjoy the hotel and our service; we try to do everything we can for our guests. The view, the birds, and the hike up Ilaló Volcano are truly what makes us unique, as are our dogs.

Verified reviewThis was a last minute reservation I made due to a change of plans. I was looking for a place which had electricity (during a time of energy crisis in Ecuador!) in the vicinity of the Cumbaya area. There aren't many options. This is a nice family-run place with a beautiful patio (with hummingbirds) and a nice view of Quito. The accommodations are good for a short stay, and the staff is very kind and helpful.
It is a bit far up the mountain, but getting a taxi was not a problem. The rooms don't have heating so it can get a bit chilly. The internet doesn't work very well.
Thank you for your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay at Ilatoa Lodge. Being a mountain lodge, it could be a bit chilly at night, so all rooms have blankets, and you can request a heater.

Verified reviewVery beautiful lodge. Amazing location, great views and amazing owners who are super helpful and friendly. Its up on the mountain so very fresh air and quiet, but still only a short drive from the nearest Mall and other shopping areas. We will definitely come back :) thanks for everything!
Thank you very much Judith for your comments. It was a pleasure to have you at Ilatoa Lodge, we hope that next time you come with friends or family. There is much more to know about Ecuador.

Verified reviewThis lodge is run by a happy family. The husband speaks good English. They picked me up at my airport hotel for an extra charge and setup safe taxi service with a local man that they knew and trusted to take me to the hot springs, gym etc. There is an excellent wine cellar here and a good restaurant for take out nearby.
You cannot walk anywhere from here...but it is a beautiful home and land. So if you come here you will either rent a car or pay for taxi.
Thank you so much for your opinion. The concept of the hotel is that, away from the city, but close to everything. Most of our guests come with agencies, so they have their own guides or drivers, others rent a car or take taxis. We are glad to know that you enjoy our service.

Verified reviewIlatoa Lodge is a magical place! The hosts are extremely kind and helpful. The location is perfect in the middle of nature, but close to the airport. It was quiet and serene. The balcony allows a wonderful sight to the mountains and valleys. The garden is enchanting and relaxing.
Hi Simona, It was a pleasure for us to have you and your mother at the Lodge. We are very glad that you enjoyed her stay. I hope you can visit us again and explore the rest of the country.
