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 KingdomThe gardens of the property were really beautiful, really enjoyed sitting by the river at breakfast. Breakfast was nice too. It’s a little out of town but short taxi ride away or you can walk in 30-40 mins if you’re quick.

NetherlandsThe location of the hotel as it appears in booking.com is far 40 minutes ride from the actual location. I hope they fixed it.
The cabin is nearby a river serrounding with a lot of trees which gives a real feel of nature.

Finland•The pool is not in the hotel! The description of the hotel says there is an outdoor swimming pool, which turns out to be 2km down the road in some other hotel. We were told we could use the pool until 7pm, but when we arrived at the hotel with the pool, we were told that 'people from up the road' are only aloud to use the pool until 4pm. •There is a QR code available to see the restaurant's menu. But turns out it is not up to date, so when you want to pay, the final price is higher than expected. •The restaurant hours are written in a little sign that is given to you when you sit at the restaurant (with a service button attached to it), but turns out that THAT is also not up to date, so when you want to order something for dinner, the kitchen is already closed. •Our bed was EXTREMELY noisy, the boards under the mattress sounded like a pig was being slaughtered every time we turned... (Room 203)
The location and the surroundings. The forest and the river around the hotel are very beautiful. Staff is very nice and helpful. Service during the breakfast was very pleasant.

United KingdomThere is very little I would change. It was perfect for our needs.
Mindo gardens is a few km out of the main town of Mindo. It has its own land with some trails/walks to nearby waterfalls. The gardens are beautiful and teaming with birds, frogs and other wildlife. So if you want a perfect/quiet get away staying somewhere beautiful while able to see wildlife then this is perfect. If you want to be central to Mindo and in a more busy environment then this may not be for you as the walk/taxi into town will get tiresome.

United KingdomShower on the lower floor is partially visible by passers by. Need to wake early to go to Lek for a chance to see the Cock on the rock and Toucans.
Excellent for bird watchers cabin close to the river with the soothing sounds of the hummingbirds and running stream. Hikes nearby to two waterfalls and the small lagoon, great for night safari for frogs and insects. Chef is very good loved the grilled prawns. The hotel was kind to give me a lift to Mindo as I did not have a car.

United KingdomSome of the windows were just mosquito netting - which kept out the mosquitos but did allow small flies in. These were harmless/non-biting but annoying
This is a lovely place to stay a few kms outside of Mindo, beside the river surrounded by forest. We were in Mindo bird watching so enjoyed the feeders. The staff were great - very helpful and attentive to our needs and very friendly. The food was tasty and fresh and the kitchen kindly provided us with breakfast to take away when we were leaving early.

Ecuadorthe breakfast is very basic and the pool is located 1.8 km away. Book if you do have car.
This is the perfect place if you want to disconnect, it’s far from the main town in the middle of a forest and the river is next to. There are waterfalls and a lagoon you can go included. It’s a super nice property. Two things to improve: the breakfast is very basic and the pool is located 1.8 km away.

EcuadorThe hot water in the shower didn’t work well. It was really hot and after 5 minutes it was cold again. I could shower my daughter there. We didn’t like that the pool was not in the same place as the hostel and the shower didn’t work and there was no staff to ask for help. We were left alone.
The place is beautiful! You can have breakfast watching the hummingbirds flying near you. The room was really clean and comfortable. Loved that we had water in the room.
