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.).

Secure building, very discrete from the outside. The interior was beautiful and well taken care of. The breakfast was delicious. Attentive and friendly staff. Location is close to everything but far enough to have privacy.

EcuadorNew and excellent hotel! It is a clean and comfortable suite, nice and equipped kitchen. We paid our staying with credit card without problem, because in Mindo the cash machine didn't work. The hotel is just two blocks from the center in a quite place. The staff very friendly. The breakfast was delicious and variety. The garage is free.

United StatesThis place is beautiful, but very expensive for Mindo. With all the fees it was close to $120 USD per night. We were only there a few days. The shower only ever got warm, not hot, and the wifi was either not working or working very slow. We could not use it for work, which for the price we would expect better hot water access and working internet.
This is a nice new property in a great location within walking distance of everything in central Mindo. It's very new and clean and the courtyard and lounge were lovely. The bed is super big and very comfortable. The kitchen was clean and nice and had the basic cooking tools we needed to make a few meals.

MalaysiaYou are not given a key to the outer door. You are reliant on the staff to get into the property every time. They were always there, but you felt bad about buzzing them so many times.
The rooms were fresh and modern. Everything you needed was there including a kitchen for self catering. Mindo is lovely and everything is in walking distance. The staff are very attentive and helpful.

United StatesNothing!
My friend and I had an incredible experience. We booked very last minute (9pm the night before) and had no issues. Ronny was so responsive and kind, answering all of our questions promptly and making sure we had everything we need. Our room (including a fridge with filtered water!) was massive, modern, and clean. Everything we could have wanted. It was also so close to everything we wanted to do, making it easy to get around. Breakfast and massages on the terrace were incredibly easy to schedule, well priced, and just wonderful. Can't recommend this place enough!

United StatesWe liked everything!
Everything! It’s a beautiful room, in a great location. It’s only a 5 minute walk into town and you can get taxis anywhere you want to go. It’s so peaceful, and Ronny (the man who runs the hotel) is so friendly and helpful! We stayed for 5 nights and would have loved to stay longer! If you’re in doubt, go ahead and book it. You won’t be sorry!

United KingdomNothing, we loved this property and would definitely stay here again. But a few small suggestions for the owners would be to provide a kettle, as well as the coffee maker, for the apartment, as we both prefer tea. Also, there is only one toaster for allvthe apartments to use, (which Ronny kindly lent us when it was available.) Perhaps a few more cooking utensils would also come in handy as well, for those guests who are self-catering.
Lovely, large and modern apartment, which was spotlessly clean, in an excellent, quiet location near Mindo town centre. It is in a safe and secure complex, looked after by the manager Ronny, who was really lovely. Nothing was too much trouble for him, and he was always around to let us in or out, including for our early morning starts for bird watching trips at 5am! We had the "family apartment with balcony" which provided a relaxing private sitting area, overlooking the peaceful inner courtyard, which has a small pool. The apartment also had a kitchen with a 4 gas burners, a microwave oven and large fridge freezer, as well as flatware, and a few cooking pans and utensils. The kitchen was very handy for us to prepare meals, although the complex does offer breakfasts to purchase. In Mindo, there is a mini-market 5 minutes walk from the hotel which sells a good range of food and alcohol, and many other shops as well.
