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 StatesThe town of Baños is ~30 min walk away, so you can opt to take a taxi. Other than that, the stay was very comfortable.
The property and grounds were beautiful and serene. My sister came down with a bad cold, and the front desk organized medicine delivery for her from a local pharmacy, which was very helpful. The spa was quite nice and relaxing, and the breakfast was incredible. The room was spacious and very cozy.

United StatesThere was nothing I didn't like only a suggestion: The comforter / quilt was of feathers which both of us are allergic to and unfortunately there was no alternative available, only blankets that didn't fit the bed. A comforter / quilt made of an alternative filling would have been greatly appreciated.
The hotel was previously a monastery so it has charm and atmosphere. Set in a landscaped park the location is perfect, you leave the busy street behind and don't notice that it's there. There is always a welcome drink available with or without alcohol, whenever you arrive at the hotel. Our large room with a jacuzzi bath was away from the main hotel set in a stone built building, nestling in the gardens, it was very clean with everything that you needed. The staff are correct and friendly yet they make you feel right at home, almost as if you are part of the family. The buffet breakfast at the weekends was superb, during the week you can order off the breakfast menu. The free laundry is worth a mention, it was a great help for us travelers and greatly appreciated.

United StatesThe restaurant menu was limited but the food was good.
gardens were beautiful! Bed was super comfortable and the staff and service were exceptional! The best part of my experience was transfer from Quito airport with the driver, Iban Burbano, that the hotel arranged for me. Not only did I do my airport transfer with him but a full day tour of Banos and surrounding area. he is very knowledgeable about the area and history and timed our tour to avoid crowds. We went hiking, swimming under waterfalls and even got in a bungee jump or two. It really was one of the most memorable days. Iban is great book him if you can!
