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...).

AustraliaEverything was great, except there wasn’t an electricity plug near the bed. Apart from that, all good.
Beautiful hostel just a short walk to the centre of Mindo. It feels like it’s been transported out of rural Bali to the mountains of Ecuador!

EcuadorUnfortunately there was only one outlet in my room which was being used by another guest. Also I had to pay in cash because their card process didn’t work.
Location was great, close to town. Super nice to sit on the hammock on the porch and enjoy the warmth. The person working the front desk was extremely kind and let me store my bag.

MalaysiaI think it’s getting ready, most of the time the staffs are still maintaining the place. It must be beautiful in future. Next door and the property itself could be loud in the morning due to construction. Only 1 bathroom on the 2nd floor, the kitchen utensils are limited and especially when the staffs used them all. The public area is limited as well, it was also occupied by the stuff. Bad sound proof you could hear your neighbours talking or even whispering. Afternoon could be loud because it’s facing the football field. It could be better if the room has a table or chair. Oh yes the upper bunk is really close to lower bunk. So the lower bunk will always accidentally hit the head. Overall cute place but could be better 7/10
The staffs are friendly. Only two beds in the room and most of the time I have my privacy. The place is very cute and I like the design with the plants.

EcuadorVery very friendly people, I had a nice stay and felt safe and comfortable. It was just hard to find. There is no sign on the house and the people around couldn't help me find it. Maybe it would be helpful if it is more present next to the other hotels and hostels.
