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 reviewVery calm and nice place.
I had booked the second floor because I liked the chimney but ended up on the first floor without a chimney. I requested breakfast, and it was served to us, but not as we had the last time that we were there. It seemed that it was prepared in a rush. The place is difficult to find; it doesn't have signs or directions. We waited for about 35 minutes for the host to come and meet us.

Verified review- wonderful people - recommendations for Inti Raymi and with a small additional fee ($20 in total for all 3 of us) we got to participate and stay for a night at Casa Hotel Loma Wasi as well, which allowed for a much more immersive experience of the community’s festivities - tastefully decorated space - complementary laundry
- we were asked to pay half the amount of the reservation via PayPal on the day of the reservation, which also included an additional 7% - no sufficient heating in the room and the hot water in the shower was inconsistent. The owner tried to fix it a couple of times, which was very much appreciated, but the freezing experience was hard to get over - a $2 taxi is needed for most outings - breakfast was available for an additional fee

Verified reviewBreakfast service was poor. Location is out of the main town, so I had to take a taxi because one being far and 2 to walk in or out was like a Little maze.
I only talk to the owner once , to pay him his rent, and I did not see him again. Staff was almost non-existent.. The staff sometimes help me to call a taxi other times not , I had to find a local person to call for me. taxi drivers in the main town, had a hard time finding house

Verified reviewRual seeting, town 20 minute walk,excellent host,new modern upscale apartment,very safe as is the Cotacahi town, nearby places to explore, much prefer this to bring in town
The occasional electricity cuts which affect all of Cotacachi with the exception of the downtown business area... In October 2024 we had five hour cuts twice a day. But noon on Sat or Sun. It was .5 to 10 am and then 2 to 7 pm ....recharable florescent light. And candles provided...ALL OF ECUADOR IS EXPERIANCING POWER CUTS NOW WHICH MAY CONTINUE UNTILL DEC 2024 OR LATER It's not bad unless you need to be on line during blackouts hours..in which case you can get a place in the town center

Verified reviewI really loved the quietness of the location. Inside the studio apartment was amazing. Extremely comfortable bed, cooker and fridge with all utensils provided. I cooked 2 meals a day here with ease and enjoyment. My view out my window was volcano Imbabura. Lovely family living next door who own the place and they really look after the place. They have a lovely family dog and cat. The water in the shower provides strong pressure and always hot water available. There is also a blender in the kitchen for making smoothies. Highly recommend. I stayed 4 nights.

Propriety was awesome, the roads were not.
