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 reviewOur host Joseph was very welcoming and helpful. He even took us on a tour of the neighbourhood so we could get orientated. He gave us lots of advice about places to eat and visit. The accommodation was in a great location which was quiet and safe with a beautiful park. It was very clean and had everything we needed.
Nothing

Verified reviewThis accommodation is ideally situated for birdwatching at the Olive Gardens and is within walking distance of major sites in San Isidro and Miraflores. Our host was exceptionally kind, making us feel as though we were staying with friends. The rooms were quiet and comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious and plentiful.
All good.

Verified reviewEverything was perfect. Joseph is an amazing host, very kind, helpful and a trustful person. The room is big, very comfy with a good and big bed. The location is perfect, in the middle of the Bosque el Olivar, where is peaceful and is a beautiful place in San Isidro and you can walk to Miraflores easily or take an Uber. We stayed there twice in the same trip (meanwhile we went to Huaraz) and it was the best decision we made of changing the second hotel in the middle of our trip.

Verified reviewJoseph was the most attentive host I have ever had- from communicating before I even landed in the country, to staying awake to greet me and even taking me for a drive around town to show me the local places. He had every need considered in the rooms from drinks stocked up in the fridge to all the toiletries in the bathrooms, and during breakfast he always came to chat and engage with his guests. Thank you so much Joseph!
Everything was perfect!

Verified reviewIf you want four in one: a very nice apartment, a delicious varied breakfast, a great location, and a friendly atmosphere, you should stay at B&B El Olivar. The owner, Joseph, is a smiling, friendly, and extremely attentive man. On the first day, he kindly drove us around San Isidro to familiarize us with the area. The next day, my husband felt sick. Joseph took us to the hospital, helped us communicate with doctors, and sort out insurance issues. We felt so comfortable under his care that we decided to stay with him for a few more days. We had wonderful impressions not only from Lima but also from communicating with a pleasant and interesting person who knows the history of Peru.

Verified reviewExcellent location, great breakfast with fresh fruits, ham and cheese, coffee and assorted breads. Not to forget fresh juice of your choice! Great rooms, with own A/C, mini bar stocked with yogurt, water, sports drinks, beer, etc. I was told all is restocked on a daily basis at no additional cost! Given this B&B has about 4 or 5 rooms only, you get the personal attention from owner Joseph Berry which makes the experience second to none.
Nothing really.

Verified reviewEverything was amazing at Joseph's B&B! He was helpful from the very beginning, long before we even arrived. He helped us reserve our airport pickup and gave us recommendations for where to eat in the city (the places he recommended were fantastic!). He truly thought of every last detail at the property itself, far more than I ever expect at any hotel. I loved the location and the breakfast was fantastic. I truly can't say enough good things about this place, stay here if you come to Lima and want to feel at home!
Everything was great, I have no complaints at all
