Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

GermanyBasic place as expected.
I stayed in a room with ocean view. The place is very basic but the location is beautiful. I loved to hear the ocean at night. The AC was working, shower too and the bed was comfortable, the room clean. For a budget price you get a wonderful view! I would recommand to stay there.

United KingdomThere was a very annoying cat yowling late at night in the corridors until someone chased him away. A little noisy on Saturday night from the town.
Few minutes walk from the pier. AC. Shower was hot but you have to let it run for a few minutes first. Good WiFi. Could also hear the waves from my room, even though not ocean facing.

United KingdomReally needed a good clean. Lots of missed areas. Tv in the room didn’t work. After 60 hours of travel, I could have done with something to stare at. Thin walls - noisy guests meant it wasn’t very peaceful.
The view was the best!! The location was great - close to bus stop from airport & restaurants, bars, shops, ferry port to other islands. Reception staff were super friendly & helpful. Book swap.

United States of AmericaNo potable water or hot water for coffee or tea available for guests. No stove to heat your own. Internet is very marginal. Curtains a bit too small for the windows. A few, not many, mosquitos in the room each evening.
Great balcony view from the seaside rooms.Watch birds, iguanas, sea lions from the balcony. Located in center of town. Boats and water shuttles five minutes away. Comfortable rooms and beds. Air vonditioning and TV work nicely.

CanadaWe expected a kitchen or hostel vibe and that's not the case. It's more of a hotel, with hostel rooms. That didn't bother us too much though.
The view and location were perfect! So special to fall asleep to the sound of the ocean. The owner is so lovely.

United States of AmericaMy room was situated directly above the littered police yard, which was in contrast to much elsewhere in the Galapagos, so the otherwise great view was definitely affected negatively. (The Galapagos police shouldn't keep such a littered yard, especially next to the sea! Not to mention in direct view of tourists.) :-\ The room is sometimes disturbed by other guests who come to the balcony right outside the door to take in the view, talk on their phones, etc.. Another issue was at night... the lighting on the balcony really took away from the nighttime ocean and sky view, and also flooded inside the room with too much light at night. The problem is that all the lights are on just one switch! So rather than turn off the lights for everyone, I got on a chair and unscrewed the bulb directly in front of my room. Was so much better! :-) The short road and alley leading to the place is not fully paved and may be difficult for some with large bags. It is not very wheelie-bag friendly. There is no drinking water available without asking for it, and there isn't always someone around. The wifi wasn't fully reliable, but still better than other places I stayed.
Location, view (depending on your room) and staff all very good! Location is right in town and yet very quiet, situated down an off-the-beaten-path alley, but only a few steps from the main drag. Great. Staff were very helpful with everything as needed, even above & beyond in a couple of instances. The balcony rooms provide a fantastic sea view (note the exception below) looking across the water to Isla Santa Fe and across the bay to the edge of Puerto Ayora town and the Darwin Research Station. Really gorgeous. The sunrises from this vantage point were amazing! Gotta be up early though. ;-) The only drawback to the view (again totally depending on your room), was the unkempt & littered yard of the police precinct directly below. :-\
