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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

Hotel Acacia is a wonderful boutique hotel which we stayed for a week. Jose and Claudia hotel staff were amazing and went out of their way for us to enjoy all the comforts. The hotel was spotless and they were always cleaning. Breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of fruit, yogurt, eggs, cheese, meat and avocado. Thank you to the chef! A friend was ill and they gave us an electrolyte supplement and made toast in the afternoon. Thank you to all the staff!

United StatesThe rooms are a bit small, especially for 2 people with several suitcases. It's hard to combat the humidity during the cool months (especially after taking a shower). Shower temperature can swing from hot to cold and be hard to control sometimes. Sink faucets are too short, so you often flood the counter when washing your hands.
The hotel staff is very friendly and always seeing how they can make your stay better. Breakfast is cooked fresh every day when you order it. If you need to leave early for an activity, you can put in your breakfast order the night before and have it waiting for you in the morning. The hotel is away from the main street, so it's a lot quieter than being in the touristic center. The bed is very comfortable. The towels are very soft, and you can take beach towels for free. WiFi is pretty fast, considering the island location. There is a hot tub, pool, and lots of terrace space.

United StatesHotel staff were friendly and very accommodating. Every evening they will ask you what time your excursions start, hot breakfast is served after 630am but if you are leaving for an excursion around that time they will make sure to have a boxed breakfast ready for you. Claudia, Carolina, and Jose were so wonderful and knowledgeable about the area. Carolina has the best restaurant recommendations!

The Acacia is a lovely hotel. In addition to the large comfortable rooms with modern bathrooms, the staff is wonderful. I cannot say enough about the level of professionalism, kindness and hospitality provided. One of the staff members even accompanied us to the medical clinic. Breakfast was also a treat. Location is just off the main square. Very easy walk to everything.

It’s a block off the main street but it’s in the heart of everything but not on main with all the traffic. The streets are made of pavers so it’s quiet. Great a/c. Catalina was a great host who even stayed a little late for us to make sure we were ok. Great customer service!

CanadaThe water temperature in the shower tends to fluctuate hot and cold, but I'm not sure there's anything that can be done about that. Not a big deal or a show-stopper by any means.
What an exceptional property! This immaculately clean boutique hotel has approximately 12 rooms on 3 storeys with wide open, airy common spaces to relax. Someone is always sweeping or cleaning around the small complex. The reception staff are incredibly welcoming, hospitable and helpful without being intrusive and English is well spoken. They can arrange everything for you as well as being partnered with a helpful travel agency next door. They can also send out for laundry service. Beach towels are available. Rooms are well appointed with all the standard travel essentials and tastefully decorated with local art featuring Galapagos wildlife themes. There is also an evening turn down service. The in-room A/C works very well and a small fridge is included. The table service breakfast is fresh and delicious and portions are large. You start with juice, fruit and yogurt followed by a different themed egg dish as a main course. Location in Puerto Ayora is excellent: just a few convenient steps away from the restaurants, shops and piers on the main avenue but far enough away such that it is nice and quiet in the evening. Should we ever return to Santa Cruz, this is where we'd stay. Again.

United StatesAbsolutely nothing- it was wonderful all around. 10 out of 10!
What an exceptional hotel! A perfect location, just a block off the main street with views of the water. We had the water view room and it was wonderful. The rooms are well equipped, modern, and quite stylish. As wonderful as the facilities are, it is the service that stands out even more- just wonderful. So kind and attentive to all your needs. Breakfast is great- I’m vegan and they went out of their way to make sure I had a great breakfast (the other half of our party was not vegan and had wonderful breakfast as well). I really can’t recommend this hotel more- I would definitely stay here if I’m lucky enough to return.
