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.).

The steamy pools were right outside our room and throughout the hotel. Not deep, so kids can enjoy them too. The restaurant had a lovely variety, and the food was delicious. The rooms were spacious, very clean, and the beds were comfortable. The spa treatments were exceptional. Highly recommend staying here!

EcuadorWe had facials and the lighting in the facials room was too bright to really relax.
The staff makes sure you are well taken care of, the bed and bedding is incredibly comfortable, and the pools are clean and very relaxing. We also used the spa which was quite luxurious.

Colombiathe check in is time consuming, not enough staff, but what bothers most again and again in Ecuador, also this hotel try to charge the IVA to short term foreign tourists, it is a stressfull and not honest way of trying to transfer the booking.com 15% charge to the hotels to the tourist clients by trying to charge 15% IVA. Short term tourist are excempt of paying 15% IVA, be honest and do honest business. It is so frustrating and stressfull to deal with this dishonest attitude! For this stressful attitude I give you deserve only 1 point. For all the foreign tourist fight for this wrong attitude! I finally did not pay the 15% IVA.
The infrastructure, the termal bath, the room, the breakfast, the staff at the restaurant and breakfast, deserve 10 points

United StatesTermas de Papallacta is a beautiful place that offers many opportunities to enjoy nature and be pampered. Everything is carefully catered to give the guest a comfortable stay: the rooms, the pools, and the spa. The staff is incredibly attentive; the breakfast is delicious! There are also many options for hikes within the property and in the beautiful ecological reserve Cayambe Coca.

EcuadorWater in the pools could have been warmer since it was such a cold day-night. Once we reported it to someone passing by it was immediately taken care of, but it's uncomfortable to leave the pools in the cold to find someone to increase the temperature.
I love that when you book with BOOKING.COM the amazing breakfast buffet is included! We also always appreciate the EARLY CHECK IN OPTION with access to the Balneario. The staff is always friendly, attentive and helpful.
