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.).

United StatesI visited this hotel with my family (spouse and three kids, ages 11, 6 and 3) for one night, and we all loved it. The grounds were beautiful, the staff was nice, and the dinner was delicious and cheap. Our room was huge, and the beds were very comfortable. I wish we could have stayed a little longer.

United StatesThe primary reason to stay anywhere in Puembo is for the close proximity to the airport. If you want to experience Quito tourist stuff, nightlife, or restaurants, then staying downtown is more convenient and fun.
I've stayed here multiple times in the past few years, and I've always been very pleased. The grounds / gardens are beautiful and relaxing. The beds are comfy, the showers are hot, the service is friendly and reliable, and the food is good (breakfast included and you can request dinner for an extra charge). For a few extra dollars you can also use the Turkish sauna. This is my favorite place to stay for easy access to the Quito airport.

United StatesThe weather in Ecuador during the rainy season is mercurial. There were two nights that were very chilly despite the 2 blankets and the comforter on the bed. Winter sleep attire is recommended if you are uncomfortable with cold. The lighting in my room was not conducive to bedtime reading. My reading materials were on my Kindle, so I was not affected. Others might want to pack a reading light.
The location was perfect for me, close to the airport and to my family. The breakfasts were always good: fresh fruit, eggs, cheese or ham, toast, juice, coffee, or tea. Zaysant is such a beautiful, serene property. The grounds are filled with flowers and I enjoyed seeing the various birds. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. They prepared a dinner for six for us; everything was well prepared and tasty. I was glad to be able to extend my stay at Zaysant. I ended up staying there for 7 of the 9 nights that I was in Ecuador. One of the things I liked best was the private sitting area outside my door. It was the perfect place for journaling (tables with a bench in between) and a most relaxing hammock for reading or sleeping. Each room has one of these private outdoor spaces. Rooms are beautifully appointed. I'll look forward to staying there in the future.

United StatesVisitors should bring a reading light for nighttime reading of hard copy books as nighttime lighting is inadequate for reading in bed. Nights have been chilly even with multiple blankets on the bed. Winter sleep attire is recommended.
Zayzant is a beautiful, serene property. My room was very comfortable and clean. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Each room has its own outdoor seating space, most with a bench, sofa, table and chairs, desk, or hammock. These spots are perfect for journaling, reading, or relaxing. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with opportunities for birdwatching. Children staying here enjoyed the soccer area. Wifi worked well and there are adequate and convenient outlets for recharging devices. Zayzant provides good bottled water for drinking on site and also for backpacking...so helpful.

United StatesThe only negative I have is that Said from Zaysant, who contacted me by what's app about picking us up never followed through for either of our stays (3/7/23 & 3/15/23). No one showed up to get us on 3/7/23 and he had told us by what's app that someone would be waiting for us with a sign with my name on it. There was no one there with a sign and we waited 30 minutes so then we had to take a taxi. This was late at night 11:30 pm and thankfully the taxi was very kind and we were safe. But when you're in a new country, don't speak the language, is it scary and intimidating so it would have been nice for them to have come through on their offer to pick us up at the airport. On 3/15/23 the same thing happened, he asked if we needed to be picked up and I asked him how much and if someone would show up since they didn't on 3/7/23 and he never then responded to me so we had to atke a taxi again. This time not scary as it was 4 pm and we'd already done it once. Just make sure at the airport you get a taxi that is registered with the city and that you ask them how much it will be before you get in the car. We had no problems becasue that is what we did.
This is a beautifully done place and very clean! The women who manages it is very kind and competent! We enjoyed our stay a lot because of her (I so wish I remembered her name)! Thank you for making dinner for us (at a very reasonable cost), and serving me a wonderful glass of wine. This made for such a relaxing evening after a long days travel and before another long day of travel the next day. We were so blessed to be able to spend some time here before our long journey home and with the added bonus of the adorable puppies and their sweet mother and the beautiful humming birds! You were so lovely and took such amazing care of us, including getting up at 4 am to make sure our taxi came and to check us out! I would recommend this place to everyone!

FranceWhen we arrived we were offered dinner, which was spaghetti Bolognese, and it was delicious! Then when we came to pay the bill we were charged 12 dollars a plate. Seems like a lot of money for a simple plate(with no extras like salad, wine or beer). Luckily they didn't charge for our 4 year old girl!
