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 reviewFernando was very nice and provided a snack, because we had to leave early to go to a penguin tour. There was free parking in front of the house.
Nothing.

Verified reviewgated, secure location. off street parking. staff provided “snack” to go for early am penguin and/or whale tours. Lovely breakfast. Responsive and attentive staff.
unfortunately, the vets office is across the street and there are sometimes dogs being boarded there that bark all night. If your window remains closed, this is not a problem.

Verified reviewOur room (on an angle) had a superb view of the incoming boats which was very interesting. It is situated up a hill so real birds’ eye look. Modern room. Great shower. Lovely relaxing room for reading a book/taking in the view. Usual breakfast served with a smile. Nice staff though no English. Would stay here again. Parking outside but off the road. Not far to walk into town. Very good value.
Carry luggage upstairs (no lift) but then it’s not a hotel. Locked gate with a key that is a bit tricky.

Verified reviewArturo is a wonderful host and we were very pleased to be able to arrange for same-day laundry from the staff at the hostal. We had booked the room with the view of the water, and the view was indeed wonderful. We were also right next to a big shared sitting room, which we used a lot. Since we were up the hill from the downtown area, we walked down and taxied back up -- both convenient and inexpensive.
The room, while elegant and new, was very small, with limited space to unpack.

Verified reviewVery clean, cosy and had everything we needed. Arturo the host was extremely helpful and accommodating, even prepared us some snacks the night before in lieu of the breakfast as we were leaving very early for an excursion.
Was a little further from the city centre but was still walkable and not a big deal for us.
