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):
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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United StatesShower was awful. Hot water would suddenly shut off. Constantly adjusting the cold/ hot temperatures. But after a few days you'll learn to get by with it. But for price, shower must be better. Also bring your own beach towels. Owner should provide additional towels at no cost. Also need drying rack for wet clothes. And no iron.
Location great. Apt exceptionally clean. Wonderful place. Beds very comfortable. Tv and internet were great. Very spacious.

United KingdomThe chairs in the lounge were a little uncomfortable but it wasn't a problem to us as we were always out and about doing things, but it was made up by having a really comfortable bed.
The Host Connie was lovely, nothing seemed to be a problem. We asked if it was possible for a coffee machine and the very next day there was a coffee machine at our door. Love the artwork in the apartment.

The apartments are perfectly situated in Puerto Ayoro - close to restaurants, shops and the wharf. Very spacious and comfortable, it is also quiet given the central location. Connie was an excellent host, super thoughtful in her management of the apartment, with daily cleaning and a well appointed kitchen for meal preparation. When we explained we had been travelling nearly 24 hours to get there, she organised early check in for us which we were so grateful for. She was also able to organise a transfer to get back to the airport on the day we were leaving. The Galápagos Islands have been a highlight of our travels and we highly recommend the apartment for a stay on Santa Cruz.

United StatesAt night the street was very noisy with people and traffic, which we could hear in our room. Tough on sensitive sleepers.
We loved our spacious and sparkling clean apartment. Our room overlooked one of the main streets and provided us a nice view of the bay. We were steps away from many restaurants and shops, as well as the pier from which expedition boats departed.

United StatesThe shower kept vacillating between cold and hot - scalding hot. It wouldn't stay stable. There were also tiny bugs that tried to get in our groceries and I learned later these bugs are ubiquitous to the Galapagos. We solved it by putting all our food in the refrigerator.
This was a perfect location - close to Darwin Center, shopping, grocery store, restaurants, and the waterfront. The room balcony had a view of the bay.and the terrace up the roof was an added bonus. The room was very clean and spacious

United Statesour only comment was the sleeper sofa was not "really" a sleeper sofa. Also be aware there is no elevator, so stairs are required to access the apartment. Connie and her husband were kind enough to assist us with our luggage, which we very much appreciated!
Connie was wonderful to work with, and very responsive. The apartment was immaculate and well located, within walking distance to the Ferry and many restaurants. Lovely view from the balcony and most importantly, the beds were very comfortable!

BelgiumIt wasn't issue for us but the sofa-bed (for the 3rd person) was quite low, so you have impression to sleep on the floor but was quite comptable.
Great location, sparking clean, nice view on the ocean from the room and we also could use the terrace upstairs with more direct ocean view. Perfect for the couple.
