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 reviewSula Sula was in a great location a short walk from town, there is a mini-mart opposite, a laundrette next to that and a micro-brewery with a lovely atmosphere just down the road. We appreciated being able to use the washing line outside to dry our swimsuits. Our older children enjoyed the lounge area to get a bit of space from the younger ones and some great wifi. The owners were friendly and waited for us to be picked up before evacuating due to the Tsunami (Sula Sula is also 11m above sea level so if thats a worry for you this could be a great option!)
We only had hot water on one day although I suspect electrical things were turned off due to the Tsunami warning.

Verified reviewThere were a couple of easily accessible water filter bottles on the property. The manager definitely mentioned that the water was not potable. Breakfast was decent, including juice, eggs, toast with butter and jam, yogurt and fruit. We were graciously allowed a late checkout, and a taxi was arranged for us to go to the airport.
Our room was right on the street, and the windows are thin, so any passing noise has an impact. The AC could be a bit noisy as well. The curtains were thin. The hot water takes a solid five minutes to heat up, but I'm not sure it ever gets HOT. The bathroom door is see-through. There was a small spray bottle of soap at the sink that was annoying to use. The location is a bit out of the way, but it's a small community, so it's not a huge issue.

Verified reviewVery clean and good location (slightly outside of town) but not too far. Breakfast was great and staff very friendly and helpful
Staff came into our room multiple times a day tidying up our room which meant we often couldn’t find our things and felt slightly intrusive especially in the evenings.

Verified reviewWe really enjoyed our stay at Sula Sula. The host is very kind and gave us a rundown of all the places to see on Isabela. She can also help book tours with reputable tour guides if needed. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable. WiFi worked very well. The breakfasts were delicious. The shower was the best we had on the 3 islands (good water pressure and hot). A/C was great. Isabela is small, so the location is a short walk to everywhere. They also stored our luggage for us after checkout and arranged for a taxi to take us to the airport.

Verified reviewWe loved our stay at this hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff, super comfortable and big bed, great shower - warm and great pressure, clean. Air con was a welcomed treat.
The only thing I disliked was that the room wasn’t very modern. But it was exceptionally clean and quite charming. I would absolutely stay again.

Verified reviewSula Sula is in quite a central location. The family who run this hotel are incredibly nice and helpful. At check in we we given a pretty complete synopsis of everywhere to go in the town and specific places that would be helpful to know about. Their kindness cannot be overstated. The breakfasts were wonderful, fresh juice, freshly cooked eggs, very good rolls, coffee and a few other items as well. The room was roomy, comfortable and very clean. There is even a clothesline you can use to dry your wet items after a day at the beach :-)
Actually, everything was great, no complaints.

Verified reviewThis is a nice hotel, excellent air conditioning, good wifi, really nice staff. However, it is a 10 to 15 minute walk from restaurants and shops. It's an easy walk, but very hot during the day and dark at night.

Verified reviewVery friendly small hotel, great breakfast, the owners was very helpful and interesting to speak to. Our room was large and looked new with good air con. It is in a nice and quiet location but still only 5 minutes walk to restaurants and bars. Isabella is so nice, much quieter than Santa Cruz but still with lots of places to eat and drink.

Verified reviewThe place was beautiful. Nice big, airy dining area where we were served a good breakfast every morning. Cold drinks for reasonable prices also sold there. Very good wifi. The beds were comfortable and room was spacious. Showers got hot with good pressure. A local naturalist guide with 16 years experience and his wife built and run this hostal.and you can book tours through them. We loved the people and the place and will be back!
I loved everything about this place.
