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.).

United StatesThe food/cocktail costs are a little expensive for the location. For three people, it cost more for food than the rooms. The activities are expensive as well for a short time of usage.
The location and views are incredible! The restaurant is beautiful and the staff works very hard to make sure you have an excellent experience.

CanadaOnly complaint was the wifi didnt work properly in our room and I had to work the night we stayed there. I had to move to the restaurant which closed at 9pm then I tried to work sitting on the stairs of my front porch to catch a spotty signal. Other than that, it was phenomenal.
I LOVED this hotel - it was so cozy and adorable! The view was incredible and the service was top notch! The food was another level and the grounds were spectacular! I will definitely stay here again next time I'm in Otavalo area.

United StatesWonderful resort feel, we stayed in Cabana 24 right in front of the lake incredible views of mountains and lake. Restaurant was a little pricey but wonderful food and again beautiful views right on the lake. We had a fireplace all though the wood was damp so had trouble keeping it going, there is no heat so it was a little chilly in the evening but they give you hot water bottles with these cute cartoonish chicken covers they were silly but so useful. We had a large sofa, coffee in the room, a Jacuzzi tub and nice functional shower. Our front porch was wonderful has a swing and a table and chairs very comfortable place to be. The property has everything mini golf, water sports, bunnies goldfish ponds, chickens, ducks, frogs at night, beautiful gardens just fabulous atmosphere. We even saw they have a super cute little daycare place so traveling parents can get a little break, it looked like a really fun place for small children and toddlers. We felt very pampered and blessed to have a few days here at the end of our two weeks in Ecuador. The location to get into Otavalo was great too close but removed from the city feel.

United StatesWe stayed one night (Saturday) into Sunday morning. Sunday's breakfast is a set menu - and no ala carte options. The breakfast was many (delicious) courses and with spectacular views, but the option to have smaller portions would've been nice (especially traveling with kids.) I would've loved an option for coffee to be delivered to the room (since we also had such spectacular views from our porch) - and regret not asking because the staff was just so accommodating. These are not negatives as much as nice-to-haves. The only complaint I had about our stay (and relayed this to reception) is that there is a small pen of chickens & roosters adjacent to the mini golf course. The rooster had a lot to say well before sunrise and due to the proximity of our cabin, it was disruptive. While the animals add charm to the grounds, constant crowing does not make for the quietest stay for light sleepers. I'd reiterate I would absolutely return and adore this property - but would suggest management find an alternate location for these guys ;)
This property was recommended to us by friends and we were not disappointed. The grounds are really well maintained - and offer activities like water sports, mini-golf, foosball, and even a small playhouse with coloring supplies and a play kitchen for little kids. We were offered a boat cruise at a small additional cost on Saturday night which included a one hour sunset cruise on the lake with a live band - where they also served a warm Ecuadorian drink (canelazo) and offered us ponchos to keep warm. It was so festive and fun and a perfect way to take in the scenery. We spent some time in the restaurant in the evening for a snack and drinks where we enjoyed live music (again, it was Saturday night!) and returned to our room to hot water bottles warming our pillows and a staff member lighting our room's fireplace. The family room we booked was spacious and comfortable. The kids had their own sleeping space in the balcony area (with small reading lights they loved!) and we had a small outdoor space with a lake view that we enjoyed morning and night.) The beds were comfortable and the room was very clean. The staff at the property were overly accommodating and pleasant and the food and drinks we consumed were really delicious. We are very much looking forward to returning!
