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 StatesThere was nothing we didn't like except that we couldn't stay longer
The whole resort was amazing. The grounds were beautifully landscaped. Our room had a back patio that sat right at the edge of the pond and it was so relaxing to sit out at night and listen to the crickets and the frogs. Everything was perfect.

United StatesWe loved our stay and hope to return again.
El Monte Sagrado is a stunningly beautiful retreat that seamlessly blends nature with architecture, creating a truly immersive sensory experience. We stayed in one of their two-bedroom Adobe cottages, which was tastefully decorated with Japanese-inspired artistic touches and featured a private fenced patio—perfect for relaxing in privacy. The on-site restaurant and room service were exceptional. Standout dishes included the chile relleno and blue corn tacos, both of which were absolutely delicious. The complimentary shuttle service to Taos Pueblo and other local destinations was a great convenience. Our valet, Brian, went above and beyond—offering excellent local dining recommendations and even calling ahead to the Pueblo to confirm it was open. He also kindly took us to a nearby shop so I could purchase a swimsuit for a dip in the hotel’s saltwater pool. The spa experience was delightful. My husband and I enjoyed massages, though we were disappointed to learn—after our treatments—that access to the steam and dry saunas was included. It would have been wonderful to take advantage of those amenities had we been informed beforehand. While the property has undeniable charm, it’s clear that parts of the facility are in need of maintenance. A fresh coat of paint and some thoughtful care could go a long way in restoring its full splendor. Some of the staff appeared inexperienced for a resort of this caliber, but they were consistently warm, friendly, and eager to help. Despite a few shortcomings, we’re already looking forward to returning—next time with our adult children. El Monte Sagrado is a uniquely elegant destination, ideal for adults seeking a rich, immersive, and tranquil escape.

United StatesSerene and gorgeous property -- it felt exactly like I hoped Taos would feel. The room was a bit luxurious with a nice patio, and dog friendly too. Staff were all exceptionally welcoming and helpful. Marvelous cocktails at the Anaconda Bar. Prime location; walkable to downtown but still feels secluded and woodsy. Beautiful saltwater pool. Great value. This place gets everything right.
