Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomWe requested a seaview room for 3 ladies staying toghether. The Tropic Bird room with the extra bed was very spacious, with it's own balcony. A very convenient location with it's own dock, so very easy to get a water taxi ($1) into town. Roof top viewing, so we could wave off our intrepid sailors. Dining room right on the water, breakfast was delicious with at least 3 varied choices. Evening meal was also delicious. An easy walk to La Crevitas. The Finch Bay Resort and small beach is a 5 min walk. The Friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable staff. Who also organized our assisted transfer to the airport.

United KingdomLiked everything!
We were so glad we booked this hotel. It was absolutely stunning. We were in the Southern Cross room at the top of the hotel, and it was gorgeous. Views on two sides of the harbour/sea/town, spacious and everything you need. The restaurant next to the water was really lovely, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend splashing out for the best rooms.

United States of AmericaAwesome location and amazing staff. From our server, Coral, who was great and so very kind to our concierge who was most friendly and extremely helpful, he arranged for our airport transportation and was on top of everything to make sure we were well accomodated. Also, our driver from the airport, Tobirio, was very nice and attentive. The food served by the restaurant was one of the best in the island, nice quality and so fresh, same goes for the drinks. I loved the location because you can only get there by a short boat ride which gives you a nice separation from the busy island.

The location was as good as it gets. The staff was amazing. The food was great. The breakfasts were "OK". The biggest drawback was the internet. It was basically useless. We were told that it is the same all over the Galapagos. However, we did find a hotel that the internet was consistently excellent. If wifi is not important this is a great choice.

Absolutely loved this hotel, from catching a water taxi to their own pier, to allowing a free late checkout and with a room and restaurant both with water views. It felt like an experience and a world away from the main town (although it’s only a couple of mins in a water taxi).

CanadaThe bathrooms are a little small and dated, a few cracked tiles etc.
The restaurant patio is stunning - so beautiful to sit by the water and watch the boats in the harbour and the frigate birds overhead. There's a short walk to a quiet cove beach with great swimming. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, although the bathrooms are a bit dated. The staff went above and beyond to be friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful stay, I highly recommend the hotel.

United States of AmericaYou only can reach it by water taxi, so if you have certain mobility issues, that may make access more difficult.
Excellent location, very quiet, just a short walk from Las Grietas. The staff is wonderful doing everything they can to make your stay comfortable and feel very welcome. Breakfast is outstanding. We stayed here short notice because our cruise was cancelled due to an accident and we had to make quick alternative plans. One of the hotel managers organized a snorkeling and fishing tour to Daphne, which was outstanding.

PanamaThe hotel is listed with 5 stars and that is why we booked. Upon arrival the disappointment, the rooms had, if at all, the equipment of a 3 star hotel. We got another room as the first room was very small with a queen size bed. The alternative was a larger room with king size bed. But unfortunately it was enormously noisy from 6:00 am to 11:00 pm because of the neighboring restaurant kitchen and it smelled of frying oil and sometimes burnt food. Our clothes in the room smelled like kitchen. The hotel is overpriced and outdated. The poor cleanliness of the inventory (curtains etc) does not match a 5 star hotel. You can reach the hotel only by water taxi and thus can reach the restaurants and stores only awkwardly.
It was right by the sea - but it is not a beach … more or less a station for Water taxis. The staff was friendly. The view was good. Nice Restaurant.
