How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewSuper quiet stay with very friendly staff for check in and breakfast, good breakfast, clean with all basic amenities.
A little basic considering the price. No help available or offered on getting around etc, despite other reviews suggesting there would be.

Verified reviewNice garden.
Value for money is just off here. For a budget option this would be ok. In our room not even the main light was working and the mosquito net was broken. The showers are super small with no water pressure.
Hi Rafael, Thanks for your comments and sorry to hear that you had such a dreadful experience at our Secret Garden. If only you had reported the faults to the staff these problems would have been resolved instantly. Kind regards Noël

Verified reviewThe staff are among the nicest and most helpful people that I've encountered in a hotel. Soledad is skilled at anticipating one's needs and has answers and suggestions if needed. She always offered a late checkout. For me, the location is convenient. There is a bus stop nearby for the Rio Uruguay bus to the Iguazu National Park. I loved the small size of the property and will be happy to return.

Verified reviewA rustic place tucked away from the centre of Iguazu. This isn't chrome, tile and new fittings and fixtures. It is quaint and harkens back to a simpler almost colonial feel without any pomposity. Staff are lovely and the breakfast overlooking the back garden area is a perfect start for the walking which should be done to really experience both sides of the magnificent falls.

Verified reviewBear in mind that this is a small bed and breakfast, I think only 2-3 units. The proprietor is a one woman-show, checking me in and also making lovely breakfasts each morning. She was very sweet and conscientious, showing me the unit where she lives so that I could find her if I needed anything. The location is on a quiet street, a very short walk to a few restaurant options and grocery stores. As a solo female traveler, I felt safe walking around at night to and from my accommodation.
The accommodations were a bit more rustic than I was expecting, however the room was clean and I had the things that I needed. The walls between units don't offer much sound-proofing, and I could hear a lot of noise from the family staying next door, but fortunately they didn't stay up late.

Verified reviewWe felt so looked after here - the ladies were absolutely lovely and made a fab breakfast on both mornings. Delicious cocktails too! They advised us to walk a short way to go to the Main Street of bars/restaurants which was nice, but there’s also a couple of options close by too for when you’re tired after the falls. Great accommodation and was perfect for 2 friends.

Verified reviewIt truly is a Secret Garden tucked away in the middle of an average neighborhood with lots of lush plants and a nice little sitting area in front of our room. The host, Solidad did a nice job of making us feel comfortable. The welcome drink and snack was much appreciated. Breakfast was basic but good. She helped us get a taxi when our Uber did not show up. All in all a wonderful hostess. 
For some reason, the water did not work in the morning and we were stuck in the shower was soap on our hair. Also, the bed could’ve been much more comfortable.

Verified reviewThe staff was very friendly and helpful and there it ends.
The whole property has seen better times. I would say it needs a lot of TLC. It certainly wasn’t worth the money we paid for the accommodation. We could have stayed at a nice 4 star hotel for less money. We know because we tried to find alternative accommodation but unfortunately there was no availability.

Verified reviewThe staff were so friendly and accommodating especially Soledad, even though we spoke no Spanish ... we translated through an app. We arrived early and they looked after us until our room was ready. They organised a packed breakfast when we said we had an early morning pick up for our trip to Iguazu Falls. Noel was always quick to respond when I asked questions through Booking.com. The location was two minutes walk to the supermarket, 5 minutes to some restaurants and 15 minutes to more recommended restaurants. About 15-20 minutes drive to the Iguazu National Park. Room was big, shower hot and powerful, heating in the room, a lovely homey feel. Don't be fooled by the blue gate when you first arrive. It opens out into a little forest paradise. It was great for our needs.
