Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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 StatesThe hotel is called Galapagos House on the TCT permit system, not Acacia. Would have been good to know that when we booked so we didn't have to call to find out about it when we were applying for the permit.
Excellent location and very warm and welcoming staff who gave excellent local recommendations too. The breakfast was great and the availability of filtered water on the floor was a great plus too.

NetherlandsThe pool and breakfast areas could use some nicer decorations or maybe a hedge to make it more private. Wifi on the top floor is very poor if working at all.
Spacious room with comfortable beds. Clean. Very good breakfast even if it’s a set menu. Very flexible with early check in and late check out. Great service overall.

IrelandTwo evenings during our stay, the pool and jacuzzi was taken over by a group of Americans, who got louder as the evening went on. We couldn’t read on our balcony as they were very loud. There were bottles and glasses all over the pool area and no one else could use the pool from 4.00pm onwards as there really wasn’t space for anyone else. The staff should have made sure that others could use the pool and also made sure the space was cleared of bottles etc.
We were welcomed with a cold juice and an iced cloth which was very welcome as we were hot and sweaty after disembarking the afternoon ferry from Isabela. Breakfast menu changed every morning. Lovely airy rooms, good air con and comfortable bed and pillows. Well maintained.

United StatesThe street itself the hotel is on is very quiet which is good because the wall is mostly made of windows so when the diving center next door loads up equipment you hear it early in the morning. This didn't really matter because there are so many early tours/activities that you are getting up early anyway. Just something to know.
Hotel Acacia exceeded our expectations. The rooms were very clean, had high ceilings, & were beautifully decorated. We had water bottles available to us during our stay & a fridge in the room. The air conditioning was strong & nice (ceiling fans were available above both beds). The beds were comfortable with nice pillows & were large (2 king beds). We really appreciated the blackout shades to make the room dark & having a balcony to dry clothes was helpful. The bathrobes for each guest were a nice touch. The lounge area on the first & second floors were nice added features. The staff were very friendly. Jose & the manager especially. The breakfast available every morning was fantastic. We enjoyed our stay & would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a nice hotel & wanting easy access to the downtown harbor area. This hotel was a great value & is a great alternative for those looking for a great hotel that isn't as pricey as Finch Bay. We had a very enjoyable stay & I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

EcuadorI loved the pool at the hotel, but I wish the water would be filtered out more so the bugs and daily grime would be at a minimum.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff were friendly, helpful, and very attentive to our needs. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the location is perfect (just a few minutes walk away from great restaurants and shops). If I ever come back to Santa Cruz, I will always want to stay here.

Like most hotels in the town this hotel appears to be built on the plot of a house. But it’s well laid out with rooms on 3 levels. The rooms are comfortable and clean with en-suites. All the staff were very helpful and accommodating and arranged packed breakfasts for us on early starts. Special mention to Jose Miguel who communicated with us before and during our stay with watsapp and was very helpful. A great place to stay to explore the town and islands.

Acacia is an excellent hotel. Beautiful room with a balcony. It costs a little more than the standard room, and it is worth it. We needed help to find medical help and the people in the hotel were so helpful. They made us feel at home!! Good breakfast and very good location as well. Highly recommended.
