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...).

Everything. The rooms were big and the bed and facilities super comfy. The place was super clean. The bed and pillows were comfortable and all the details were well taken care of. The owner was super sweat and organized, they contacted us to scheduled transportation from the airport before arriving and she made good suggestions for the tours and moving around. The breakfast was also quite good and they even provided a breakfast box for the day we left. It’s two blocks away from the Main Street and quite close to the Darwin Foundation Station. Highly recommended.

Breakfast was almost too efficient, if you prefer to take time before eating cooked elements I’m sure if you ask this will be OK.
The hostess was very welcoming, shared lots of information and provided great trip ideas. The room was spotless and spacious. When going to the local beach, towels were provided which was a nice touch.

The accommodations exceed all expectations as do the staff. Immaculate, aesthetically pleasing, comfortable and very quiet with many small touches that make for an excellent stay. Fabulous breakfasts, Ample electrical plugs well-situated, hooks in the bathroom, great water pressure, hot water, hammock and drying rack on private deck. Don’t consider staying anywhere else. It’s a 3-5 minute walk into the center of town, so you are in a central location without the noise. Helpful, warm, communicative and genuine. Joceline can also help you get set up with excellent guides for excursions.

A good thing to know is that taxis in Porto Ayora only cost $2 per trip. So even though the hotel is a 10 minute walk to the ferry pier, just take a taxi.
Loved Galápagos Suites. The room was bright, large and spotlessly clean. Every detail in the room has been thoroughly addressed and worked perfectly. This was the cleanest property I’ve ever stayed in, both the room and common areas. Breakfast was very good. During our stay, the owner was away and her wonderful sister did an amazing job of operating the hotel.

There was a step up from the bedroom to the bathroom, we had to be careful. Maybe all hotel rooms are like that in this country, I don't know.
The breakfast was exceptional and healthy with Josi serving us different fruits and juices each morning. Breakfast times were flexible to meet our needs and they always arranged taxis for us to get to our excursions on time. Our group had four rooms and they were large, clean, bright and always quiet. The air conditioning was easy to adjust.

As you leave the bus(y)ness of Puerto Ayora, you enter this beautiful oasis called Hotel Galapagos Suites. Joseline and her daughter have built this special place with love. This is my second time visiting here and, this time, my partner and I stayed for a week. Our room was large, spotlessly clean and had everything you needed. Breakfasts made by either Joseline or Douglas, in the tranquility of the garden, were a wonderful treat. The hotel team goes the extra mile (and more) to make reservations and recommendations to make your visit memorable. I have stayed in countless B&B’s, Inns, hotels etc throughout my travels and this place is in my Top 3 in the world. I would love to come back and stay a third time. This place is magical and has left us with wonderful memories again. Thanks!!!!
