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...).

There is also a restaurant on side. The owners are really friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay there again when back in Banos.

La Posada del Arte is in a great location in Baños. The gardens are beautiful and the room was very comfortable. It was chilly and the staff helped us make a fire in the wood stove. We came to Baños a day early and the host tried to find us another place to stay because his hotel was booked. Food in the restaurant was excellent. Breakfast is included. I wish I could have spent more time there.

AustraliaI wasn’t aware that there was going to be planned power outages in the town/country while I was staying. Outside the property’s control but information would have been useful.
Really comfortable and enjoyable stay. Hosts were very accomodating and organised a hire bike for me, laundry service and some very timely travel advice. Really liked the fact that they had filtered drinking water available. Breakfasts were tasty and very substantial.

AustraliaReally pretty hotel, I loved the decor, the peace and quiet and the proximity to the thermal baths. Staff were all friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, breakfasts were large and tasty, bed was super comfortable and shower had hot water and good pressure. Being able to book activities through reception was great as it didn't cost any extra, I avoided the hustle of the tour offices in town, and they included pickup from the hotel.

United StatesA few minor things. The rooms are on the 2nd and 3rd floors. No elevator. Narrow stairways, but the owner carried my bag up to my room for me. The wood floors creaked loudly in the rooms and hallways. The Wi-Fi worked great when I was alone in the hotel; otherwise, it was sometimes spotty. No heater or A/C, but they're really not needed in Baños. The room was a little stuffy if the windows were kept closed.
This is a charming hotel near the Cascada de Virgin. Fantastic value for a humble room in a colorful, artsy hotel with a cozy, yet sophisticated ambience. Warm tones and lighting inside and outside. The lobby features a sitting area with a fireplace. Another sitting area was outside in the garden. The owner and staff are very friendly and helpful. I had a single room on the 2nd floor facing the waterfall. I could hear its soothing cascades even when the windows were closed. At night, I left the drapes open so that I could see the colors change with the lighting. In the early mornings, the closed drapes blocked the light well. During the day, I pinned back the drapes and opened the windows for some fresh air. My room had a small balcony with a comfortable hammock. The free breakfast was very good. Juice, coffee, omelette or scrambled eggs or pancakes, fresh warm breads and cheese. No mini fridge in the room, but the restaurant was open all day. Guests could add snacks and meals to the hotel bill and pay at checkout. Parking was available on the street. Quiet and safe street & neighborhood. A few blocks' walk to the church, restaurants, and bars. I enjoyed it here so much, I changed my plans and stayed an extra day!

United StatesWhat's not to like about a place this special and unique?
Every aspect of this place is incredible! It is located in a quieter corner of town right below the prominent waterfall and next to the hot baths. A wonderful international couple runs the place, and they are very friendly. The art throughout the building and grounds make it an extraordinary experience. Do not miss the rooftop terrace. Wonderful breakfast options. Also, something uncommon and Ecuador- wonderful pillows! Close walking distance to countless restaurants.

SwitzerlandThe hostel is located right next to the waterfall and thermal baths at the edge of town, which is nice and quiet. It’s only about a 15min walk from the bus station, and less than that to get to all the restaurants, bars, and shops. The staff are nice and helped us plan our time in Banos, including recommending an agency that could rent us good quality bikes for the waterfall route. We also enjoyed our breakfast. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Great location given its proximity to the waterfall in town (+ situated on a quiet street). Strong wifi. Hot shower. Good breakfast. Very friendly and helpful staff.

United StatesI would have liked a chair. For unclear reasons, my back has been unhappy lately and I would have liked a comfortable chair.
Excellent breakfast- very filling. The best part was that it’s at the end of town, near the falls and very near the termales. One can just walk on over very easily and jump right into that wonderful water. Also, despite what one has been hearing about the security in Ecuador lately, there wasn’t even a hint of any of that. The town felt very safe and easy to walk around in the evening.
