How guest reviews work
Each 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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done 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 of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Because of noise coming from other rooms on the same floor I couldn't sleep too well.
The owners were very friendly and helpful. They offered a very good breakfast. The room was spacy and the fan provided the necessary coolness. Tena offers nice areas where you can enjoy nature. In the evening Tena turns into a town of lights.

Restaurant wasn't open due to covid, not their fault.
Great value! Warm water in the shower (sometimes), wifi, good location, close to the Malecon. I love that if you want a later checkout they give you the option to pay $1/hour. This was great for us as it was pouring rain and our bus didn't leave until 2 pm.

Decor was grim, very worn. Room was cell-like. Curtains need to be closed. Prison gate, yard & watch tower. My room was about 4 metres from road, wore ear plugs but it was noisy. Slept with my bag on the bed. Didn’t want to touch light switch or door handle.
Friendly host & proximity to town. Warmish shower.

The road nearby is extremely loud. Also the window is facing the yard and people were inconsiderate talking there in the middle of the night. One morning at 4-5 am, loud music was playing from somewhere near the Hostal. My sleep was horrible the three nights I was there.
Decent amenities. Location in town is good and near the park.

The shared kitchen was a disappointment. The trash container was filled to the brim with wet garbage for a number of days. It resembled a buffet for rodents.The skillets hadn't been washed and all had a film of grease on them. At least the stove worked so that I could brew my coffee in the morning. The roar of motorcycles and cars could be heard racing throughout the night.
The location was fine for the purposes of my stay. Good internet connection. Room was spacious.

Only bad thing is it's loud.....and no hot water, but that didn't matter.
The owner took care of me. I needed a taxi to a remote Amazon lodge and they didn't know how to get there. The owner talked to the taxi driver who drove me to a boat launch, the boat driver called a taxi and drove me to the other side of the Napo river and four people helped me find my lodge.

From 6am trucks and cars hauled up the road and the room was so noisy from this traffic. The kitchen was quite grim and only one hob worked out of the whole cooker. Not very well equipped.
