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...).

Nothing, this place is perfect.
Everything. It is super close to the airport so was perfect for me after a flight and for only one night in Quito. The place is peaceful and quiet with pleasant interior and beautiful yard, great breakfest and great host. Loved the free tea and coffee as well, this is a home away from home.

The distance from Quito was a tad far. Fortunately, we had prearranged full day tours for our stay. No close by eating establishments.
We like the quaintness of the family owned hostel. We arrived later than planned on December 31st, and the owner responded quickly to our arrival. We were able to join the New Year Eve festivities and dinner. The best!

You can sometimes hear the airplanes fly over but with earplugs this is no problem.
It is very close by the airport (5-10 min by taxi) so we stayed both times we had to fly in and out of quito. The hotel is beautiful with a big garden an pool. The owner is very friendly and cooks a delicious dinner for only 10 dollars if you ask. Also the hotelgarden is walled off so it feels very safe.

the garden looks a bit neglected and the furnishings do not seem to fit with the rest of the beautiful building. To be fair, it was very dry everywhere, no rain for several weeks.
Breakfast consisted of coffee, fruit juice, scrambled eggs, a mixture of really fresh fruit pieces and toasted bread with butter and jam. Gives you a good start into the day. The personal was very friendly, accommodating and helpful. The location is very quiet, but just a short walk from the park and some restaurants.

The staff were very friendly and helpful and the hostel had a relaxed atmosphere. The rooms were basic but clean and functional. Breakfast was nice. The hostel was well located for the airport, being about 15 mins away and a $10 to 20 ride depending on whether you use Uber or a taxi. It is about a 40 min ride from the centre of Quito, but that is only $10 by Uber at a non-peak time.

There is no ramp to transport the luggage to the room if you are in the back rooms. But the hotel reception will help transport the luggage. (Not a negative)
They were able to accommodate a late check-in and early check-out. I appreciated that they set up and scheduled a taxi to pick us up early in the morning to go to the airport. The room was adequate for the price and included good amenities. I greatly appreciated that the hotel reception gave us a packed breakfast!! So unexpected but a wonderful touch.
