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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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):
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.
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.).

EcuadorBreakfast buffet could have a little more variety in this price class. Still very good though. The listing said airport transport service was included, however it wasn't.
Really great location between the Guayaquil river promenade and the garden on one side and the Panama street restaurants on the other. I liked the rooftop pool and the view from the hotel is absolutely spectacular.

United StatesThis would only affect a small amount of people but there was not much I could eat at breakfast as a vegan. Would be nice if potatoes, avocado, granola, oatmeal, or some other non animal based options were included.
Really nice hotel. Modern rooms, large bathroom, included airport transfers and buffet breakfast. The location is perfect, right next to Malecon. Rooftop is the star- with bar, and infinity pool…excellent place to hang out.

Had a great stay at River Garden Hotel! The room size was good, the bed was super comfy, and everything was clean. The staff was really friendly, and the rooftop bar had a cool vibe. Breakfast was decent, and the view was a nice bonus. Would recommend! 👍

EcuadorPerhaps someone could check the rooms to verify everything is in place thus there is no need to call for a few things tht are needed. Might be a good idea to offer some kind of reward to people that stay for several days or weeks most of the good hotels do.
The location is excellent, price very reasonable We stayed at the hotel for several weeks. Location is ideal near to everything and great views.

United StatesWe like everything about this hotel. The only thing lacking we think is a gym, we do like to workout daily and that is not possible at this hotel yet, they say it is a work in progress and plan to add a gym in the future.
The location is excellent, we have had breakfast in the past but this time our flight was very early in the morning so they were not serving breakfast yet, breakfast is very good. The room is very large and comfortable with a large bathroom too.

The hotel facilities are new and comfortable. There is convenient and safe parking. The location is in the best area of the city, with easy walking access to all the sights. There was excellent breakfast. The view from the roof-top pool is fantastic.

Everything is exceptional. The attention in the front desk, especially Lisette. Always with a smile and attentive to your questions. She gives you recommendations so that you know places. Don Jorge at the entrance is always attentive to help you and the rest of the lobby staff are very attentive (on both turns).The rooms are super clean, comfortable. Thanks to Damaris (housekeeping) Very attentive to my needs. Thank you all for the attention you gave us.

New ZealandOnly two things were a bit of a let down. The pool hours are quite short so we couldn't use it. And the area is a bit too quiet. Not bad if visiting the riverside area, but there are very few restaurants and bars around, especially after 8pm. We struggled to find a place to eat and drink around this hotel.
Great stay here. Staff could not be nicer. Room was very nice, beds super comfy, shower great. Rooftop bar was excellent. Very recommended by us.
