Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

United States of AmericaWe loved everything- we wish we could’ve stayed longer
They make you feel like family here. It’s in such a beautiful location, the property is fantastic, but the best thing about this guest house is getting to be a part of their family. Such kind and understanding people. We ended up getting delayed coming to Ecuador which caused so much stress. They worked with us and welcomed us with open arms. I cant thank them enough for being so kind to us when it felt like everything just kept going wrong. They were so wonderful with our 1 year old son. The breakfast is fantastic. Some of the best food in all of Ecuador! I cant say enough great things about this place. This is 100% the place to stay if ever in banos. Thank you johan for everything. We left with such full hearts.

I had a fantastic stay at La Casa Verde, and would happily return again. The location is very relaxing, next to the river about 25 minutes’ walk (or a $1.50/2 USD taxi) from the centre of Baños, and there is plenty of communal space to chill around. Johan was a brilliant host- he helped to book tours (without commission), and was always available for any questions. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Thank you again!

United KingdomIt was out of town ( but we chose that for some quiet) but not in the countryside. But easy enough to get to the centre about 20 minutes walk or easy $1.5 taxi ride.
The breakfast was the best we had in Ecuador. Lots of fresh fruit yogurt and juice and homemade goodies. And we had a room with a balcony with a lovely view where we could just chill. Nothing was too much trouble for our host.

United KingdomJohan told us he is going to provide keys for the lock securing the front gate which will help make it easier to leave and enter without having to ask which will be an enhancement to what is already positively described in the "Rough Guide to Ecuador & Galapagos" as a relaxing eco retreat. Check it out:)
We extended our stay at La Casa Verde to 6 nights due to my friend becoming ill prior to arriving there - Johan the owner was so so helpful in taking us to a local clinic for tests and translating for us which was invaluable - once better nothing was too much trouble for him in taking time to tell us about how best to explore the local area which really helped. There is a really nice vibe at La Casa Verde with an eco focus - there is a decked area under cover overlooking a fantastic garden and river below, just so peaceful. Finally the breakfast was amazing including freshly prepared fruit / yoghurt and home made juice, bread, pancakes etc. together with cooked eggs and local dishes which set us up for the day. Thank you so much Johan!

CanadaDelicious breakfast. Johan was very helpful in helping us pick activities and restaurants. He helped me solve a problem with our next hotel and with my phone as well. The location was awesome as it was fairly quiet (we stayed in Banos during a festival so there was some parties near by but more quiet than staying closer to the town’s center) and the view of the river was beautiful.

Johan was an excellent host. Always available to give tour advice. When we wanted to cycle, bikes were delivered within 15 minutes. When we needed a driver or guide he would fix it for us. Breakfast was always excellent and varied. The location was out of the centre but only a short taxi ride away. There were stunning views of the valley from the balcony. A good, calm location. It was also only a short walk from an excellent spa and a good restaurant.

New ZealandA great place to call home while you visit Baños. It's just outside of town, assuring you have quiet away from the busy and close enough for a 10 minute walk or a short cheap taxi ride. The home makde breakfast every morning was yummy and filling. Johan booked all our activities making exploring Banòs very easy and hassle-free.

The guest house is beautiful. You have a lovely view over the river. It's a bit out of Baños (about 20-25min walk) but because of that, you have a super quiet place. Johan is amazing and very helpful with everything, arranging trips if you want. And don't get me started about the breakfast: amazing! Beds are good, warm shower, towels, soap, everything is there.

United States of AmericaOur stay here was absolutely incredible. So much so that we even ended up extending our stay. The location is wonderful, it’s close to Baños but far enough away to be a tranquil getaway. The flowing river was a beautiful background that lulled us to sleep every night. The room had a wonderful balcony with a hammock for relaxing. Breakfasts were enormous and absolutely delicious. It was so magical and wonderful. Johan and his family run the hotel and they are extremely kind people. Johan works so hard to help in any way that he can with our stay. He helped us make decisions for our plans and guide us along the way. With his help we were able to plan safe excursions and those that were completely tailored to us! We changed our plans throughout thanks to his recommendations and had an incredible time. Without his assistance, our holiday would have been much different. The thoughtfulness is truly incredible. I absolutely couldn’t be any happier with our stay. It was amazing. Thank you!
