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.).

United KingdomAs others reported, there is a bit of road noise, but honestly it didn't really bother me at all (but I only stayed for 1 night). Perhaps could have done with more regular skimming of the pool to remove the floating debri/insects.
Service at reception and the bar/restaurant was great. The room was spacious and comfortable. The lock on the door wasn't working properly to begin with but after I reported it, it was fixed very quickly. Food in the restaurant was good quality. The included breakfast was good. The pool table was a nice addition. The swimming pool was nice (not too cold), but you do get a bit of debri off the sourrounding vegetation, but that is hard to keep on top off all the time. I Uber'd to here from San Jose downtown with no problem.

United KingdomThe pool closed at 6pm, and was full of kids for the last hour so we didn't get to use it. Adults travelling solo would appreciate a later dip when the kids are eating. :) Noisy road nearby, bring earplugs. No kettle in the room.
A good little place to stopover before a flight from San Jose. Nice leafy grounds (we saw an armadillo) and pretty old buildings. Comfortable room with a good bed and bedding. Nice hotel restaurant with friendly staff.

United StatesI absolutely love this property! It is not far from the airport, 20 minutes or so, but it feels like you are in the jungle! The grounds are lovely, full of tress, flowers, and wildlife. The beds, linens and pillows are superb. The rooms are immaculate. The Pandora restaurant on site is delicious, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. The free breakfast is quite tasty as well, and I appreciate that they will pack a to go breakfast for early departures. It can be a tad pricey for the area, but the landscape and the beds make it worth every colón! This is my go to spot for arrivals and departures in the country, immediately immersed in nature and clinging to every moment of it before leaving.

United KingdomWe used this hotel on the nights we arrived and left Costa Rica. As we were going to the west (Cloud Forest and Pacific Coast) so it was on the right side of the airport for us. Just what we needed, decent clean rooms, very helpful staff, good food and at a fair price. They provided good advice around hire cars/ ubers etc so just what you need for a first time visitor

United StatesThere is absolutely nothing negative I could say about this hotel.
This boutique hotel is a true hidden gem in San Jose! Nestled in lush jungle surroundings, it feels more like a secluded retreat than a city hotel, yet it's conveniently located just 15 minutes from SJO airport. It's the perfect spot for us to conclude a long trip to Costa Rica. Our room is immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and features wonderfully effective AC and a delightful hot shower. Dining at the on-site restaurant was a highlight, with some of the best food we've tasted in Costa Rica. All staff is incredibly kind and attentive, enhancing our stay with their unique touch. This place is simply unique — a must-experience to truly appreciate its charm!

United KingdomWe went down to breakfast just after 7 but our food didn’t arrive until nearly 8 - which would have been a problem had we been rushing off. The hotel ordered us a taxi to the airport and one of the seat belts didn’t work.
The rooms were lovely and spacious, very hot shower in the bathroom. The pool and onsite trails were a great bonus, and we appreciated the ease of having a restaurant onsite.
