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 StatesI liked mostly everything about my stay but would of liked the hotel to have a restaurant in the property. It would be helpful to have room service.
Arenal Country was great! The staff were extremely polite and very helpful. The free breakfast included fresh fruits, and local food. It’s located about a mile from the center of the town La Fortuna but it felt like we were in the middle of the rainforest because of the landscaping and were surrounded by rainforest animals and sounds.

United StatesThe bed was definitely lacking in comfort. The mattress was extremely firm, not something you could plop down on and sink into.
Stunning grounds, great private short creek trail, variety of beautiful plants, incredibly landscaped, perfect breakfast, friendly staff, helped with tours, secure room and safe, nice A/C unit. We didn’t use the pool but it looked very inviting if there wasn’t a lightning storm.

DenmarkThis place was our lifesaver after fleeing from another accommodation that was not like advertised. Our host Vanessa was amazing and helpful from the moment we tried to book our accommodation till the moment we left. We saw a lot of birds, and hummingbirds, bats and squirrels on the property, which was awesome. The pool is really nice, and the place is quiet.

Germanythere is just one thing which is not their fault at all: and this is not about the hotel. this is about other guests. so, if you come here as a guest, please guys, be a little bit kind. also to other guests. there was a couple spitting in the pool and cleaning their shoes in the pool. guys, you know, other guests want to swim in it. an other couple had their sixpack of beer in front of children at 9 in the morning at the pool. yelling, drinking, starring at people in a strange way. you are guests. behave like. be respectful. thanks.
its a nice and quiet place a little bit out of town but you can walk into town in 10 min, the pool is so nice, the staff is nice and helpful, the breakfast is okay, the rooms are cozy.

United StatesThe Wi-Fi in the room was spotty at best. The water in the shower did not keep a consistent temperature.
The grounds were beautiful with a nice pool and view of the volcano. The staff were so nice and attentive. We spent some time talking to the sweet owners who we met at the pool. They helped us see some toucans and gave an amazing dinner suggestion. The location was good. It is about a 15 minute drive to the hot springs and a 30 minute drive to Mistico hanging bridges. The room was spacious and the shower was nice and big with a curbless entry.

United StatesThe room did not have an open-air balcony - we were aware of this but missed it. There were some rooms closer to the lodge that we would have preferred.
Breakfast was included and served in the dining room. There were several choices, and it was very good. Staff was kind and efficient. We stayed in the Chalet and the view was incredible.

United StatesRooms too small for two beds, very crowded. No coffee pot in the room or a hot pot to make tea. No restaurant on the premises to buy coffee.
Very good Costarican breakfast, same as every other hotel. Lots of fruit, eggs, local sausage, pancakes, bread coffee. Well maintained grounds with lots of plants, large swimming pool. Very helpful staff. Walking distance to city center.

United Statesthe pillows on the beds are too flat. there should be 2 pillows per person to accommodate for that. there was only one set of room and front gate keys which made for some inconvenience when our party split up for different activities. also there needs to be more hooks in the room to hang things like backpacks, clothing, extra towels. accessing the electrical sockets was difficult for five people in one room.
the garden setting is beautiful! the pool is lovely and enjoyable. the breakfast area is really nice and servers are fabulous. Adriana from Reception is super helpful and informative.

United Statesrooms are very small . no place to put an open suitcase . could use more wall hooks for clothes and towels . beds were pretty firm and had plastic type mattress covers which made us sweat at night . the display on the AC remote is very hard to read . door locks were a bit of a challenge. old jalousy style windows didn’t close tight and let a lot of outside noise in.
very nice grounds and setting . great buffet style simple breakfast .

AustraliaThe rooms are nice but but basic. The beds are a bit hard. We slept well despite this as it’s very quiet at night.
The property is very clean with tropical plants surrounding the grounds. In fact, we witnessed staff cleaning and pruning plants daily. The pool is also great for those warm/sunny days. Breakfast is provided each day and although it’s basic, we really enjoyed having this available.
