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.).

CanadaNothing, just perfect.
WOW!!! Just amazing!!! The host family is the kindest and extremely generous. There is currently one cabine (very clean and comfortable; 2 more cabins to be built in the future), a garden with a lot of fruit trees and medicinal plants, a small archeological museum, and a dining area beside a river with wildlife. The breakfast with local food was delicious and generous, and we could see toucans just beside. The family shared a lot of information with us about the area and their plantation. Again, just WOW!

LithuaniaA small comfortable house in nature but close to La Fortuna. By the small river, where monkeys shout, toucans and macaws are perched in the trees, turkeys are having breakfast, hummingbirds are making their nests in the garden. While sitting and drinking coffee in the terrace of the house, hummingbirds and various birds are constantly fly and chirp among the trees and flowers. Friendly and kind hosts, great breakfast. Wonderful time spent.

United KingdomDelightful small b&b (it has just one room!), managed by a very welcoming family. If you have basic Spanish, ask Alan to introduce you to the local flora and fauna. You will also have the opportunity to eat the fantastic breakfast cooked every day fresh for you by his wife while looking at birds. The room is large, very clean, and it has a TV with Netflix, which we enjoyed in the evening when it was dark early. The place is a 20-minute (not particularly nice) walk from the village, but it is very cheap to get an Uber or a taxi, so we did not have any problems with that. In fact, we loved not being in La Fortuna, which is not a particularly attractive village, but in the countryside, close to a small rio and a patch of forest. However, if you have a light sleep, mind that it can get noisy at night, as there are many dogs in the area.

United Kingdom+ We really appreciated the flexibility of the owner and his son. In order for us to make an early start every day, they adjusted the time of breakfast quite substantially. + Our expectations of the aparment were high based on the pictures and we were definitely not let down. The room is very good size, nicely decorated, finished to perfection. Sufficient storage space is a big plus. + The apartment is surrounded by a lush garden.

United StatesIt is currently very small (just the one cabana so far, which has the advantage of feeling more like an airbnb than a hotel) and can be hard to find, though Allan has plans of adding more cabanas so I think it's recognizability will grow. There is no immediate front desk service; Allan and his family live off-site, but he is generally available by what's app. Be sure to communicate your arrival time so that you can coordinate check-in accordingly. He also does not speak much English, but he is very patient and friendly even if you don't know Spanish; we knew just enough to get by, and still had some very pleasant conversations with him (he loves to talk!), but I imagine this could throw some travelers off.
The room itself was by far the nicest, most comfortable room we had during our trip to Costa Rica. The beds were comfortable, the design was pleasant, the shower got nice and hot, the wifi is great (there is even a large smart TV with Netflix), and the grounds are beautiful. Allan, the host, was extremely friendly and amenable, even when we needed breakfast at 4:30am. The breakfast was delicious, made by Allan and his son. He was also able to arrange a private taxi service to the SJO airport for cheaper than we had found elsewhere, and it was his other son who drove us; he was also very friendly and delightful to talk to, even with our limited Spanish. And Allan mailed our postcards for us!

CanadaThe synthetic material of the bedding. Cotton sheets and a quilt would make for a more comfortable sleep.
Allan and his family were excellent hosts. They prepared us a generous breakfast each morning and were nice to chat with. The room was very clean. The property is a few kilometres outside of town but it wasn’t bad to walk in and the proximity to the El Salto rope swing is nice.
