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 think the only breakfast feedback is that some of the pastries didn’t stay fresh in the heat, but that is minor. Rooms could use a little updating. WiFi was a bit weak, which would be an issue if we needed to work, but we were taking a vacation from that too.
Breakfast was great! We liked that the rooms had a sense of privacy. Kids loved the pool and the cheeseburgers.

CroatiaPool is crowded in the afternoon, also should be bigger. Dont Like people drinking in the pool and bar in the pool. Only few sun umbrellas, not enough for that big hotel. Food is really expensive.
Location is the best. Nature is extraordinary. View of the Volcano is unbeatable.

United StatesVery little places to put clothes so we all had to live out of our suitcases as no dresser/drawers for folded clothes.
Beautiful property with amazing views of the volcano. Breakfast was exceptional. Wide variety of choices from omelettes to cereal to fruit and local specialties. Pool and hot springs were wonderful after a long day of exploring. Room was very nice with fridge, coffee maker, complimentary 4 water bottles and bathroom/shower supplies.

United StatesWe had a weird party smell coming from our bathroom that made it a bit uncomfortable. The staff tried to address it with air fresheners, but it didn't fully address the problem.
Although we were not able to enjoy the view of the mountains because of the rain and crowd, the property itself was beautiful and cosy. The sound and view of the birds made it feel like you were staying in the rainforest.

United StatesBeautiful grounds. Our room had a private garden and view of the volcano with our family nearby in the room next door. Delicious breakfast buffet with fresh fruit and omelette bar. We loved the pool with a swim up bar (great swim area for my 1.5 year old son). They made fresh fruit drinks with whatever they had on hand (watermelon, passion fruit, even apple for my son). The shuttle driver took us to see a sloth on the property and let us look / take pics through his binoculars. Pura vida!

United StatesThe bed was a bit soft for me.
I can't say enough good things about this resort. The property was gorgeous; I felt like I was staying in a botanical garden and bird sanctuary. Each duplex is private with a perfect view of the volcano. Both pools were beautiful. Quiet, relaxed and peaceful surroundings. I wish I could have stayed longer. Breakfast was also fantastic; so many food choices and all were delicious. An employee pointed out a toucan to me, got a pair of binoculars from his van, and video taped it on my phone through his binoculars.

United StatesDinner service was a bit slow in the restaurant. It took over an hour to receive food. This isn’t a fault of the resort, but cabs to and from the resort to local venues are expensive. Ubers are unreliable in the area.
We enjoyed a spacious room with a beautiful porch and private landscaped gardens. The gardens are filled with wildlife. We saw humming birds everywhere and several tree frogs. We could hear monkeys as well. The layout of the resort makes each room feel very exclusive. The hot springs are great with a swim up bar and nice happy hour. Breakfast is an expansive buffet that is delicious.

BelgiumMain Restaurant expensive, fancy looking but for this price the quality of the food was not good enough. Costa Rica has so good coffee but at breakfast you only get some american style coffee. For europeans and coffee lovers this is not ok :) some special coffee like espresso or cappuccino is not included in breakfast and costs 5$..
