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.).

HondurasThe cabins have great space, the A/C works fine, but it takes a while to cool the room, so probably bigger A/Cs could do better. No pools at the property but there are plenty of thermal pools just a few minutes on road. Beware of insects, so keep your doors and windows closed.
This place has one of the best view right in front of the Volcano Arenal! The rooms are cabins, so you enjoy an authentic experience with nature. Breakfast was great, you can enjoy a typical costarican breakfast or the american breakfast, food is prepared at the moment so everything is fresh and delicious.

SpainA must stay, what a view of the volcano! Amazing experience during our stay on Arenal Roca Lodge, mainly thanks to Cesar and Henry, the guard from the place. Cesar made everything easy and gave us recommendations of places to eat and activities to do during our stay. Henry so kindly showed us the animals around like the red eye frog, time and sand yellow frog, Martin pescador bird and many more, that plus his explanations were super interesting! The breakfast was delightful and the service too. Truly a must stay. Will recommend and will definitely stay again when we come back.

Czech RepublicIt should be nice to have the refrigerator on the room.
The highest benefits of these accommodation is definitely the location and the amazing view from the window. Is it better to stay at the edge of La Fortuna, because the town is very rush and traffic. The cottage was very clean, spacious and comfortable, the staff was helpful, the breakfast was inventive and very good. The air-conditioner worked very well. When you are traveling by car, is it possible to park in the grounds.

United KingdomThe dining area doesn’t have a view and doesn’t fit with the overall aesthetic of the property.. Massive shame as it would really add value to the property! And maybe build a swimming pool or thermal spa as well with a view on the volcano

United StatesThe room was very large and spacious. It had huge windows that looked out. The breakfast was really good. They gave you a choice and everything was fresh. The man at reception, Caesar was really helpful. At night, he took us across the street and was showing us some night frogs and reptiles. We saw birds. He really went over and above his duties. He also got me a discount to go canyoning the next day. I am really satisfied with this hotel/company .

United KingdomThe room is extremely humid but this is certainly due to the area. The room is not well insulated so you can hear the cars passing by. Nothing is reachable by foot. You'll need a car to go basically anywhere.
The view from the room is amazing. Lots of hummingbird just in front of the room. Breakfast was really good. Comfortable bed. The staff was really nice and helpful.

BelgiumThe first row of bungalows is next to the road and very noisy. At night between 9pm and 6pm it is bearable but if you are sensitive to noise, ask for the further away bungalows
Location is great, superb view, excellent breakfast pinto gallo ! Friendly and helpful staff. Clean, comfortable and large bungalows and very good prices.

These lodges are amazing value! The location and views are excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful, providing us with a packed breakfast on our first morning as we were leaving early for ziplining. The next breakfast was freshly cooked with options to suit everyone. Our chalet was a little dated but really large, clean and well furnished.

United KingdomThe only thing that I didn’t like was the fact we were only given 3 coffee pouches to last 2 days, then had to pay a dollar for every extra one. Only a tiny thing, but it felt just a bit mean. Most places replenish the coffee tray each day. The rest was brilliant and would definitely go back, or recommend.
The view was stunning, great location as not too close to la Fortuna good breakfast and lovely staff.
