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.).

CanadaThe room we stayed at was right behind the reception area and there are some noise during the day.
All the facilities are amazing. There is a new pool and garden behind the hotel. The view from the breakfast/restaurant can see the Arenal volcano and there are toucans and other birds in the morning eating from the bird feeder. The staff were very helpful with booking tours, answering questions about transportation.

Fantastic views from the restaurant, we had amazing birds at breakfast including toucans, with the Arenal volcano as a backdrop. The staff were very friendly and accommodation particularly John at reception who helped us with our room, and José who was funny. We had a brilliant time with Armando on his sloth watching tour: highly recommend, and we saw at least 14 sloths, some with babies. He also took us round the garden in the evening to find the red eyed green frog. The food in the restaurant was also good for breakfast and dinner.

United StatesThe walls were a bit thin and we got unlucky with consistently loud neighbors. Earplugs were a necessity.
Absolutely gorgeous property with more improvements in the works. So much wildlife around, including lizards and birds. The pond and the pool are comfortable areas to spend time. Amazing views of Arenal and easily walkable to anywhere in La Fortuna. Comfortable, large, well-equipped rooms and a delicious breakfast available for a good price. Our room was upgraded to one of the large, upper floor rooms in the annex building that had a kitchenette and a direct view of the mountain. Would stay again without hesitation.

CanadaDid not jump in the pool, so cannot comment on it. Good common area around it though. We are early risers so breakfast starting at 7 is a bit late for us.
Excellent location, fantastic bird and wildlife viewing from the restaurant patio, good included breakfast, well appointed rooms albeit a bit dated. Great coffee. Enjoyed other meals at the restaurant. Excellent tour suggestions, free ice.

United KingdomThe beds are slightly hard, but really there was nothing we didn't like here.
We had a great stay here. The location is perfect, giving excellent views and a feeling of being immersed in nature, while still being only 5 minutes walk from the town. Our room was big and had everything we expected in it. The best thing about this place are the staff, everyone was so helpful and friendly, they gave us so much advice and booked transport and trips (at a better price than going direct). The sloth tour with Armando was an absolute highlight - we saw 26 sloths! The restaurant is also very good and we enjoyed a nice meal one evening. The breakfast with birds is wonderful.
