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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United KingdomThe hills 😂. Nothing we really didn’t like about the property to be honest
Very well thought out, felt like you had your own little bit of nature / sea view. The wildlife is amazing, made so many memories with our little boy walking around spotting sloths, monkeys, etc.

United StatesI wish there was more seating in the living room section of our casa - there is room to put something that can accommodate more than 2 people, especially when the house will sleep 6.
Loved the VIEW from and deck of our room! Was beyond anything I expected!! And Jans our concierge was exceptional, making our activities/excursions so easy - no research, no personal booking, no figuring out which is the best one, no scheduling rides - Jans took care of all of it and it was a dream that pushed our experience over the top. And the wildlife that came to our deck from the treetop canopy - every day we got our own personal close up tour: spider monkeys, capuchins, toucans, macaws, sloths, iguanas - all of it: amazing!

United StatesThe property is hilly. They have shuttles that you call and usually within 10 minutes they pick you up. The staff are great and so is the food.
It is beautiful and has lots of Costa Rican native animals and plants. Our room had a beautiful jungle view and we had monkeys, birds and sloths that we watched from our balcony. Awesome! Also one of the pools was very close to our room and again I have to say it is beautiful, temperature nice and even has a waterfall.

United StatesEverything about this place is amazing! Its a nature lover’s paradise.The whole resort is built in a tropical rainforest (it’s literally a sloth sanctuary) and has a private beach which was equipped with all the amenities such as chairs, towels, kayaks, boogie boards, food, drinks etc. The staff is incredibly helpful and accommodating. They even let us use the private beach after we checked out!! The restaurant in the resort is also really good, and has amazing views. I cannot recommend this place enough to anyone visiting costa rica!!

SwedenThe price still feels quite steep judging by the quality of the room (Tulemar Bungalow). If breakfast had been included then it would have felt more reasonable.
Lush property with animal sightings on a daily basis. Views were stunning and access to the private beach was great. Service was top notch

MexicoAn earlier check in could be nice
The property is gorgeous. The staff is extremely helpful, kind and fast. I think it is very important to note that there are many stairs and some inclined walks inside the premises. You can observe many birds, monkeys and even sloths from the terrace of the property. Restaurants are very practical and good. Pools and beach area are also excellent to come back to after excursions.

Beautiful cabin with a gorgeous view over the ocean. Lots of exotic birds and even sloths climbing around in the trees! Beautiful private beach och lots of green lush trees on the resort. The café on the resort served very tasty meals and overall the staff was very attentive and service minded.

United StatesGoogle maps does not no where this spot is! DO NOT have avoid tolls in any GPS system or you will be SOL! It took us double the time to get to property and we had to go all the way back to square one to figure it out! Also the booth agent looked at us like we were idiots when we asked to go through the gate to get to our bungalow. He tried to make us park across the street.
The resort area was amazing. Staff went above and beyond for my boyfriends birthday! the service was unmatched and the view was stellar!!

United StatesThere was not a whole lot of food options right on the property. But, we were able to find nice traditional Costa Rican food outside of the property!
My husband and I came here two nights for part of our two week honeymoon. We loved all of the staff here. Our concierge, Orlando, was so welcoming and helpful. We absolutely loved the black sand beach and actually had it to ourselves for awhile one day. David and the beach crew was also very nice! You can order lunch and snacks right to the beach, again a nice perk! We had a couples massages too which was by far the best massage we have ever had! Our room overlooked the garden and ocean- we will be back!
