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.).

Czech RepublicWe would appreciate a fridge in the room.
This was the best place to stay in Costa Rica, every morning during the breakfast we could observe the tropical forest, monkeys, agutis, tucans, hummingbirds, there is also a very nice swimming pool, the room has been cleaned every day, all staff were very helpful and caring. As we had a car it wasn´t a problem to visit different beaches around. We vere very happy to choose this place as it was calm in the evening and during the night, just the monkeys provided the alarm clock sometimes a bit too early.

SwitzerlandOnce the hotel gets crowded you can hear the neighbours but this you find almost anywhere unfortunately. For me pillows were a little too strong/big but it depends on the person's preferences.
Andrea is such a nice owner and a great person. He answered any question and gave the recommendations needed. Thank you so much for your guidance & support! The place is a little oasis ca. 2 km from Playa Cocles. A moto or a bike is recommended to go to other beaches. Restaurants are ca. 20 min in walking distances. The place was clean and calm. To me it was very important to don't hear any cars and this is what I found there, thank you! I will come back for sure! Breakfast and pool-area was lovely! You feel you live in a wonderful jungle surrounded by animal voices ❤️. The balcons of the rooms are lovely too!! Thank you for all!

CanadaThere is nothing I didn’t like about our stay. It was really great!
Very clean property with beautiful surroundings. full of lush vegetation and super close to shops and restaurants. The staff are all very friendly, the free breakfast was good and a great way to start your early morning off, the beach is a 5 minute walk and our room was freezing thanks to a strong AC which was awesome for the hot weather. Huge clean bathroom, great shower just get used to the dial as it’s different than North American showers. Cute private balcony as well. Would love to come back here in the future!

Excellent service and super friendly staff. Beds very comfortable, room and bathroom super clean. Jungle behind the house with wildlife to spot. Very quiet (there is only birds/howlers who might wake you up. kids loved the table pool and swimming pool.

CanadaThe room unfortunately has zero sound proof between walls, as other reviewers have mentioned. Although this didn’t make or break our stay, I imagine it depends on which room you’re in and who is next to you. Wish the breakfast had a bit more of an option in terms of meat(bacon, cooked ham or even fried cheese). The amenities were great, however when hotel is at maximum capacity, the pool may not be comfortable to use.
First and foremost we enjoyed the friendly service, how secluded the property was and adjacent to the jungle. The bed was extremely comfortable and the AC worked very well. There was always clean and fresh towels throughout our stay and enough toiletries to last 5 days. Each day there was an option to have our room cleaned, and the property was very well maintained. The pool was refreshing and clean with an amazing view of the jungle surrounding the property.

CanadaUp a dirt road...fine on foot but rough on a bicycle. A little dusty at times when cars came by. No reason not to stay there though.
Staff was really friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet was nice, always eggs, rice/beans, toast, fresh fruit and cereal. The pool was very nice, clean and a great temp. Room was spacious and lots of hot water for showers. A ten minute walk to nice beach. Bar on site. Nice also to have a small refrigerator to keep your beverages and left overs cold. :)

CanadaThe only thing we had a problem with was the bed and pillows. A little uncomfortable for us, but we are pretty picky about our sleep.
We loved our stay! The room was comfortable, we were right by the beautiful pool. Breakfast was a bonus. We are vegan and usually, there isn't anything for us. We enjoyed fruit, toast, juice, and coffee. All the staff was wonderful, fresh turn down every day. Would recommend it to anyone going to Puerto Viejo.
