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.).

AustraliaThe only downside is it’s a fair bit out of Fortuna and Uber doesn’t work from there so you have to walk a bit to get to a spot where you can order a car if you haven’t rented one. It’s also quite prone to ants and other bugs because it’s not fully sealed however it was not too much of an issue
This place is absolutely gorgeous. It’s in such a scenic spot, it’s self contained and it’s got such cute cabins, it’s perfect for a getaway stay. It was clean, comfortable and quiet, and the owners are so lovely and accomodating

GermanyThe AC is a bit loud (makes a bang every minute or so), but we didn't need it at night.
Super friendly host, very beautiful views of the volcano & the house itself has everything you need. Good WiFi.

SwitzerlandThe pillows are are so big, we could not use them without getting a stiff neck and back pain. We had to use our flight pillow, so we didn't sleep really comfortable.
The cabin has a really good location, not far from the village of La Fortuna, but still quite and in the nature. From the kitchen you even had am amazing view on the Vulcano Arenal. The cabin is quite big and have everything you need. They even brought us fresh papaya and bananas the first morning. Really nice experience.

United StatesThe pillows were huge and the replacement still too big. Both were cushions not pillows that should be shallow and soft. The light in the bathroom is placed behind the person making the face dark and shaving/make up hard. A common problem in Costa Rica. A better address to the cabin is required. It is very hard to find it initially.
Location, people, the cat (please take cat into your family and spay her.

United StatesI would have liked some hooks to hang clothing in the bedroom and had a rug or mat either outside or inside the door to wipe shoes on and/ or to place them on.
Cabana was very clean and neat, furnishings were sturdy and in excellent condition. The grounds were beautiful and very well maintained. The location was superb with an excellent view of the volcano.

United StatesIt's a bit outside of the town, so unless you have a car, its tricky to get to and from. For the price and what you get though, still worth it in my opinion.
A lovely cottage that makes you feel like you are secluded and in the middle of the jungle. The beds were comfy, view was gorgeous and the place was spotless.

United StatesHad an issue with an army of military ants entering the cabin from different areas, which was quickly remedied after contacting the host. There were also some scarabs in the room, but this is expected given the location of the cabin. Pillows were too high which made them uncomfortable.
Very responsive and friendly hosts. The cabin was big and clean. Wifi worked well. Hot water shower was great. You can see a lot of wildlife and if the weather is in your favor, you'll also see the Arenal volcano. The cabin had all necessities for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was very well stocked.

United StatesWater in the shower was cold most of the time - it would have been nice to have hot water. The signage is a bit confusing when you first arrive because although there are signs at the main road, there are no signs on the homes themselves.
I was a little unsure when I was booking this place, but I’m glad I did. Place was very clean with all of the basics covered. Very glad to have air conditioning, which kept the cabin comfortable. Host was easily accessible through email and immediately walked over when I accidentally set off the alarm. Location was convenient to the town if you have a car. Overall, we were very happy with our stay!
