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.).

United KingdomNothing.
Beautiful uninterrupted view of the Arenal volcano and valley. Quiet, rural setting with a few cabins nearby. The bedroom had double windows opening on to the patio. It was a good size with 2 comfortable queen beds and a put up bed for a child. Aircon was only in the bedroom, it was quiet and efficient. There was a large shower unit with lots of hot water. Cushioned seats and a table were on a covered patio which was large enough to use during a downpour. The settee in the living area was a good size. The kitchen has a full sized freestanding cooker with 4 rings , a microwave, rice steamer, and mini oven grill, coffee machine and kettle. Cooking utensils were limited to spoons/ slice and a knife. There were plenty of pans & a colander. The 11kg load washing machine was a bonus. Daniel was quick to respond, friendly and helpful. We were delighted when he introduced us to Freddy a local sloth at the end of the drive.

BelgiumMinor thing, the house is next to a half gravel road. During the day it was a bit annoying but no problem in the evening or early morning.
The view is amazing ! Has everything as advertised. We loved having breakfast while watching the colibris. During the evening we had a firefly show and the visit of the biggest toad.

United StatesTwo minor things: 1) you should know the property is accessible by a dirt/gravel road only, which can be a bit tricky but not impossible if you don’t have a 4x4. 2) There was a minor problem with some small ants where they invaded random objects like my shoes and my breast pump overnight. Not a big deal.
Amazing view of the volcano from the backyard terrace. The kitchen is fully equipped and even has a washing machine. The location is about 10 minutes from downtown, but we were mostly driving to the nearby attractions (e.g. Mistico Hanging Bridges, North Fields).

GermanyIt was a bit hard to find the house in the evening when we've arrived. It's around 20 mins car drive to La Fortuna. Last 3-5km is a gravel/stony road, with quite steep part around 500m before reaching the house - you may need a car with enough clearance (we had 4x4 SUV, so was not a big deal for us).
Great location for calm stay with spectacular view on the volcano. The house is relatively small (just living room and one bedroom), but has all what you need to stay with the family, including wash-machine and even small terrace overlooking the volcano.

Costa RicaThe only thing we didn’t like, and it’s not even the owner’s fault it’s that there was a small road of rocks that we had to go through to go to the city so that was the only “negative”.
We really liked the fact that it had all you need to cook, it had WiFi and the place was nice plus the view of the volcano was incredible! The beds smelled nice, they provided towels, shampoo, and even detergent to wash the clothes. Both the Chalet and the house were beautiful.

PolandThe disadvantages include access - a piece of gravel road (about 1km) - but we did not mind because I was driving an SUV.
Very comfortable, well equipped house with a beautiful view of the volcano. Very good contact with the host. Fully equipped kitchen. There is a washing machine and laundry detergent on site. Quiet and peaceful area where in the evening or in the morning you can enjoy your eyes on the terrace with a beautiful view. The property is quite a distance from the center of La Fortuna, we didn't mind (perfect starting point for Místico Arenal Hanging Bridges or Treking Arenal).

MaltaThe location is around 20 minutes outside of La Fortuna town however there was a road which the hosts told us about which made it easy to get around. Road was quite rough. I think that the place is not accessible by bus.
The view of the Arenal Volcano was unbelievably incredible. One of the rooms was surrounded with glass windows giving you the possibility to look at the magnificent view even from the bed. The kitchen was well equipped and the outdoor area of the house was also amazing. Would definitely recommend and visit again. Only one room had AC in it the others had fans. Didnt meet the hosts but they replied quickly.

Germanyall fine
first there is the view. Once the sky clears up you have a fantastic view on the volcano. we only stayed for one night but we wouldn’t want to leave in the morning trying to stay as long as possible. couldn’t get away from all the hummingbird action. the communication with our host was all via app but super responsive and stressfree. I personally like it when I have someone to talk to in person but I totally understand if this is not always possible. And as I said: I always got an immediate response. I would totally recommend this cabin which was well equipped and spotless clean. And by the way: the view is the same (or maybe even better because higher up) as at the resort furrher down the road where you‘ll pay ten times as much and have to share it with other guests 😀
