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.).

The staff were lovely and helped us with shuttle buses and trips, they had a decent enough kitchen to cook in and the location was really good!

United StatesOwner seemed indifferent at times. Room was hot as hell during the day and the fan was pathetic for the room ( wall mounted small fan). I've been to Costa Rica 25 times and I would rank it in the lower half of the rooms I've stayed in. There are better options nearby. However, it was cheap, clean and centrally located.
Located in the center of town very close to bus station scooter rental and supermarkets. Bogarin Trail is about 10 min. Walk.

United StatesRoom was very hot. There were no screens on the windows, so mosquitoes could get in. I didn't want to leave the front window open while I was out or sleeping for safety reasons.
Shower was large good location, good breakfast. Having a refrigerator was nice.

NetherlandsThere is a lot of noice the whole morning, day and evening. At night it was ok. A bedside lamp would be nice.
Good price for what you get. Supermarket in front of the cabinas. I can recommend you to book a tour at the cabinas, they are personal and pretty cheap compared to other tour companies. The breakfast is ok.

United KingdomThe owner is not very nice person, we met him at the check-in time. I think the room was worst we get. No view at all, the window facing the wall, in the room was only beds and a tv, nothing else, no coat hangers, no shelf or wardrobe to put your staff on, no coffee mashine or a fridge (we saw other rooms have them all). Very bad smell in the bathroom.
Very good location, near bus station.

Costa RicaA bit too much light coming into the room from the bright lights on the street. Darker curtains would have been good. It was probably not a problem for rooms not facing the street.
Service was superb as was the cleanliness of the rooms. The location was also excellent.

JapanThere are 3 things I like about Cabinas Las Palmas. First, The host, Flanklyn is so nice person, he can speak English well, and communicate with each other in English ( or of course Spanish) without any problems. Second, it has also travel agency, and I can make reservations for 3 tours. Flanklyn is also good and well-trained travel consultant, and he made good arrangement for my stay in La Fortuna. Third, the place is nice, I can find so many good Costa Rican restaurants close to the hotel.

FinlandI haven't ever met anyone that was this bad and unwilling to give customer service to customers . The cleaner was the only good person working for the hotel, atleast she smiled when you walked past her..and the bugs inside the room was pretty nasty.... there is a parking lot that only fits cars behind each other, so i needed to wake at 7.20am to move my car. The "owners" dog kept barking till 2am in the morning so sleeping here is hard, if u don't like extra noises when you trying to sleep.
The location was nice.

United StatesOur mini fridge was actually a freezer so it froze our fruit but there is a large community refrigerator in the common area that is available for use. We struggled to find the address but found it easily when we used the Lat/Long coordinates
Great value! It’s so nice to find an inexpensive place to sleep and shower. The staff is helpful and has lots of information about things to do in Fortuna.

Sri LankaA dark room on the ground floor next to the toilet and kitchen. No view. Shared backyard with noisy owner's household. Road noise from other rooms. Broken toilet, which we fixed ourselves. Unwillingness of the owner to help in any way. Air conditioning placed directly above the bed which dripped. Advertised parking space is in the yard, in case of "not only" early departure you have to get the car owners to allow you to exit. Very unpleasant owner who makes you feel like you are bothering him with your presence. He is not willing to give out breakfast early. Expect to be served breakfast rather late by an unpleasant owner. If you pay by card they charge 7% more than the price on the booking. I recommend finding other accommodation and not supporting this owner in his business.
