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 KingdomThe jacuzzi obviously hadn’t been used for a long time as the jets needed a clean, water was icy cold with no way of warming. Was a shame but is a social place and doesn’t need the jacuzzi. Just for information, not a negative, but the location is about 8km from La Fortuna, once off the main road, the lane to Encanto is in part, a typical Costa Rica unmade storey road, but we saw worse roads during our time in the country. If like remote and want the views, don’t let it put you off.
We booked two rooms, one with view of Arenal Volcano. Spectacular view and was great to be able to sit on balcony in rocking chairs and take in the view. Both rooms were clean, basic kitchen area with fridge, microwave, slow cooker. The neighbouring restaurant was open for pleasant evening meal and great breakfast (not included). Staff were helpful and also booked an early morning taxi for us in advance which was very much appreciated. Other facilities we didn’t use was a communal cooking area, large seating area and plenty of space to just chill and soak up the beauty and views.

United StatesEasy to confuse with Arenal Lodge due to name..English was quite poor and apparently they dont use a digital translator. Pin only worked on Google maps.
View of volcano, when not in clouds, is superb from rooms with that view. The garden view has some nice plants that shield the parking area...you could see your car but no need. Too off the beaten track for vandals. Despite difficult to locate even with Waze (forget Google maps here) it is a very good value. People with "garden view" can sit volcano-watch from next door restaurant. We had a beer because kitchenette with electric skillet toaster microwave, and fridge plus plates and utinsels was sufficient for us to cook. .Four days was long enough for us. Nearby is horse riding, hot water river (park free) just north o f Tabacon. Rockers a NB d tablecon porch great for eating, reading, snoozing. Restful! They do have good internet.

United StatesI suggest screens to keep your doors open at night without letting bugs/critters in. There is no AC, and the rooms can heat up quickly in the heat of the day, so opening the doors is the only way to cool things down. My room got quite stuffy so i braved the bugs and opened up at night. I would also suggest comfier beds as the metal coil mattress killed my back. Otherwise, it is a very unique and functional accommodation. Thank you!
I enjoyed my stay at Encanto. The staff was very communicative when I was running late to check-in. I had really wanted a volcano view room, but unfortunately, none were available, and this wasn't their fault. The facilities are very clean and functional with everything you need to stay comfortable and even cook a simple meal. There was even hot water in the shower!

SwitzerlandThe dogs kept barking at me when I walked past and they were also barking at night. Also one should be aware that this location is very remote, albeit beautiful.
They let me do the checkin slightly later than their official checkin times, which was nice

SwedenIt's kind of an isolated place and very cumbersome to get to and from without your own car (Uber works sporadically, but they don't like the bumpy road out there). I highly recommend renting a car with excellent suspension if you stay here.
Calm and relaxing stay a bit outside La Fortuna with lovely nature around. It has a fantastic view of Arenal (although I can't confirm as it was cloudy and rainy during my stay). Very friendly and helpful people working here!

AustriaThe road to the place is not the best. Also, there was a dog barking in the evening. Fortunately it stopped at some point.
This room is nice. It has a lot of free space, and even a bit of balcony space.

IsraelLocation far from any restaurant. Requires an unpleasant ride in the dark and requires a jeep. The roof is made of tin, if there is heavy rain the noise in the room is loud and wakes you up Price too high for this room There is no light or electricity near the bed, no anger for towels, we were unable to get hot water (unfortunately we showered late and gave up contacting the reception).
A beautiful bedroom, an amazing view and worth the mountain - a must upgrade, a cute little kitchenette for those who are looking for it. The room is clean and includes 2 towels per person, the jacuzzi was nice

Canada- The unpaved road to reach the property can become annoying after 2/3 ways to come back home - The broken bed slats: please change the wooden bed into a metal one or something robust against the humidity : it just made the slats break and this made the bed not really comfortable - The lack of a ventilation system made the room feel very moist - The kitchen could have been equipped with at least some olive oil and some standard hot plates - as-is it was not really convenient for cooking so we ate instant pastas
- The hot tub to relax after a long day of hiking - Cleaning with new towels and sheets every day

United StatesThe sleeping arrangement was unfortunately quite uncomfortable. The mattress is extremely stiff and has springs that poke through it. The pillows (there were only 2) were extremely flat. There were also dogs barking pretty much non stop both nights we were there.
The staff was friendly and helpful, but mostly out of sight which was welcome since the property is small. The location is great-I would recommend coming from the fortuna town through the road that passes the springs resort. On our way in our map took us through a much longer route that was on dirt road for the last 8km or so, which was pretty unpleasant. The room was clean and functional. Wi-Fi did the job.
