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.).

Beautiful grounds and wonderful swimming pool. Lovely room and great shower. Near to the beach end of Cahuita and the great Reggae bar. A walk into town where the national park entrance is but not too far. Good kitchen facilities.

United StatesOur first night there we were locked out of our cabin and there was no one at reception. It was only 5 pm not late at night. We were stuck for 3 hours with no shoes, phones, money, food, water, etc. No one ever came to reception. We had to have another guest call the owners who were away in Europe who had to then call someone to come and let us in our cabin. Without the help from the other guest, we might have been stuck sleeping outside all night. There was also a fiesty dog on the property who would not stop attempting to 'play' with me and I ended up with scratches and bruises on my legs. They were apologetic, but I definitely think the place could have been managed better! That experience would have made a less chill person super angry. Also, the cabins were pretty rustic. There were tons of insects inside and it got very hot during the day. The fans were helpful, but if you are sensitive to heat and bugs look elsewhere.
We really enjoyed our time in our cabin. It was extremely quiet and peaceful. There was abundant wildlife on the property. We saw more wildlife here than at the national park. We enjoyed this place more than staying in town because of the seclusion, privacy and quiet. The cabin was very cute and charming and the shower was nice. It was nice to have a fridge in the room as well as a shared kitchen to use.

United StatesThe staff was flexible with a late check in, kind and generous with free fruit and a coconut. They cleaned the room daily and did laundry for us. And they found a red eye tree frog for us to observe when they realized I loved seeing all the animals on the property. It was clean, the WIFI worked strong in the room, two fans in the room kept us cool, the pool was great, we didn't see one mosquito here (mid-November) but the best part was all the animals on the property - a couple types of poison dart frogs, red-eye green tree frog, iguanas greeting us at the pool, agouti scampering about the grounds, various birds and more. I don't think they served breakfast which was fine. Next door was Bridgett's and they had some delicious breakfast options. It was about a ten minute walk to the town but only a couple minutes up the street from the beach and reggae bar. The best part of the location for us was it's setting in the woods where it was peaceful and we could see many animals right on the property.

United KingdomLots of biting bugs! Mosquito nets are provided but 3 out of 4 of us were attacked on a nightly basis. We did use repellent etc. It does rain heavily in Costa Rica in the rainy season; it's warm rain so it didn't bother us too much but it's definitely worth packing a lightweight raincoat and an umbrella!
We loved seeing and hearing the wildlife from our cabin. We also enjoyed using the swimming pool. It was a short walk to the beach where we were able to hire paddle boards / surfboards etc. We also had excellent food and drink at nearby bars/restaurants that were all welcoming and family friendly. Slightly longer walk into the town (about 20 minutes).

GermanyA couple of bigger Bungalows, set in lush tropical environment, with a small pool in the middle, set back app. 100m from the black beach, what more could you want? Well how about Monkeys and various Birds, e.g Hummingbirds, and other wildlife coming to visit while you relax on the terrace or in the pool. If you have been backpacking in the tropics in your youth, this is the place to go with your family to show them the full picture. We had the large, three bedroom, bungalow with kitchen and dining room which felt a bit like a mountain hut due to its rather dark interior. Having got used to this the hut is just perfect for a family. The owners running the place are very friendly and attentive. Cahuita is a layed back, "wild", spot, luckily yet lacking the hype and vibe of a tourism hot spot like Puerto Viejo.

Costa RicaI will pay some extra money to have AC. It will be nice if the pool can be open at 7am instead of 9am. Thats it, otherwise is great, good value for money. We will be back
Lots of wildlife right outside the rooms, we saw lizards, tocanos, ginnie pigs, lots of birds, small frogs and beautiful nature. Really relaxing

The owners were very obliging and helpful. We had enough space and the surrounding was beautiful (lot of agutis and howler monkeys in the jungle). We also had a nice terrace with a hammock.
