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 StatesWe stayed in Rm 309 from 5/14 -5/17/2024 the beds are very uncomfortable, they need new mattresses. The rooms are rustic but very clean . They could upgrade bathrooms since noI counter space for toiletries, a small sink and thats it.
The hotel is located in the perfect spot of la fortuna, the waterfall entrance is 2 miles away. Downtown la fortuna is about 5 miles. The grounds are well kept. Great pool area and hot tubs throughout. Breakfast buffet was nice had several options of food. Overall enjoyed the stay but our mattresses need to be replaced in rm 309

Costa RicaThe staff is very friendly and the room is beautiful.

I highly recommend booking a second floor room for the view. The gardens are gorgeous.

IcelandNot enough sun beds by the pool. Considering the amount of rooms, there need to be more sun beds. Always when we were at the pool, all the sun beds were taken. Not so nice to always have to sit in the bar area when the kids were playing in the pool. The breakfast was fine but dinner in the restaurant not so great. We only ate there once because the dinner was not good. Also very limited selection.
This was a nice stay. Spacious room, a good shower, lovely surroundings. Staff was friendly and helpful. Good location, good value for money. I'd recommend staying here. Close to the waterfall and La Fortuna.

BrazilBecause we were sick and had to cancel our tours, we stayed a lot in bed. So I can say that internet didnt work too well from the bed, had to go to the balcony in order for it to work. Also, I like warm showers but omg was it boiling!! I didnt find a way of making the temperature lower, maybe there was.
We loved the property, very nice, with a lot of green around and maybe a Volcano view (which we didnt have because it was cloudy during our whole stay). Breakfast was great, a buffet with lots of options, quite rare since almost all stays we had in Costa Rica it was a menu with options to choose from and not all you can eat. The warm pools looked very cozy even though we didnt use them we would definitely do it if we had the chance. Unfortunately we got food poisoning before arriving to the hotel so we ordered some soup at the restaurant that the chef prepared by charging same price of a chicken salad. They took it to our room, that was great.
