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 KingdomLovely garden , comfortable lodge, the walk to the waterfall is a must if you are staying here. Takes 1 hr and you can swim in a lovely spot after about 40 min. Beautiful primal forest on route. Really exceptional trees. We also enjoyed our dinner . Good location for Rio Celeste walk or tubing.

United StatesJust add a few hooks around the room to hang damp clothing and towels, but nothing big.
Perfectly nestled at the edge of the forest with an excellent view of the volcano and landscape, morning sun and clouds rising up and over the mountain range, birds and flowers everywhere, an invigorating hiking trail to the waterfall and sweet, spotless cabins… what’s not to love?

United KingdomVery little to criticise. Having a few very tiny ants in the bed on the last night of our stay was a minor inconvenience, but one must remember that this is the tropics and the wooden-floored cabins aren't exactly sealed to nature.
The cabin at Cataratas Bijagua Lodge was ideal. Surrounded by beautiful gardens full of tropical birds, the accommodation was roomy and comfortable. Breakfasts and evening meals, being variations on the typical Costa Rican Gallo Pinto (rice and beans), were excellent and tasty. And the sloth in the tree behind reception posing for photographs capped it all.

United StatesWifi was a bit spotty, but we were trying to escape and enjoy our vacation. Parking was limited. In our cabin, the fan and mini frig could not be plugged in at the same time because there was not enough outlets. Not a big issue for one night, but on a longer stay you might want to leave the frigde on all the time. No A/C but it was comfortable at night. Had to drive into the town for coffee before the breakfast was served.
Very nice rustic setting near Tenerio Park. Close to town if you needed items or dinner, but required driving, it was a bit far to walk. Nice big shower with hot water. Back porch with Rocking chairs and hammock. Small place with 6? cabins. Breakfast was good and prepared when you arrived.

Breakfast was very good and nutritious; the mixed fruit was sweet and served in a side dish bowl. Of course the coffee was great ! Our fish dinner was simple but good; they served it with rice and beans , along with a small salad. Our room was super clean although quite rustic--- and that"s what we wanted! The grounds are beautiful with so many tropical plants. The property's trail to the waterfall is definitely challenging! The trail to the Mirador (lookout) was easier!

Lodge in the jungle on the edge of town. The cabin was great backing onto the jungle. Loads of wildlife every day in the morning aflock of toucans came in and hung around for the morning. Couldn't walk the trail both days we were going to it rained. Staff was very good as was the breakfast I believe was typical Costa Rican.

United StatesThe only things we didn’t like were the fact the curtain rods fell down frequently, the mat in front of the door was a slipping hazard, and the door jammed when opening and closing.
Nearly everything was fantastic! The price can’t be beat. We planned to drive to Rio Celeste to go hiking but then we were told there are private hiking trails to a waterfall at the lodge. We opted for this hike instead and had zero regrets. We got the entire waterfall and swimming hole to ourselves and saw frogs and butterflies on the path! Breakfast was included and it was delicious. The cabin itself was charming and comfortable.

Access to a waterfall with plunge pools in a 1h walk directly from the lodge. Very nice, silent and not crowded like the natural park. A bar is just under construction. Dinner is available - just one choice per day. Breakfast typical and ok.

Everything! We had a complete little lodge for ourselves. It was super clean, comfortable with everything we needed for our stay: a/c, enough plug sockets, a little terrace with hammock and a nice bathroom with hot water ;). The hosts were super nice. Only one family member spoke english, but even without a common language we felt mostly welcome and everyone was most helpful. To get there you need to take a gravel road of some kilometre, so a 4x4 is helpful. The position of the lodge is perfect for trips to the National Park and in top of that you have the option to walk to a private waterfall on the premises, where you can have a nice cool swimm after an hour of walking through a stunning piece of rainforest. The breakfast consisted in the tipical costarican choice of gallo pinto or pancakes, but was tasty with good coffee. Because of the quite long gravel road we didn't want to go out by night and decided to take the offered dinner option, which was a good choice.
