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 KingdomNo loungers or easy chairs in the garden
Quiet place just outside of town. Its 1000c into the centre which is much less than the difference of a hotel in town. Quiet hotel set in nice gardens full of wildlife. We saw a couple of huge Igananas The ac in the room was good. Breakfast is either Tican or American with juice tea and coffee. There is no kettle or fridge in the room but there is a kettle for guest use at reception and also a hair dryer. The large gardens are great fir a walk and despite there being a large pond there did not seem to be many mosquitos. There is a couple of rails and some hangers but we are living out of our bags anyway.

United StatesThe shower was cold. Not a deal breaker, but definitely inconvenient after a long day of hiking. The access to the pool was a small window and we never got the chance to use it. We didn't mind it, but there were quite a few bugs and a lizard that got into our room during our stay, sharing in case that bothers anyone.
The staff were friendly and helped us find activities to do in the area. The room had air conditioning and was a nice size. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and it the pavilion we ate in was right next to a pretty creek. We were a 10-15 minute walk away from downtown with all the shops and restaurants.

United Kingdomit’s slightly further from the centre than I would’ve liked and quite a few ants kept appearing in the bathroom. which probably could be expected when you’re in a jungle.

SwedenMore suggestions than something I didn’t like: Since it is a bit of a walk in to town it would have been a nice touch to be able to rent a bike from the hotel. And also to be able to buy cold beverages in reception, like water.
I felt really welcomed by the staff, they are what makes this place special. Really helpful & kind people, special shout out to Marianela, Andres, Anitha & Blanca (sorry for the spelling) for always greeting me with a smile and asking how I am. Simplistic rooms, has what you need no more no less. it also feels quite safe since it’s only 6 rooms so the place is never crowded. The surrounding area is very calm and nice with lots of banana trees and a pond with ducks, fish & a turtle. A cooler temp pool which is really nice when you’ve been out on a hike.

SlovakiaThe sound isolation is not too good and you can hear through the walls. Wifi did not reach the rooms but was available in the garden.
The hotel consists of several ground floor rooms located in a beautiful garden. The cleanliness was impeccable, the staff was super friendly and helpful. Delicious breakfast with gluten free options. We greatly appreciated the washing service, the safekeeping of our luggage while we did last tour and all the recommendations about Arenal.

AustriaBreakfast was for my appetite a bit small, still good quality though. We had no car and the distance to the main part of the town is quite a walk.
Really nice, safe and clean place. The breakfast was good. You could choose between "Classic" and "American". I loved the huge garden and the pond. Didn't use it but you have pool access and there is a Crossfit Workout place where you can train (but I think you have to pay extra for this, cause it's not part of the hotel).
