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 StatesThe construction at the adult pool area was the only thing I didn’t like
Property is absolutely stunning. There is nothing else like it. The wildlife and the ocean right there.

Near the beach and the road to Manuel Antonio NP. My teenage sons loved the pool and we all appreciated the air conditioning in our room. Great view over the ocean. Staff really helpful. It's on a hill but the free transport service around the site meant that this was not a problem. A highlight was spitting a baby sloth in the trees by one of the restaurants.

United StatesBeautiful view from the Studio + Family room. Around the corner from the pool (but not loud). It was hot and humid but the A/C worked beautifully. Very convenient that there were different restaurants associated with the hotel. The restaurant on the property (Anaconda) had great food and service.

United StatesThe uphill climb. Just don’t do it. Also, the lighting is dimmer because of their use of bottles as shades. This does reduce light considerably. Ladies make note for any makeup routine.
We liked the vastness of the property. It clearly is one of the largest hotels in Manuel Antonio. We felt secluded in the adult area of the property but also at any moment were able to access any area easily via free shuttle within the property or just plain walking.

United StatesPool needs towel service. It’s pretty annoying to carry towel from room to pool and back. Price of hotel is high, really USA prices, but it was high season. Drinks are moderately high but good. Breakfast service after it is delivered is non existent. Staff never returns for coffee or water refills. This is one problem with the mandatory tip instead of optional tip. You have to get up or flag them down for any service once meal is delivered.
The ocean view room was exceptional view. Looked over the bay in front of Manuel Antonio. Pool deck view is exceptional regardless of room location. Sunset should not be missed from this location. The bartenders made the pool experience nice. The location is close enough to the beach to walk, tho it is steep. Breakfast was pretty good and not overly priced. Laundry service was not over priced either. Wildlife at the hotel is fantastic. Birds, monkeys, sloths all around.

United StatesWe did not receive the room we booked the first night and moved the next day to a room with the specific bed configuration we booked to accommodate 3 adults. The staff said we had not booked the beds correctly even though it was very clearly stated on our booking.
Beautifully kept grounds, pools and interesting layout.

United StatesA little expensive but it was our honeymoon and big splurge of the trip. Still worth it and we would stay there again! Didn't love Playa Espadilla. Would much rather have stayed at the park's beaches longer.
The views were incredible, all rooms were very spacious and had everything we needed, big balcony, loved being in the adults only area, all the planes scattered around the property were so cool, excellent cocktails, all of the restaurants on property were excellent, the staff was very friendly and helped book our tour of the Manuel Antonio National Park with a great guide and shuttle service, the property shuttle service to the restaurants on property was very nice and last but not least my favorite, the MONKEYS EVERYWHERE! The squirrel monkeys playing in the jungle canopy every evening at sunset was my favorite thing!

Very good hotel. If you expect a little luxury this is the place to stay. Our suite was in zone D with an amazing view of the ocean. Very well equipped and clean. The property is very large and there is something for everyone. Lots of different restaurants. Interesting idea of apartments decorated in old airplanes. Very good swimming pools. Beach within walking distance. Staff very friendly and helpful.

United StatesI wouldn’t say we didn’t like this feature but you need to be certain you can walk up & down the street of the property and down to the beach. It’s a good hike and if you’re not comfortable with a somewhat strenuous walk please consider driving down to the beach.
The view from our room was amazing, overlooking the water. Having a tub on our balcony was a nice surprise. The size of our room was quite large. Plenty of monkeys to view from the balcony with our morning coffee.
