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 StatesIt would be great to have coffee available, even if for a fee, because this is not an urban location with easy access to coffee shops.
Absolutely gorgeous! Very comfortable room with a/c when needed, though the breeze through the windows was often enough. The pool area is a little paradise, full of trees. And it’s tranquil due to the small size of the property (I think there are 8 rooms). If you don’t have a car (I didn’t), the bus is clean and comes every 30 minutes. It’s just 10 minutes to either Quepos or Manuel Antonio.

United StatesThe room we had was quite small. I know that we had the smallest room, so this should not be an issue with the other rooms. But the room was very clean and comfortable.
The setting exceeded our expectations. The pool area is exceptional, very private and comfortable. The hosts are extremely nice and the breakfast was quite good. The entire place was extremely clean. Lastly, it was a great value and we would return!

United StatesThat I had to leave!
I cannot use enough superlatives to describe how delighted my wife and I were staying at the Coyaba Tropical Elegant Adult Guest House. The grounds were tastefully decorated, the lighting at night was pleasing and relaxing, the pool - though smaller - was very nice, the bed was super-comfy and the music that was played (not too loudly) during the day and early evening was soothing and enjoyable. However, the hosts - Mike and Paul - were the best part of our stay. What wonderful down-to-earth persons! The breakfasts served each morning were excellent and included fresh local fruit. Overall, they were great hosts, helped us work through some transportation / travel issues and were so kind to us in so many ways that they made our first visit to Costa Rica a truly memorable experience. Highly recommend staying here!!

United StatesThe hotel was so comfortable and looked amazing! Very unique and homey at the same time. I love this stay so much. Great location! The bus to Manuel Antonio/Quepos is right out front and there are a couple restaurants close by. Since it's between Manuel Antonio & Quepos, it was really easy to travel to both areas. There is a beach that is a 25-minute walk (definitely a hike) and a great sunset view that's about a 10-minute walk. The breakfast was so delicious! Homemade bread, fresh fruit, juice, coffee, and breakfast of the day. The owners provided great service and were easy to communicate with. I hope to be back soon!

This hotel is a lovely oasis to come back to after the activity of the day. The owners are lovely and they keep the whole place spotlessly clean. They live on the property, so are able to assist or respond immediately. The breakfast was great. The rooms are great. The grounds are lush with a relaxed, elegant vibe. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

MexicoThe hotel was fine and could not really find fault with it. It was close to the road but once inside you couldn't hear it and did not affect our stay. One thing you need to be aware of (not related to the hotel) is that the Manual Antonio National Park has had its max number of visitors reduced from 3000 to 1300 per day! When we got there no tickets were available for the next 3 weeks!! And this was the low season! You will need to book on-line well in advance on the National Park webpage if this is on your to-do list. However, despite this set back it didn't affect our time there as there is quite a lot to fill your time and nature seems to come to you, for example we came across a small group of Macaws (Guacamayas) in the downtown area!!
This guesthouse is beautiful little place just off the main road and is run by two ex-pats from Canada and Jamaica, Mike and Paul. There are perhaps 8 rooms. Breakfast is available on request and is a good size with fruit, juice and main plus bread made on the property. The common area is well set out with a small pool and water feature. It is close to the forest and we had a monkey come by on our first day while we had breakfast! The staff are friendly and helpful (including the cleaner/gardener if you are a Spanish speaker) regarding local sights and eating places etc. There is good WiFi throughout but no TV, which for us is a plus! We did decide to stay an extra day which we were able to sort out after we arrived and wasn't planned and used the extra day to visit the Nauyaca waterfalls which is definitely worth the trip if you have a car but you need to get there before last entry at 2pm as it closes a 5ish. There is a 4 o 5 Km walk or you can take a 4x4 from the entrance there and back for an additional cost.
