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 KingdomIt was perfect.
What an incredible space! We had an amazing time here staying at the Harmony Dome. Everyone who worked here could not have done more to make us feel relaxed and at home. From the hummingbird gardens to the grounds and private waterfall, this place is a piece of magic! You can see how much heart and soul has been poured into growing this space and showing everyone how beautiful Costa Rica is. The food was also delicious and a real treat to have your dinner in front of such a magnificent volcano view! We went on a night walk with Mau, which was truly fantastic! His enthusiasm for nature was inspiring. We were sad to leave, but we were so thankful for their help in organizing our transfers to Monteverde. We hope to come back again and will recommend this place to anyone coming to Costa Rica! Olivia and Helena

United KingdomNothing - it was all fabulous.
We absolutely LOVED our stay here. This place is amazing - so much wildlife can be seen in the grounds and the views of Arenal volcano are just breathtaking. The hike to the waterfall within the grounds and swimming in the cool, clear water there was one of the highlights of our whole trip. The breakfast and dinner onsite was very good. The guided night walk around the grounds is a must. Johnny was extremely helpful and answered any questions we had before our trip. He and all the staff went out of their way to ensure we had a great stay here.

United StatesI can’t think of anything they could improve? Maybe more counter space in the bathrooms?
This is a place designed more for retreats, but was absolute perfection. Johnny and his staff (Rachel and Javier) are AMAZING. Definitely plan on staying here! You can do a hanging bridge hike here and skip the crowds at the Mistico Hanging bridges. Additionally, the hike up to the waterfall is amazing - definitely bring your swimsuit and swim at the base of your own private waterfall! We had 2 kids (10 & 12) and 3 adults. The hike might have been a little tougher for young kids, but was fantastic for ours. The coffee, breakfast, and dinner were delicious, as well! We had some snacks from the supermarket, and that was all we needed for lunch between those meals on-site, even for the kids. We stayed in the family room, and could have easily fit more people (4 double beds), but we talked about coming back and trying one of the domes if we only had 2. I cannot say enough about how wonderful this place is to relax and see Costa Rica!

HungaryThe trails inside the property would need more maintenance. The steps down to the Arenal river were partly demolished, as well on the upper part of the property on the way to the waterfall. It is not recommended for elderly or someone with mobility issues.
Exeptional location. The little house was in a private property next to the Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges and close to Volcan Arenal National Park. On site there is a frog sanctuary with red eyed tree frogs, the view from the private little hanging bridge to the volcano is beautiful. Coatis, capucin and howler monkeys were just before our door. Hummingbirs were flying around the flowers. We saw here more animals than in the Mistico Park. Loved our little house, it was well equiped, bed was comfortable, good quality toiletries were provided. Welcome smootie was delicious. The owner and the workers were very friendly, and helpful. It was a memorable stay. They provided dehumidifier in the house against the high humidity. The whole area was very safe.

It's a wonder to have such a "private" place in the hyper-touristic El Arenal Volcano area. Just imagine waking up surrounded by colibri and with majestic volcano in front of you. All enjoyed from the comfort of your bed OR hiking the private trails. The owner and his staff are caring for you and fulfil all your needs and wishes. Making sure you enjoy your stay to the fullest. The night trip is a must! No worries about the food - excellent kitchen on site!

United StatesOutstanding host (Johnny) and staff (Rachel). They were so warm and caring. Johnny went the extra mile to make sure we had a wonderful experience. He organized custom meals to meet our special needs. He helped with logistical arrangements (not part of his job) and acted more like a good friend. We stayed in Harmony Dome, which was great. We were surrounded by the forest and had interesting animal and bird visitors every day. The property has great trails that we could explore without a crowd. I cannot praise the place enough - a total gem. Johnny is interested in conservation and in living in harmony with nature, which I think is a big plus.

BelgiumThis is a new resort. We slept in a room foreseen for a family or a group and not in an individual accommodation. For the time being, there are only two places for couples, it is foreseen to build a few more. I would have liked to pat in bitcoin with the Bitcoin Jungle application, which is common in other places in Costa Rica but not yet around lake Arenal.
The surrounding: the facilities are a small part of the property, the domain is 46 hectares and visitors are free to explore the domain. Tracks are available, it is well indicated and relatively easy to walk in the forest around the facilities. The staff and the manager are very kind and professional.

AMAZING experience, coming here, is like experiencing the real Costa Rica. The staff was amazing, Johnny made sure we had the best time! The food was very good as well, we were 2 vegans and we always had plenty to eat. The location is far, yes, but that's what this place is all about. We saw all types of animals, and it gave us the most peaceful experience to be surrounded by so much nature.

SwitzerlandThe park is a bit remote, about 30 minutes outside of La Fortuna, I would recommend a car so that you are flexible. We were there without a car and Johnny was very helpful with organising transport.
We loved our stay at the Wellness Park! The Peace Dome is surrounded by nature and you have complete peace and quiet. It's nice to fall asleep with the windows open and the sounds of nature. The park itself offers yoga decks, a frog sanctuary and various hiking trails, e.g. to a small waterfall or a viewing platform and more. And all that you can enjoy almost to yourself, even in the high season. And Johnny and the other staff were so nice and helpful. Thank you again!

GermanyThe "peace dome" didn't include breakfast, which is 10 $ extra, in case you want to have some coffee, fruit and toast with some egg. But the small kitchen of the accomodation provides everything you need, to prepare your own one :)
Even though the "peace dome" is quite small, it has enough space for 2 persons, if you handle your luggage well. It's a really romantic place, if you are in company and very calming too. The property is huge and really quiet, except many many nature sounds, I enjoyed a lot while falling asleep :) Thank you for this nice stay and showing me the red-eyed tree frogs, which I love so much and never saw before.

RomaniaIt was very cosy and a nice retreat. You wake up in a park with hummingbirds in front of your door and a great view of the volcano. Then you can hike the Park trails (ca.3h) and experience a hidden jungle, waterfall with a lot of fauna. Also there is a cool viewpoint where you can get a photo of the volcano and the jungle.

United StatesMaybe I missed the memo but for 3 nights our room was not cleaned even once. I also had to ask for towels twice and pick them up myself from the reception. Just minor things that could be easily fixed, in my opinion. And a suggestion: when guests are having breakfast, i think the dishes can be washed after the guests have finished their breakfast. We are there to enjoy peace, quietness and stillness, and not the juggling of silverware.
I liked the fact that there was so much to do at this property. It is very isolated, which we liked. There is only one other domo in the whole property so that was a huge plus for us. I still recommend the domo further away from the reception for total immersion in the environment. Make sure you check the longer trail on the property and the waterfall along the way. You can take a dip in the waterfall as well. That trail was my favorite part of my trip to CR!

Costa RicaThere are alot of nice trails to hike however someone who is not confident in hiking in the jungle may feel a tad lost due to the lake's efficient signage. It is almost impossible to get lost but it would make it reassuring for those who lack experience.
The location makes for a peaceful natural experience where the only noises you get are from the animals and nature itself. But you do get the experience of waking up in the jungle in the Peace Dome where we slept with the windows open to hear the monkeys and frogs and insects and birds, etc!
