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 nightly rate could be a bit more competitive, but everything in the area is fairly expensive and it has a great location.
Breakfast was very good with fruit and several choices from the menu. The hot springs pools were well maintained and looked to be emptied and cleaned daily. beautiful grounds for walks with lots of birds and great views of Arenal volcano. The staff are fantastic! helped us with everything from transportation and local tour options.

United StatesThe property grounds were amazing, so quiet and lush, you didn’t know you were right off a main road. Very helpful front desk. The farm was an amazing bonus and we loved how the animals would just roam the property freely. You’d be sitting in a hot spring and a pig would just walk up! The kids loved it!

United StatesDrinks at the bar could have been a little stronger.
The property is beautiful. The warm springs were uncrowded and so relaxing. The farm is extensive and fun to walk around. And the property put fruit out to attract the birds which was amazing to see. Our included breakfast was freshly cooked (no buffet here!) with farm fresh eggs. The restaurant was reasonably priced and delicious for dinner. They provided towels and bathrobes to use at the hot springs.

United KingdomEverything was great.
We loved everything about this hotel. In particular I liked that it was all pedestrianised so the kids could wander about safely. It was great to have hot springs and a pool onsite, plus plenty of wildlife including a sloth mum and baby, lizards and loads of birds. The location was really convenient and we could easily order Ubers to transport us around La Fortuna cheaply. The view of the volcano from our porch was spectacular.

United KingdomThe restaurant at evening is a bit empty and the food was not amazing. I recommend going in town. It is a short taxi drive and there are great restaurant in La Fortuna.
We absolutely loved this very beautiful and relaxing place. Lot of space, nature and wildlife (birds) to watch. Our villa was spacious and confortable. The farm was nice and I enjoyed milking the cow in the morning. The view on the volcano was great. We also enjoyed the hot springs at the end of the day and the bar next to it with a lovely waitress who makes delicious cocktails ! The staff at reception were very helpful advising on activities or helping booking a restaurant on town etc...The breakfast was nice and I loved that they were putting some fruits in the trees near by to attract beautiful birds. I enjoyed watching them during my breakfast.
