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 KingdomThe location is a little out of town but a very quick walk and an amazing restaurant just up the hill 5 mins away. I wouldn’t want to walk back if I was staying on my own as it is very dark so I would look elsewhere if you are staying alone or plan so you don’t need to walk at night.
the owner is so friendly and the hotel has been built with so much love. the room and balcony are so peaceful and the view is just beautiful! you could stay all day if you wanted. there is a fridge in the room and lovely to have coffee for the morning too. the shower is incredible too! the beds were very comfy! We would definitely stay here again- the raccoons at night were cool too!

CanadaThere was nothing we didn't like!
This was our first time in Costa Rica and we could not have been more happy with where we stayed :) The host was absolutely wonderful, friendly, helpful and genuinely passionate about his property and the work he had put into it. It was amazing and we easily could have stayed longer! We would definitely return here and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a more private and welcoming place!

GermanyNote that the bathroom is open (window and outdoor shower) and that there are no insect screens :) I think having a rental car when staying there is a good idea.
The owner is super nice, you can see that he’s putting a lot of love in the rooms! He’s been super helpful with any problems we’ve had.

United StatesSome side information if you care: 1.There might be some insects because the bathroom is semi-open. 2.This place is newly decorated. 3. You need to walk for ~10 minutes to the main road and ~6 minutes to the nearest restaurant Cerdo Feliz
It is a fabulous place. 1.You can lie down on the net to watch the stars or do meditation. There is also a hammock right in front of jungle. 2. It is a great place for birding (especially for photos) because it is right next to the national park. In front of us, we got 2 scarlet macaws as our friends. 3.We had a awesome host. So kind and helpful. 4. Many outlets and sufficient light. 5. Welcoming drink and water. 6. Creative design of bathroom 7. The nearest restaurant Cerdo Feliz is awesome If you live alone, you might feel it is a little bit lonely and scared when you walk back this place from the Main Street during midnight. However, I met a dog on the street. He volunteered to escort me to home( 30 minutes) !! He is so sweet. Please pat him when you saw him.

United StatesFor some it may be difficult to navigate the stairs to the room. It sits up a flight of stairs than can be slippery when wet. Be careful and wear proper shoes.
Coolest container build project, top quality, great features, awesome private outdoor shower/waterfall, genuinely awesome host, safe and secluded location, up close and personal encounter with 4 macaws and 2 toucans.

United StatesNothing, everything was absolutely perfect. The only suggestion I have would be adding a microwave - that would add a bit more convenience when it is a bit daunting driving at night in CR lol but otherwise everything was amazing.
Absolutely wonderful, would recommend to anyone staying near Manuel Antonio/Quepos. Owner was very friendly and kind; accommodations are private and cozy. Open air waterfall shower was a highlight, as was the balcony hammock and proximity to town and the surrounding national parks. Out of the 3 places we stayed while in CR, this was the most magical. If you’re lucky, you may even see scarlet macaws while enjoying your morning coffee or evening glass of wine. :)

Bed was the biggest and most comfortable during our 12 days in-country, outdoor shower, lovely balcony. A great price in Manuel Antonio. We stayed 3 nights and wished for longer. I sincerely recommend this place to everyone. Pura vida

The host was also very kind and accommodating, we ended up having to cut our stay short and he worked with us to give us a discount, even though it was last minute. Would definitely stay again in the future!

United KingdomNothing it’s perfect
Stunning cabin set on a hillside. The owner Jacamo has put his heart into this venture and it shows. Beautiful woodwork, attention to detail, lovely balcony overlooking the hillside and a fabulous outdoor shower! Super comfy bed, small kitchen area and fridge. A/C works brilliantly and TV with Netflix. Loads of wildlife around and Jacamos rescue dog is super friendly. The host is really kind and helpful and makes your stay special, complimentary goodies in the fridge and a banana smoothie for breakfast! A short walk to a local soda and supermarket and about 45 min walk into centre of Manuel Antonio. Jacamo will arrange taxis and deliveries if required. Lovely spot would stay again!
