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 StatesThis property was better than expected. We thought it was more of a bungalow vibe but it was much more upscale. The staff, restaurant, accessibility to the calm beach, the lovely pool all added to a delightful beginning to our Costa Rican adventure.

Costa RicaProperty is really beautiful. Clean, friendly staff good location to move around the area but far enough from downtown, so having a car is a must. Roads are in perfect condition. Breakfast is just ok. It's is a family friendly environment, recommended.

United StatesThe front desk isn’t staffed at night, there’s just a roaming security guard. Happy hour times are wrong on the “app” they encourage you to use. Drink prices are pretty steep outside of happy hour. Service is terribly slow. Breakfast is atrocious.
The pool is amazing (though the hot tub in the middle isn’t hot). The beds are comfy.

United StatesThe beach is definitely not the best part of this resort. You probably want to walk over to one of the other beaches. The chairs around the pool (and near the beach) were very uncomfortable. If you don't have a car, this hotel is very isolated.
This is a gem of a property. The people were unbelievably nice and very helpful. Pool area is delightful except the chairs are so uncomfortable. The grounds around the hotel were amazingly beautiful and the howler monkeys and other wildlife were great.

United StatesThe long beach is used by local families having great fun, but there is some litter which we wish had not been possibly endangering wildlife.
We loved the well-tended tropical gardens, which helped attract wonderful birds and butterflies. The property had preserved huge old trees with respect, also a wonderful path for the glorious howler monkeys! The beach and pool were in front, and the view from the restaurant. I had a first class facial by a talented masseuse, swiftly arranged by gracious reception personnel. The food was good, and breakfasts exceptional for the usual included ones. Rooms were lovely, spotless, with good mattresses. Lots of places to be outdoors. Low-key, not glitzy nor pretentious. They have their priorities right.

ChinaThe view is beautiful and the grounds were lovely. It seems they are understaffed and the staff they do have in the kitchen were not trained yet. The pool and beach were exceptional and one could hear howler monkeys at 6 am and watch green parrots fly from tree to tree. The surrounding environment is serene and verdant, full of biodiversity. If they could train the staff and waiters in the restaurant, it would be wonderful.
