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 shower water didn’t get hot and the living room could get pretty warm during the day.
The property was at a great location, a perfect size with good view from the master bedroom and a big yard. The washing machine was a lifesaver, host was very responsive, and the free hot springs were an excellent perk.

BulgariaThere were no face towels but it seems this is typical for this part of the world.
The house is in a very quiet place though close to the main road. It has a wonderful terrace where you can enjoy the tranquility and the bird songs. There is a big yard and plenty of space to park a car. The host is super helpful. The house has everything you need for a pleasant stay. And the hot springs are amazing.

United StatesWe would have liked more fans to cool off - it was quite hot in the kitchen and living area rooms. Ants were a little bit of a problem in the kitchen area.
It is located near La Fortuna Waterfall and very close to the town of Fortuna - central location to tons of activities. The free pass to the thermal springs was great - it’s a beautiful and rustic hot spring facility just out of town. The host, Randall, was very responsive and helpful.

NetherlandsAirconditioning in the second bedroom would be an improvement. Also a coffe table in the living room. Be carefull when driving into the "back yard", there is a huge hole in the grass that I missed which almost ruined our car ;-) But these are just minor things, the house is absolutely lovely and I would definately visit it again on the occasion of another visit to the La Fortuna/Arenal region.
Amazing house! Very spacy and with great beds. Kitchen, living room and two bathrooms. Two seperate bedrooms, 1 with double bed and airconditioning, the other with 2 doubles but no airco. Also a balcony where a sofa is located. Lots of private parking space (can park 10 cars if you want to). House is located a few minutes outside of La Fortuna and is very easy to reach/find. Lots of dinner locations within 15-minute driving range, for great pizza head out to "Que Rico Arenal" (avoid "El Chante Verde", it looks great but the service/food was a real disspointment, I don't understand the high ratings). Last but not least: very helpfull and friendly owner!

United Statesno paper towels or hand towels in the kitchen. The remote to the air conditioning unit stopped functioning and we could not turn off the A/C or unplug it.
The location is great, just outside the busy center but just down the street from the catarata la fortuna. the beds were comfortable, air conditioning in the master bedroom and a nice big oscillating fan in the second bedroom. the living room couches were comfortable and the Wifi speeds were pretty good for central america. There was ample parking, covered at the rear of the house or uncovered in the front yard. Washing machine for laundry with covered drying lines, ample kitchen for cooking if you choose to do so and a decent sized fridge.

United StatesBeautiful house, but 1. Rooster in the neighborhood crowing since 4am 2. No coffee 3. No mirror in main bathroom, it’s hard to get ready 4. Need a sign for Green Leaf House. we passed the house 3 times and missed it. Our tour pick up missed the house too. It’s easy to miss the house if you are not pay attention.
Great communication with owner. On the Booking.com it states no parking. That’s not correct. It does have parking. Owner Randall was very nice let us park there even we already checked out while we were in a tour.

United StatesI hate to be harsh since the host was very nice and the house was clean and freshly painted. I have to be honest though and let people know that the house is very basic in terms of amenities: * There is only one AC unit in the master bedroom; the second bedroom, living, and kitchen area don’t benefit much. There is a standing fan but can not do much. * The AC unit over the bed is crooked and looks like it would fall on you any minute. I didn’t try to see if it is actually loose or just mounted uneven because I didn’t want to break it. * There are practically no bed sheets for the king bed: the ones that are there are queen size. We had to sleep on the day cover. * There are no nightstands close to the bed, so no place to put your phone, glasses, etc. * One of the outlets close to the bed didn’t have the cover. * The TV doesn’t work, there is no signal on any input. I tried to tune it with no success. * The shower head has embedded electric heater but it doesn’t do much even on max setting. The water gets about 2-3 degrees warmer but not hot. The scary part is that there are some improvised electrical connections right on the shower head! * There are no real bathroom doors, just a flimsy folding screen that give no privacy. * The sliding door for the master bedroom doesn’t have a handle. * There was no light fixture, just some hanging wires, in the breakfast area. * The kitchen utensils are a random collection of things, with different sizes, colors, and styles. All these things could be fixed with not much expense if the owner would pay attention to the little details.
Very good location, walking distance to good restaurants and a short drive to the cataract. The host doesn’t speak English, but was very responsive through WhatsApp. I had to pay cash. The house was very clean and you can park inside the fenced yard. Wi-Fi worked at decent speed.
