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.).

ItalyThe property should have equipped the entire building with double windows. Having said that, this is not a major issue.
Welcoming, kind, professional and extremely caring staff (I wish we could find them in Europe!), large room with a view, silent A/C, very comfortable mattress and pillows, perfect wifi and very appealing rooftop indoor pool. Located in a safe area surrounded by several embassies, where nice cafes and restaurants are located.

United KingdomThe comfort offered with a stylish and modern style. Great location near the airport.
The room was amazing, specious, comfortable and modern will all you need. The floor to creaking window offered an incredible view. The bed was big and incredibly comfortable. The rest of the hotel was equally high standard with great facilities including the great pool area and gym with amazing city and Mountain views. The restaurant and terrace over looking the stadium were also outstanding.

United StatesThis is one of the best properties I have stayed in. Hilton La Sabana over looks the National Football Stadium and I got to watch the game from the comfort of my room. This by far the best Hotel in San Jose. I love this place and the staff.

United StatesThe only letdown was that we tried to call guest services to get extra towels, and no one was answering. It might’ve been some thing going wrong with the phone system because the staff seemed really eager to please. It was ringing busy, no matter how many times we tried. In the end we had to go down to the lobby to request the towels. Not a huge deal, but inconsistent with the rest of the experience.
The hotel itself feels quite luxurious. The breakfast is not to be missed. Lots of choices and high-quality food. The staff is very attentive and friendly. The room was beautiful with a great view. The gym is well equipped.

AustriaLocation could be better. The hotel is a little bit outside the city center. While this is ok at night - San Jose does not have the safest city center -, the distance requires a taxi ride to visit nearly everything that is worth being seen.
It clearly is a Hilton with high standards that La Sabana definitely lives up to. A big plus is the skyscraper-like architecture with an amazing view on the sports stadium in front of the hotel and on the surrounding mountains. Further, the well-equipped hotel gym and the pool are on the top floor of the hotel, making both spectacular.

Denmarkthe acustics in the restaurant and bar area is not really great. the band during the evening in the restaurant was so loud that even the waiters had trouble hearing me yell our order. the bar has a slight tendency to overdo the alcohol rather then the taste. which is a shame if you want to have a nice cocktail.
nice lokation with the park and stadion. the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. a real joy.
