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 KingdomI thought the accommodation was grim and depressing, needing significant modernisation and industrial cleaning. Kitchen area dire. Bedrooms like a glorified bunkhouse with old utility type furniture . No hot water or mirror in bathroom for shaving.
The accommodation itself had no redeeming features. The view from the verandah was fabulous.

United StatesHard to find (little signage on the road). Old. Poorly lit. Lacking in dishes. A/C leaking if pushed too much/long. Noise from adjacent rooms and restaurant. Overall it felt like staying at the Y.
The only really nice things were the view from our casita over the ocean, the hammock at the front and the location in the heart of Quepos en route to Manuel Antonio. Not all rooms have a view. Facilities are old and in need of a serious upgrade. The Lagarto restaurant next door is very good but pricey.

United KingdomNot much! Rooms are not cleaned during our stay, and so we had to go and ask for more toilet roll.
Loved our stay at Pura Natura! We had one of the apartments that had a terrace with a hammock and the view over the jungle and facing the ocean was just amazing! Everyday we watched Parrots and all kinds of other birds fly past. Such a great spot. The hotel is in a rather quieter area of MA but there are other restaurants and also supermarkets nearby. I really liked the location though as I really felt "in" the nature. Staff at hotel really friendly as well.

United StatesToilet didn’t work on its own - always had to force the flap to close. No real temp control on the shower. Was told to adjust on the shower head - which was over 7’ high. My husband tried adjusting it and got it turned down a little. But it was still quite hot water… not what you want when coming in from 90+ F temps. Minimal lighting throughout. Despite the pool shown in the pics … it’s only for the people in the “deluxe” apartments. Thankfully the staff let us use it. But very deceiving to see that on the listing and then get there to find out we weren’t supposed to use it. Kitchen cabinets falling apart. Front door lock was very difficult to use. Bathroom “window” was open air to the outside with bars on it.
Gorgeous views! Great restaurant next door. A/C in the bedrooms.

SwitzerlandThe kitchen was really awful when it comes to the equipment, there wasn't enough first of all. Then they were dirty and very poor quality (unlike what you can find in other hostels). There wasn't even enough of the basics like glasses, cutlery, and plates. It is regrettable because the owner has the initiative to put ACs in all rooms, and can't invest a little more to his kitchens. Apart from the price, People travel in hostels mainly because you can cook your own food, as long as you can find a functional kitchen... In Vista Serena, it was a challenge to cook anything... Also, I didn't like the attitude of the lady at the desk, very insistent on selling us her "tour deals". My suggestion, for the price you pay there you have better locations... I felt that I should have switched with the hostel TEVA behind them, as they have a better-equipped kitchen and more sophisticated and modern facilities. And anyway, you have an awful load of other hostels there.
The location is great, nice view indeed. There is a very nice trail behind the hostel that has a beautiful free wild forest to walk in.
