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 kitchenware needs an update, not a problem if you plan on eating out, but if you cook like I do, I was a little scared to use the pans and cooking spoons
It’s inexpensive and walking distance from eateries, grocery stores, and the bus stop to the beach. The A/C was amazing. I got awesome views of the beach and I even saw 2 quetzals flying away! Host/owner is awesome as well!

United KingdomThe price of laundry was extortionate - $30 for a small bag. For that, it came back dry but not even ironed, or folded.
Great views across the bay. Super sunsets. The space was functional and reasonably clean. Easy access to buses.

United KingdomWe had a fab three night stay here - the amazing views out over the sea are reason enough to stay! We had a small family apartment with two rooms and a big living/kitchen space. Everything worked fine (hot showers, comfy beds, well-equipped kitchen) but it was the view from right outside the apartment and the space outside that made it such great value - we had lounge chairs, a picnic table and hammocks out on our terrace, then there was a fab communal space too. Staff were really friendly and helpful and the location was also good - a 5min walk to the nearest bus stop where the bus to Manuel Antonio/Quepos goes regularly. There were also a couple of supermarkets within a five minute walk which was really useful for self-catering.

CanadaThere can be a lot of ants, just need to make sure not to leave any food laying around even for a few minutes. Nothing else bad to say.
The view is amazing here, we had breakfasts every morning on the patio watching red parrots and toucan fly by. We booked a private apartment and we had so much space to ourselves. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Hot water in the shower was working fine (you'll be taking a lot of showers in costa rica so its a must). Air conditioning was running very well in our bedrooms so perfect at night especially when it gets hot. We had an amazing stay there. Close to Biesanz Beach, less touristy and more chance of seeing monkeys and sloth.

United KingdomThe reception isn't always staffed as they cover the restaurant next door - we didn't know this and couldn't find anyone for a while. Could do with new beds - one was hilariously squeaky.
The apartment was spacious and clean with a well equipped kitchen. It had a blender which we used constantly! The balcony was under construction while we were there but that didn't stop us watching the most beautiful sunsets in the hammocks. The local bus stops really close and there is a supermarket within walking distance. The staff are also very kind and helpful.

United KingdomThe 4 bed dorm was very compact and the hostel was mostly private rooms so there wasn't much atmosphere or getting to know people. The staff were polite but not overly friendly or helpful.
The views from this hostel were incredible. The spacious kitchen was well stocked. The well positioned hammocks made it the perfect location to soak up the Pacific coast sunsets.

Canada- The wifi randomly drops but resets on its own in a few minutes.
This is a lovely place with a breathtaking view! We booked the cabin with kitchen, bathroom and 2 bedrooms. It was simple and all we needed. We enjoyed our stay so much that we extended it by a couple of days. The bedding was surprisingly very comfortable and soft. The staff was very nice and accommodating (especially Jeffrey, Marilou and Marisol). We're more than grateful for the value this place offers. It's a gem for families on a budget, especially when you realize how expensive Costa Rica. There's a really nice restaurant next door that offers a 25% discount for Pura Natura guests. And it's delicious!
