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.).

It was like something out of the movies! The location was beautiful with breathtaking views. The room was very clean and also had incredible views. It was the perfect getaway for our honeymoon. It was also great that it was so close to quepos as we were able to do some offshore fishing. The wildlife in the mornings was fun to watch. The staff were all very friendly. Would highly recommend this location and can't wait to go back!

The views are amazing! Private little beach down the mountain felt secluded. The breakfast was wonderful. Large rooms with tubs!!

The hotel is beautiful, the view from our room was amazing and we saw all kinds of birds (Macaws, Toucans, etc.) and monkeys while eating breakfast. The staff were friendly, efficient and went out of their way to make sure we were having a good time. Thank you Julia, Randal, Gaston, & front desk lady (can't remember her name). The food in the restaurant was delicious. We went fishing and brought the fish back with us and the chef cooked it for us. For a short visit or a longer stay (as we did) this is the hotel to book!

United StatesOur room was right off of the dining room. While it was conveniently located to dining, pool, exit, spa, it was also very loud specifically during meal times and I wasn’t able to sleep in as I like to do on vaca because staff starts loudly setting up breakfast around 5:45 every day. The beach is beautiful, but as many have posted before, it’s a brutal walk (pretty much straight downhill to the beach and straight uphill coming back). If you brave the trail, wear good shoes and take water! Overall, service was great, but there were times we were in the pool area and it lacked.
Beautiful views, quiet/not over crowded at all, staff was attentive for the most part. Pool was super deep and great for swimming or soaking. Plenty of seating to suit all guests at the pool. Daily visits by monkeys, macaws, iguanas, and toucans—loved soaking in the pool, watching them in their natural habitats! Included breakfast was fresh and delicious. All meals we ate at the restaurant were yummy!

CanadaA bit overpriced for the property. I asked the hotel to book a taxi for me for 2 excursions and ended up being overcharged for services, driver told me that the prices were set by the hotel not him.
Beautiful property and rooms, views were incredible. Workers were very kind and helpful. Located in walking distance to playa biesanz.

United KingdomThe location is a bit awkward since it’s on a hill under Manuel Antonio village meaning that you need either car/taxi to get to restaurants/shops or hike up the hill (took us 20 mins of a good cardio) on a road that’s not lit properly in the night. The place tries to remedy this with a free shuttle service that takes you up to the town or to the beach nearby however the shuttle only runs until 4pm so you still need to deal with the hill going to/from dinner.
We loved the views from the hotel - especially from the breakfast/pool area (exactly as shown on the pictures). We even saw parrots flying around and few iguanas chilling around the property. Our room was spacious, well equipped (including jacuzzi) and also with a beautiful view. Breakfast was good though only with one choice of meal every day.
