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.).

CanadaThe hotel is really no frills. The room is a place to rest, but not big enough to hang out in.
The location was very nice. Though it's a walk down to the beach, it's removed from super busy area which was nice. The property has lots of wildlife which was super nice. The staff was friendly and helpful. The property was kept very clean and the murals on the property added a very nice touch.

ColombiaThe room was too small for the 4 of us. It was also rather basic for the high price. There was no furniture to lay the suitcases.
Beautiful trees decorate the property and you can see monkeys very close. Well located, near to the beach.

United StatesWe ate at the restaurant on site a couple of times and while the staff were lovely the food was lack luster and bland.
The property is very well kept and nestled into the jungle but still close to beach and activities. The staff was kind and responsive and the room was well suited for our family of three.

Location was great... Walkable distance from Espadilla Beach and Manuel Antonio National Park with supermarkets and eateries close by. Friendly staff. The swimming pool is small but a nice perk to have to splash around while drinking something from the swimming pool bar. Parking is available within the hotel.

United StatesThey have several different wifi networks and when we first arrived none of them wanted to properly connect to our devices. By the time we left there were no problems with using the internet. Additionally, the servings at the restaurant were quite large and honestly not the best food we had in the country, but nonetheless decent.
This hotel is the best a nature lover can find in the Manuel Antonio area. Two species of monkeys on the property every day, a short walk to the beach, and still walking distance from the national park! The location itself was amazing and the staff were very friendly as well! It may be close to the main road but it doesn't feel like it at all. The tropical wall paintings in the rooms and exterior are such a fun detail!

GermanyValue. The pool looks a lot bigger in the pictures than in reality. Breakfast was by far the most expensive we had in Costa Rica. Basic pricing in the bar/restaurant is already above average, then they add service (which we've seen sometimes) and tax (which we've only seen here). Also, they don't have coffee included, you have to pay for every cup, which feels like a rip off as it's unusual in the country. That led to pricing being at least about 30-40 percent higher than anywhere else on our trip in Costa Rica for food and drinks, and that's no fun. There are a couple of much better priced places nearby (we ended up having breakfast at El Avion the other mornings, with a view and normal pricing) but I'd recommend a car. Lastly, the rooms smelled moldy, but that probably can't be helped given the layout and the weather.
Great location, National Park within walking distance and beaches around too. Spacious, clean room with laid-back jungle vibe, friendly staff and great cocktails.

United StatesWiFi is a bit spotty. Our room faced the restaurant area, which at 7am puts some "relaxing music" in an endless loop, which can be pretty annoying. Maybe they could have some quiet time instead. Their breakfast is okay ish, but slow to be served since they have only one person in the kitchen. Maybe plan to go elsewhere. Cocktails and smoothies are great though.
The location is amazing. Located literally next to the Manual Antonio National Park, it sits next to huge trees where monkeys use daily to go for their errands. We saw monkeys simply sitting outside our room, they were closer than the ones we saw in the actual park. Just remember to not leave any food unattended, the cappuccino monkeys have no fear to grab it and then remember your room number for follow up visits. I absolutely loved when a baby monkey sitting on its mom's back both jumped on the roof and looked towards us.

United StatesThis was a turisty location, we choose it because of the access to the beach and to the park was a 10 minute walk. The hotel is on the main road, but was not noise at night besides the howling monkeys in the morning :) The hotel is clean, have a small pool, restaurant on site, and the bus stop was right front of it. We had easy access to the small town and what else would you need on vacation? Monkeys all around, Toucans, and gorgeous plants.
