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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United StatesHotel Kokoro is such a special property with beautifully manicured grounds nestled into the jungle. The staff were all very welcoming and so kindl! One of the grounds keepers, Francisco, found us in the pool to show us a sloth resting in a tree just near the mineral baths! He then kindly treated us to fresh coconuts from a tree onsite! He was so gracious and certainly made our final day one for the books! Muchos gracias Francisco!! The rooms were wonderful, big & spacious, each with a nice outdoor space! Breakfast was nice and simple, making for a delicious start to the day! And the location was perfect as Kokoro is just a few minutes drive outside of downtown La Fortuna but also super close to the public hot spring river, just up the road. And the Kokoro mineral baths were incredible! Before arriving, we had considered booking a day at one of fancy & expensive hot spring/spa resorts but there was no need. Kokoro provided such a peaceful & quiet hot spring experience with multiple levels ranging from very hot to more mild temps and a lovely pool to cool off in as well! We would come back to Kokoro & La Fortuna in a heartbeat and would highly recommend this hotel to other travelers looking for a relaxed & calm hotspring experience! We only wish we had more time!!

United StatesThe rooms are quite dark (one lamp didn't have a lightbulb) and the bathrooms didn't feel like they'd had a proper deep clean for a long time (particularly the shower). Lots of mildew. Expected it to be a little cleaner.
AMAZING views!!! The pool was fantastic. Breakfast buffet was a hit with everyone in my family. The AC worked great. We loved how many animals we saw on property! (Sloths, pizotes, agouti, so many birds, toucans, etc). The hot springs were relaxing and lovely but not always "running". Loved that we were basically across the street from the Sloffee Coffee cafe and a quick drive to many restaurants and sights.

United KingdomThere was nothing I didn't like about Kokoro and I will definitely go back if I am in Costa Rica again.
The breakfast was great, the rooms were clean and comfortable and we enjoyed the pool and on-site hot springs. The staff were friendly and helpful, the views of Arenal were magnificent, and we saw a sloth in one of the trees. This was one of my favourite places that we stayed in Costa Rica.

United KingdomThe breakfast was basic. The restaurant claims to be a mix of Costa Rican and Japanese food but we didn't find anything like that on the menu for dinner.
Nice thermal springs and great reception area. Very big spacious family villas. The bonus was we saw a sloth in the hotel grounds and lovely to see the currasows just running around.

LuxembourgEverything had a bit of age and could use a brush-up but still it has Charme.
It is a little paradise with marvelous views to the vulcano from every spot of the compound. Very quiet and relaxing. Gardens well groomed. You are in touch with nature. Rooms are really spacious. We very much enjoyed the hot pools and the swimming pools. Breakfast was much to our likes (fresh fruits and local food). We liked that we had the option of a restaurant after a strenuous day out in nature. It is outside of La Fortuna (you need a car to get into the town) on the road to the national park.

Amazing location and view of the volcano. There was a beautiful yoga spot and sloths and fronts right on the property. The staff (Francisco) were so helpful to point these out. We loved our private cabin and the grounds on the property were incredible. Felt like we were in a tropical oasis.

Costa RicaEven though the hot spring pools were very nice, the experience didn't seem to be consistent throughout the day. During the night the temperature seemed to be more consistent, but early in the morning (~10am), 2 of the 3 were completely empty.
The property is really nice, the room was super spacious, more like a little cabin. The gardens are well kept and we spotted tons of different types of birds. The hot spring pools were nice and relaxing.
