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.).

BulgariaThere are about 10 peacocks in the garden that start to “sing” at 5am every morning. I guess it was their making period because they sounded like really annoying cats. The bathroom was not very well cleaned, not enough trash cans in the room and lastly you have to use your car everywhere you go as it is far from everything and last 500 meters are dirt road.
The hotel has very well maintained garden, the beds are big and really comfortable, breakfast is very good, staff is friendly. The view from the breakfast room and pool is exceptional!

United StatesKeep in mind they do not do daily housekeeping and you get a discount if you pay in cash.
We enjoyed our stay here, highlights included the view of the volcanos from the breakfast/main pool area, included breakfast, and size of the hotel. The property isn't huge which makes you feel like you've found a hidden gem. We even had what essentially felt like a private spring-fed pool near our room since we were the only ones using it for hours at a time! Beds were comfortable and the staff was friendly. The 'virtual' reception was great and didn't cause any inconvenience or confusion. Check-in went smoothly and the map they provided was helpful.

A very nice hotel, right underneeth the Volcano,, that felt special, and the gardening is beautiful. You really can enjoy the hot springs privately and quietly and with no need of special effects, only just enjoy the peaceful nature!! The ladies who served breakfast were friendly, they served a nice breakfast or helped us with some laundry, but beside that, they coudn't be of any info, for not being able to speak English

Hungarythe gravel that connects the facility to the main road is about 200 m long, but will be asphalt covered soon - I'm sure :)
- breakfast terrace with the ladies who prepared the freshly made breakfast - warm spring water in three small pools - great added bonus - view of the Arenal Volcano - rich bird life in the park-like garden

United KingdomNothing. It suited us well.
Fantastic location. Relaxed atmosphere and not too big and developed. Beautiful garden with lovely hot spring pool to relax in evening. Our room was perfect for us facing into lush jungle on the edge of the site which felt extra special. Friendly staff who were prompt replying to messages.

United StatesIt was hard to find the room at first, no signs.
It right be Arenal Volcano and close to La Fortuna to eat and shop in town. It was close to a lot of the activities. Our room was kind in the back off the pool which was very nice because our patio faced the volcano and landscape. The hot springs pool felt awesome and was clean. The food was good, nothing special but it does not come with the price of the room. The staff was very attentive when we have an outlet that didn’t work, they responded and fixed quickly. The grounds is nice but farm like. They have cattle for milking on the side and peacocks on the motel side. The tap water there was delicious.

Canadacheck in details were sent while we were in transit to the property so I didn't know it was self check in. It would have been better if details were sent a bit further in advance so we could have been a bit better prepared when we arrived.
room was basic but comfortable and clean. Outdoor porch was set up with kitchen which was stocked with coffee, but don't leave food out since there are peacocks on site, which are friendly but will get into the food. Breakfast was big portions and so delicious.

United StatesSet up of bathroom was weird-sink perpendicular to toilet. Place needed hooks for wet towels and bathing suits. Could use a small dining table and a couple of chairs.
Staff was great-breakfast was delightful, -they cleaned our rooms and did laundry. Also helped with translating to obtain taxis and plan excursions. Grounds were beautiful and wildlife spectacular. The pools were wonderful. Shower was powerful and hot.

United StatesDid not have a receptionist or at least when I was there. It would be nice if you had one that speaks English well. Only one person spoke English well. That person was only available during the time if you call the number that booking.com gives you. The pool was warm but I prefer it to be warmer than it was. Taxi costs could add up if you don't have a rental car or somebody to drive you. However, that's the price you pay for being in a quiet location away from La Fortuna.
Room was clean and plumbing worked well. If you like hot water in the shower, it can get very hot if you want. Air conditioning worked well. The grounds were beautiful, and bird life was prolific. Pool was nice. Breakfast was good. Beds were very comfortable. Quiet location. Though the people on the grounds did not speak much English, they were friendly and tried to help me anyway they can. With my little Spanish that I knew, along with them knowing a little English, we were able to communicate what was needed!

GermanyThere isn't really a reception desk or people you can ask questions to. But that wasn't too bad for us, it was all very easy to manage.
Wonderful small, quiet hotel with a great view of Arenal. We enjoyed the hot springs so much, we almost always had the pools to ourselves (unlike the stressful public springs) Highlight: the peacocks that roam the grounds during the day. We went to the wonderful (less frequented) Mirador El Silencio park, which is a 10-minute drive away, and had a sensational (!) coffee in the Rainforest Arenal café next door. We will be back!
