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 StatesI visited during the hot season, AC worked great in the bedroom with the doors shut, but wasn’t able to cool the living room and kitchen area.
Very helpful and friendly manager, easy to check in, check out, very accommodating! Everything you need for basic cooking, hot water, and very quiet neighborhood. Short 5-20 min walks to the various stores, yoga, bus stop, and restaurants on the main road

SwitzerlandMosquito net over the bed, or a hook for one, would have been nice. Nothing negative about the apartment, but maybe useful: if you need cash and don't have a car, get it beforehand. The nearest atm has very high fees.
Up the hill, conveniently located near the bus station to the beach and park, small supermarket close by. Good wifi. AC in the bedroom.

Great appartment with hot water, A/C, Wi-Fi, everything we needed for our stay. Few mins drive to the beach, in a very central location, steps from a supermarket. Madelyn the host was phenomenal, helping us get tickets to enter the Manuel Antonio park that was fully booked days in advance. Also met with the owner, an amazing person!

United StatesNothing to complain about. The stay was wonderful.
Great little apartment that had everything we needed for our two day exploration of Manuel Antonio and the surrounding area. Easy access to the park and the beach. The kitchen had everything we needed to make dinner and a couple of breakfasts. We really appreciated the apartment and the stay.

PortugalThis is something that seems regular in Costa Rica, not particular about this apartment, but the thermal isolation (specially on doors and windows) is not that good so you usually need to run the AC for a bit longer, or many more times than you would otherwise - this is something that is the owners that end up paying so not really a problem for you but feels like it could be improved.
The host (Madelyn) allowed me to check in a couple hours earlier as the apartment was free and was always super responsive and helpful, she also runs an hostel right on the side and they provide laundry services. The apartment was cleaned and towels/linen changed every other day. The apartment itself was very well equipped, appliances, fridge, stovetop, juice blender, coffee maker, etc was the best I have seen in this type of rentals (which is usually minimal). Wifi was super fast so great if you're working remotely. Felt safe overall, the area is quiet, and monkeys pass by in the mornings. There's a supermarket just up the road and there's plenty of restaurants in walking distance. It's 30/40 min walking to playitas beach. It might seem a lot but it's a nice workout and you'll get to see a lot of wildlife on your way, specially early in the mornings, direct into a nice surf break. There's also buses 5min walking from the place in the main road that do the quepos - manuel antonio park route every 20 min for both ways, for less than a dollar each ride and a couple minutes. Also, the owner one day was going to Manuel Antonio beach and gave me a ride down and back up which was great!

CanadaVery minor concerns at most include: -No couch or living room per se, so we hung out in the bedroom mostly, but it made it difficult to hang out with friends or family in the unit. We mostly went to their place. -Shower was open, so water often escaped onto floor (more of an issue with an energetic kid!) -Additional storage in bathroom would have been useful as the counter top was quite small. At the time of our visit, there was no shelving over the toilet or attached to the walls. Some hooks on the bathroom door would have also been helpful. -Air conditioning was limited to the bedroom - probably not a concern if you liked the heat like my hubby, but my kid and I stayed in the bedroom, rather than at the kitchen table, which we only went to if we were eating. -Hooks on the back of the bedroom door and in the kitchen area would be helpful as we had to drape towels and bathing suits over the chairs in front of the fan to dry in time for next outing. -There was a screen was over the bathroom window, but none on any other windows - we had to close them to control mosquitoes but would have preferred to have more airflow.
Madelyn was a fabulous hostess, always available and helpful (especially with helping us get around) and very sweet. The unit was clean, and cleaning schedule was perfect. Requests for extra towels and blanket were gladly accommodated. Kitchen facilities were good, with everything you needed. There is an extra bunk above one bed compared to the photos. Hanging rod for clothes and large shelves in the bedroom gave a great place to keep all our things out of the way; hangers were also provided. Fan in the kitchen was very useful for drying wet items. Soap and shampoo being provided was very helpful. Location was walkable to the top of the main strip, and near convenience store (super joseth), souvenir shop and decent cheap soda options (soda is a cheap local eatery!) and ice cream place. Great value for a clean unit and a hostess I'd highly recommend.

United StatesThere is no hot water in the bathroom and kitchen sinks. An inconvenience in some of the apartments in Costa Rica. Also, although not their fault, there is a rusted, burned out car on the street by them that detracts from a good neighborhood feel.
Madelyn was an excellent, attentive, and friendly host. She was very helpful with everything in Manuel Antonio. The apartment was spacious and really clean with a balcony. It was close to the big supermarket, Super Joseth, the bus stop for the beach, and casual restaurants. Staff cleaned the apartment every other day! Highly recommend this apartment.

CanadaThere wasn't much choices in kitchen cooking utensils. Just the bare minimum. It would have been nice to have a grater for cheese but I managed with a knife and a couple of things not worth complaining about.
The apartment was quite larg and nicely laid out and it wasn't located too far from a supermarket, restaurants and the beach, by car. Our host Madelyn was superb. She was was quick in responding to our messages. We stayed there 4 nights and although it wasn't necessary, our bedsheets and towels were changed every two days. The AC, fridge and stove work really good. The stove was a bit tricky to get started at the beginning, since we weren't familiar with conviction stoves. There's parking on the street and on the property but it tight to park on the property. We really enjoyed our stay at Aguti Apartments and will certainly stay there again.
