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.).

BermudaEverything was great
The owners of Monte Los Lirios Lodge, was great. They are my new family in Costa Rica. Breakfast every morning, fresh fruit, fresh coffee served with a big smile. They also help you arrange transport to and from places. Early evening we will be sitting in the kitchen enjoying tea or coffee with some home made bread or a dessert with the owner and their children. One big happy family.I now have a new mom and dad in Costa Rica.

United StatesMy friend and I had a great stay here. The owners are fantastic and are incredibly kind and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and very filling. They asked what types of activities we wanted to do and would set up shuttles that would pick us up from the lodge. They also organized a night tour for us, which was really fun. I loved the location, just a 10 minute walk outside the center, so it was peaceful. Heading the other way, it's a five minute walk to a great restaurant, produce market, large convenience store, and bakery. We didn't have a car and it was never a problem. I enjoyed Monteverde and my stay so much that I booked extra nights there and will be back in a few weeks as well. I highly recommend this place if you're visiting Monteverde.

PanamaHow to get around to the different locations without a rental car, for a senior it would suck to have to walk up and down plus distances to travel. But we aren't hikers. Nothing to do with the lodge we stayed at.
Comfortable, clean and quite. Hosts were very nice and friendly. ACCOMMODATIONS for the rate was suberb. And the breakfasts served two thumbs 👍. Just beautifully!!

Costa RicaA true gem of a place! Located up the hill without any noise from the city center. Beautiful, well maintained house and property. My room was very comfortable and clean. The hosts are the sweetest couple, very accommodating and hospitable. They went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and respond to my needs. They prepare breakfast every morning and helped me with my transportation to the Santa Elena Reserve and Fortuna. It’s like living with your grandparents in the best possible way. I highly recommend this place; especially if you are looking for a home away from home and like to learn about true Costa Rican hospitality.

FranceIt's a bed and breakfast owned by Joaquin and Maria, a couple of senior Ticos very friendly. They always try to help their best. 13 rooms but some are used from long term clients. It's a 5 mn walk from Monteverde center up a small hill. The room I occupied alone has a double bed and one single, was bright with a window looking to the garden, large and the double bed very comfortable. The large bathroom was also naturally well lit from the roof. Hot water. This room is well decorated with paintings from Maria herself. Strong Wi-Fi. There is no noise at all. No dogs, no cars. The breakfast is personally cooked by Joaquin and Maria. It's delicious. This house is completely clean from floor to ceiling. These lovely people can give some tips and help for transportation. Quality and price incredible. They told me they are renovating the family rooms, puting new windows.

CanadaLocation is in Santa Elena, a 10 min uphill walk from town. Furnishings a little dated. Room could use a lamp instead of bright ceiling light always on. Very limited parking on steep'ish short driveway - no problem for SUV 4x4, and I'm nitpicking. Otherwise, excellent service and good value.
Lovely retired Spanish couple hostesses. Very accommodating. Only Spanish speaking and other staff help with translations. Clean room and lots of towels. Good homemade breakfast of your choosing.

United StatesThe room was a bit tight and no views other than tranquil garden plants, and it was often windy but that's just the location. Bathroom leaves a bit to be desired especially for high needs folks like my wife.
The breakfast was a great typical Costa Rican breakfast with fruit, eggs, etc. The coffee was nice and strong and the owners made sure we got what we wanted. The location was great--just a few minutes walk from the center of town. The beds were comfy with enough blankets to stay warm during the cool night. Great mom and pop personalized quiet spot.

United Kingdomwe found our room and bathroom to be very comfortable but there was just a couple of minor things to note: - the room booking did state two double beds but we actually had one double and one single. It wasn’t a problem for us and I think it is probable a matter of language/translation more than anything intentional. - it would have been nice to have a lamp in the room rather than just the central ceiling light. - there’s a bit of a technique to getting warm water in the shower: you have to turn the water flow down and then it warms up
beautifully clean, great value, well situated (a five minute steep walk away from the town), delicious breakfast, lovely owners, comfortable beds with generous amounts of blankets so we spelt really well, hot water shower.
