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 StatesThe dinner buffet could have been better, but very good considering it’s a buffet. I would suggest ordering from menu for better quality. Regardless, the service and staff were excellent.
Excellent location very close to volcano. The hot spring pools with different temperatures were above expectations. Beautiful vegetation throughout the grounds.

United StatesWe did want to take a swim and enjoy a mimosa before our 12:00 check out but unfortunately they don’t serve alcohol at the swim up bar until after 11.
For breakfast there were choices of cereal, yogurt, fresh fruit, meats and cheeses, pancakes, eggs, sausage, plantain, and the Costa Rican rice. They also had coffee, and juices. The staff always went above and beyond and the spa was a dream! I highly recommended getting a massage then dipping into one of the 7 hot spring pools, you will feel like a new person!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time staying at Paradise Hot Springs. The hot springs are wonderful. The food is great. We stayed in the best room on the resort which I think was room 31. It had an unobstructed view of the volcano, a private balcony up top with a hot tub. We’re definitely staying there again when we come back to La Fortuna. We forgot our wireless Bose speaker in our room and the staff at Paradise had it sent to Tamarindo the very next day. They went above and beyond for us and we are very thankful!

United StatesDay pass visitors overran the property at times. When buses of visitors came they changed the whole ambiance of the place and probably outnumbered guests 10 to 1. Usable peaceful hot spring times were very limited to early mornings and late evening.
Staff was friendly, housekeeping was good, property was kept very clean and during non pass hours it was very peaceful and serene. Breakfast was simple but had tasty options for everyone.

United StatesSecond time here, Paradise does not disappoint!! This is our destination place for hot springs!! Paradise is located near other hot springs that offer day passes (Paradise offers day passes too), something we were going try during this trip. However, Paradise had everything we needed and more; we had no desire to leave the property. The room accommodations are extremely comfortable, clean (and I am a clean/neat freak) and spacious. My husband loves the TV that you can actually see. The room layout and the bathroom area is practical and utilizes space efficiently. For two people, we highly recommend the junior suites. The staff is stellar; gracious, helpful, friendly and polite. EVERYTHING worked - from the WiFi to the hot showers. The included hot breakfast is plentiful, with a variety of options AND they offer a different variety daily. The swim up bar provided great drinks and lunch options. Room service at night spoiled us completely!! The various hot springs pools are clean, well appointed and absolutely amazing!! They are strategically located close to the rooms, with plant barriers for privacy. All in all a consistent, amazing experience. As usual, we wanted to stay much longer.... HIGHLY recommended to all.....this is truly PARADISE on earth!!!!

United StatesThe food. The restaurant menu is poor quality. Exact same breakfast daily and the quality is below low. Some of the reception staff are pretty rude and do not seem to want to help. They are very introverted and seem almost afraid to be approached for some who is in the hospitality business. Not very outgoing.
The location is excellent. The facility is nice, cozy, and charming. Loved the pools. Not worth a day pass. Best to just stay. The spa facility was amazing due to Ana Molina's amazing experience and dedication. Ana (my masseuse) was absolutely wonderful. She really made my stay and trip a memorable one.

United Statesfor a younger couple, we wished there was more of a night life at the pool/bar, as everything closed at 9. we would have enjoyed the amenities there rather than leaving to go off-site.
Great location (close to volcano, zip lining, and rio Celeste waterfall), beautiful landscape, and warm hot spring pools. also amazing view of the volcano from the top deck.

Excellent breakfast. The design of the hot springs was done very nicely. Felt like you could find your own private spot, never felt crowded, good drinks at the swim-up bar. The spa treatment was relaxing and professional. The room was very nice and clean, with a huge bathroom and very comfortable bed.

Israelrestaurant was a big expensive but other than that we were very happy with our stay!
We were originally in the junior suite which was lovely with a great view from the roof. However, we found that a surprising number of ants were coming in (more than what you would expect being out in the jungle). The hotel staff were very accommodating and came to spray but it didn't really help. There was also a weird smell coming from the construction they are doing to make a viewpoint to the volcano. That being said, when we told the staff about these issues, they were nothing short of AMAZING. they offered us to upgrade for free to a nicer room without any ant issues and further away from the smell. We also were offered free massages. they truly went above and beyond to make it right. Also, the facilities in general are amazing. The staff was so nice, the hot springs were the best way to end the day, the gym was awesome, the restaurant was nice. We truly had an amazing time. and the ceviche at the restaurant was the best I've ever had in my life
