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 pool is on the small side, just big enough to cool off, really. There is plenty of seating around it, though.
This is an older, mom-and-pop style hotel that has its own unique charm - definitely non-cookie cutter. I am a sucker for this kind of place, admittedly. The rooms are in excellent repair, immaculately clean, and better appointed than most. You could say that about the entire property -- pool area, gardens, etc. The food is far better than you would expect from a hotel -- properly cooked eggs, excellent breakfast spread, and some of the best ceviche I've ever had. The restaurant is lovely, outdoors, and serves topnotch food -- we actually had dinner there three times -- it was that good. It also had live music at least one of the nights. The staff are wonderful, as always seems to be the case in Costa Rica, and particularly helpful when I had an injury that required medical attention. The pool area is nice and features a swim-up bar.

AustriaThe bathroom was a bit too small for 2 persons! The variety of selection for the breakfast was limited! Despite the happy hours on a daily basis the prices of the cocktail were expensive,
The staff was really pleasant, the location was ideal to get access to the beach as well as to the park Manuel Antonio!

United StatesAn additional luggage stand would have been helpful. Also more storage space. The ability to use a sheet to cover up on the bed without having a blanket too.
The breakfast was fabulous; a wide variety of food. There was not really anything it lacked. It was within walking distance of the sister hotel we were staying in.

IndiaIt was not clarified that our booking was at espadilla gardens , which is a sister property just across the road from hotel playa espadilla. It would have helped if they clarified it in their communication to us as we were tired after driving long distance and parked at one place, but were told to go to the other property .
Beautiful location. Well maintained rooms. Walking distance the espadilla beach and the manuel antonio national park . Breakfast was nice . Staff was very friendly and welcoming.

SwitzerlandThe fact that we weren’t warned that there are two separate hotels and that they put two hotels under one booking.com. Causes confusion and discourages to go to the restaurant area during the day. One side of the room had a consistent noise of a generator—it vibrated the bed and constantly crashing woke up one of the persons staying in the triple room.
location, the Gardens hotel specifically is super closer to the beach and has a pleasant path to the beach. Take note that the hotel is actually two separate ones. The Gardens one has no restaurants but has access closer access to beach, whilst the other sister hotel has 2 wonderful restaurants but is a bit further away from the beach. The rooms are clean, cozy and unique in the design. The pool area is great. This hotel complex has 2 of the highest rated restaurants in the area. Really recommend Thursday nights at Morpho restaurant that has live music and beach vibes—the evening was magical.

United KingdomThe hotel and grounds were very nice, clean and modern. The pool was great to swim in, and it was lit at night. Around the grounds you can see lots of lizards, birds and monkeys. There was even a monkey on our roof! Food at the restaurant was very nice but a bit expensive, we got free desserts, though, which helped. Very close to the beach and Manuel Antonil National Park.
