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 KingdomNothing to dislike but the roads aren’t great. But that gives you quiet and isolation. It’s worth it
Rincón Verde was possibly one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever stayed in. The gardens that surround the cabins are beautiful and full of birds. Everyday you are woken by the song of dozens of birds and you fall asleep to the calls of the frogs. It’s a little bit of paradise. The hosts, Victor and Lizabet are wonderfully welcoming and the breakfasts are delicious. The cabins are quiet, comfortable and spotlessly clean.

Very friendly staff. The property is very beautiful, away from the touristy area so you get to relax. And you get to see plenty of animals, birds mostly, passing by. You can also try out the chocolate they produce!

Belgiumgreat location in middle of nature; very clean cabins in a beautiful garden with ponds in front; lots of birds and frogs on daily display. Victor, the host is very helpful and friendly, his wife cooks very good dinners upon request so you don't have to look for restaurants in the evening. Victor is even building a small swimming pool to even improve the premises. Upon Victors suggestion we visited Canu Negra, a beautiful nature resort with lagune with an incredible amount of birds and gators. Also close to the Volcano with its fantastic waterfall

United StatesGooglemaps sends you on truly the worst roads possible - but our host was able to direct us to the super easy road that goes directly to the main road into Bijagua. This is not a problem with the sweet cabinas or the owner, it's a problem with relying on Googlemaps, so offering driving directions that can be printed before we arrive would be handy.
We absolutely loved the quiet setting with the three private cabinas edging the four ponds. The birdlife was wonderful to wake up to and to end the day with. Our hosts were friendly and the shared space was just perfect for breakfast and dinner.

CanadaA wifi booster would be good so that the signal reaches the cabins, other than that I have nothing negative to say.
The property is beautifully kept and the surroundings are peaceful. Many species of birds, including toucans, can be spotted on the grounds, as well as iguanas. Sra. Lizbeth cooks delicious food, and the breakfast was hearty enough to keep us sustained for our 7 km hike through Parque Nacional Volcan Tenorio! Sr. Victor is a gracious host and a good source of knowledge about the area (if you speak Spanish). The cabins are comfortable and are equipped with a little fridge, which is a nice touch. NOTE: do not use Google Maps directions to reach the property, it will take you on a teeth-clenching, potentially rental car destroying ride over a very bumpy, rocky road. Instead, keep going north on Highway 6 after Bijagua, past the gas station and turn right after the El Mirador restaurant. This road is smooth and well graded all the way to Rincon Verde.

CanadaOthers have mentioned the road. it didn’t bother me at all but I drove a 4WD. if you drive in from Bijagua it’s just a normal gravel road you can drive in any car. The road is only bad coming from Rio Celeste. So drive through Bijagua you’ll be totally fine. Its well worth the visit !
The gardens and setting are just gorgeous. The cabins are rustic and private and peaceful. Perfect destination for something out of the ordinary.
