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.).

AustraliaIt’s a little far out of town, like a 15 minute walk along the main road.
I had such a fantastic experience here, the owners Dinora and Wilfred went above and beyond to welcome and help me during my stay. The place was absolutely spotless with beautiful gardens and the breakfast there is amazing as well. I highly recommend staying here if you are coming to the region, there’s plenty to do in the area including rio Celeste, tapir valley and other private reserves.

GermanyThere could have been more hammocks to relax and the beds are ok but not very comfy.
One of the most friendly hostel stuff we've ever met. They helped us organizing our trips and gave some more advices what to do around Bijagua. Furthemore, they prepared us a very large and delicious breakfast every morning. There was lots of space in the dorm room to store our luggage. The kitchen was well-equipped.

Super sweet couple that invites you in the guest area of their own house. It is a tranquil place with 2 people taking super good care, making you comfortable and helping you with anything you like to ask but with a relaxt, leaving you to do your thing vibe. The breakfast that is included is the best! Was sad to leave, it is such a nice rural region of Costa Rica, with Rio Celeste entrance within 20 mins drive. Recommended! Night tour was nice and interesting as well!

GermanyThe hostel is a little bit off the centre of Bijagua. This is not a problem as such, it's just not so good to walk there because the street doesn't have any sidewalks.
The hostel is in a very quiet place and the hosts were very friendly. They even prepared breakfast for me. Everything was clean and I had the dorm for myself since I was the only guest on this day. There's also a huge garden.

United StatesThis is such a beautiful property that this married couple has created! It felt like a little piece of paradise in the middle of this town. Staying here was perfect after hiking the Rio Celeste waterfall in Volcan Tenorio National Park. We shared a room with a few other women from Europe and the rooms were comfortable and clean with good air circulation! They offered breakfast and coffee in the morning and I was able to relax with all the birds, their cat, and the husband told me about all the trees and plants that they had growing around their oasis. They had a great area out on the patio with tables and chairs that you can relax and hangout, work, socialize, eat, drink, whatever. Very friendly hospitality and I would absolutely recommend anyone to stay here!

United KingdomThe location of the place is wrong on Apple/Google maps, which is why I walked past it (twice) while searching for it. The place just needs a sign on the road and it would help so much.
Lovely family home, who were friendly and helpful. I was picked up from the bus station on motorbike when I got lost trying to find the house. They had recommendations on places to visit/eat and helped me organise a tour. Spacious bedrooms and decent fans.

Czech RepublicDinora and her family are wonderful people. My stay in Bajagua turned out to be one of those huge, unexpected highlights of the journey. It exceeded my expectations and I even decided to stay extra day and night, because I felt really relaxed and chilled, like at second home thanks to my hosts care. Nature in the biocoridor between Miravalles and Tenorio is so beautiful, fresh and wild and I am not speaking only about NP Río Celeste. Acommodation was perfectly clean. Well equiped kitchen and nice bathroom with hot shower, which was neat after hiking in Tenorio park or after the night tour in the forest. Hosts can help you arrange taxi to the Río Celeste park and plan a night tour to see tapirs, frogs, perezosos and more. They are well informed about schedules of all buses to Cañas, Libreria and to Upala. Brekfeast is amazing and you can take it on the spacious terrace with garden view and get pretty close to wildlife already there, watching birds of all colors and sizes and squirels, while drinking your coffee. I stayed in dorm, the beds are super comfy and there is enough light and fresh air and plenty of outlets.
