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.).

New ZealandDinner menu in restaurant was average. A kettle in the room to make tea would be great.
We came to see Quetzals and we were not disappointed. Guide that we booked through hotel was excellent. Good rooms with decent bathrooms including baths.

CanadaEverything was good.
Beautiful botanical gardens and diverse bird life surround beautifully designed and appointed cabin style rooms. A dinner of fresh trout from their ponds, complimented by apple products from their orchard, was a special treat. We also took advantage of a quetzal tour with a very good guide, Melvin, and got lots of fabulous photos of this amazing bird.

United StatesI wish driving to the hotel was more relaxed.
We enjoyed the setting of the hotel located in the nature. We were able to hike in the surrounding area. The room has great nature photography on the wall. We can look out to mountain views. The bed is firm and comfortable. The hotel staff are very responsive and provided good on call services, the breakfast was well prepared. We also enjoyed lunch and dinner. One best things was to see a couple of quetzals near the reception area. We were so happy to see those magical birds up close and personal.

United KingdomThe room was rather dated, but I will forgive it for its wonderful hummingbird garden, sweetest staff and delicious breakfast.
We loved the garden the location and the ambience, it was such a welcoming place. The room was basic, but it had a lovely warm aircon /heater and the shower was super hot and strong. Breakfast was also good! Highlight was the 5am quetzal tour with Raoul, he picked us up in his pristine car and was just the loveliest man. That aside he’s got hawk eyes and spotted the quetzal very quickly, we saw the male & female numerous times and it was truly magical (we booked Raoul via the hotel)There were lots of other guides, but none as switched on nor as enthusiastic as him.

United KingdomThere was nothing to fault it on except it is very popular so we couldn't extend our stay.
Brilliant hotel especially if you are into birds especially if you want to see a Quetzal. Rooms were great. Breakfast was fantastic. The guide (part of the family) was knowledgeable, kind and informative. Great trials direct from the hotel. Possibly the best hotel during our 3 week stay in Costa Rica.

Hotel Savegre is a large complex of cabins spread spaciously above the Río Savegre and below the forested mountains. It is a beautiful setting, replete with wildlife, including the spectacular Quetzal. The one thing that particularly stood out throughout the course of our week-long stay was the pleasantness and helpfulness of ALL the staff on site - they were fantastic: great attitude, and wonderfully trained. This is all the more gratifying when one considers that, given the site's distance and isolation from urban areas, most staff must stay on-site in various dormitories, I think working a 3-week on and 1-week off schedule. Despite this hardship, all staff were absolutely exemplary. A wonderful place with wonderful opportunities for exploring nature and the rugged landscape.

Costa RicaNothing that you can't sort out with the staff. Just do your business early: the key here is starting and finishing the days early.
Good breakfast, cozy room, well-priced dinner! The best: the trails, the trees, the birds, the nursery, the night sky. Do book at least one full day (or perhaps two), so you can enjoy the place fully.
