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 KingdomThere is a generator which was on for a couple of hours so couldn't sleep as so loud. About 11pm music started playing loudly from underneath the building - obviously some people have some drinks and fun but it was so loud we may as well have been in there so didn't sleep at all for a few hours. I did go to reception to try and speak to someone but there was no one there to ask. Barely had any sleep this night due to the above.
Good location.

United KingdomMe and my mum stayed two nights at Sleeping Mountain Arenal and the owner Marvin was the kindest person I met in Costa Rica. He was very helpful, accommodating with everything we asked and just a smiley, warm person. The rooms are great, they have everything you need, comfy beds, great bathroom, everything super clean. The location is in the center of Fortuna so easily accessible to everything.

United KingdomThe family room we stayed in seemed unfinished and needed to be refurbished. There was a pipe in the room that water could be heard flowing down and an excessive smell of bleach. No hot water for showers it was tepid. You could clearly hear talking and noise from the neighbours. Double bed size was small.
The location was good, the host friendly and it had a shared kitchen to use. Good Wi-Fi.

United KingdomI had booked one night to stay with booking, but when I checked in I asked if it was possible to stay 2 nights instead. The man checking me in said yes there’s space and this was fine. The next day I’m doing an activity, and when I look at my phone I have lots of messages and missed calls from the hotel saying I need to have checked out at 11am as they have other guests checking in. i was totally confused as I was told it was fine to stay two nights, so I phoned them but they said my room has now been booked for 4 nights on Booking.com so I have to leave. They then packed all my stuff without my permission and told me to come collect it. I was also told there was no other room in the hotel, so I was essentially being kicked out. I understand that they made a mistake, but I was treated like it was my fault which seemed unfair. The hotel was generally fine and I guess I was unlucky, but it would have been nice if they tried to help me find a room somewhere else. Instead I had to go and stay at a hostel.
Amazing location

United StatesAt the moment - and I stress at the moment because Marvin deserves all tbe credit for trying to resolve the problem - the cleaning staff at the restaurant downstairs lifts and slides heavy furniture starting at 4:45 a.m. for roughly half an hour. Hopefully, this will be resolved soon.
Marvin's hospitality, his willingness to help and the centrality of the location.

United StatesThis was my second time visiting Sleeping Mountain, this time with family. This hotel is the best value with the best staff. Maria and Marvin will help you with every little detail to make your experience in La Fortuna amazing. Maria helped us find tours that were much cheaper than what we could find online, called my husband a taxi, looked up the bus schedule for our return to San José. If you’re nervous about traveling to a new place, you don’t have to worry about anything here. The hosts are excellent!

ColombiaThe reception is upstairs, if you are carrying heavy stuff, make sure you can do it yourself. First I was assigned into a room with a very strong bad smell in the bathroom. No big windows for ventilation which made stronger that smell. When you book a room, make sure the bathroom has a proper ventilation. Then they moved me into another room from which the street noise was stronger as it was over the street. If you don't have sleeping problems, this should be a perfect place for you.
Spacious room with private bathroom and perfect location. They have a place for hanging clothes to dry. Well equipped kitchen and fridge.

United StatesBook it! If this is the price range you’re looking for, stop looking and stay here! Maria and Marvin made this an absolutely wonderful stay for me as a solo female traveler. They were incredibly helpful with everything I needed and I felt very safe. The hotel is in town, so you can walk to everything, but it’s also a fairly quiet street for Costa Rica. The room with AC was definitely worth the minor price difference as I went during the hottest month.
