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 KingdomWe ordered ommelets which took ages to come and quite frankly they were inedible. We complained about them as we didn't eat them but still got charged. Will eat out next time. This let the rest of the hotel down.
The breakfast was not up to standard. Pool was refreshing.

CanadaStaff were friendly, very polite and professional, location was good and it want. I don’t think it is worth the price you pay, e.g is not a matter of paying one dollar but the fact that you have a coffee machine that you have to go down in the reception ask for a capsule etc… unnecessary die the price you pay, it should be provided.

United KingdomMy one and only dislike is the food! It’s one of the worst places I’ve eaten in Costa Rica which is at complete odds with how lovely the rest of this hotel is! Please get a better chef!
This is one of my favourite places to stay in the San Jose area and I absolutely love Santa Ana. Perfect boutique hotel with lovely comfortable rooms.

United StatesHotel was small in size but had so much flair in style. The complementary breakfast had a good variety to choose from. There was a private parking garage. We walked to the Italian restaurant which had amazing food and even found a local sports bar across the street to appease the men we were traveling with. It was close enough to the airport, without being in San Jose itself.

Costa RicaDuring the checkout process, the staff didn't remove the credit voucher. It took a couple of days of following up until it was canceled. I even asked to make sure it was canceled, but it wasn't. Maybe pay more attention to this detail.
Loved all the artwork in the hotel, perfect combination with the Costa Rica feeling, very green, the tree at the entrance, the views, and the European coziness.

United StatesThis is our go to place in San Jose. Easy access to the airport and the freeway to the West coast, as well as shopping, food and the Bank of Costa Rica across the street for easy ATM access. The service is always excellent, and we love the decor. We stayed in the Butterfly room this trip, something we have tried to do in the past and found it was well worth the wait.This is an exceptionally well run establishment.

Beautiful art everywhere I spent most of the morning exploring. The pool is great too. You would never know you were in a big city. All the staff were super helpful and pleasant. They even called my driver to let me know I’d left something behind. Over and beyond. Wonderful.
