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.).

CuraçaoPlease change the towels, they were full of lint. Preferably 2 kitchen towels and a kitchen roll in the kitchen. We cooked most days and needed these. Preferably a small paper waste basket in the sleeping rooms and if possible a small blocnote with pencil. Every two days sweep the floors.
The cozyness of the Superior Suit, the breakfast and the friendly staff. We also liked the neighbourhood in which the hotel is situated. It is very quiet, tranquil with little traffic.

United StatesNothing, it was great!
This hotel was a great place to stay after a long flight and before our "adventure" started. The breakfast included cold and hot made to order dishes, which pleased everyone in my family. The pool was a lovely break from the heat and clean. Our room was spacious and clean. The hotel was close enough to walk to the park and Central Market. It was a great stopping over spot for us.

United KingdomThe only thing we didn't particularly appreciate was the difficulty in finding the place! Even when we were 'guided' there by a local from the car hire company who lived nearby, he still had to get out and ask people in the street where it was. It would be useful to give more specific directions on the booking.com page.
Suites Cristina offers very spacious and comfortable apartments. The staff were all very helpful and we felt relaxed there. A tasty breakfast was served next to the pool and offered many different options, hot and cold. Surprisingly, it turned out to be the only place we stayed (out of seven) on our Costa Rica holiday which provided a full breakfast buffet selection. We also ate dinner in the restaurant one evening (a good quality place open to the public as well) and this turned out to be a very good meal at a reasonable price. Overall a very pleasant experience.

United StatesSome street noises, but where your room is located could effect that.
We had a nice sized two bedroom two bath suite that was great in size, comfort and value. The staff here was beyond great, very pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was delicious, made to order eggs and omletts and other tasty treats. One could stay here for weeks or longer in how it was equipped, good sized kitchen and living spaces.

United StatesThe booking.com description of the Superior Suite says there’s a washer/dryer in the room. Actually the washer / dryers are in a separate laundry room. Half the washers are broken, and the tokens are very expensive - $12 for one load DIY. That was the only downside.
We’ve been to Suites Cristina 3 times in the past 8 years. The large 2bdrm/2 bath apartments are excellent, as is the free breakfast and staff. All our needs are attended to.

We highly recommend Suites Cristina for anyone needing a hotel in San Jose CR. We’ve been there several times in the last 8 years and it’s always our favorite. All rooms are apartment style, the free breakfast is made to order, the pool is lovely and quiet, the Italian restaurant L’Olio is wonderful. The staff rented us a car that was delivered. There are self serve washers and dryers and a large exercise room.

Room cleaned each day unless you requested otherwise. Suites were spacious with own fridge and microwave. Pool was clean and breakfast was taken in the pool area. Costa Rican options were available if wanted. 5 mins walk from Sabana Park and 10 mins from National Stadium.

It was close to the park, so we went for a walk in the morning, and the staff were very friendly. Breakfast was also better than expected— overall, great stay,
