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.).

Costa RicaDifficult access to get by your own car because narrow streets and lots of traffic in Escazú. You have to get out of your car if you need to open the main gate because you need to enter the house to press the button to open it. Absolutely not functional during rainy season.
Very nice spot near Escazú and 27 route. Friendly staff. Nice and comfortable room.

United StatesThe front rooms have more traffic noise but are big. The back garden rooms are smaller but mostly quiet and one has a lovely balcony with a hammock, The Sol room.
Lovely people and location. The owners give very individualized and kind care to their guests. Being my first time in Costa Rica I felt very safe and like I could ask anything. The hotel is beautiful, infused with art from Barbara, the co-owner along with her husband Otto. The food and French pressed coffee, for a reasonable price, was delicious.

CanadaNothing! Was sad to leave.
Otto and Barbara were fantastic hosts, and I enjoyed my conversations with them! The place is very homely and welcoming, and the room was cosy with fantastic garden views. If you're on a working vacation, the wifi is great and there's plenty of desk space and common areas to work in such as a beautiful little courtyard and deck out back (decked out with beautiful fairy lights – plus there are lamps in every room, which is amazing if you're weird about overhead lighting like me...) When I needed a safety pin for my dress or corkscrew for my wine, Otto dug one out. Thanks so much for a fantastic stay :)

BulgariaIt was a bit humid inside, but it's probably because of the climate. I think there wasn't an option to pay via post terminal, only cash or via a link online, we had a bit of a struggle with this part but we sorted it out in the end.
The place it's artsy indeed, it has a nice garden, nice common areas and free coffee. Nice view from the window, nice bed, it was clean. There was also a fridge.

Great location for close access to Escazu village, with restaurants, bank ATM, taxi and weekend mercado. The property is safe & well tended, many butterflies and birds can be seen in the front garden and trees on the other side. Enjoyed the art on display and small gift display.

Costa RicaNothing! If you’re a light sleeper then the queen room is closest to the road so there’s a little traffic noise.
Peaceful location in Escazu - lovely tranquil garden and courtyard areas. Homestay feel and arty vibe - loved the collection of bags/bandanas to purchase. The furniture and decoration. Great breakfast. Super friendly staff.
