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.).

Hotel is in walking distance from Manuel Antonio National Park. Very nice small boutique hotel with beautiful small garden and swimming pool. Very good breakfast. Big, clean room with powerful air-conditioning. Highly recommended for couple of nights stay in Manuel Antonio area.

Location was perfect; short walk to the beach and Manuel Antonio. Free breakfast was always fresh and delicious. Quiet hotel allowed us to sleep after a day of activities. Staff was very attentive. Saw a variety of wildlife in nearby trees. Beautiful landscaping for a boutique hotel.

United StatesHonestly it was a perfect stay - understanding it’s a 3 min walk to the beach and to the park. But lots of cute monkeys and Tucans and deer to see.
Great location, super cute and quaint! It was humid but we had air conditioning in the room that was good and worked well! The shower was big and lush! Parking was also great and right out front.

GermanyManuel Antonio is very brisky - beach offers all sports facilities, life music restaurants, street markets etc. Some people warned us before we got there that it might be too touristic. After so many abandoned and sparsely populated areas - we loved to be along other tourists and have a chat here and there.
We choose this hotel because we like boutique hotels - even so you never know what you get. We couln`t have been any happier with our choice. The Vela Boutique hotel met our expectations in any ways. Our two big connected apartments (5&6) were very stylish, spotless clean (on the first and all the other days), the outdoor kitchen facing towards the forest and two balconies were a real germ. Kitchen equipments (also basic groceries like coffee, oil and vinegar salt and pepper were provided, AC worked perfectly, bathroom had all amenities and water power and temperature could perfectly be adjusted. Beds were very comfy - thicker and thinner linen was available. All reception clerks were super friendly and helpful as well as the bartenders and restaurant staff for dinner and breakfast. Location is super - 2 minutes walk to Manuel Antonio (don`t forget to get your tickets in advance) and 2 minutes to the beautiful beach with spectacular sunsets. You can walk on the long beach for nearly one hour. We loved everything and would really like to come back. We can also recommend restaurant Espadilla - ask the reception they may give you a voucher for a bottle of white wine. We loved the food, the setting and the life music. Not on main street - you would`t find it without knowing.

GermanyWe loved this place. Comfy, clean, large rooms. A nice little pool with some shady areas and enough lounge chairs. A bar right next to it. Staff very friendly. Location amazing, in walking distance to the park, the beach, and tons of restaurants and stores. We are pretty big pizza snobs, but the wood-fired brick oven pizza they served us was really good.

United StatesRoom A/C filters need to be changed more frequently; wall paper starting to deteriorate - possbily replace or paint the room with moisture resistant paint. Grounds toward the jungle need to be cut back and better maintained - add a bit of landscaping to cover old HVAC units and distressed or aging strutuctures.
Location was perfect for walking to the National Park and visiting local beaches!

United KingdomNothing really, breakfast was a little basic.
Everything was great. For the price, we could not believe what an incredible location we were in. Looking at the crowds of other tourists piling in and out of buses from Quepos looked so depressing compared with our thirty second walk to either the beautiful beach or Manuel Antonio national park.
