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 StatesEverything was awesome.
Everything was so wonderful! My friend and I had such a fun time at Villa Nautilus and wandering around Tamarindo. Angelie gave amazing recommendations for food and local things to do. She is very knowledgable. The location fabulous and so close to the beach!

United StatesI have no complaints!
The couple that own this property are incredibly inviting, friendly, and helpful. We arrived in Tamarindo with loose ideas of what we wanted to do, but didn't have anything booked. They recommended so many great activities, like a private surf lesson and a catamaran trip and took a lot of the effort of research off of our hands. The property itself is relaxing, secluded, and safe. Still centrally located and easy to walk everywhere in town.

United StatesEverything was wonderful! Agelie and Laurent were lovely hosts- so kind and helpful and communicative. We loved our breakfasts on the terrace- fresh and delicious! The location was great- close enough to the beach and restaurants and shops, but far enough to not hear the noise of the town. The bed was comfy, the room was clean, the property was lovely!

CanadaWish we could have a light outside on after 8pm so we can play cards. If you wanted to stay up you'd need to be in your room or out of the Villa at night. It's kinda hard though because the hosts don't want to deal with people being loud and staying up forever.
Friendly and very helpful hosts! They are there for anything you need. Beds are comfortable. Had cleaning staff everyday. Pool was nice.

United StatesWish there was a full size mirror in the room and more shelving in the bathroom. Also wish there were complimentary coffee and fruit, throughout the day in the restaurant area near the pool.
I loved the guest house and our accommodation! Our studio apartment had everything we needed, a small kitchenette where we prepared food, a comfy couch and coffee table area to relax with a book, and even a small private outdoor area, where I enjoyed hearing the sounds of the birds. The property is quiet and beautiful, while still in a central location in the town of Tamarindo. It is a 5 minute walk to the beach, shopping and restaurants. We received warm service from the owners and staff and a ton of recommendations on where to go to make the best of our stay. We enjoyed having coffee and breakfast at the property too, it was delicious! The pool area is wonderful too, a great place to relax. I can not wait to go again!

We loved our stay at Villa Nautilus. The owners were very accommodating to us traveling with small children. We enjoyed our stay and our son had a lot of fun playing with Lenzo. The location couldn’t have been more perfect and even though it was so close to the main strip it was very quiet. The breakfast was very good-the staff were lovely.

Agélie the owner was the absolute best tour guide of Tamarindo. Great guidance for restaurants and activities. She set up amazing surf lessons for us. Was always very attentive to our needs and also friendly throughout our stay. She does an excellent job keeping things running smoothly for her guest.

BrazilRoom is kind of dark - not a deal breaker but it can be improved. Had to go inside the house to access the room (I expected a private balcony, which is the case for the other room on the same floor)
Everything is super clean, the staff and the owners are very friendly, the breakfast is good and the pool area is lovely. The owner gave us great tips on where to eat and go which helped us a lot.
