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.).

CanadaJust having to leave. It was such a nice place.
The property was very nice, lots of green grass and spectacular flowers and plants. The units all face Arenal and they are arranged for privacy. The location is great as there are restaurants close by and hot pools are a short drive away. Booking activities through the hotel was easy and the front desk suggested lots to do in the area. We really enjoyed our stay at Villas Vilma.

The location is an absolute treasure! Lovely little two apartment villas which were spacious enough for two people. Beautiful pool area and a fantastic green garden with a fabulous view of the vulcano!

United KingdomWe stayed at Hotel Villas Vilma 4 years ago and were apprehensive about coming back as we didn’t want to spoil our memories from before. We needn’t have worried though as it’s still exactly as it was, with the same high standards and helpful staff. Amazing amount of bird species visit here and most can be viewed from each of the bungalow verandas, overlooking the garden. This time the cloud wasn’t playing ball but the view of the volcano is excellent when not covered by cloud. We have stayed in more expensive accommodations than here but the standard is as good as it gets, in my opinion and exceeds many of the more expensive stays we’ve had. Whether you want to relax and watch the birds or use it as a base for exploring the area, I would not hesitate to recommend a stay at Hotel Villas Vilma. It Matt (from England)

AustraliaIf you do not have a car it is about 20-25 mins walk into town. Fine for us but good to know.
A beautiful place set back from town so feels like a peaceful haven when you arrive. Gardens are immaculate and there is a great pool area for relaxation after trips. Hummingbirds and lots of other birds right on your patio. The staff were really helpful and assisted us with bookings and telephone enquiries.

SwitzerlandAbsolutely nothing. It was perfect.
The location is great. Not too far from town and far enough to feel you are somewhere special. There are plenty of restaurants around the area for dinner too (you don’t even need to go to town to find somewhere excellent to eat: highly recommended the soda opposite Villas Vilma and the Caribbean restaurant were two favourites). The amount of birds is incredible. We were able to watch toucans, humming birds and many others from our balcony. When the weather was nice we also had ana amazing view of the volcano. The staff were so friendly. Adriana in particular was so welcoming and lovely. The facilities were fab: hot tub with a pool and the rooms are equipped with everything you need, especially a new batch of coffee every day. I would stay there again. It’s a wonderful little oasis of greenery and wild life just outside of town.

United KingdomOnly downside would be that it was a tad far from town, about a 20-25min walk but obviously you then gain the beautiful views!
We had a lovely stay here, the room was big, had an AC and a fan, the pool and grounds are beautiful. The best thing about the hotel is the helpful staff who organised all of our activities, travel and helped us set up a SIM card. Sadly we didn’t get to see full view of the volcano as it was cloudy but it is a great location to see it and about a 20 min walking into town or a short taxi. Would recommend!
