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.).

FranceThe lack of AC, the camera in the dorm, the old bathroom
The swimming pool is awesome! The new bathrooms are perfect,the old ones should be renovated. The room was okay but it was a bit hot as the dorm was full and just fans, no AC but it was okay

It's a very nice place with a beautyful outside area with a pool to cool down. Also the covered rooftop with a lotof possibilities to hang out is amazing. There's a restaurant next to the hostel with a connection so you can order food from inside the hostel and eat at the pool.

FinlandIn shower I could’t get hot water, but it was warm enough because wheather was do hot.
Nice garden and pool. Shared kitchen look good as well, but I ate often in restaurant what was very good and there was excellent service. Just some blocks to the beach street and good grozery very near. Room was OK. The air-condition was necessary cause it was 30C+ whole week. Friger in the room was very nice. All tours and transfer pick from Quepos so it’s good option for Manuel Antonio.

United KingdomElectric socket was too far up the bedroom wall so my adaptor usually fell out of it. I didn't notice another point. Only 2 fridges in the kitchen; it would be great if they added a 3rd. No hot water in the showers - I didn't see this on the booking page, but a follow-up email from the hostel stated as such. Check-in lady said she thought there was warm water - there definitely wasn't, so washing hair wasn't the nicest. Slightly strange system that once you've made the booking, you need to confirm the booking via Whatsapp 3 days prior to arrival. I booked just 1 day ahead, and then had to immediately confirm. Don't expect an early check-in if you take an early bus, even if rooms are available. You can leave luggage in the storage room though.
I booked a private room which was basic but fine. Pedestal fan provided. Swimming pool was very warm and clean. Huge communal kitchen with plenty of crockery, cutlery, pans etc. Nice supermarket one street away. Unusually for a Costa Rica hostel, they accept card payment !

It’s a really amazing hostel with a very nice pool and common area to chill in, the kitchen is probably the best of any hostel I’ve been to, very well equipped and spacious and beautiful. Rooms are quite simple, but there’s lockers! Lots of shared bathrooms and staff very helpful. Perfectly situated in Quepos.

The initial impressions were not the best – the dorms are too warm (helps leaving the door open), sockets to charge electronics weirdly inside the lockers, and bathrooms neither the best or the cleanest. However, the staff (everyone from receptionists, security, cleaning to those working at the on-site restobar) and the common areas (stunning well-maintained pool and garden, big TV/reading terrace, superb kitchen) were so great that I ended up extending my stay. Even with some shortcomings, it would definitely be my choice if ever in the area again.

United StatesStaff could be much more engaging. No eye contact by Costa Ricans is the antithesis of those whom I met in my 7 months living down south. Incessant construction right above the pool. When it started, you couldn't have a conversation with the person next to you.
It has a pool and a restaurant attached.

ItalyNo A/C in the rooms, only the fan on the ceiling, which means that if you are in the bottom bed there is no air. Cleanliness may improve in both the bathroom and the kitchen. The latter when I arrive was perfect but through the days it became a bit dirty
Staff is friendly and helpful, the space is beautiful and wide, with a lot of plants and a wonderful swimming pool. The kitchen is well equipped, the bathrooms are okay, and the room as well. The location was handy, it’s in the Main Street and very close to the supermarket, the farmers’ market and the sea

United StatesThe construction noise from them adding onto their property is not ok. It seems they will keep working for at least another 6 months. The apartment could only be locked with a padlock which is a MAJOR safety hazard if there is a fire during the night. The shower is very worn and needs to be redone. There were pest droppings on top shelves in the kitchen cabinets. Otherwise the apartment was clean and comfortable.
Awesome pool and great restaurant on the premises. Nice cold AC in all the rooms (we rented the 2 br apartment. Apartment is roomy. Staff was very nice and accommodating.location is surprisingly quiet at night.
