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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

Only stayed one night as it was convenient for an early flight! It’s great they offer an early shuttle service if you need (10$) ! For the hotel itself - The decor and style inside is really nice! The common area is very cool! The room was very cosy and comfy! I would definitely stay there again! The owners are also very helpful and communicative

IsraelCharming place, much more than I expected from a near-to-the-airport hotel. The room was spacious, very comfortable and beautifully designed with retro style furniture and accessories. The bathroom clean, with good water pressure (a luxury in Costa Rica). The patio and the fully equipped kitchen, very nice breakfast which is available anytime throughout the day- just grab whatever you need from the fridge- makes you feel at home. Free parking right in front of the hotel is very convenient. It's a family business, run by absolutely charming Silvia who grew up in this house, and her sons. They really make you feel like you came to your family. Thank you!

Hot shower, nice interior design, sweet family background story of the property. Breakfast was super flexible and Esteban was very kind and helpful, especially picking us up and dropping us again at the airport. Meticulously clean, comfy bed and bedsheets.

United KingdomReally nice place to spend a couple of nights after landing in Costa Rica. Esteban was so nice and was really helpful. For $5 he will take you to or from the airport. The breakfast is available all day, you can pop some toast in the toaster any time. Lovely garden and communal kitchen area. The bedroom was also really clean. We will stay here again before we fly home from San Jose Make sure you sign the wall :)

Excellent stay! Super clean, well organized, beautiful home and courtyard - great to have supplies in the fridge to make breakfast or a snack at any time of the day. The beds were super comfortable also. Less than 10 mins from the airport and the 10$ shuttle at 4am (it’s $5 before midnight) was very convenient and perfectly on time. We loved the fresh fruit in the morning also! Thanks for the great stay.

CanadaMy room was adorable and was super clean and very comfortable. Wifi was strong and kitchen facilities were easy to use and well organized. Esteban's pre-visit communications were friendly, helpful and efficient and the transfer to and from the airport was prompt and delightful, not to mention generous, convenient and extremely reasonable. I had a wonderful and relaxed overnight stay and would highly recommend Alice Y Juancito as an ideal place to stay for a layover or short stay near San José airport!
