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.).

I stayed here towards the end of my trip and had a great time. The suites are a little dated but besides that everywhere is clean and the staff are very kind. I was able to get my laundry back within two hours which was great as I was leaving the next day. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance and the neighbourhood is quiet in the evenings. You are also very close to the main historical district (13mins in a taxi).

United StatesThey really should go back to buffet. Now there are silly annoyances, such as, if I want a pat of butter, I have to wait for someone to bring it to me! In the past, I could have two bowls of fruit, and one scoop of eggs, this time I had to have a predesigned breakfast and snack once I last visited, the sausage meat has changed, so that they are kind of like hotdogs. I was given these and I couldn’t possibly have eaten them. I would never have chosen them to put on my plate had it been a buffet, so, I wasted food. One of the things that I love about this hotel is that they are very ego, conscious and friendly, they recycle everything!
I have been coming to this hotel for over 20 years. The atmosphere is quaint yet sophisticated. The rooms and sweeps are extremely comfortable and well designed and the pool is crystal clear .Even though time in between us, sometimes five years! The one change that they made is that they used to have a buffet breakfast and now they have waiters. personally, I enjoy choosing my own food because I waste less that way.

NetherlandsThe neighborhood was not that great. But inside the hotel you will not notice that. It's a short taxi ride to the city center though, but not much going on there.
Just a tip: the Italian restaurant next door is fantastic!! Great pool, amazing breakfast, super friendly staff. All in all a great start of the holiday.

United StatesThe property is beautiful! Tucked away off the main road, but still close to downtown and the central market. The staff here are fabulous, very helpful. Our rooms (we stayed twice) were perfect, very spacious and comfortable for a group of 4. The pool is wonderful, the food is delicious (try the Refresher smoothie! SO GOOD) and they have a sauna on site. 10/10, would highly recommend staying with La Sábana in San Jose, Costa Rica!
