Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

SlovakiaWe really enjoyed our stay! The cabin had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing holiday. We especially appreciated the pool and the walking distance to a beautiful beach in the national park. We loved it so much that we ended up extending our stay by a few more days. Highly recommended!

United StatesLocation is excellent, right up the road from the entrance to the National Park, and decent restaurant options are also within walking distance. Cabins are fantastic and now all appear to have air conditioning in the bedroom areas, which is a nice bonus. Pool is refreshing for a morning or afternoon swim, and Staff are accommodating, and very laid back. This was our second time here, and we'll hopefully be back for a third.

United StatesThere really isn’t anything I didn’t like. I enjoyed staying here.
It’s a cute quaint place to stay. It’s minimal, somewhat like glamping, but the grounds are beautiful, the cabins have what you need for small meals and to keep your food (fridge). The shower in the cabin is not “hot” water, but felt perfect for the humid atmosphere of the area. They do provide hot showers as well near reception if that’s what you need. We needed laundry done while we were here and they accommodated that with an extra charge and we were very thankful for the service. It is close to the beach and there are some eateries near by as well within walking distance. The pool was very refreshing after a long day of hiking and sight seeing. The staff is very friendly. I would 100% stay here again if I was in the area.

United StatesWhile it might’ve been nice to have a hot shower in the cabin, there are two hot water showers right on site and the cold water shower was actually refreshing!
I plan to stay just one night at Arboura Eco cabins, but I fell in love with nearly everything about it and extended my stay two more nights. So close to the beach, and nestled in a community with restaurants and a store nearby, all walkable. 👍

United StatesNot much to dislike. I imagine in the busy season noise from guest could be an issue. We were in a cabin above #7 and the guest below kept late hours and was quite loud with pots and pans at weird hours. Fans helped but ceiling fans or more fans would help with the high heat. The pool was clean and the hot shower worked sometimes but it did not matter. Our expectations were low so we were pleasantly surprised at the operation and our choice. If I went back I would probably check out the cost of the cabins with ac. I never thought about it when booking. For a real Pura Vida experience this was a great place!
What you can’t understand is the immersion into wildlife. Loved the Howlers waking us up, the Toucans and Macaws and lots of other wildlife and flora. Mangoes dropping at night were a scare, but we came wanting the experience and got it here. The access to the beach was perfect. Ovi, was very accommodating to help arrange a horseback ride and was always available for questions.

CanadaUnits were a little closer together than some of the places we stayed, likely because Uvita is bigger than some of those places. Lovely none the less.
Great location that is easy to access by car, lots of great sodas nearby and only a short walk to the beach. Well laid out space, it was fun to have an upstairs bedroom in the A-Frame unit.

WiFi great. There was free coffee, oil and salt, and a little kitchen stove to cook on. There is a communal hot shower if you prefer. We had a lovely trip and would definitely stay again
