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.).

Costa RicaThe river road is bumpy and rough, but this is Costa Rica.
Beautiful gardens, very pleasant staff, cold air conditioning, the Rancho and gas grill were excellent. Hearing howler monkeys and being across from the river for easy access was nice. Dominical has a lot of very nice restaurants. Overall, the cabinas and grounds were nicer than advertised.

This is a gem of a find in Dominical. If you want a clean quiet and picturesque place it will meet your expectsations. Nothing fancy but lovely and the friendliness of the staff is a bonus.

CanadaI LOVED the pool, large, clean - so refreshing, and great AC. The location is in a sweet spot - easy to get to, secluded from the business, yet close (just a few minutes) to drive back into town. Parking lot for guests. We took the smaller bungalow with patio for 6 days. It was fine. It was all we needed. May try one of the larger rooms next time. The shared kitchen area is plenty big.

United StatesI spent a couple weeks at this spot on 2 different occasions and both cabins were fabulous. I will absolutely stay here again when visiting Dominical. Location is excellent, right off the River Baru. I enjoyed the < 1 mile walk into downtown down the gravel road, but if it's not your thing, I also had no trouble getting Ubers from this location. Family owned and run, which adds to the charm. Had the best time!

CanadaShower in our room was a bit of a challenge. If not changed, I recommend having a little instructions like plasticized on the wall. Just that the handle that looks like it changes temperature, has one position with decent water pressure…if slightly off, water pressure is more weak. Temperature change is on the shower head. But the hot was too hot and the midway was too cold; but other than that everything was excellent
Clean, nice, friendly staff. Really nice poll great place to land. Under 20 minute walk into town along the river. Great friendly staff and warm environment overall.

United KingdomKitchen was reasonably stocked with utensils although the knives were fairly blunt. Could have done with some basics such as pepper and cooking oil.
Good communication beforehand including a link on waze. Lovely large apartment set in nice grounds with a small kitchen area. As slightly out of town very quiet at night which is great. Walk into town was only about 15 mins so close enough to restaurants, supermarkets and activities. Slept really well here. Nice to have air conditioning. The pool was very welcome to relax in.

United KingdomHeads up - essentials (coffee!) not provided so bring your own coffee/food.
We loved this place. A short flat walk or even shorter drive into 'town'. We had a little 'blue house' and we had everything we needed including a lovely sofa overlooking the pool area. This was our final place after 4 weeks in CR and the first time we'd had a pool to use. We really enjoyed the pool space!
