How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewVery convenient location for us close to the airport. Lovely grounds and super nice staff. Good breakfast as well
Noisy with airplanes passing overhead often - however that is to be expected with the location close to airport.

Verified reviewThe staff was very friendly and accommodating. They prepared a good dinner for us and made airport transports arrangements for us giving us good local information of traffic and when we should leave for the airport. Our transport was very early in the morning and they arrived right on time and we made it to the airport with no problems. The transport was a private car but it was all comped by the hotel. The hotel grounds were nice and felt safe and secure. We only stayed one night preflight so I don’t have anything to say about the surrounding area.
The room was pretty basic but it was fine for the proximity to the airport and price.

Verified reviewGreat proximity to the airport. Great breakfast, including fruit, gallo pinto, eggs, and bread. We also ate dinner at the hotel and it was excellent. The best part of our stay was the incredible staff at the hotel. Everyone was so friendly, helpful, and kind. They accommodated our dog and helped us find a vet for her. They stored our dog’s huge crate used to fly her to Costa Rica. Beautiful garden with lots of trees. Nice pool area.
Nothing. This hotel is awesome!!

Verified reviewI stay here every time I travel to/from San Jose. The family and staff are friendly, the location is easy to get to and well-known by taxi drivers, it's safe and secure, beautiful property to relax in, many restaurants nearby, and the breakfast and shuttle services are a nice treat.
This time I stayed in room 13 I believe (far right corner, second floor) and the mattress was the least comfortable I have experienced compared to other rooms I stayed in (other mattresses were better), and it would be helpful to have a second table/night stand on the other side of the bed.

There was no sign for the hotel on the street or gate so difficult to find. Bed a bit hard for me.
