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 reviewGreat price for such a perfect location. Walking distance to the beach, the national park, and a few restaurants. Delicious breakfast right on the beach. Very friendly and helpful staff!
Sliding doors were tricky to lock.

Verified reviewThe place was very cool, easy to find, nice, ample bedrooms with a private balcony, lots of green and trees to look at while listening to the sea. Everyone was very friendly and attentive, service was amazing, and there were even a dog and cat happy to greet us.
This is a Costa Rica thing rather than the property - when taking showers, water temperature abruptly changed to hot/cold, we think based on usage at the property. Something to beware of.

Verified reviewEverything about this place was exceptional. Location is incredible, rooms with huge balcony overlooking the beach - amazing . Staff all great. Bed was comfortable, shower great. Rate this so highly.
A personal preference would be for a vegetarian option on the dinner menu - the restaurant made me a dish on my first night which was lovely

Verified reviewThe room was comfortable and immaculately clean with a powerful A/C. The bathroom was a good size with a nice shower. The room has a little private terrasse which we enjoyed. Also lovely greenery around and very good access to the restaurant and beach. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Dinner was excellent.
We expected more privacy. This hotel is basically a room by the beach and the restaurant is a beach restaurant for anyone.

Verified reviewFantastic. Best location on the west coast! Great staff. Love low key places with a killer location, nice rooms, and friendly staff. Much better than a large resort.
Would be nice to charge meals and drinks to rooms. Outside dining area could use more brick walking paths to keep sand off of feet and sandals after using outside showers.

Verified reviewTHE beach hotel in the Manuel Antonio area. Special sunbeams and umbrellas dedicated to the hotel guests only (and free). Truly enjoyed the beach life. Rooms and open-air restaurant with direct access to the beach. Lots of animals on the beach, hence no need to go to the national park ;)
Room was damp and small. Not an "open space with windows to the green". Ours was adjacent to the kitchen with slamming doors. (allegedly you can ask for the upper floor with a nice veranda while booking - sadly we have learned it only during the check in). Fortunately we could spend the day on the beach.

breakfast could be a bit earlier, didn’t have a chance to enjoy because my adventures had me out be 7:30 am every morning, right when the kitchen opened.

Verified reviewMy stay at Buena Vista was wonderful. The location is unbeatable - just steps from the beach and a short walk to the national park. My room had a big balcony with a lovely view of the beach. There are beach chairs with umbrellas and towels for guests to use. Staff was friendly and very accommodating. They have servers on the beach so you don't have to stop sunbathing to get food or drinks. Room was nice and comfortable.
