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 reviewYou are treated as part of their family. The bungalows are beatiful. You are part of the nature even when you are inside. It has glass almost everywere. The Jacuzzi is a plus when you come back from tours and walking all day.

Verified reviewLoved the seclusion of the bungalow and the overall set up! We loved the hot tub feature on the deck!
We loved everything about it! We got there when it was raining, so could not truly see the beauty of the property. In the morning before we left, we were able to look around.

Verified reviewThe hottub was nice.
No cleaning during your stay. Especially for the bathroom/toilet it would have been nice if there was a basic “cleaning service”. Also limited cooking possibilities. No microwave even though it was mentioned.

Verified reviewBeautiful location, quite a long way out of La Fortuna but that suited us as we wanted remote. The grounds as just amazing, very well maintained gardens, and we loved sitting in the outside kitchen area watching the hummingbirds with a morning coffee. Didn't use the hot tub but it seemed like a nice luxury to offer. Breakfast was good. Rooms had everything you needed. Loved our stay there!
If you are planning on doing a lot of activities around La Fortuna/Arenal be aware that this property is a 20min drive away from anything (on fairly busy, pot-holed roads). (We were happy with that but might catch others out.)

Verified reviewBeautiful location, just a bit outside of Arenal, which gave us some more chill time. The room was a bit old, but still really nice. The staff was super helpful and welcoming.
Nothing to point.

Verified reviewLocation was great, close to everything that I had booked. Very good communication, quick replies. The manager/owner went out of his way to come by the property with a card reader for payment. He then suggested a few options for excursions.

Verified reviewThe bungalow is super cozy, AC works perfectly and has all the facilities need for a relax stay. My bungalow had 2 king size beds but we used only one, it’s great for maybe a group of 4 persons too. The hot tub also was great and perfect for a day after a lot of hikes. The view, the colors, the green areas, are beautiful and give a excelente view from the bungalow terrace.
Nothing, all was perfect!

Verified reviewI can't say enough good things about Bungalows Las Iguanas — this place is truly a hidden gem within a 20-minute drive from La Fortuna, Costa Rica! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and hospitality by the incredible hosts, who went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Their local knowledge, helpful recommendations, and genuine kindness made us feel right at home. The bungalows themselves are charming, clean, and perfectly nestled in nature. The beds were comfortable and the cabin was tucked into a quiet section of forest for a restful sleep. Parking on site was a breeze, Wi-Fi was fast for checking emails, and the kitchen was well equipped with a Costa Rican coffee maker, refrigerator, kettle, and even a rice cooker. The shower was warm and towels were plentiful. We could hear nearby horses and roosters, and enjoyed the natural wonders of the property within a quick walk. We loved seeing the banana trees! Waking up to the sounds of the jungle, sipping tea on the patio, and enjoying the hot tub every night was an experience us three girls will never forget. We felt safe on the property, and enjoyed the privacy this space offered compared to other properties we considered. Not to mention, we were well fed! The complimentary breakfast was absolutely delicious every single morning — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared by our hostess. It was the perfect way to start each day. If you're looking for a peaceful, authentic, and unforgettable stay in Costa Rica, Bungalows Las Iguanas is it. We can't wait to come back for another girl’s trip in the near future! Places we recommend: Two Little Monkeys chocolate farm experience Nanku Restaurant for lunch Spectacolar Cantina for dinner and karaoke La Cascada El Salto for a rope swing and swimming experience Vita Café for the best coffee around Restaurante Los Rodríguez for a soda you won’t forget El Choyin hot springs – go in the morning!
There was truly nothing more we could ask from the hosts!

Verified reviewBreakfast was good. We used a rental car to navigate to La Fortuna which was about a 15-25 min drive depending on where you were going. The room was very clean. Our bungalow was the one with the pool which was closest to the street. I would definitely rent from them again, but would choose one further off the road (any of the others) due to noise from cars driving by at night. However, I am a very light sleeper. Very friendly staff! The bungalow itself is adorable and is super close to a few restaurants and a grocery store (closer than La Fortuna).
