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.).

United StatesThere were a couple unexpected power outages but they were restored within minutes. The hot springs were nice but not very hot unfortunately. Location is beautiful but very far (30+ mins) from La Fortuna so it makes tours long and inconvenient.
Beautiful property. Cabins were very private and well maintained. Food and amenities were great. Staff was very responsive and helpful booking tours and answering all questions.

United StatesEverything was amazing.
I would give this place 6 stars if I could. They treated us like a 5-star hotel would. So friendly, and wonderful amenities at the hotel: good restaurant, walks, hot springs, pool, night hikes, etc. We loved the room: very clean, comfy bed and pillow, fantastic towel sculptures, beautiful landscaping. I would come back here in a heartbeat.

United StatesThat it poured rain the entire time we were there! It would’ve been nice to have a large umbrella at every room. Also, I wish they didn’t use scented toilet paper. The chemicals in the toilet paper can cause irritation. I had to use my own untreated Kleenex to avoid problems. As an ecologically-oriented Hotel, I think it would be nice to avoid the use of chemicals anyway.
Even though it poured rain the entire time, one of the guides pointed out where we could still watch lots of birds from the open air restaurant in spite of the rain. We saw three types of toucans! The staff was excellent. When we got ready to leave, a staff member noticed we had a flat tire. He and another staff person (Alejandro) immediately jumped in to help inflate the tire, then led us to the tire shop and instructed them to fix it. It’s a lovely property and was our second visit. The staff is very responsive and helpful. And they are quick to arrive with golf carts to take you where you need to go.

Costa RicaHotsprings were on the cold side of the spectrum. They can be used only after 3 pm. Restaurant is expensive, but the portions are huge. No kids menu.
Customer service is awesome. The best I've experienced in a long time. Restaurant food is delicious. The room was pretty, and the internet worked great. The place itself is beautiful.

United StatesThe area is beautiful. You are nestled in the rainforest and within is an organic farm. We saw many different species of birds, including toucans, and we saw a sloth! The restaurant is 5 star, the food is amazing! Both breakfast and dinner were fantastic! The staff is very friendly and welcoming! Definitely recommend, and very family friendly.

Costa RicaThe thermal pools are only open from 4 pm to 9 pm, so we did not get much chance to get in them. We went instead to Arenal Thermal Pools, which are about 30 minutes away by car. Also, I thought we were renting a room in La Fortuna, because that is what I wrote down when searching in Booking, so I feel like Booking did false advertisement. However, the hotel is wonderful.
I loved the service and the thermal waters. The food is pricey but good and very abundant. The rooms were very nice, we were moved to a larger room because the smaller cabins were being remodelled.
