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 reviewI loved the cabin like feeling. The lively music during the day & the peaceful nights. I even enjoyed the rooster& conga monkeys waking us up in the morning.

Verified reviewI like to stay at a hotel that has a restaurant and bar on site, which this one did, tho the bar seemed limited. The woman at check-in told me dinner was at 7pm but we were hungry and asked and she cooked dinner for us much earlier as we had missed lunch. The meal was decent. A hearty breakfast was served. The cabin was roomy and comfortable, decent beds and pillows. We also liked the quiet location. It was 4km north of Liberia just off the highway, but was far enough off on a quiet back road that we heard no road noise and it was more rural so no neighbor noise. The property was fenced, plenty of parking. There was a kid themed pool area tho we did not use it
The negative for us was no hot water in the shower. That evening as I was ready to get into it and couldn't get hot water, I did not want to get dressed to complain, so I rinsed off. The following morning my husband wanted hot water for shaving. We told the woman about the problem and she said she would have a guy look at it. No one did, so we never did have hot water, which was annoying. My husband checked the hot water heater behind the cabin and said it appeared to have been off for along time. Perhaps they never have hot water.

Food was way overpriced. They also said that breakfast was available until 11 but were wrapped up when we got there at 10:30.

Verified reviewThe staff was very friendly, the food and drinks were great, they had upbeat, fun music playing during the day (which I felt like created a nice atmosphere), and the cabin was very comfortable! My family and I are very happy we chose to stay here. Also, the staff gave an excellent restraunt recommendation to go to Bar Restaurante Chaparrastique- Restaurante Chaparrastique once the kitchen at the hotel had closed. This restraunt is down the road from Hotel Cabanas La Teca, and, again, we were met with an awesome staff, amazing food, and the drinks were great at this restaurant! Some of the best food we had the entire time we stayed in Costa Rica. I'm super happy with our whole experience! Next trip we definitely want to stay longer than 1 night at Hotel Cabanas La Teca. We stayed here because it's so close to the airport.
No complaints.

Verified reviewwaking up to the sound of so many birds!! Setting reminded me of summer camp facilities.
WIFI was only at the restaurant which was inconvenient especially needing to use google translate. It was farther from town than I thought, actually a ways out on a dirt road which made arriving after dark a little unnerving.

Verified reviewWe needed a place near enough to the Liberia airport to bookend our trip arriving and leaving. This place was perfect. If you appreciate wood craftsmanship in building, you will love these cozy cabanas. They put so many artistic and creative touches into the buildings, the pool area, the grounds that we felt very at home and the pride and fun of creating a family business was felt very much at La Teca. The beds were very comfortable, the pillows and bedding just right. Towels crisp (as they are when they have been hung in the sunshine to dry) La Teca is the type of place where we feel more comfortable that say, a bland beige hotel room in an international chain hotel. We also loved the orange kitten that was hanging around-every private hotel we stayed at in Costa Rica had a hotel kitty whether they wanted one or not. But he was a really sweet guy and he got some pets and snacks from us. These things make us feel like home. Highly recommend this place if you are the down home type of folks like we are. Very family friendly, fenced and gated, super fun pool with waterfall, open lawn and picnic tables, some cabanas have lofts with beds up top and ladders going up. Kids were playing soccer in the the yard until just after dark then it was very quiet all night.

Verified reviewThe rooms were the cutest cabins. They were big and ours had bunk beds and 2 double beds. The garden was so nice, there was a friendly cat, the breakfast was yummy and the pool was fun.
There were no toiletries in the bathroom and our garbage didn’t get taken out after the first night so there were some ants getting at it. The breakfast portions weren’t huge, they were decent but we could have eaten a little more.

Verified reviewI just love staying as I did 5 years ago. The owner is awesome but unfortunately was not here this time. If you’re coming to Liberia and want to stay close to the airport in a super cool spot, this is it. Cold beer upon our arrival is always a bonus.

Location was in middle of nowhere down a long dirt road. I unfortunately had to pay as it was non refundable but I did not stay here. I don't believe that this hotel should even be on Booking.com as it is not up to your standards and is not even a 1 star let alone a 3. This place is surrounded by dirt and currently under construction as well.

Verified reviewThe room was clean and big enough for our family of 5. We had plenty of space to get comfortable. Everything worked really well in our cute private cabin. The breakfast was delicious and was a great portion.
The pool was a little dirty with fallen debris but other than that it was great.
