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 reviewReally beautiful room, lovely pool, nice little extras such as laundry, take away menus etc made it all really convenient
As long as you have a vehicle it’s perfect. Not very central but a lovely quiet location.

Verified reviewThe cabin terrace, the pool and the sound of the howler monkeys in the morning. Maite is a very attentive host.
We booked a cabin with two bedrooms, but in fact the cabin has no separated bedrooms. The spaces with the beds are open and separated by the kitchen area.
Dear Guest, Thank you for your review. We sincerely apologize for any confusion regarding our apartment's layout. We understand your frustration if the information wasn't clear enough. We'd like to clarify that the booking platform doesn't offer a specific option to indicate that our units are open-plan (loft-style). However, we've made sure our photographs are as explicit as possible, clearly showing that they are not two separate, enclosed rooms. We deeply regret any inconvenience this may have caused you and offer our sincerest apologies for the misunderstanding. Your feedback is very valuable to us, and we'll take it into consideration as we look for ways to improve the clarity of our information, within the platform's limitations. We hope that despite this issue, you enjoyed your stay with us. Sincerely, Cabañas Lamaite

Verified reviewWhat a wonderfull place in Samara. Very peacefull and a beautiful pool area with chairs, loungebed, nice decorations and paintings. We were welcomed by Maite who is a lovely women and makes you feel at home quickly. Our family had a nice time there. The owner was very helpfull as well when we needed some help with local information in english. we would definitely recommend this place if you like your own little heaven on holidays.
Nothing really. We had a great time. Be prepared for a last kilometer more offroad which floods to a river during heavy rains, but once the rain stopped, we could drive again.

Verified reviewWe absolutely loved our stay here. The garden and wooden apartment are so beautiful and cosy. Everything well maintained. The swimming pool was really great given the temperatures and humidity in the rainy season. The host Maité is so kind as well and any questions are quickly answered. We didn’t realise when making our booking that there are only two apartments so there is a lot of privacy and quiet though the host lives on the property too so always nearby if needed. The walk to town is definitely doable (about 20min) which we did a couple of times but a car is convenient as well. We saw howler monkeys in the trees nearby, lots of birds, coatis and lizards nearby and there lives a scarlet macaw and crocodiles nearby (which unfortunately we didn’t get to see). In short: just book it, you won’t regret.

Verified reviewPleasant and quiet accommodation. Nice welcome from the owner, she brought us banana bread. The pool was perfect for playing with the kids.
Large wooden chairs in the kitchen are not very comfortable to sit on. Also, this was the only accommodation in Costa Rica that lacked coffee in the kitchen (we tried 7 different accommodations). There are also small ants in the kitchen, which immediately find their way into the food. We also found big red ants near the bed. They bit my daughter the first night. After we sprayed the area around the bed with disinfectant, she was fine.

Verified reviewMaite is a super friendly & attentive host. We loved the banana bread as a sweet welcome gesture. Also, the breakfast (10 $) was very tasty! The dogs & cats are friendly, and some enjoy cuddles 😉. We enjoyed the cozy pool area. The spacious cabin as well as the overall compound are held clean & lush with tangible care. Since there are only two cabins for rent, the place is quiet and relaxing.

Verified reviewIt was a value. There are only 2 units and there is a very nice pool and the property is well maintained . Owner is friendly and communicated via WhatsApp even through she speaks Spanish and I don’t. She lives next door so very accessible when we need extra towels.
The location was a little far from town and beach. The house is also basic and have a lot of little ants. ( I know it’s common there) Kitchen is very basic, no oil, salt or paper towel so if I was to cook a meal I would need to buy all that stuff. Also I wish they have some Tupperware to cover the food from the ants

Verified reviewWe spent 1.5 weeks here & loved our vacation! We did not rent a car & walked to town or a beach every day. ( it takes about 25 minutes to walk to town and about 10 minutes to the closest beach). We were greeted with delicious banana bread & a beautiful location. Our children loved the pool & outdoor area! ( especially the cats) Each morning we woke up to howler monkeys & birds! We felt like we were in the middle of the jungle! We had laundry done while here for a small fee which was very convenient! We loved walking to the convenience store for popsicles & any needed groceries. Since there was a stove & fridge we were able to eat at least 2 meals here every day.

Verified reviewReally impressive! Everything was of a really high standard, clean, well looked after and tastefully designed. Beautiful wooden house, nice bathroom (good shower), very comfortable beds and a small but perfectly functional kitchen. We were also treated to some delicious banana cake by the owner. A super pleasant experience!
It would have been nice to have a table with chairs outside in the shade. And maybe some more shade around the pool - the water got very warm during the day and was therefore quite as refreshing as we would have liked. But these are really minor issues - overall we really enjoyed our stay here!
