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 reviewLocated few minutes walk from the main road, supermarkets and caffè but yet very quiet. Each room have their own balcony/terrace with hammock. There is a common kitchen, but it closes at 9pm and open around 8 am.
Do not expect a fancy room, the room is basic but very comfortable. The kitchen closes early so if you come back with a leftover food, you will have to wait until the morning to put it in the fridge.

Verified reviewVery good location. 3mins walk from main road, so it was very close but still nice and quiet. Staff very friendly. Very clean. Fan rather than AC.
Perhaps noise of people from other cabins walking around on phones (since no windows only shutters).

Verified review- Good located - Very friendly staff - Could check in earlier - Nice garden
- Was not the cleanest (had hairs of different people in the room and in the bed - no real windows but mosquito gitter, due to this is was quite loud / not the highest amount of privacy - I would have loved more possibilities to charge your phone

Verified reviewThe staff was very friendly and even helped us exchanging money when the local exchange office ran out of dollars. The location is relatively quiet even though it’s just one block away from the vibrant town center. The accommodations are properly ventilated which eliminated the need for airconditioning. They were clean though slightly outdated.
We had bats in our room when we came back from diner before the first night. Although it was quite scary, the staff helped us immediately and offered us a different room. This room room did however not have the double bed and terrace we booked. Both rooms had swings in the internet quality in the rooms. We sometimes were forced to sit at the reception to have a proper connection.

Verified reviewLocation was very good, close to the shops, market, locals, beach.
No intimacy. You could hear everything what was happening next door. The kitchen was not open all the time. In the morning we could,t make the breakfast because we were not able to reach the food in the fridge.

Verified reviewLocation - Right in the middle of Puerto Viejo.
We found a dead lizard in the floor of the bedroom, a cockroach inside the mosquito net, an spider in the toilet.. While it is understandable to find wildlife in Costa Rica, there was too many animals inside the room as it is not well isolated. It was not cheap at all to get this experience, but I recommend to pay some more and avoid this place (we were heavily bitten by mosquitos, much more than in any other lodge in Costa Rica). On top, staff was not helpful at all, they forgot to bring us towels and kept our change, and did not clean the room the days we were there..
