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 reviewElisa and her mother were wonderful hosts! Extremely friendly, have great local recommendations and made me feel welcome as part of the family straight away. The house is very peaceful and a great place to relax, with easy access to Playa Negra, several local bars and a short walk to the centre of Cahuita and Cahuita National Park. You can see numerous animals in the surroundings (I saw a little Capybara 🥹). Casa Aldirica is a fantastic place to stay and I would whole-heartedly recommend it! Pura Vida 😊

Verified reviewThe location is just the best-- RIGHT near the black sand beach and then a walking distance from other beaches and restaurants. Staff was really helpful in providing tour companies and personal numbers for booking excursions. Cute animals around the property- cats, agutis, toucans, and iguanas.
Nothing was bad really, except we were given glasses of water that wasn't clean to drink
Lauren really forgive me, but I didn't notice. I always wash everything but here the water has a lot of lime and sometimes it leaves a white halo, sorry again.

Verified reviewLovely place, beautiful guesthouse with very kind and helpful hosts. Perfect location by Playa Negra. Nice garden, hammocks on the shared wrap around upper veranda. Very clean and serene. Nice touches like a shared refrigerator and coffee maker. Excellent value. Would definitely recommend and will absolutely return!
Nothing negative, but a couple of things to note... More of a personal preference thing, but I found the mattress a bit too firm for my taste. Also, while the other guests there were nice and quiet, you can hear through the walls, so this is not a place for parties or overly passionate couples!

Verified reviewIt’s a clean authentic place a few steps away from Playa Negra. Elisa, the owner of Casa Aldirica, is very nice and friendly (and her mom as well). The house is surrounded by tropical trees. There are several cats who walk around the house. A family of guatusa (agouti) lives nearby. They visit the property pretty often. I also heard howler monkeys every night. My husband and I both enjoyed our stay at Elisa’s house. If we’re coming back to the Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica, we will definitely try to book Casa Aldirica again.
Of course, it’s not the owner’s fault, but there’s a crazy rooster nearby. He starts crowing in the middle of the night, and won’t shut up until sunrise. The rooster crows so loudly that earplugs don’t help. Consider this info if you’re a light sleeper. During my stay, there were some issues with water pump. It wasn’t a big deal.

Verified reviewExcellent location to relax and enjoy peace and quiet. It’s a birder’s paradise with lots of birds and wildlife visible from the deck and beautiful garden. Owner is very nice, attentive and helpful. Just renovated with good taste and mosquito screens so you can sleep with windows open and hear the wildlife and the waves.
A 15 minutes walk from the city center and park entrance, not a problem for us though…
