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 StatesThe faucet handle in the main bathroom shower was very hard to navigate to get the right temperature. We stayed at a two bedroom villa, but the only seating was in the open air with one table and chairs. It would be nice to add a chair or two in the master so at least you could sit somewhere in air conditioning. The lock to the master bedroom door probably needs to be replaced.
Nice breakfast choices. The property was lovely and felt very secure and tropical. Good size rooms and bathrooms. The location was excellent. Close enough where we could walk into downtown or nearby restaurants. Walking distance to the El Salto rope swing and very close to La Fortuna Waterfall too. Using WhatsApp to communicate with the front desk was very convenient and they were very quick to respond.

United StatesThere was nothing not to like! My husband would like tobsee pancakes on the breakfast menu, but that's about all!
This resort is exceptional in every way. The grounds are beautiful, and we saw monkeys and a yellow-throated toucan in the trees. The rooms are lovely, the beds are so comfortable, and the outdoor kitchen we shared with our kids was a great place to gather for pizza, cocktails, etc. The staff were all extra helpful and friendly, especially Katherine, but everyone was great. Our reservations included a full breakfasr from a menu of diverse and delicious choices. Our group of 10 also had two delicious dinners at the restaurant. The amenities are superb, with two pools and jacuzzis, two paddle tennis courts, a small soccer field, and ping pong. Our family group of 10, ages 8 to 78, were blown away, and would return here eagerly. We saw monkeys and sliths while rafting the Balsa and Parapiqui, more monkeys great birds atMistici Hanging Brudges, "canyoned" which was mostly fun rappelling, and went to a sloth sanctuary tobsee mom's and babies. So much to do and such a nice stay at Hotel Boiutique Casa del Rio!

United KingdomRoom config for a family of 5 was not great with an insecure front door to the family room. Al La Carte breakfast was very very slow and provided less options than a decent standard hotel buffet. Given most are doing trips it’s not an ideal setup.
Lovely grounds surroundings and location.

United StatesThe pescock Cage, but apparently they are rescued peacocks, the owner is a animal lover, and he rescued them from a far were they were being mistreated. That changed my perspective, the cage is still small, dark and depressing.
It’s a very pet friendly hotel, staff is very efficient and warm. Massages are fair in price and good, we almost didn’t even want to leave the place.

So far above our expectations. We tend to stay in moderate hotels when we travel and spend our money elsewhere. This place is phenominal. Absolutely gorgeous. All buildings are camouflaged by jungle and you feel like you are on the show, "White Lotus". The Creek runs through it and you can sleep to water and birds. Ignore the few negative reviews. Everyone worked so hard for us! Rooms excellent and lots of choices at breakfast! Katherine at front desk was so sweet.

United KingdomGreat views of the volcano from the restaurant. Pools were beautiful but hot tub not very hot. The gardens were stunning, well designed and maintained. The hotel maintained a personal feel and communication was easy. The balcony overlooking the rainforest was fabulous. Although room was large there was no hanging space in the wardrobes for shirts/dresses. Breakfast menu was poor and coffee in room was not replenished by housekeeping service - had to ask reception several times.

There were several choices for breakfast, some were tradition Costa Rica breakfast along with an American breakfast. The staff was very helpful and the grounds were lovely.
