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 reviewAlthough very central and close to the beach and a few local bars, the property was tranquil and enclosed in its own beautifully maintained grounds. It was also very close to the stunning Cahuita National Park with fantastic beaches, teaming with wildlife. The pool was a real asset.
Nothing.

Verified reviewThe bungalow we had exceeded our expectations in terms of size and facilities. The photos didn’t do it justice. The pool was a good size and clean. The gardens were beautiful and full of birds and other wildlife (we saw agouti and an armadillo whilst sitting outside the apartment and sloths just outside the gate!). Easy walk into to Cahuita village and into the national park. Even easier and shorter walk to the great Reggae Bar where we listened to live music and to a few other bars / restaurants and to Plata Negra. Martin the owner was extremely helpful. He sorted out a slight issue we had quickly and checked everything was ok with us every day we were there (4 days)
Nothing

Verified reviewThis is the place to be in Cahuita. The owner is very friendly and comes to say hello to all of his guests every day if you happen to meet him at the yard. The hut itself is good, clean and the kitchen is very well equipped. There is a fridge and an A/C in the hut. Also there is always warm water (36-39 celcius) in the shower because there is a very good thermostate. Cabinas Los Tucanes was everything I needed for a one week stay. There is a food store and several restaurants nearby (walking distance for me at least). I can easily recommend this place!
There was not much I didn't like about. A smell in the shower was pretty bad when I turned the water on. Something is down the drain but this was not really a problem to me. The water was perfectly warm anyway.

Verified reviewBeautiful little place in a quiet part, just what we needed. A very nice owner. Perfectly equipped kitchen with everything you may need, even a blender to make smoothies! Lovely pool to cool down. You can see parrots, toucans and colibri birds just by sitting at the patio between all the beautiful plants. We loved everything there. (Photo of the view from our patio.)
