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 reviewSimple but more than sufficient. Breakfast was good
Check in was a bit tricky due to language barrier. We arrived after 6pm and there was some confusion on the room location. We sorted it out but took a short while, especially due to language barrier

Verified reviewPretty grounds, frog pond, birds, and a resident sloth.
No hot water in bathroom sink so had to wash up in cold water although there’s hot water in tub shower (tub didn’t work), Very cold water in pool comes from a spring too cold for me. No hot tub. The restaurant is separate from the hotel.

Verified reviewbeautiful room, large and spacious, clean and simple, really nice, great family room and bathroom size. Breakfast is lovely and LARGE, well worth it.
Pool is amazing, spring water, it is COLD! (and that's fine, just be ready for it). It rained buckets (tremendous thunderstorms) and that's ok, the room held up well.

Verified reviewIt was a great location. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They helped us book a tubing tour, which was so much fun! Close to Tenorio Park entrance and also close to plenty of restaurants. The pool looked great, but we didn’t get to use it. Breakfast was great!

Verified reviewThe gardens and property were beautiful!! The pool was clean as was the room. We were pleasantly surprised that there was a bathtub in the room!! Rare in Costa Rica!! The porch had seating and a hammock outside. There are two restaurants within walking distance and we ate at both.... Good food, service and pricing!!
The pillows and bed could have been more comfortable.... especially the pillows.

Verified review1. Location was perfect for our planned activities. 2. We felt totally integrated into the local (natural) environment. 3. Included breakfast was very good and saved a morning hunt for nourishment. 4. All Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. 5. Lovely pool. 6. Quiet and private. The location is not elegant, just perfect for the area!
1. That we couldn’t stay longer.

Verified reviewVery helpful ands friendly staff. Very good typical Costa Rican breakfast. Comfortable beds. Pretty outdoor space and pool area. Great location for accessing the National Park.
The room was extremely sparse with a small bedside table and few places to lay anything out. A few hooks on the wall would’ve helped a lot as would small reading lamps over the bed versus just one bright overhead light.

Verified reviewGreat location and beautiful landscaping. Very tropical. Pool was great. Staff was excellent. Very good traditional breakfast.
Wi-Fi was only available in the common area where breakfast is served. I was in the room closest to the common area and could not get online. Same can be said for the pool area. I live in Costa Rica and have the main phone service “Kolbi” and still couldn’t get a connection. That’s no fault of theirs. For me, this is a dealbreaker. I wouldn’t stay here again just for that reason. They need to invest into Wi-Fi extenders or it’s a no go.
