Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesWhile the style of the chalet is rustic, the upstairs carpet could use replacing. However, the price reflects the condition and overall it was a great value for the 6 of us to stay with plenty of space.
The drive to the hotel was beautiful. We were surprised to find the location was within walking distance to shops and restaurants. The included morning breakfast was typical of all the local foods. The staff is very kind and friendly.

United StatesThere was nothing that we did not like about our stay. Visitors should keep in mind that all conservation-oriented guesthouses will have limitations on hot water use.
Cozy room, magical grounds, delicious breakfast included. Very convenient location - just a few steps to the center of the village: close enough for easy access, but far enough from traffic. Wished we had stayed a little longer.

United StatesThe only thing is we had a couple of bugs but the hotel provided bug spray for us.
The staff was amazing and super friendly, they communicated with me with quick response time through booking.com. They also booked all excursions and ensured we were picked up in a timely manner. Breakfast was great, and the system they used for seating was very helpful. Lastly, this place is in a great location near a few restaurants and great views.

QatarThe breakfast spread is very limited and basic.
Great location, 5 7 minutes walk to the downtown area which has a couple of stores and several restaurants. The property has a nice garden. Location is approximately 20 and 25 minutes by car to monteverde and Santa Elena national parks respectively. The team was supportive in giving us late checkout for one of the booked rooms.

CanadaI loved the house and the entire outdoor space. It was gorgeous!! I could have spent my days just sitting in the outdoor space. Lots of things within short walk of the building. Loved the screens on the windows so you could have the fresh air come through but not the bugs and critters. Staff was incredibly helpful and friendly! I would definitely stay again if I am ever back in the area.

United StatesThe area has very high winds causing the upstairs rooms to be very noisy. Without A/C, we wanted to open the windows at night but the winds and dogs made it hard to sleep. Not enough hot water for 2 people to shower back to back, The rooms didn’t have a place to put bags on (just a small night stand), so we ended up putting them on the other bed in the room. The outlets were on the walls, but not near the night stand. The power went out nightly due to the high winds - sometimes just a few minutes, but one night it was out for 4 hours. Each room has a flashlight.
There was plenty of parking at this hotel. The check-in staff was friendly and efficient. They gave us a map and lots of information about the town. They showed us their resident sloth, too! The parking lot is secured by a gate at night. We rented the large house for 4 nights. Everything was very clean. The kitchen was stocked with oil, spices, coffee, sugar, etc. It even had some sauces and a fresh bag of ice in the freezer. The mattresses were okay - enough to get a comfortable night’s sleep. There is plenty of counter space in the bathrooms. The hotel has fast free wifi. It’s also a short walk into town. We enjoyed sitting outside relaxing on the porch swings. The staff contacted us after the 3rd night asking if we needed any housekeeping. Despite some of the short comings, we really enjoyed this hotel. We were able to cook some of our own meals with the well equipped kitchen, enjoyed relaxing on our porch hammocks, liked being so close to the town center, and enjoyed being able to spread out in this huge house!
