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 reviewThe property at Coco Beach Village is beautiful. There are a variety of plants and flowers that attract many species of birds that can be observed throughout the day. The property is very secure as far as safety. There is a locked gate to enter with your car or if you just walk in. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful!! The owner, David, goes above and beyond for his guests and cares truly cares about your experience at his property.

The overall atmosphere was inviting and relaxing, making it a perfect getaway spot. I highly recommend Coco Beach Village for anyone looking for a memorable vacation.

Verified reviewThe property was amazing! The pool was clean and gorgeous, perfect way to spend the day. The staff were all incredible and accommodating and we had excellent communication with the hotel prior to our arrival. The room was clean and spacious with a gorgeous bathroom and equipped with a fridge, kettle, microwave, and coffee pot. Also, the breakfast that you can get for just $10 was amazing! We got given a fruit plate to start, followed by toast with jam and butter and eggs cooked however we wanted with rice, beans and fried bananas to top it all off. We also got orange juice and there is tea and coffee available! No complaints would highly recommend!

Verified reviewEverything! From the three towels (beach, swimming pool, shower) to the pool, the seating areas outside, the proximity to the beach, the big comfy bed, the multiple pillows with different levels of thickness and sturdiness to choose from, the kitchenette.. I'm not sure whether we got a really good deal, but for the price we paid the value for worth was just exceptional.

Verified reviewThe real standout at Coco Beach is the garden and pool, David, the owner, is very helpful and attentive. The design of the rooms and furniture is also exquisite. Great natural light. The beach at Matapalo, a couple minutes walk away, is beautiful. I had the whole beach to myself except during late afternoon when locals walked there. If there's a downside, it's that you'll need a car to get here and get around. Dominical is close enough by car that you can easily enjoy the restaurants and music there. Coco Beach is a such a good value that I decided to extend my stay from 1 to 4 nights.
The crabs in the pool. On the plus side, that indicates how clean the water is. But what if they get into your swimsuit?!

Verified reviewFantastic location! Mere steps away from a beautiful beach. Great area. Had the beach almost entirely to ourselves most of the time. A few dozen locals showed up on the weekend, but most of the time you could walk out and look a mile each way up and down the beach and see maybe one or two people, but often no one at all. Incredible, considering how beautiful the beach is. You are also right next to two good restaurants and a well stocked convenience store. I got up early one morning (around 6:30) and walked down the lane that runs parallel to the beach and watched a troop of at least a dozen monkeys jump through the trees grabbing fruit. I’d never seen anything like it in my life. Quite something! The hotel itself is very nice and David is a great host. Comfortable bed and hot shower. The best nights of sleep I had on my trip were those I spent here. There is a very good traditional breakfast offered each morning (for a fee.) Highly recommend staying here!

Verified reviewThe hotel is only a two minute walk to this beautiful beach, which stretches for miles and miles! The place is very quiet, laid back, and relaxing ; the bed was super comfy.Breakfast on the second floor was ample and delicious. The owner, David, was most kind and helpful.A special note of gratitude to David"s hired cleaning ladies: I had forgotten my cel phone in the room when we checked out. A half hour later, they called my husband's phone to tell us about it!! I deeply appreciate this gesture and their honesty!!! Congrats on a great staff!
We have absolutely no complaints about this lovely place!

Verified reviewFamily feel with the owner David, making everyone feel welcome. A few minutes walk to the beach, supermarket and a few restaurants. Nice and clean with secure parking. Away from the touristy vibe of Manuel Antonio, but close enough to drive for the attractions there and Uvita. And so also a good place to stop if traveling down the coast.

Verified reviewThe beach is amazing and only a 5 minute walk.
Slightly ridiculous that the room has a microwave, fridge and kettle but no cups etc
I was very surprised at this review because it goes against all the reviews I have had in the past. They stayed for one night, and I let them use the hotel Facilities after check-out. As quoted in booking.com, the Hotel kitchen can be used by the guests so they have access to cups, dishes and everything they need. Cups are also downstairs on a table obviously for the guests to use. If something is missing please let me know I am here to help. My staff have an average of 9,7 and the cleanliness is at 9,8. so I have no idea what happened here.

Verified reviewLovely hotel with beautiful gardens. Host is very helpful - went out of his way to meet our needs during our stay. Very close to a beach which is good for body surfing - but stay in the shallow water due to rip tides, which are common along tne Pacific coast.
