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 reviewWe LOVED this property and highly recommend it for any birders. There’s a tree line around the property where several species of birds were spotted by our son - most were lifers for him. The room was comfortable with AC and clean / comfy beds and bathrooms. The breakfast included a lesson in local fruits grown on the property and the chance to taste new ones - like Guapa. We were headed to an overnight tour at Corcovado National Park and this was a perfect place to stay for us.

Verified reviewThe breakfast was very good and cooked fresh for each person. The room was clean and comfortable and the pool was small, but clean. I really liked the garden area and the large yard surrounding the property. Great for children to run in.
The only slightly bad thing is that the hotel is not in town. You do have to drive to get to town.

Verified reviewFelt local and authentic. Owner friendly.
Bit of a long walk from main centre. Claims to be 15 minutes but in the heat it took us considerably longer. No bar or food options. Breakfast very basic.

Verified reviewIt's a lovely property.
The budget room we rented has a private bath, but it's 15 meters away on the other side of the property. This is reflected in the price but not adequately disclosed, since booking doesn't have a data field for whether a private bath is attached or not. And the room itself is pretty bare, per the photos. It's a roughly 15-minute walk into town.

Verified reviewWe loved the pool - gorgeous and warm after a 7 hour bus ride. Lovely sitting areas and hammocks next to it. The rooms around the pool were conveniently placed. The surrounding gardens were beautiful. The dining area and kitchen were clean and convenient too. We loved the friendly dog, cat and chickens. Stephanie was very friendly and helpful and gave us a lift to the ferry. We'd definitely return here.

Verified reviewNice place, and very kind owner. Good position to go to Sierpe, and everything on this regard was good.
I don't understand why they should talk loudly at 5:30 and mow the lawn at 6:30 in the morning just in front of the rooms..

Verified reviewOthers have raved about the breakfast. WTF? It was extremely basic - no bacon or sausages or meat. And, there wasn't much of it. The coffee was good though. And, it was fun watching the dog, cat, chickens, geckos, etc. running all over the place but not bothering you or each other - total harmony.
The dog next door barked a lot. (Perhaps his name is/was 'Barker.') The rooster started early and didn't let up in the morning. The staff were very nice. Check out time (9:00 AM) was waaaaaaay too early.
Thanks you so much to stay with us !
