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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomProperty is located down an unlit track which has a crocodile swamp next to it. This may not be a problem for you if you have transport or are comfortable with this, however this affected how we planned our days eg getting takeaways in the evening so we weren't walking back in the dark. In the day you can walk along beach in low tide. Aircon is poor and there are a lot of ants, bugs, lizards inside etc. Curtains only covered part of windows and windows are not sealed tight (slits).
Amazing location on the beach. Beautifully landscaped gardens. Can see lots of nature nearby - macaws, toucans, sloths, monkeys etc. Just down the road from where we got a kayak tour. Staff responsive, and gave option of breakfast (plain pancakes with coffee and juice).

GermanyWe enjoyed a super location, right on the beach yet slightly secluded. Within a few minutes' walk, you're in the village. The huts come with integrated bathrooms and offer a nice view of the garden and the sea. In the mornings, you can hear the howler monkeys, but otherwise, it's very peaceful (we visited during the off-season). The owner (or staff?) was always there and is very attentive

Costa RicaWindows that do not close tightly, to keep night time biting insects out and leaking that causes the AC units to work more.
We booked and were told from the Booking.com site, to pay at the site, which is comon. However, we always, in the past, paid with a credit card. This time we were asked to pay in cash. We were lucky that we had the cash... if not?? What then?

You can’t beat this location! Right on the beach. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed. The owner let us check in very early, borrow bicycles to get to town, and use the kayaks. The room was clean and had fans and air conditioning.

CanadaCould use some seating options out on the lawn in front of the beach. There was only one lounger there. Also wifi was great when it was on but seemed like it got shot off for the night around 8 pm.
Great value for money. Directly on the beach. Very clean and super friendly and helpful staff. Out of the way but a short walk to restaurants, ferry and town. Fresh coffee in the morning and breakfast is available for a price.

AustraliaNot a huge problem but there was no fridge in our two person room, and no kitchen to use. I think the larger rooms have these.
Great view of the water, with lots of birds to watch every morning. The cabins were basic but large and had everything we needed with aircon that worked well. The staff were so friendly and gave us so much free coffee.

The photos of this property didn't quite do it justice. It was beautiful! Very cute little "village" of these cabins. The onsite host was just wonderful and cooked a fine breakfast. Beach? Beautiful and right there! AC was needed and wonderful. Outdoor clothesline - handy! Next time we stay here, it may be for our entire stay in Costa Rica instead of just the 2/3 days we'd stayed this first time.

Costa RicaIt wasn't clear to me that it's cash-only. Not a big deal because there are ATMs in town, so it was a minor inconvenience.
The place is beautifully cared for, with a variety of lodging options each set apart from the others. The lidge is a few steps away from the far end of a peaceful and calm beach so generally one is alone there. Also in walking distance of a nice beachfront restaurant/bar. The owner Tomas is very friendly and helpful, as is his assistant Julia. They let me bring my dog! I actually spent 3 nights there, not 1. I will recommend it to friends
