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.).

Close to the airport. It still took us still 35 minutes to get there due to traffic. Nice view. It had a swimming pool with toys (very small), but sufficient for my son. Familyroom with breakfast. Welcoming host.

GermanyThe stairwell up to the room is a bit narrow. The few meters of driveway up to the property are quite steep.
We booked the acomodation because we knew we would arrive after dark and didn't want to drive too long in the dark from the airport. So I was mainly looking for an affordable stay before driving up to La Fortuna the next day and didn't expect much but was positively surprised. Our room had a really beautiful view on the garden and the view from the dining room was also very nice. The room is very spacious and has everything we needed. But the absolute best thing was the nice hostess.

CanadaThis is a perfect spot for a quick trip to the airport or a short stay. The hosts are lovely and very accommodating.The rooms are well kept, fresh and very clean. The beds were comfortable and we had a great night's sleep. It's like a little oasis in the city. It felt like we were in the country but we were just a 15 min drive from the airport. This is the best place we have stayed around the airport by far!

United StatesWe enjoyed everything about the property and facilities.
We landed in SJO late and wanted a place close to airport. We were able to arrange pick up for small price from our hostess Adriana. She found us immediately! In the morning Blanquita and Adriana serve us a delicious typical CR breakfast. Later they assisted in getting tickets to Poas volcano and Adiana drove us and waited while we hiked and took pics. She later drove us to downtown market for lunch and shopping.

United StatesThere was absolutely nothing that I didn’t like about this property
Beautiful house converted to a B&B. It was a real treat. The owners were very helpful and was in contact with us all the time up to our visit. If you go, please be sure to get the Waze instructions from them. I would recommend them to anybody we used Uber when we were there. I noticed that going out was not that far away so the Uber‘s would not pick us up. I had to upgrade the Uber in order to get them to come once I learn that it was no problem moving around very close to the airport maybe 20 minutes is very close to a rehabilitation zoo where they bring the animals that are injured. Allow yourself to do three hours time to walk through this zoo, but it is great. I did not take any pictures of the bedroom. They had a small air conditioner. I was fine for us.
