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.).

Rough time making it to the location due to heavy traffic on main road in. Bridge was under construction.
Sharon, Thank you for your positive comments and ratings. Sorry for the inconvenience of the bridge being under construction. Most of the time now it doesn't slow traffic flow. It's almost done! Doug

Verified reviewWe had a beautiful stay with Doug and Robin. The treevillas are tucked away in the jungle where you will hear and see lots of beautiful birds. We woke up by the sound of the howlers. The pool is very nice as well. The villa is fully equipped which is very convenient if you want to make something yourself. Playa Ventanas is not far. We loved it!

Verified reviewReally nice facilities, each unit is built on an elaborate elevated platform (as were the walkways) in the jungle. Lots of birds, including parrots. Spotlessly clean and comfortable.
The hot water in the shower was tough to figure out, and it's about a 7 to 10 minute drive off the highway on a rough Costa Rican road.
Carl, We're so glad you had such an enjoyable stay with us! Thank you for your very positive ratings and comments. Yes, I am organizing the neighbors to get the road smoothed out. We wish you well and invite you to return. Doug and Robin

Verified reviewThis place is just PERFECT! A quiet oasis in rainforest! It is our favorite accommodation after 3,5 weeks in Costa Rica. Doug is super friendly, such a great host. A warm welcome. The property is so beautiful. You can see that they have an eye for details. All the trees, flowers, birds… just lovely. Our villa had beautiful views, we even saw a sloth! The villa is well equipped, clean and super comfortable. The complimentary Costa Rica coffee is a nice bonus. It’s the perfect place to explore the region, but also to chill, for example at the beautiful pool. Thank you so much!!
Dear Malu, Thank you so much for your outstanding review and ratings! The experience of our guests is our top priority and the wonderful experience you had is what we love to see. It was truly a pleasure to have you and Nils stay with us. And that is so great that you saw a sloth! I hope that all is going well for the two of you and would love to see you again if you ever return to this part of the world. Best wishes, Doug

Verified reviewWe thoroughly enjoyed our short stay. After 3 nights in a basic cabin in Osa, this was almost luxury. The cabin was well-equipped, very comfortable, cool (without using the AC), and at canopy level with great views of the surrounding trees. We were on the edge of Ojochal, very quiet, and the garden was really a rainforest experience. The pool was particularly pleasant and attractive, surrounded by garden, and we spent a fair amount of time there (which we normally don't do).
Arbol Verde Villas is a couple of kms from the main road and centre of Ojochal, but this is more than compensated by its marvellously quiet location.
Paul, Thank you for your excellent review and ratings. I enjoyed having you and Elisabeth stay with us and am glad your experience here was so enjoyable. I hope you come stay with us again if you're in this part of Costa Rica again. Best wishes to you. Doug

Verified reviewThe rooms are spotless and there has been great attention to detail- nice toiletries, lots of towels, fresh coffee, free water and a laundry facility which is free to use. The whole offer speaks of generosity and pride in what is being provided. The location is also great. A 5 minute drive along a dirt road puts you well off the beaten track, so when you sit on your balcony the wildlife comes to you - lots of hummingbirds, toucans and howler monkeys. Restaurants are a 5-10 minute drive back down the dirt road, which at first we worried about, but which turned out to be no problem at all and a good selection of top class meals available.
None.
