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 reviewDon't hesitate, just book!!!! Most wonderfull, fairytale garden and villas. The best experience was to witness the awakening of the jungle every morning. None of our future stays in Costa Rica could beat Finca Chica.

Verified reviewBeautiful, clean, spacious, well-equipped villa in a gorgeous setting. Lovely to hear and see all the wild-life surrounding the villa. The staff are very kind and do everything they can to make your stay extra-special. The wild-life tour around the property with the very kind grounds-keeper was fantastic. The villa is close to the beaches, shops and restaurants but feels very quiet and secluded.

Verified reviewThe property was beautiful. The people that own it are very friendly and will give you lots of good advice on the area, what to do, where to go, etc. There was linen refresh everyday, cleaning the property while we were out and even offered free laundry services. The location is great. Close to playa cocles and restaurants and several minutes from the town and other amazing beaches easily accessible by Uber, bike or bus. There are 2 grocery stores right around the corner. Kitchen in the property has everything you need.
Only downside was it was an open concept property so no air conditioner. The humidity at night sometimes made it hard to sleep. But they do everything to help (fans, mosquito nets, mosquito wall plugs).

Verified reviewThe gardens and surrounding jungle were beautiful. The location was close to everything. Super unique place to stay surrounded by jungle noises - monkeys, sloths, agouti, toucans, turtles, poison dart frogs and so many butterflies!! Great wifi, lots of plugs/outlets, private and they cleaned every day.
It is quite rustic and you need to be comfortable with bugs and dampness as you are basically living outdoors.

Verified reviewThese cottages are set in a beautiful jungle garden and have everything you need for a superb vacation at the Carribean coast. Loved the gardener who walked by our cottage every time there was an animal to spot. Near the beaches, restaurants and supermarkets - I’d definitely book here again!

Verified reviewThis was the most beautiful accommodation we had in Costa Rica. A great villa in the middle of an enchanting garden. Plenty of space, a great kitchen and a super terrace. Every day we woke up to the sound of birds singing. And when we were preparing breakfast, we could watch the hummingbirds from the kitchen window. Highly recommended!

Verified reviewBeautiful comfortable wooden lodge with a large verandah, table and chairs, just great to sit out in a lush quiet jungle environment and enjoy being surrounded by wildlife and jungle noises.
There was nothing to dislike, except maybe a hairdryer would have been useful.
