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 KingdomRoom need a bit of modernisation. Despite being advertised as adults only - we were surprised to see children: one dinner there were 2 very young children eating in the restaurant- one child was standing on the chair and crying at 8 o’clock in the evening - not what we expected!
Staff were great. Particularly Daniela our concierge and Clarence, who was an amazing guide. Staff couldn’t do enough for you. Restaurant food was very good and staff were excellent/lovely. Good cocktails too. Room was clean and comfortable, especially the bed. Setting was amazing. Walter the driver of the shuttle service is brilliant. Liked the choice of products for the room, welcome drink and departing lunch bag.

United StatesThe bathroom layout was weird. Long narrow, with two huge sinks and no counter space, but a lovely shower.
The room was lovely; well furnished, with a comfy bed and a nice sitting area. The setting is beautiful and the personal service was terrific. The staff was really great! Our personal concierge, Gary, went above and beyond to contact us before we even arrived, to help us plan activities in the area, and to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. They packed a breakfast for us when we left very early one morning, and even let us pre order breakfast so we could eat before we left for the airport.

United StatesI honestly cannot think of anything to make it better. Maybe stairs along the driveway leading down to the parking lot but that is more of a "would be nice" item than something that is needed. The golf carts and staffs were always available to meet our needs going in and out.
The hotel and staff were magnificent. We had made a mistake withour booking and the administrator/manager rectified it with no cost to us. Our Concierge, Jose Gamboa, was astoundingly responsive and helpful. We had a tour with Clarence who was the friendliest and most informative tour guide we've ever had. All in all it was a wonderful trip and stay. We especially liked the fact that the hotel is helping to bring Macaw's back from endangered status.

United KingdomThis was the 5th hotel that we’d stayed in on our honeymoon Costa Rica travels. I can honestly say the stay from start to finish was the best I’d ever experienced. We were greeted with much help and a refreshment at reception. Our concierge, Catalina was extremely helpful and helped us with any questions/needs. The rooms, studios and grounds are perfect… the hotel has its own reserve with trails so wildlife is on your doorstep… beautiful to wake up to. All the staff are soo friendly and go above and beyond to help you with any of your needs… Johnny makes the best cocktails… Abraham is welcoming and helpful with luggage/golf buggy drop offs and pick ups. He is also informative for local amenities for travels. Although the hotel has everything you need and the food is out of this world… breakfast, lunch and dinner. Totally recommend the fine dining menu with wine to compliment each dish. We can’t thank Gaia Hotel and Reserve enough for our stay and we will look to come back and stay here again in a couple of years time. Thank you again, love Colleen and James XX PURA VIDA ❤️🇨🇷🙏🏼

All the hotel staff, beginning with Catalina our concierge, were unfailing polite, helpful and professional. They anticipated and met all our needs. The breakfasts (included) were delicious. We ate a number of dinners at the hotel, and they were all great. Waitstaff could not have been more accommodating. Our room was spacious and well appointed.

United StatesOur room was underwhelming ( studio) No view and a walkway outside our small window . This meant no privacy. I think you have to book a suite to really enjoy the rooms.

United KingdomThe bed sank in the middle meaning we kept rolling into each other. The pool is gorgeous with a great view but is small with only a few sunbeds. I can imagine there aren't enough for when the hotel is busy.
The staff are incredible, they couldn't be more helpful! Jose our personal concierge and Ada the receptionist were amazing and were so kind and sorted trips and storing our luggage when we went to Drake bay for two nights which isn't as safe. The golf buggy drivers are wonderful too and learn your room to take you there! The pool bar guys are also really lovely. The room is huge and lovely too! The nature hike is fun with Clarence and well worth booking him for Manuel Antonio national park as he spots animals that we would never have seen.
