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 StatesPool needed to be cleaned more often, beach is not great, and restaurant food while decent isn't very varied.
Staff extremely friendly, quiet and beautiful property - though the beach is not good and the pool needs to be cleaned at least twice a day. Rooms are exactly as pictured.

United StatesThis property was better than expected. We thought it was more of a bungalow vibe but it was much more upscale. The staff, restaurant, accessibility to the calm beach, the lovely pool all added to a delightful beginning to our Costa Rican adventure.

United StatesThe front desk isn’t staffed at night, there’s just a roaming security guard. Happy hour times are wrong on the “app” they encourage you to use. Drink prices are pretty steep outside of happy hour. Service is terribly slow. Breakfast is atrocious.
The pool is amazing (though the hot tub in the middle isn’t hot). The beds are comfy.

United StatesThe beach is definitely not the best part of this resort. You probably want to walk over to one of the other beaches. The chairs around the pool (and near the beach) were very uncomfortable. If you don't have a car, this hotel is very isolated.
This is a gem of a property. The people were unbelievably nice and very helpful. Pool area is delightful except the chairs are so uncomfortable. The grounds around the hotel were amazingly beautiful and the howler monkeys and other wildlife were great.

ChinaThe view is beautiful and the grounds were lovely. It seems they are understaffed and the staff they do have in the kitchen were not trained yet. The pool and beach were exceptional and one could hear howler monkeys at 6 am and watch green parrots fly from tree to tree. The surrounding environment is serene and verdant, full of biodiversity. If they could train the staff and waiters in the restaurant, it would be wonderful.

Canada- rooms are not cleaned, beds not made, etc. unless you request it. We were not told this upon check-in, so this was quite a surprise, especially since the property has a 4-star rating (even though the toilets cannot handle toilet paper). - numerous mosquitos in the room, especially the first night - no gift or snack shop - no town close enough to walk to, to buy anything to keep in the small fridge in the room; need to have car if this is important to you - limited public transportation: a bus comes to the gate at 2 p.m. (heading to Coco beach) and returns at 5 p.m. daily; this information was not shared with us on check-in but only discovered by asking questions. Going anywhere otherwise requires a taxi and this will be at least $20USD one way, regardless that you may only be going a few kilometers. - only 1 restaurant with fairly limited menu. This may suit you if you are staying only a few days, but any longer and you will likely want more options. - very few people. This can be a positive (e.g., no problem finding a lovely spot around the pool) but can feel a bit eerie if you are the only ones having dinner in the restaurant. - beach right in front of hotel is not swimmable. Sea urchins are a hazard here. You will need to walk down the beach about 10 minutes to get to a place where you can swim safely and where the water is clear to the bottom.
The dining and pool area was terrific. Beautiful grounds. Food service is excellent. Good wi-fi. Spacious room and bathroom, excellent bed, linens and towels. Many birds, monkeys and other wildlife to observe. Swimming in the sea further down the beach was wonderful!!!

United KingdomLovely quiet place with access to the beach for romantic walks. The staff were really lovely and gave us a free glass of wine as it was our honeymoon. The pool was nice and quiet with few people around (and no children thank god apart from the odd teenager) and we really relaxed and enjoyed it. Also had access to a beach which we used to take romantic walks. There were even howler monkeys and iguanas hanging out in the mango tree right next to the pool which was really cool! We wished we could have stayed one more day!
