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 KingdomNothing - all was perfect!
The property is beautiful, gorgeous views over the coast and sunset. The apartment itself is spacious, spotless, comfy kingsized bed and had great facilities: aircon and the shower were the best we had in a 6week long trip! The pool/yoga/lounge space is perfect - such a peaceful haven! The apartment was the perfect luxury we needed, and exceeded all our expectations. Chris was so attentive, he drove us to the local supermarket and back as the walk is about 30 minutes, Chris gave us local takeaway delivery number incase we wanted this too. He also booked us a shuttle to La Fortuna for a very reasonable price. Chris made our stay really lovely and we would come back in a heartbeat!

United StatesWe liked everything about our stay at Horizon Lodge.
Our stay at Horizon Lodge was delightful. The view is spectacular and can be enjoyed from nearly all areas of the property including the wonderful infinity pool and sun decks. The location is situated in a beautiful private area which is a short drive to most of the nearby towns and beaches. Our apartment provided everything we needed and more. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Chris was very responsive regarding our questions and Nadia greeted us and made us feel welcomed.

United StatesWhile most of the units were occupied during our stay, we felt like we had the place to ourselves. Every morning we drank our coffee on the deck by the pool with beautiful views of the ocean and a few rainbows. We had the pool to ourselves whenever we used it. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of storage and space in the unit. I could see staying here for an extended period of time.

United StatesThe property is having some problems accepting card payments through Booking.com. Like some other visitors, we selected to prepay and assumed our payment had been processed - especially as nothing was said about still needing to pay during check-in. The owner had messaged me via WhatsApp with a PayPal link the day prior. We're wary of PayPal, so I reached out to customer service before arrival to ask them to please just charge my payment method on file, since that was what I opted for at the time of booking, anyway. Apparently, the property doesn't allow Booking to do this, and the owner sent me WhatsApp messages that evening to settle payment. We eventually got it sorted out with a guest link. While we sympathize with their predicament, as customers, we felt the whole thing could've been handled more professionally (at check-in, in the daylight, and/or communicated through Booking.com chat, where we'd previously corresponded.)
They've done a wonderful job with this property! This was our 8th accommodation on this trip to Costa Rica, and it had the best of all worlds. Quiet enough to feel remote, but connected to groceries, gas, and services in town. Fantastic A/C in the common space and both bedrooms. A thorough cleaning job, enough towels for a family of 4 (including pool towels), and a very well-equipped kitchen. The owners were so kind to accommodate early check-in so that our young daughters could get settled; they even brought them a high chair and kids' chairs, which they adored! The view from the pool is gorgeous and we appreciated the little outdoor gym, too. We watched the cleaning team wipe down outdoor railings and dust off loungers. They're clearly taking pride in keeping this place up. We would definitely stay again!

Costa RicaIt gets a bit warm in the afternoon inside thd living room, although you have the A/C and fan to make it comfortable.
Great views, very comfortable, private and with everything you need to enjoy the nice beaches. Extra points if you love diving as the host will be a great guide to introduce or expand your interest in the matter. Great jacuzzi to view the sunrise or sunsets from the balcony is also a great selling point

Chris and Nadia are wonderful hosts, they were there to greet us upon arrival and the check in was smooth and easy and we felt at home right away. Our place was spacious, clean, well appointed and with comfortable beds. This place is very peaceful, quiet with absolutely stunning views. We enjoyed the outdoor workout area and the infinity pool overlooking expansive mountain and ocean views. We rented a car and it was easy access to the town for any needs and you are minutes to several gorgeous beaches. We stayed here for 8 nights and made a great decision and will definitely be back.

Canadathe property is beautiful and expertly maintained and very secure. It looks out over the ocean and hills away from the traffic of the town. very peaceful. The apartment was new, modern, clean, comfortable with all we needed plus luxuries such as our own jacuzzi overlooking the ocean. We loved the semi-private pool and lounging area with the incredible view. Kitchen well equipped. Also had condiments like sugar, coffee, tea, etc which we appreciated. The hosts were very helpful. I didn't have access to the instructions they sent for entry. They reside at the property and were able to solve problem quickly even though it was late at night when we arrived. Parking was right below the building. Lots of restaurants and beaches nearby. Highly recommend a car to get here and to get around the Potrero and Flamingo Bay area to enjoy the beaches and towns
