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 reviewRight by the beach in centre of Jaco. Breakfast included which is great because Jaco is expensive. Night guard. Secure for your belongings when you are down the beach or out at night. Night visitor--a racoon.

Verified reviewLocation right in Central Jaco was nice. Room was no-frills but pretty clean and comfortable.
Central Jaco is a bit sketchy, especially at night. The place has gates at night so it is pretty secure. Very limited on-site parking.

Verified reviewWe arrived before noon , they were able to allow us to check into a room. The location is only half block to to the beach or downtown. It is very nice to have an air conditioned room to allow you to cool down and have a good night sleep.
Wish breakfast started earlier. Shower water not warm, but tolerable.

Verified reviewWe were glad the AC worked, there were bars on the windows, and they locked the small parking area. Soda served good breakfast with surprising speed and delightful attitudes. Staff was friendly and beds were okay.
Very overpriced, likely due to the 1/2 block proximity to the beach. Room floors were dirty with someone else’s hair in the corners and along the walls. The only place to get our stuff off the floor was 1 small table between the beds. Mold in the ceiling corners. The AC vibrated the walls loudly and frightened our kid.

Verified reviewBreakfast staff were very nice. Breakfast was good. Rooms were clean.
We booked for 124USD. Went to pay, had reserved on credit card. They preferred cash. We gave them 130.00USD cash. They didn't have change so they said they would have our 6.00 USD change at breakfast. (Which we were going to tip the excellent breakfast crew). They then refused to give us our change. They made phone calls and decided we owed them more money. They broke the contract. We are responsible, clean, quiet adults. We were treated terribly at check out. The spineless manager too afraid to accept his responsibility put it all on the check-in clerk. hiding on the phone. Too bad that for 6 usd they have destroyed any chance of us every returning or recommending. We live in CR and quite often entertain international visitors. We feel like we were taken advantage of.
Dear guest, The total amount of your reservation was $140.12, you only paid $130, and you refused to pay the remaining $10.12. You can review your reservation on the Booking.com page and see that the correct balance was $140.12. You showed us an image that indicated $124 but that amount is without commissions and does not correspond to the correct payment. We consider your comment to be unfair.
