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 reviewThe view of the ocean and hillsides from the porch was wonderful. The cable TV, full-size refrigerator, toaster and coffee maker were much appreciated, as well as the on-site parking.
However, the lack of a microwave was disappointing. We also would have liked to have had at least a small table with chairs on the porch. Also, some maintenance is needed on the broken shelf supports in the bedroom.

Verified reviewIt was inexpensive and had a private balcony with a great view. It was clean but decor was tired and in need of a refresh so it was hard to tell how clean it was.
Shower was ‘rustic’. Very uncomfortable sofa and chair to the point being able to sit on them. Rusting bunkbeds with old thin mattresses.

Verified reviewAmazing view of the ocean, just stunning. Very quiet vibe The apartment is nice Netflix installed and the kid's profile was set up in English language - very easy to access Relaxing hammock and outside area The woman at reception is very nice! Very spacious apartment, with lots of space to hang up clothes. The bathroom is huge.
We couldn't open the windows as there wasn't any secure mosquito nets. We had two tiny house geckos. It could be cleaner, the shelf under the sink wasn't cleaned when we checked in and it looked like sickness on the shelf. However it was cleaned when we mentioned it, so no problems. There was a smell of sewage in the bathroom after we had a shower and the water stopped, but it was all fixed very quickly. . But overall the apartment is VERY GOOD!

Verified reviewSpacious, great view from balcony and could do some bird spotting! nice hammocks, well enough equipped kitchen in our apartment
The place advertised itself as having a pool but turns out that's not for the room we chose, which is not fair advertising. Air con in rooms but not lounge area, so lounge area got pretty warm. Advertised as having games available but it was just chess, nothing else

Verified reviewVery beautiful apartment with good kitchen. It's situated directly at the main road, so it's easy to reach different restaurants, small supermarkets and there is also a bus going directly to the national park (you are not directly there). The from our bungalow to the sea was really beautiful and you can chill in the hammock there (though in the evening mosquitos were biting us there)

Verified reviewGreat location between Quepos and Manuel Antonio - we had a car but seen the bus up and down the road a lot. Supermarket, restaurants nearby. Lovely to have the balcony with the view and to sit out for breakfast/ read a book in the hammock. Glad to have the coffee maker, everything else in the apartment to cook during our stay.
Shower pressure was poor. Apartment was very dark and could do with some better lighting, cupboards to be fixed.

Verified reviewOverall, it was pretty good except a few things. Amazing view and terrace. We love the landscape. Wifi was good for remote work. Car is a must.
Restaurant was upstairs and pretty noisy, bathroom was turning into a pool whenever we had shower. Kitchen amenities could be cleaner & in good condition.

Verified reviewWonderful location. Incredible views across to the sea. Good kitchen. Warm and friendly receptionist greeted us.
The sofa bed was not comfortable- the end kept collapsing and there was a hard ridge in the middle. Fortunately, I’m quite small so was able to sleep sideways and this didn’t detract from our stay.

Verified reviewThe location and the view was good. Had a kitchen which is nice to have. Parking space available
Had a private room There was cockroaches in the room. The AC was barely working The pipes/ drain of the shower and sink were smelling so bad, you could smelll them when you were outside of the cabin, very unpleasant smell to sleep. I slept in 8$ hostel in costarica that were much better than that.

Verified reviewThe view was unreal!!! I thought I wouldn't see a single sunset because of wet season and cloudy weather, but it blew my mind away. The use of the kitchen was also greatly appreciated. The dorm had pretty big lockers and the A/C worked really well. I am also very grateful to the staff - not only were they incredibly kind during my entire stay, they helped solve an uncomfortable issue I was having at the hostel. I love the receptionist especially!
Not super social, but small enough that it is very easy to get talking to people :)

Verified reviewThe balcony and kitchen had the most amazing view. Always clean. Hammocks and tables and chairs to look out to the ocean and mountains. 4 bed mixed dorm was nice. Small room. Had lockers available to lock stuff away. Air conditioner was a nice added feature. Plenty of bathrooms and showers in case one was busy. All the staff were really nice.
If you are coming to check in later and reception not at front desk. Just go straight to the restaurant at front of property to get help with check in. Helped 2 different groups with sending them back up to restaurant. Not a big deal just nice to know when you arrive.
