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 StatesI was a bit disappointed in the view from my room, I probably had the worst in the resort. Still had a good view just took a little bit of effort to see it. I wish there was easier access to the beach.
Staff were excellent went above and beyond to make my visit special. Breakfast was excellent! I loved the location away from all of the masses of tourists in other parts of the area. Very nice group of fellow visitors, without young children screaming in the background.

United StatesThe property was amazing. But if you have a hard time w stair you may want to let them know. Also we had the Honeymoon suite which was lovely - but not for older ppl who can't navigate stairs and sudden steps. But the staff, food and views were impressive. Especially if you want to see Monkeys, Toucans and other rain forest wildlife etc

CanadaI would have liked to have been a bit closer (walk) to the town . We had a car so it was fine but it would have been nice to be walking distance .
The view was incredible . We were above the forest canopy so saw birds that can be difficult to spot like Toucans and Scarlett Mccaws regularily.

United StatesEven though the room is spacious, the objects are not positioned in an efficient way: a lot of tables are full of objects that we couldn't put our own stuff; there isn't a place to sit and use computer. Also, throughout our trip in Costa Rica, this is the only hotel where we were bitten by mosquitoes quite a lot. The pest prevention can be done better.
Overall the hotel is still a good luxury hotel for us to stay. The view is great in the morning, and the decoration is special. The staffs were friendly, and guided us to park the vehicles and helped us carry the luggage. The breakfast was quick and good.

The view was spectacular, room was huge, breakfast was also nice, but nothing special. Everything remains overpriced in Costa Rica, but nothing that the hotel can do abt.

United StatesNothing!
The VIEW!!! from every corner, from entering the grounds, to the restaurant and the pool. Spectacular!! The room was huge!! and we had a large balcony too, where we had tropical scenery as well as ocean view. It was the perfect place to unwind in the evenings. We saw birds, heard monkeys (though we didn't see them) but we did see a big iguana on the tree one day. The restaurant was excellent!! breakfast was delicious with a nice selection (made to order) and we chose to dine there every night because the food was so good! The stuff Was awesome, friendly, smiling and attentive. Out of the 4 places we stayed in Costa Rica this was by far our favorite!!

United StatesBoth beaches nearby are indeed a hike to access. And the bathroom wasn't the most private (just some doors but not separated by a wall).
The room was huge and clean. Great views of the canopy and the sea from both the room and the restaurant. We saw a lot of wildlife and the staff even lent us binoculars for the duration of our stay to help us see everything better. The food for breakfast was delicious and changed everyday with excellent service. I highly recommend this place and would come back anytime.

It was like something out of the movies! The location was beautiful with breathtaking views. The room was very clean and also had incredible views. It was the perfect getaway for our honeymoon. It was also great that it was so close to quepos as we were able to do some offshore fishing. The wildlife in the mornings was fun to watch. The staff were all very friendly. Would highly recommend this location and can't wait to go back!
