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 reviewBeautiful common areas; Room was basic, but to be expected at the price we paid. Breakfast was good, with plenty of fruit, eggs, toast, coffee .... . However, it is important to note that you prepare your own breakfast in the large common kitchen. We also could use the kitchen throughout the day, which was nice. Large, well-maintained property, with limited ocean view on the large deck. Driving to Montezuma takes about 15 minutes.
It was hot in our room, although the fan helped. No air conditioning, but we were aware of that before booking.
Thanks Kerstin

Verified reviewView to the ocean and a lovely garden. The communal rooms and kitchen are large and airy, but not our room.
Location was difficult. Our room was small and had no air conditioning and no mosquito net that we could use. Luckily we had a large net with us. There were no places to put our cases apart from a window sill. We arrived in the evening and had no place to get food. We had to walk down in the heat to Montezuma to a soda. We were not warned that there is no food available. The host offered to pick us up after our meal, but no option to travel down to the restaurant. No offer to organize tours etc.
Walter Thank you for your comments. The room that you book has it amenities clearly stated (no airco) and small 25quare meters including bathroom (see pictures please ) there is a side bench for the suitcase, and the bed is high enough to store another suitcase under to have a bit more space. Now your question of food When you ask me 20 min before arrival is there is food available, it can be that i miss that message and also when the amenities clearly state there is no restaurant here. i do not understand that specific last moment question Just breakfast self service is included ) When customers come with there own vehicle (not a 4by 4 ,but 2 by 2 wrong car for area and type of roads .) i don't expect to bring them anywhere, but do offer a free ride from or to town courtesy of hotel, as they want to walk the 2 km down hill. And i no way i offer to organized tours but can point them in the direction where ,when they ask me, i do that with pleasure And as i stated many times when you use the Gps it Sents you over fantasy roads and you will not like.,24 hour before arrival i sent a specified direction Informacion to the customer (if they read it??) How to come to Jodokus inn from town Cobano and even a map with route clearly marked in a black line when they follow that there will be no issues with there arrival.

Verified reviewWe loved this place - for us it was perfect. The setting was wonderful - such a beautiful peaceful garden and gorgeous furnishing in the communal areas. The bedroom was small but perfectly adequate - good large bed. Shower hot and ensuite fine. The breakfast we were left in our own fridge, in the communal kitchen, was fab. Wonderful 4 nights.
It wasn't that we didn't like it - it was an adventure - but we were really glad we had a 4WD Suzuki Jimney to get around. The roads all around the area are challenging . We were thankful it wasn't the rainy season. Advise that everyone follows instructions from the host rather than follows Google as it can send you on some even more tricky roads!
Thanks a lot Helen

The villa is beautifull surrounded by a forest from one side and by a lovely garden from the other side You can eat with a view of the sea, read a book on comfortable chair or watch wild animal from the window of your room. Huge and rich breakfast. Only 5minutes from Montezuma. The host is full of good intentions to let you have a perfect moment. We definitely recommand !

Verified reviewWe loved staying at Jodokus Inn. It is in an amazing situation with views over the ocean and beautiful plants and forest surrounding it. We saw howling monkeys and lots of birds on the property. Host provided fruit, bread and eggs for us to make our breakfast. He also had good recommendations for places to eat and was happy and quick to respond to any questions. The Inn was for us oldies a 40 min walk up steep hills from Montezuma but we didn't mind because it was nice to be away from the traffic noise and bustle of town.
Nothing really.

Verified reviewVery pretty big house with a great kitchen and pretty garden around with fresh fruit. The rooms are nice and clean, though there are a lot of ants and other insects due to the forest around. The host ist very nice and always available for any issues. Only slightly negative thing is the location, as it is quite far from the small city. It’s 30 min by foot down to the beach/Montezuma or a 6000 colones taxi ride up/down. The host does however offer to drive you up/down one time a day. Overall we had a lovely time!

Verified reviewWhere to start... This might have been my best allround experience through Booking. And I travelled a lot. The place, it's surroundings, the energy, the host, the services and facilities, everything was 10 out of 10. You can pick fruits from the beautiful garden to make your own smoothie in the morning. There's an abundance of birds, animals and butterflies. You can hear the monkeys howling in the trees in the morning. I would wake up in the early morning to watch the sunrise while drinking my coffee and watching the ocean. If you want to immerse yourself in nature and have a peaceful stay this is your place. Every room has their own fridge in the kitchen and every morning your host will make sure there's enough products in there to have a lovely nutritious breakfast. It also has very well equipped kitchen with all utensils you need in case you want to cook at home. Ype goes above and beyond to ensure you have to most perfect stay. Property is a little bit far from the downtown and since I was solo traveling without a vehicle I was worried this might would be a problem. But in hindsight, I didn't want it any other way. You feel remote (in the best way possible) while still being close to the crowds in town. I either walked and enjoyed the surroundings (I would recommend to walk to town at least once and make a stop at the Beer Brewery <3) or Ype would drop me off/pick me up with his AT4. I wished I could have stayed longer. My 2 days felt like a month. If you want to fully recharge and enjoy Costa Rica in it's purest form, this is you place to go. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Ype. Keep it going, Pura Vida!
