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 KingdomThe curtains in our room let in a fair amount of light, perfect for early risers but some blackout curtains or blinds would go down well. Our room
Lovely hot springs on site, beautiful garden full of nature. Amazing view of the volcano. Nice breakfast and friendly staff.

United StatesI loved it!
I love being surrounded by nature, surrounded by all the beautiful plants and wildlife. It rained during my stay, which made it more magical. The view of the arenal volcano is right there. I only had breakfast there, which was really fresh and didn't seem processed. LOVED LOVED LOVED the mineral hot springs. It's a great option, being that it's right on site. The springs look murky only because of the minerals they contain. They pump it fresh with new water every morning. I plan on staying here again in the future.

South AfricaNothing really to complain about. We would return again.
The setting, location respectively at Kokoro Hotel is amazing. Seeing the Arenal Volcano in all its glory literally from the bed was an amazing experience. The natural „gardens“ and forests around the property are wonderful. One can spot birds and other animals by walking around. We also enjoyed the hot springs even though the waterfall was not working. Kokoro Hotel has got a very good value for money product on offer.

United StatesI would say there isn't anything we didn't like. They offer alcoholic drinks like mojitos, but they are not good. If you are going to offer a mojito, make it with fresh mint, limes, sugar... Muddle it... Use rum and club soda. This tasted like it was a canned mojito cocktail drink poured into a glass. Also, we are dinner in their restaurant one night... The food was average. Other than that, everything was wonderful and it is a great place to stay.
The property is beautiful. The gardens are gorgeous. We saw so many different types of birds on the property. At night, we saw many types of frogs around the pond, too. The hot springs are very relaxing and pretty. The staff are wonderful as well.

United KingdomThere is an unnecessary (as there is also a normal lock that we get the key for) spring-loaded dead bolt on the balcony door, which locked me onto the balcony. The airconditioner also stopped working at one point but was swiftly dealt with by staff

We had a lovely spacious cabin with the biggest and most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. The staff are friendly and helpful, the breakfast is one of the best I have had in Costa Rica, the pool was lovely and I enjoyed time in the hot spprings. We will book again next time we visit.

United StatesThe grounds are beautiful. We had a sloth encounter that was the highlight of our stay. The rooms are “rustic” . Hot water was inconsistent, but it’s hot in CR, so who needs that much hot water? The AC struggled in the daytime to keep the room cool. Very cool at night though. Beds are just the right firmness. Location was amazing. Woke up to volcano views every day. The staff was exceedingly kind. The linens smelled SUPER clean. If you are looking to see la Fortuna on a budget this is the spot. Breakfast was included and was delightful.
