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.).

Beautiful setting - we had a bungalow with two doubles very spacious and we loved the verandah. Amazing wildlife just outside the cabin. The staff was very helpful and the room was cleaned every day. Great location also opposite the beach. Also did bike rental had a great day out.

GermanyExcellently located. Great garden with stand-alone bungalows. Very quiet. You do not feel the vibe and rush of Puerto Viejo once you enter the garden. Although just 2 minutes from the beautiful beach (just across the street), you enter spacious quite paradise and forget the world around you. This is a perfect mix between beach life, night life and calm holidays in the middle of a paradise garden. We originally wanted to stay 3 nights. It was soooo good, that we prolonged a bit. We were happy, that our bungalow was available for more nights. :-) On top: the staff is the most friendly staff I ever met in a holiday destination. We got a lot of information (we asked for), very helpful tips and most of all: Once we had a little problem (left some cloths in the bungalow), staff was mega helpful, found the pieces and sent them to our next stop across the country and cared a lot for us receiving the parcel. Outstanding!

BelgiumBungalow was a couple of meters of a noisy road... Don't understand why they gave us the worst place in that respect... We booked months beforehand. The explanation we got was that Booking.com decided what bungalow we got... strange explanation that is difficult to believe.

CanadaI thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the hotel, and the staff made it even better with their helpful and friendly service. I must give a special shout-out to Gabriel, who went above and beyond to suggest activities and dining options for us with a smile always on his face. The breakfast provided was not only delicious but also very generous in portion size. While the property was surrounded by nature, which is what I was looking for, it wasn't exactly what I expected as I couldn't walk and enjoy the surroundings as much as I wanted. Despite that, I would still recommend this hotel as a great place to stay in Playa Cocles, with its proximity to the beach and many dining options.

AustraliaIt’s about a kilometre walk into town which is not a great walk because there is no sidewalk and it can be dangerous with cars whizzing by.
We liked the decor and the hammock and outdoor area. Over the road from a nice hostel that has a restaurant and direct access to the beach. Lots of agouti animals scurrying around the property. Breakfast was good and staff were helpful and friendly.

Costa RicaRestaurant IS NOT available for Lunch and/or Dinner - is just available for breakfast and ONLY if you place an order the day before. While room was "clean" (floor, bathrom), the room was not in really clean condition, as an example, if you "move" the mosquitoes "net" that is over the beds, a lot of termite "dust" is going to fall from the ceiling, in the bed, also there is some kind of "small fecal matter" that falls from the ceiling, which could be from small bats or other rodents or other animals... but these also fall in the beds... Also, the room in which I stayed (bungalow 12) was really close to a "back road" which was pretty noisy...
Location is great and convenient in the area, is not hard to get to the reception, it has great parking spots, reception and receptionist was friendly and available.

This place is just outside the main village but nice flat walk down, top tip - rather than walk down the road side , cross over to the beach bar & walk left down into town through the beach jungle walk & spot Sloughs ! We took the family bungalows for two traveling couples which was great. Indian restaurant attached we didn’t eat but looked fantastic but the vino was a little expensive £30 !
