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 reviewNice beach, there no people
The room was very small and dark, we had only one small window. We asked to change and upgrade to bigger room and bigger windrow, but the owner told us that they don’t have available rooms but we saw that during our stay that bigger room was available. Breakfast was simple. There wasn’t clean, it was not pleasure to stay. The road is difficult, you need to go 20 min in bad road with a lot of hole until resort from the main road.

Verified reviewThe location is excellent, if you like a beautiful, peaceful beach. It is a bit of a long drive down a gravel road, but if you want to be away from the busy tourist areas, it's well worth the drive. If you like dogs, there are plenty around that will visit you, and join you for a walk on the beach.
The restaurant was closed, and food options very limited. I am forgiving of this, because we went during the off season ( we were the only guests there).

Verified reviewThere wasn't alot to like sin e we didn't make it past our horible room
The room was disgusting. Bed bugs and cockroaches everywhere. The toilet seat was broken, the towels were wet and smelled bad. The manager was nice after noticing the condition of the room however it was his job to inspect the room before we arrived so I didn't believe he didn't know the room looked like that. No one else was working there so I'm sure he was the one who cleaned also. Don't sell this hotel until they upgrade something.

Verified reviewLoved the location on an isolated beach, near end of road. We spotted lizards, parrots, macaws nearby. It's a very nice little hotel, staff is helpful and friendly. We ate breakfast and supper here too, chef did an amazing job.
Wear bug spray and don't leave your door or windows open because there are tiny flies you cannot see (noseems?). I think these are a problem in many areas of Costa Rica.

Long road to get there - challenging in pouring rain, but that my problem, not on the accommodation.

Verified reviewthe beach, the pool area, the pool table, the games in the common area were fine... the breakfast was really average but it was fine for the price paid.
I didn't like that it was too dark in some green areas, making it kind of dangerous to walk by at night, I hit a rock with my foot, nothing to worry about, but it can be a little dangerous, more lights in the beach so you can hang around would be a good idea

Gorgeous ocean; we could always hear the beautiful sound of ocean waves and interesting birds. The staff was amazing; accommodating all our needs and providing great communication.

Verified reviewThe location and the place is great.
The woman that was in reception gave us poor service. First we were charged more for the room because the taxes were not included in the price, then we couldn't have lunch because the restaurant was closing when we arrived, we got there at 2 pm, she mentioned they had issues with the restaurant and that is why it will be closed for dinner as well, however, we think it was closed due to change of shifts and they did not have any cooker for afternoon shift. We had to drive 3 km back to find a restaurant to eat lunch. . Then, she also gave us a different room (1 room with 2 beds) not what we booked here on booking (bungalow with 2 bedrooms). However, after we having lunch, we got back and another man (I think the name was Javier) was in reception and fixed the confusion with the rooms and told us the restaurant will be open from 5 to 7 pm for lunch. Thanks to this afternoon receptionist our stay changed for good!!!

Much is antiquated and badly in need of improvement… It appears that is being worked on. The kitchen dishes and cooking facilities are in desperate need of replacement. It is overpriced for the current state
