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 reviewVery convenient location in the centre of Liberia - easy to walk from the bus terminal and lots of restaurants and cafés around. There's a beautiful courtyard to hang out and it was surprisingly quiet at night. Rooms are small but very clean. But what makes this place so special is his owner and his family: Edwin is such a wonderful host and really takes care of his guests. I only spend two nights together with my 5year old son at Hotel Liberia but Ewwin was so welcoming like I have stayed there for much longer.

Verified reviewHotel Liberia is a lovely hotel right in the center of town across from the beautiful Catholic Church. Many restaurants, coffee shops and general shops are within minutes of the hotel. The hotel is the oldest in Libera and it is charming. However it comes with very limited amenities so if you stay keep in mind to bring shampoo, hair drier. The host supply you with soap and (very clean) bath towels. What the hotel lacks in amenities, it thrives in cleanliness. The floors are made of very beautiful old terracotta tiles and they are well kept and very clean. The sheet (and bath towels) are also very clean. The host, his wife and child are lovely and kind to a fault. This hotel is a gem and an incredible value if you are ok with going with less than what you'd find a commercial hotel.
The queen mattress in my room was all coils so I slept in the twin bed which was perfect. The queen mattress needs to be replaced. And although the weather was warm and it was refreshing, it would have been nice to have water warmer than lukewarm.

Verified reviewLovely host, very friendly, welcoming and accommodating!
Just one thing, showers were one te.p only, kind of cool. But in the hot weather, that's just fine! I should have left my AC for the room off/not set as cool until after I showered.

Verified reviewEdwin was a wonderful host. The hotel is in center of city's historic area. The courtyard and open lobby area are lovely and comfortable - nothing fancy, but also nothing pretentious. Same for the rooms - modest but clean and comfortable. Good a/c. We opted for breakfast - good coffee and delicious fresh fruit. Off street parking available.

Verified reviewVery basic lodging but the hosts are friendly and the location is fabulous. Perfect for staying the night in Liberia after a long flight. Relaxing courtyard area and the air conditioning is great. Close to dining options and feels very safe. Good for families with tweens or teens looking for a more authentic experience.

Verified reviewThe rooms at this hotel surround a lovely inner courtyard. Charming and helpful hotel owner, Edwin, prepared a tasty, traditional Costa Rican breakfast with coffee that we ate in the courtyard. Later we took an Uber to the airport for the first time. Edwin waited with us for the car to arrive and helped us to communicate with the driver. The rooms are simple and small but we had a very good experience.

Small, old rooms. Even smaller bathrooms 1960s style. Lack of any modern amenities, no soap or hot water in bathroom. Not the best vfm at $70+ pn.
