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 reviewThe privacy, the way it was built into the flora and fauna, the facilities were excellent value
It could have been a little cleaner on the cobwebs and dust. I wish the toilet was upstairs as I didn’t like going downstairs in the dark!

Verified reviewExtremely helpful staff. Thank you very much guys. Beautifully set in the jungle. Really special open air yoga and relaxation space. An excellent choice of various breakfast options. Our tent was spacious and comfortable with complete privacy.
Our private terrace/decking could have a light porch roof sheltering it from the rain and the sitting/chair options could be more comfortable.

Verified reviewExtraordinary place. Glamping tents fully equipped with everything you need. Amazing outside area with a view to the beautiful jungle. Tent and the outdoor area allows a lot of privacy. Whole Manolas area is beautiful and the garden is well maintained and has some amazing plants. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good and served in an outdoor area. Highly recommended.
Not that we didn't like it - but we could really use a hair dryer.

Verified reviewThe area is beautiful and the people (Mack, Liz,Martin) were wonderful. The villas are on the side of a mountain and we could see and hear the two rivers. We saw all kinds of birds, butterflies, agoutis and coatis. The pool was great and everything is nicely kept up. If you want to be surrounded by nature, in a quiet tranquil setting, this is the place!
Wi-fi was slow, but we were basically out in the middle of the jungle! Just glad we had wifi!!!

Verified reviewManoas at Uvita was our last destination at Costa Rica after we went to a few locations and stays, so having our own Villa to chill at Uvita was perfect. The kitchen had everything we needed so we were able to prepare nice big breakfasts leisurely each morning before heading to the beach or other activities. Coming back to the villa at the afternoon we relaxed at the pool and finished the day in the Jacuzzi which was located at our garden space. We had nice laid-back chairs to relax in as we took in the lovely, maintained surroundings. Staff was very nice and helpful in answering our questions and helping to book our snorkeling/diving day. You also have a big smart TV, to finish the day with if you like. Please note you need a 4*4 car to arrive at the place.
The flying bugs at night :-) as you need to go up to the sleeping rooms from the downstairs section of the kitchen and bathroom/shower you use external stairs.

Verified reviewEverything. Beautiful surroundings, in close touch withe nature. Very comfortable. Excellent breakfast with plus of an amazing view.
It would be nice if the restaurant was serving dinner meals. However, with the full support of staff, we were able to order food from restaurants in Uvita that was delivered at our door. (The kids loved the experience of eating at the tent).

Verified reviewSimply beautiful accommodation in the middle of the rainforest. Although the hotel was partly fully booked, we felt like we were alone there, it is very spacious and private. The nearby river is great for cooling off, as is the shared pool. a highlight is of course the jacuzzi with a view of the jungle. Toucans feel quite comfortable there too, we have seen them several times from the terrace and from the restaurant. the staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating, we recommend this property to anyone in the area looking for a hidden jem.
it is a bit inconvenient that the toilet can only be accessed from the bedroom via an outside staircase.

Verified reviewLocation is great, definitely worth staying there. Try to avoid diners served locally. They charge 20 USD for a meal that is not worth it. For less money you will get better quality down in the town.
