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 reviewI love how this property is surrounded by beautiful plants and flowers. It made it feel very cozy and tropical. The apartment was a good size for our family of 5 and we had everything we needed. Everyone there was very friendly and welcoming, especially Freddy. He was very kind and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Flamingo and at Massai apartments. If I get a chance, I will definitely be back. Pura Vida 💃🏾

Verified reviewWe were arriving late and the communication was great in order to leave the door open and ready for us. Kicthen is fully functional and works smoothly. Very secure.
Looking for a pet friendly hotel, and they charged me per day for having my pet. This cost should be disclosed beforehand and specially since they charge it to any pet that arrives. Anytime and unexpected charge happens it really disappoints the customers... Also we didn't have a trash bag in the room when we arrived.

Verified reviewLoved the pool area and having a kitchen, Staff where lovely and super helpful. It was perfect for us as we just wanted a super chill few days to hang out with family. Lots of bugs but the location of the flat is the reason nothing to do with the resort itself and facilities are super basic again enough for us but maybe not some. Supermarket at the entrance was amazing but beware of its super high prices.

Verified reviewThis whole studio (apartment) definitely did it for me. It is located very, and conveniently, close to the beach and Marina Flamingo, the Massai supermarket right nearby, Banco Nacional just a few blocks away. Great accomodation option, indeed.

Verified reviewNothing
I don’t recommend it, at all. Everything is damaged, broken, rusted or very old. The place is very expensive considering the outdated and bad shape of the place. Not even breakfast, nothing. Curtains as a cheap motel, the door is jammed. It’s a major deception for being so expensive, it’s a ripoff. Don’t come here!

Verified reviewThis beautiful property is in a quiet area, just steps from a supermarket and a short walk to Flamingo Beach. The well-equipped kitchen is perfect for cooking, the bed is comfy, the air conditioning is refreshing, and the pool is right at your doorstep. Frederick is a welcoming and helpful host. I loved my stay and will definitely return!

Verified reviewThe location was amazing! It was close to the beach in Playa Flamingo and the town. It was our first stay in Costa Rica and it was a welcoming experience! The pool was clean, the room bigger than expected, and the hosts were kind!
The apartment could be updated, but it was as expected!

Verified reviewThe Apartment was clean and comfortable and right near the pool which was beautiful- I also loved all of the positive vibes in the form of quotes painted on signs scattered around the grounds. Also the location is really convenient to a grocery store and lots of restaurants and the beautiful beaches nearby. The host was also super helpful and informative and really friendly.
We liked everything.
