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 reviewView was great. My Favorite view was checking out early despite their no refund policy and seeing it in my rear view mirror.
All the ants throughout my rooms covering even electronics and beds. Wifi nonexistent. Pools heating elements have been stripped out and control panel left in place. Master shower corroded to the point you can't even use all shower functions. Staff offered us a can of Off spray to combat the bugs and we were told our wanting to leave early was a normal response. Manager had no spine and went into work late just to avoid us.
Hello Benjamin, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We value all our guests and appreciate your visit to Hotel Mountain Paradise. We would like to take this opportunity to clarify some key points regarding your stay. As our property is located in the heart of the rainforest, it is important to note that the presence of insects is part of the natural environment. While we implement thorough preventive measures to minimize their presence in rooms and common areas, the consumption of food and sweet beverages—such as wine—inside the rooms can inadvertently attract ants, as appeared to be the case during your stay. When your concerns were brought to our attention, our staff responded promptly, offering immediate and practical solutions. However, we noted that none of the alternatives were accepted, which unfortunately limited our ability to resolve the situation to your satisfaction. Additionally, we observed that there were some pending charges left unsettled at our points of sale. We also noticed the absence of two souvenir items after your departure. While we understand that oversights can happen, we trust this may have been an unfortunate misunderstanding. We recognize that not all experiences go as expected, and while we made every effort to address your concerns with priority and care, we feel the cooperation needed to find a mutual solution was not fully present. Despite the challenges, we are grateful you chose to visit us and hope that you were still able to enjoy some moments of the beautiful surroundings we are privileged to be part of. Sincerely, Tania Mora Customer Service Hotel Mountain Paradise

A lounge chair or two by our pool would have been great! The constant bass from the pool bar music all day was a bit annoying. We wanted to hear the birds more than that.

Dinner menu in the restaurant was expensive and not that great. Breakfast (included with the price) could have been better.

Hello Sedgwick, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We would like to clarify that our staff consistently provided courteous and high-quality service, despite the numerous complaints on your part. From the beginning, we offered a category upgrade to improve your stay, as you expressed dissatisfaction with the room you originally booked. Later, when you informed us of your desire to leave, we accommodated your request. However, upon explaining that the refund had to be processed through the website you used to make the reservation, you suddenly changed your mind and decided to stay, demanding additional discounts on other services. It is important to note that our staff remained attentive at all times, doing their utmost to assist you. We deeply regret the disrespectful behavior shown toward our team, as our top priority is ensuring a memorable stay for all our guests. We wish you the best in your future travels and trust that your experiences elsewhere align better with your expectations. Blessings, Tania Mora Customer Service Hotel Mountain Paradise
