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 reviewGood location. Nice views. Good space inside.
Not advertised honestly. Pictures show different. It is not a private unit but attached to owners house - so you are sharing the driveway, garden ànd jacussi which was broken. Upstairs bedroom is on other side of owners bedroom. Also the first day workers started thumping at 6 am and power washing at 8 am. So loud Absolutely no privacy with windows open. No air conditioning either so need to keep windows open for air. Host should have advised that these units are à shared space ànd that jacussi was broken. That’s why we booked it. The unit needs a deep clean as well. Found ants beside the fridge. Floors were sticky. Windows dirty. The sliding door tracks filthy full of dirt and hair. Hairs on floor too. We asked the host to discount us for all mentioned above ànd he said no he couldn’t. We are also Airbnb super hosts ànd know how to treat our clients and attend to details. This place offers a good view ànd location but has a way to go to improve. Also dog poo all over lawn. So had to walk carefully. This didn’t make sense when the Gardners were there ànd didn’t clean up any of this. I recommend you ask the host before booking what is working ànd what construction is going on right behind and around this property because there is a lot and they start early. Won’t be staying here again or recommending.

Verified reviewGreat location and the hosts made it very easy to get in and out and be comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay at would definitely recommend this place and we look forward to coming back soon!
The place was great and do not really have any complaints. We didn't know how to turn the fan on in the living room but that was our own problem :-)

Verified reviewEverything! Try the hot tub at night over looking the view, you won't regret it. I kept the sliding doors open all night for the breeze. Very very secure no insects flew in.

Verified reviewSpacious, comfortable, nicely decorated & nice view of city
Property would benefit from air conditioning in bedrooms & new pillows (some are a bit lumpy & uncomfortable). As jacuzzi is not included in price - this should be clear in the facilities included. €30 p/h too much.

Verified reviewThe apartment was FULLY equipped with every convenience. We had two balconies, one off the bedroom and the other off the great room. Cleaning service midweek was unexpected and welcome. We plan to return next year.

Verified reviewThis lovely property has a stunning view of Escazu and San Jose. It is very secure both for the house and for parking. Premises are clean and well equipped. Communication with the owner was very good. Great value for the money. We would definitely stay there again or recommend it to others.
If possible a bigger shower head in the upstairs bedroom would be more effective.

Verified reviewVery nice duplex apartment with great views very well located if you have a car.
The welcome wine bottle appears to be a gift but it’s not and it’s fairly overpriced. The midweek cleaning could be more thorough.

Verified reviewPerfect location (5 mn away from town and yet pretty distant from the city noise) Good security Excellent internet Good view Friendly and helpful host Although the fridge was making terrible noise at my arrival and the safe box was not working, the host solved both problems pretty quickly.
The 2 owner's dogs can be noisy at times The house can be hot and there is no AC, just simple ventilators that are not enough. Luckily there is the possibility to open windows on both sides to allow more airflow. The owners are making some repair-improvements that can be noisy

Verified reviewThe view is amazing. The beautiful big dogs and enclosed property provide a sense of a safe and secure stay. The property management team is very clear in sharing expectations and kindly provided water bottles and coffee. The kitchen had the necessary tools to cook breakfast and the table enough seating to dine together.
The beautiful property doesn't have an elevator so luggage must be carried up the steps. Notwithstanding, the lack of air-conditioned spaces, only fans.

Verified reviewThe host was friendly and communicative, and we liked getting to say hello to the friendly dogs on the property. The apartment is beautiful with excellent views and very good privacy, and it feels very secure with a gate around the property. The master bedroom has a sliding glass door with a small balcony looking over the city, and one wall in the living room folds open to offer access to the main floor balcony, so there is very good lighting and ventilation. There is good water pressure and hot water in the showers. The whole unit was very clean and furnishings were of good quality, and it was very convenient to have a washing machine. I worked online during part of our trip, so it was very helpful to have a second bedroom space with desk to work from, and the WiFi was very good quality for video calls.
I am from the US originally and prefer a very soft bed (not common in Costa Rica). While the mattresses were very good quality, I was recovering from a surgery and would have appreciated a mattress pad cover to make it softer. One additional note is that the jacuzzi in the listing is an additional paid option, not included in the rental.

Verified reviewThe apartment was located in a very nice suburb near the city. You defiantly needed a car but most things were close. There were a few walkable places near by but a car is best. the apartment was lovely! very clean, sleek, and the view was amazing. The owner was very responsive and left water, tea, and coffee for you to enjoy. The unit had a washer (no dryer) and came equipped with a full kitchen, towels, and Netflix access. I would highly recommend this apartment for your stay in San Jose.
nothing - all perfect!
