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 reviewStaff was great and very helpful. Breakfast was was sufficient to meet all of our needs and made everyone eggs to order. Relatively close to the Ocotal beach, but walk back up hill may challenge some. It was a safe and secure place to start our Costa Rican Journey. We really enjoyed the Buzz Monkey restaurant a short drive away. Great BBQ and fun atmosphere.

Verified reviewGreat location and very quiet. We loved the pool! Beautiful up close wildlife watching experience. Walkable to the beach.
Overall it was a great place to stay for the night. The room was a bit cozy for a couple and could have been a little cleaner.

Verified reviewIt's a very clean and well taken care of bed and breakfast. The decor is very nice and boho. The rooms are super clean however a bit on the smaller side. There were quite a few hot options for breakfast but I think incorporating something like a fruit smoothie would have been a nice addition
The place is close to the road so you can hear the cars going by. Grounds are well taken care of with a nice little pool area

Verified reviewStaff very nice and the place was great. Nice safe, quiet location though.
The only thing that I missed was the checkout time. I had stayed until 12:00 so I had to pay a $10 fee. But I must have missed it.

Verified reviewThis is a hidden gem of a place and the pictures/online presence do not do it justice. Very friendly staff, robust breakfast, quiet and interesting space once you're inside/on property...a little mini-oasis, and just a quick drive or walk down to the beach. I would stay here again coming or going from the Liberia airport in a heartbeat.

Verified reviewAfter talking to staff, apparently my expectations were unreasonable. It’s a small ( 8 room B&B). They cater to folks who want B$B and do activities during the day. The bedroom was small, spotless and had A/C. We paid extra for a late checkout as the bedroom is the only place for A/C. But that was only for an extra hour. We had to wait an extra 90 min before our checkin and ride to our next accommodation and we’re stuck outside in 37 degrees. Couldn’t access A/C (only in bedrooms) and they didn’t have a water cooler. It is Very close to the beach and staff were good
Web site needs clear information If one room( were we stored our luggage?) had AC that would have been helpful Suggestions for management water cooler and ice available for guests would have made a difference. I eventually got some after complaining. I rarely use A/C and never complain. But the heat this week was unusual and I felt physically ill.

Verified reviewI was concerned because I had booked the rooms for the group and the price was so good. It was a very pleasant surprise. The rooms were small but very clean. The hotel was a short walk to the beach. It was about a 1/2 hour from Liberia airport so it was a good way to still have a bit of a day when we arrived in C.R. There was a decent restaurant on the beach with a good samba band. Breakfast was good. We were happy with the choice.
Thank you so much and we are so happy that you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for the opportunity to host you

Verified reviewThis property is gated - they give you a remote control for the gate when you check in. Our breakfast was cooked to order. The staff were friendly and helpful. Comfortable rooms.
Of all the places we stayed, this was not the best value for money, but for the area it met our needs.
