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):
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.
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.).

This is my second time staying here- last time was about 5 years ago. I drove with a rented car to Drake Bay- taking the small car ferry from Sierpe to Drake Bay- an amazing drive to be done with a 4 wheel drive high clearance vehicle, dirt roads, some areas paved, through the jungle. Drake Bay is not the destination for me- it is Sirena Station in Corcovado National Park. Being in Drake Bay eliminates the long boat ride from Sierpe. This place that I stayed is my favorite in Drake Bay because the view from the cabin is Drake Bay itself, you can see scarlet Macaws flying by and various other birds. The woman at the front desk allowed us to leave our suitcase in the office while we were gone for 2 nights staying at Sirena Station- and we kept our rental car parked on the street out front for the 2 nights- there is not off street parking- but everything was fine. This place also has tours that they run and offer. The meeting place for our boat to Sirena was down the hill- a short walk to the main beach, where all the boats come in in the morning to take everyone to Sirena. It is convenient, once the car was parked, we walked to dinner, and down the hill to the boat. Easy, great view, and you cannot beat the price for what you are getting, and storage of suitcases. My favorite Drake Bay place to stay.

The location was perfect and the cabins themselves were great. They had a beautiful ocean view, were very clean and all amenities were as described. It was walking distance to restaurants, the beach and trails. The staff was very helpful and communicative. Would recommend.

Amazing location, friendly and helpful staff, property looked after your luggage when you check out if you’re spending nights in Corcovado. Amazing view from the balcony of Drakes Bay and beach. Walking to your meeting point 200m away for all boat transfers to Corcovado and short walk to restaurant and supermarkets. Toucans and beautiful birds everywhere! Air con was great.

United StatesWarmer showers and a screen door, maybe? But really, this place is excellent value for the money and we were delighted with it.
We had a great stay at Pacheco Cabins! When you book this cabin, you get not only a place to stay in wonderful Drake Bay, but a welcoming and knowledgeable host in Erick, who also arranged several tours for us, met us on arrival and answered all of our questions over the course of the week. In the front of the cabin, you exit through Erick's office onto the main street of town (an easy going and friendly little place), convenient for restaurants, shops, and a short walk to the nearest beach. From the back porch of the cabin, you would never know you are in a town, with a peaceful view over the bay, a fun place to relax, watch the birds and lizards, and watch the local kids playing soccer. The room itself is spacious and comfortable.

GermanyThere are some rules that need to be respected when entering the national park, e.g. that no plastic bottles are allowed. It would be helpful to have this information a few days in advance.
We stayed one night at the hotel and booked an overnight tour in the Corcovado national park the next day with Pacheco Tours. The organisation of both was very smooth, our host Erick also reserved our boat from Sierpe to Drake Bay. The hotel is near the beach and therefore easily reachable, and the room was clean, had an amazing view and AC. Erick also helped us in booking the overnight tour with our guide Breyner. The overnight tour was an amazing experience. Breyner walked all the trails of the national park with us, where we could see many animals, and Breyner explained a lot about them.
