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.).

The location of this property was absolutely wonderful, a small boutique hotel located on the beach. You can roll out of bed and go straight for a walk. The tie up with larger hotel diria was great to be able to have an included wonderful breakfast. We stayed in the king size sea view room. We sadly had an issue with noise due to animals in the roof (just something that can happen in Costa Rica) but the staff promptly acted on this and switched our room and offered refund for one night. They were helpful and thoughtful. I would very much recommend this place!

United StatesMattresses could have been a little better quality. Street noise was high but that isn't unique to this hotel. If you like to hang out in the room a significant amount of time and drink a lot of coffee maybe not the right hotel for you as it's basic. Coffee is next door at the sister hotel.
Breakfast was great, location to the beach amazing, everything you need in an unusually small hotel. The staff was helpful and friendly. Appreciated the beach access and walkability. Has access to sister property pools which are nice. (Hotel Diria)

We had a great stay here! The king bed was very comfortable, and the hotel was steps from the beach. Breakfast was a short walk away, with a huge variety. Easy to walk to a ton of restaurants. Good wifi and AC.

United StatesParking was about 100 mts same it was the breakfast they were located at their sister property.
Great place in the beach, the staff were so friendly and welcoming and they gave us an upgraded room, we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. The animal shaped towel decorated with flowers was a nice touch and surprise to us. The breakfast was super tasty and lots of options for you to pick because it was buffet style. I would love to come back.

United StatesOur unit #1 is on the first floor near the entrance and reception desk, which was lack of privacy. The early morning bus/truck traffic from the road right outside our windows was very noisy that shook us up every morning around 6am. In addition, although the unit has windows but none of them can be opened. We had expected a peaceful and relaxing vacation, but in reality, we were exhausted and disappointed!
Great location right on the beach, fabulous buffet breakfast, nice pools, friendly and helpful staff!
