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 reviewHad an amazing time at Plaza Yara. The staff was super friendly and the pool area and breakfast was above expectations. Would definatelly recommend and hope to stay there again.
There were almost no pavements to walk to nearby restaurants. The area is not very walkable and I would recommend guests to have their own car for the best experience.

Verified reviewFrom the terrace of our room, we enjoyed the sounds of birds and even spotted a toucan. Mauriel was incredibly friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious, and the pool was clean and very relaxing.
There’s no restaurant on the property, and a poolside bar would be a great addition

Verified reviewLovely boutique hotel, decorated with a lot of thought in common areas as well in the rooms. Two gorgeous pools, which are cleaned daily. Room are equipped with fridge, microwave and coffee maker and free coffee and popcorn. Everything is super clean. Delicious breakfast with different options to choose from. It’s obvious the hotel goes that extra for the guests. As a bonus one gets to enjoy the art gallery which serves as reception and two cute little bulldogs which love being petted. We liked it that much, we actually extended our stay by one night to relax and enjoy.

Verified reviewWe had a big, comfortable and spotless room with a kitchen and nice garden view. Hotel offers great breakfast and has 2 clean swimming pools. One-minute walk to a bus stop is a big advantage for travelers without car. Two cute dogs in the reception/art gallery area always made us smile.

Verified reviewLoved the friendly staff, the breakfast, and the room. The property has a pool and close to the bus stop for taking a bus to Manuel Antonio.
It was a bit far from restaurants and other food choices in the area, especially if you don't have a car.

Verified reviewGorgeous pool and beautiful rooms. Loved the lobby area and outdoor spaces. Though located on the side of a busy road, one felt immersed in nature. Very friendly staff!
It is on a busy road but this also makes it convenient to access.

Verified reviewWe had an amazing time here. The staff were so lovely & helpful and went above and beyond for us. The room we had was very large and spacious with massive floor to ceiling windows overlooking the trees and the wildlife. We were lucky to see monkeys and macaws from our room. Lovely pool and areas to relax. Kitchenette with microwave, coffee machine and fridge. Great breakfast and so comfortable. Lovely comfy big beds and great shower. We didn’t have a car but it was easy to get a taxi or Uber 5 mins to Manuel Antonio, the National Park, the beach or in the other direction to Quepos. Can’t recommend enough.
