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 reviewEverything except the parking lot
The parking lot was too small and I scraped the car having to pay $380 in repairs. Way more than I paid for the hotel room itself.

Verified reviewThe hotel is green with animals coming from time to tome and next to the beach. All the greens over the pool save in the mid of the day when it’s super hot. Any other breakfasts than continental are good and tasty. Hotel is quiet.
The hotel is old, no fridge in the room, not even small teapot. After the room cleaning it’s better not to stay in the room for an hour or so, they put too much chemicals. There are some animals living on the roof you can hear them during the day and night

Verified reviewThe view from the balcony was nice, the garden as well. We came late at night and they checked us in.
The room wasn’t clean; it was sticky everywhere. The WiFi didn’t work at all in our room, so we had to stay on the terrace to use it, and even then, it was really slow.

Verified reviewLocation was perfect. Just off the main strip toward the end of Jaco beach. Fairly clean. Nothing fancy but the AC worked, nice pool, nice balcony. Right on the beach!
Older building. Outlets would spark when you plugged something in. Up charge to put a mini fridge in room and to use the safe. Headboard was falling apart and dirt/wood chips would fall onto bed when you bumped it.

Verified reviewBeing beachfront makes it easy to go back and forth to the beach. The staff is very friendly and always trying to make you feel very comfortable. The pool is small but very nice, warm and clean. It has a restaurant and you can bring the food to your room
Poor WiFi, rooms doesn't have mini fridge which is kind of difficult to maintain fruits when you have a toddler and the curtains are too thin so it is quite bright early morning

Verified reviewGreat location, just short walking distance to the beach. The onsite restaurant was good, serving typical Costa Rican dishes. Breakfast as not included with the room price, but was reasonably priced. Guests were Mostly Americans and some long term guests as well. Small pool, but it was clean. The grounds are tropical and well maintained. The only issue we had was mosquitoes in the room (hope that’s all it was). Otherwise a pleasant experience.
Rooms and beds need updating. No WIFI available in the rooms.

Verified reviewWe left almost immediately as the facilities were not as advertised. They advertise AC but the ac unit didn’t really work and was more of a fan leaving the room sweltering. This is definitely a place for locals to visit.

Verified reviewThe food was fresh and delicious, breakfast was generous. Perfect location on the beach front. Lovely pool. Very thankful to be just outside of the very noisy Jaco center, lots of peace and quiet. Friendly and helpful staff.
I wish there was a mini-fridge, otherwise perfect stay.
