Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesThe interior was basic, but complete. It's an eco lodge, so in my opinion one should not expect luxury. The main disappointment were the fans in our lodge. They were quite shabby. There's no aircon, so you really need them at night.
Simply a very nice ECO location. Beautiful surroundings and very pleasant staff. We enjoyed their homemade breakfast and dinner. The manager is great source of reliable information. I recommend the river hike!

United KingdomSome aspects were a little too rustic for me and past their best (light fittings etc), and - as expected - it’s by no means shiny accommodation, but it was great value with wonderful eco credentials.
Our hosts were incredible - serving us delicious, healthy and hearty breakfasts and dinners, William’s care to assist us with bookings and arrange a perfect birthday cake surprise for our youngest; Esteban’s fun and informative hike and tour of the local river and waterfall, and the gorgeous, friendly, resident pet cats and dogs who delighted our boys with their company from the moment we arrived. Such a natural and beautiful location, with a waterfall-fed pool in the middle of the jungle. A fantastic first stop in Costa Rica for our family. We loved the sustainability aspect of this accommodation.

United StatesI wish there was AC for those real hot days, but the fans in the rooms helped. I wish the restrooms were a bit bigger.
The staff were great, the rooms are big, the property is beautiful. Hearing the rain coming down is so relaxing. The shared lounge area has a hammock, fridge and sink area. Very nice restaurant 5 minute walk away.

United StatesOur room was very, very spartan and the one picture over our bed was ...Cape Cod I think? Just a colorful pillow or something local and colorful on the wall would have been nice. Also the jungle paths contained some discarded wrappers etc. a bummer when you want to be immersed in nature.
I loved the jungle paths down to the pools..the natural surroundings. The food was some of the most delicious we had during our stay in Costa Rica. Walking down to the dining area and having breakfast looking out on trees and the birds was lovely. I loved having a hammock outside our room. It was also quiet and removed from road noise.

United Kingdomthe room configuration was a bit confusing so we ended up getting two rooms when the small house they had would have been fine. It was too late to change it
Rustic but lovely. You need a 4x4 ideally to get there though a cat could manage it. William was very good at communication

United StatesThe facilities we’re a bit crude. No problem for me, but the teenage girl was afraid bugs or worse could get in to our cabin.
Each cabin was separated from the rest, do you feel like you’re out in the middle of the forest.

CanadaOur only suggestion would be to offer basic room servicing for longer stays—emptying garbage, fresh towels, and a quick sweep every couple of days would make a big difference. Overall, a fantastic place to relax and connect with nature.
We had a wonderful five-night stay at this beautiful ecolodge. The rooms are spacious, the views are stunning, and the property is truly serene. Meals were delicious, and we loved meeting fellow travelers from around the world. The guided nature hike was a highlight—challenging, fun, and informative. Staff were friendly, especially Anderson, and the two dogs and cats added charm to the experience.

JordanOur second time back to Princesa de la Luna because we love it so much! Perfect authentic, eco-lodge experience. In the heart of the forest but conveniently close to La Fortuna. It's magical and the staff is so welcoming. Breakfasts are our favorite and enjoying the gorgeous views from the porch. We also love walking around on the different trails around the property.

I loved this place! The location was absolutely stunning, William who takes care of the place was incredibly kind and helpful. I suggest everyone to join the family style dinner. It was one of the best meals I had in Costa Rica. Fresh, delicate and honest. Banana pancake for breakfast was absolutely yummy. This place feels like true paradise, with exotic birds and sloths hanging around. The property is huge so you can take a walk following the trails.

Costa RicaThe facilities are getting a bit run down, details like missing screens etc. Having said that, the rooms are spacious and the layout feels tradition and welcoming — it just needs some attention. Loved the mature gardens.
Immersed in nature with beautiful location on the side of Arenal. What really makes this property are the staff! You feel the warm welcome of Costa Ricans at Princesa. We loved the welcome dogs and the laid back vibe of the place. I would definitely stay again!

United StatesIt was kind of confusing figuring out where check-in/reception and the restaurant was. Both are located at the eastern end of the property. There was no signage or anything. Road leading up to the lodges is kind of rundown. I recommend using a higher clearance vehicle to get there.
Quiet, remote location surrounded by the rainforest. Friendly staff.

United StatesPool was very remote down a ravine with muddy uneven steps making it difficult amd unsuitable for young kids. Holiday home, better described as open air cabin, while surrounded by fruit trees is separated from main property (has the view of the volcano). Mosquitoes were prevalent.

The location is just fantastic, with beautiful rainforest surrounding it and the ability to witness animals in their natural habitat from the comfort of your balcony. The staff were all hugely welcoming and friendly, in particular Anderson. All of the meals we had were delicious, and we loved the different juices each day. The river walk we did was joyous, and we learnt lots of interesting facts from the guides. It included a waterfall, which was perfect for pictures. Overall, it was a fabulous experience. I would definitely recommend!

United StatesThe room was very rudimentary. In C.R. you don't hang out in your room, you hang out in the outdoor area where the chairs and couches are (it's a shared area so you may have to get to know the people next door. The room itself had no A/C, just a fan, and no screens on the windows so if you opened the windows at night to cool off many bugs were going to end up in the room. No chairs, the only furniture was the beds and one night stand, along with the rack shelving. No lamps - the lighting was two very bright and harsh overhead bare light bulbs.
A great location (sort of remote, a few miles up a typical Costa Rican dirt road), the grounds are great and there are lots of Toucans in the area. The "adventure tour" they offer takes you down to a waterfall and then you basically walk in the river to where the tour ends. It was great! There is a pretty good restaurant right across the road (Chicas).

United StatesVery rustic- no AC but they had fans in every room which helped a lot- but no windows opened in the living room- so that room was always very hot despite the fan. It had a washer- but I have never seen anything quite like it- it was like you washed in one side and then spun in the other. There was not a dryer and no place to hang dry anything- so we weren’t able to do any laundry (which I was expecting to do).
Very private- our room/casa has an amazing outdoor space with hammocks that we all loved. There was an onsite waterfall and 2 stream fed pools as well. Owner William and Anderson were both very helpful.
