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.).

I love the amazing views,the pool, the place is just beautiful. The host provided us with the information about beaches, things to do, she let us know about the birds that are in the property, also the place is very close to the national park.

Like staying with family or friends or even with a local. Excellent infrastructure MUCH appreciated. Costa Rica is about the adventure and we really did not mind some of the typical CR nuances like not being able to flush toilet paper and the so-called “suicide shower” heads (don’t worry, we had many and they are fine) or spotty internet. However, we did certainly appreciate that Jan had provided such great reliable infrastructure! Great internet - fiber with backup option HOT shower with pressure - not the CR shower head Flush toilets compared to paper in basket Reliable power - solar backup Great a/c Quiet and private with expected “life noise” - parrots and other jungle sounds, motor bikes, dogs. Nothing that bothered us at all. Completely safe, gated, free parking Water drinkable - has been everywhere Coffee, sugar, oil, salt pepper, some spices Full refer, drip coffee, microwave, cooktop Toaster oven, tabletop baking oven, toaster Big bed - quite firm Books, games Room to spread out and be comfortable Two separate baths with showers - liquid hand soap provided along with some shampoo/conditioner Two small but sufficient TVs Lounging area Some reviews mention cleanliness. It is clean enough and where it counts. No bugs or other creatures inside or anything else that bothered me and I am a clean freak. It felt lived in or like staying a friend’s house or with a local family. We were at the end of traveling Costa Rica for a month and felt very comfortable relaxing and winding down here. Clean pool - bug spray, sunblock available Host onsite - very helpful, speaks English Not easily walkable to things but lots of taxis in Quepos. If you are there for a while I recommend renting a car for a few days. I am sure Jan could help you arrange that. Recommendations: Extreme M&R for rafting - Jason Luis Marjorie Chile bus tacos - cute little food court with massive and yummy burritos.

Everything was really great. The apartment, the pool, the view. Very well equipped and very comfortable. Easy walk to town and the harbour / waterfront where we enjoyed the local town vibe and watching pelicans diving. The local people were brilliant, happily pointing out wildlife in town for us ! We had never seen as many huge iguanas before and we didn’t need to go to a national park, just walk through town ! Very near to different attractions. But most all Jan and her husband Ken were fantastic. Really helpful and friendly. The three dogs were lovely, and they clearly enjoyed escaping through the gate when we opened it!!

United KingdomThis is a lovely apartment, one of two rented out at the owner’s home. The other is let to a long term tenant who we never saw so it felt like we had the facilities to ourselves. Very spacious room with a huge bed plus sofa, table & chairs, kitchen area and bathroom. It’s located in an elevated position on the edge of town which provides for great views to the ocean from the terrace and pool. Jan and Ken are great hosts and Jan went out of her way to help us through a couple of issues we had over the time we were staying there. 15-20 minute walk to the town centre, slightly longer to the marina where there are great restaurants.

United StatesThis was the second time I visited Casa Puesta del Sol. I had such a great time the first time I came with my husband, that I decided to revist this time to show off Manuel Antonio on a girlfriends' vacation. Just like last time, the host was fabulous. So friendly and helpful. We only had two days in the area, so she gave us the scoop on where to go. The apartment was cozy and clean with a view over the mangrove. Beautiful sunsets! And an unobstructed view from the pool. A tropical paradise!! Anytime I come to this area, I plan on coming back to Casa Puesta del Sol. An amazing value for the price.

United StatesGreat pool. Fun Garden to explore. Birdwatching amenities.
It’s in a perfect location to go both north and south on the West Coast of Costa Rica. It’s far enough away from the city (5 minutes) to be quiet and yet close enough to be minutes from most stores and the marina.

United KingdomJan's place was just lovely, and so was she! The flat was comfortable, characterful and private, with a lovely balcony. The shared pool is gorgeous, with a wonderful view. Jan is so generous and interesting, and we loved having a chat. The friendly dogs were fun to cuddle as well. Quepos is a great little place (much better than Manuel Antonio). Make sure you visit the Bon Bonete French patisserie, and the market on Friday and Saturday for great fruit, veg and crafts.

SpainWe loved everything but maybe if we have to say something, prepare to be surrounded by the wildness of the jungle, meaning that there will be toads, big lizards, spiders, etc, but honestly, that was part of the experience of Costa Rica too!
A true gem, hidden in the hills of Quepos, this accommodation has stunning views of the jungle and ocean, especially the sunsets! You can enjoy them from the swimming pool too! Jan and Ken were amazing, responding very promptly and ensuring we have everything needed, even snorkel equipment and towels. You get a whole apartment, fully equipped kitchen, 2 bathrooms both with showers, lots of space, aircon, terrace with chairs to enjoy the colibries, parrots and stunning views. We loved the dogs too, Marco and Chichi!

LithuaniaOur family liked everything about this apartment. Spacious two large rooms and two bathrooms apartment with amazing view from the balcony! Kitchen is fully equipped, bed comfortable. Pool area and the view to forest and ocean is must to be mentioned as superb!!! Our daughter was enjoying private pool everyday. There's also beach equipment, that you can take with you to the beach. Location is absolutely perfect, not far from downtown but on the high hill, so you feel like in the middle of nature. Owner is very nice lady, she gave us advices about the beaches, restaurants and etc., also told us interesting things about living in Costa Rica. By the way birds, lizards, Iguanas ar the ones you'll meet around the house. O can recommend this place 100% to anyone staying in Quepos.
