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.).

United States1. No GYM!! A few wooden disks and some sticks doesn’t qualify as a gym. 2. This is a hotel located by the beach but it is NOT a beach hotel. What I mean is that they don’t make it appealing to spend time at the beach… no lounge chairs, no tables, no umbrellas, no service. No drinks, no water, no servers. If you go to the beach, prepare yourself to sit on the sand and not be very comfortable. They also have a pool in their top floor and we spent hours without a single soul coming to check on us to see if we wanted anything to eat or drink.
Nice hotel, well maintained and very clean. Very friendly staff and the rooms are quite nice.

Costa RicaThe buffet breakfast has lowered quality vs previous visits. The scrambled eggs were awful the three mornings and the whole breakfast used to have higher quality in proteins overall.
Definitely location is the best plus the friendly staff. Specially Arturo and the waiters in the night shift. Bed is comfy and the room has a nice size.

Costa RicaThe change or rates the night before we were set to travel
I booked with Booking.com at a rate of $285 per night. The night before I traveled I got a call from the hotel indicating that I needed to pay to hold the reservation and that the rate was $80 more per night. This is not right and should be unacceptable to you at Booking.com

United StatesBecause it was in a public community area, others can walk behind the property, it was not a deal breaker.
Very charming property in a high end and very nice community. Lots to do right out the back door, located a few steps from the beach. Hiking amd biking trails and rental, surfing and kayaking too. The interior was tasfully done with old world and modern mixed. Roof top bar and pool to watch the sunsets. The ocean was swimmable and the crashing of the waves day and night set the tone as you eat on the rear patio. The smell of lavender was present and the sound of many types of birds filled the air. I highly recommend this property if you like a quiet and quant boutique hotels. It is also in walking distance of shopping, bars and restaurants, and an outside workout facility.

United StatesI think a larger pool on ground level to accommodate more people. Pool was too small.
Very clean, very quiet on side of the ocean and at night but there was a lot of construction noises in area during the day. Always a chair by the ocean to sit.

Costa RicaIn the description never mention nothing about extra charges to use the Gym, and is very expensive for the price.
The perfect spot! The hotel is better than descrition and photos is closer to Dantitas (best beach in the area) and in front of Danta, for another hand is closer to Pietra, Penca, Potrero and Flamingo. In the area I have enough restaurants even Gluten Free options. Congrats Arturo best concierge ever

GermanyThe breakfast was ok but not what you would expect from such a hotel. Especially as the dinner arrangement was always wonderful. For breakfast the buffet was very American style and the atmosphere was not really for staying longer than necessary.
A really beautiful hotel in the village of las Catalinas. We celebrated Christmas and New Year in this place and both the hotel and the village itself were really something special. We enjoyed the beautiful hotel, the terrace of our room and the beautiful decoration and spacious room. It was perfect for a family trip. The staff was very friendly and professional and was helping out whenever we needed something. Dinner on the terrace of the hotel was wonderful.

United StatesWell the overall the place is great. The one problem and I'm sure with other travelers, that you're very limited to other options of food other than what's on the facility. And if you had to travel to get to other places, Uber is limited. Also and I think this is most important, the beach area needs an overall change. The branches and down trees is just not a great look for that resort. If the beach area had a curb appeal to it, this would be the ideal resort.
We didn't have the breakfast there. I wasn't sure my stay included the breakfast which I didn't think it didn't. So we didn't have any.

Beautiful property and on the a quiet beach. The staff were absolutely fantastic and helpful. The area Catalinas is a tad remote since they are slowly building a small village which am sure will be beautiful as far as we can see. The food at the hotel was not great and the prices are insane. Catalinas is very expensive for being in Costa Rica n out of our whole trip the food was the worst on this part of Costa Rica. I would suggest going to eat at Potrero beach down the road better food n reasonable prices.
