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.).

This hotel feels secure and has a secure lot for the car and the staff was quite helpful. It has all the charm a corporate hotel and I would recommend a place to spend the night on your way in or out Costa Rica.

United StatesThe good value means the decor is a bit dated inside the rooms. However, it is very clean.
Ease of access to facilities. Laundry on second floor . Buffet breakfast Coffee, fruit, cereal, gallo pinto, eggs. Central to tours and shuttle pick up Shuttle to airport access for smaller fee most days . Verify which days. Access to city parks, souvenir shops, and not far from Jade museum , national museum, gold museum , and national theater. A tourist hub, that’s a good thing if you are new to CR. Recommended for a stay between shuttles and tours to access the city. Nice comfortable lobby and sitting areas. On site restaurant , a bit expensive, but does have substantial meals and drinks. 2 blocks to MUSI if collecting bread, beer, soda , or empanadas for shuttle ride out of town. ( You need food for the journey)

United StatesWe had no complaints about the hotel. Everything was better than satisfactory, and the location was excellent for exploring the city center.
This is an American-style hotel in the heart of downtown San Jose, within just a few blocks of three major museums and several parks & restaurants, as well as the Plaza de la Cultura and the National Theatre. The hotel offers all the important amenities to the business or personal traveler - comfortable beds and bedding, good service by staff, a better-than-average breakfast buffet, adequate toiletries, fluffy towels and a spotless bathroom, very good lighting, reliable free WiFi and protected parking.

United StatesOne complaint is that when you go from the hotel to the hotel restaurant you have to go through the "smokers gauntlet". There is an open area and the smokers congregate there and you have to hold your breath. They really need to move them from that area to someplace else, maybe to Pitcairn Island. Also water pressure in the shower could be better.
Have stayed here many times before. Nice hotel, safe with much security. Breakfast provided daily is always fresh and ample. The hotel restaurant has good food at all times. I like staying here everything always works upkeep good. Usually a quiet business and family hotel.

United KingdomThe shower was cold the first day and the rooms are a little dark, it's an older hotel so I guess it's how it was designed but you rely on lamps rather than ceiling lights
I was able to drop my bags off early and it was mentioned that I might be able to check in early, however when I returned my room wasn't ready so Donovan did what he could to find another for me - it was definitely appreciated The room was spacious and a very short walk to the centre
