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.).

Excellent stay! Easy walk to beach and restaurants. Short drive to many other beaches Lovely host who went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and share local knowledge. Beautiful garden with multiple places to relax. Comfortable room that was spotlessly clean. Large bathroom with spacious shower. Fantastic breakfast of fresh tropical fruits, yogurt and granola and home made French style pastries. Great coffee and a wide selection of teas. Outdoor shared kitchen if you choose to cook.

United StatesThere isn't much storage in the room. But we just unpacked the absolute necessities and that was fine. You don't need much at the beach.
We loved our stay at this small family hotel run by Pierre and Agnes. They built everything from the ground up themselves and it's absolutely charming. Our room was comfortable and we loved the rainforest shower. It feels like a small oasis - we stepped through the gate and it's a beautiful white stone courtyard with a small pool and lounge chairs, an outdoor kitchen and dining areas. They provide beach supplies (towels, boogie boards, chairs, sunscreen) which was very convenient. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. Pierre bakes all the bread himself. We enjoyed the area and surrounding beaches a lot and Agnes and Pierre were always available for any questions. We were sad to leave.

Czech RepublicTABASCO is a pleasant Mexican-style oasis with friendly French hosts, uniquely located near the beach, restaurants, and bars. I was pleasantly surprised not only by the generous breakfast but also by the fact that they served freshly baked pastries made by their own hands. I also appreciated that they lent me beach chairs, provided beach towels, and even did quite a lot of my laundry. Other small details—like ice cubes in containers or insect repellent—only added to the thoughtful care the hosts showed. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. I especially liked that there were two sinks in the bathroom. I highly recommend it.

Hosts were very accommodating. We stayed 5 nights and it worked out to be a convenient location for us. The room was very clean and the grounds were very well maintained. Fresh breakfast was served every morning. Location was excellent! Just a short walk to the beach and walking distance to several nice restaurants. I would highly recommend!

Canadathere is not much we didn't enjoy!
We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Tabasco - we enjoyed the beach that is a block away, and also many other beaches that are 5 mn drives from Potrero (Penca, Conchal, Flamingo, etc.). Agnes and Pierre are such lovely hosts, making the best fresh breakfasts every day and ensuring you have everything you need. A nice touch: they provided beach chairs and body boards for all our beach adventures, and we could use a communal kitchen to make food & drinks !

Awesome breakfast (homemade marmelades and croissant and other breads), four different types of fruits, scrambled eggs, yogurt with granola, coffee from the espresso machine. The hosts are the best we have ever had (and I visited 35 countries), they are very helpful and nice people all around. Location is next to the beach (3 min walk). Room is sparkling clean, has hot water (unlike other places in Costa Rica).

United StatesSmall and intimate with personal service. Beautiful breakfast. Chairs and towels were available to use at the beach. Great location to walk to restaurants and short drives to other beaches . Our room was beside a restaurant, and we were concerned about the noise, but it was not an issue for sleeping as the restaurant closes early and the room was very quiet inside . Great water pressure in the shower, with hot water as well.

United StatesAbsolutely Exceptional Stay – A True Hidden Gem! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The property is stunning – impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and filled with thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. The attention to detail was remarkable. Our host was incredibly kind, responsive, and went out of their way to ensure we had a perfect experience. They provided everything we needed throughout our stay. The location was perfect – peaceful and, yet just a short drive to all the main attractions, restaurants, and shops. Waking up to the serene views every morning was a dream. We truly didn’t want to leave and are already planning our return. If you’re looking for a place that combines comfort, style, and exceptional hospitality, this is it. Highly, highly recommend!

They provide beach towels and other gear. At least two excellent restaurants are within blocks (Hemmingway's and La Forketta). We had dinner at Hemmingway's and watched the sunset while a talented saxophonist played Sittin' n the Dock of the Bay. It was a great experience.
