How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewA liittle paradise in the center of Jacó. Such a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere! Very well maintained and beautiful garden with butterflies, iguanas, squirrels. You can hear both, the ocean which is just a few meters away and the birds in the trees around you. The little apartment was modern and very clean. TV and AC worked perfectly. The pool was also very clean and quite nice to swim in. Plenty of space around it or in the garden to enjoy. Private entrance to Jaco beach only a few meters to the main street with all these restaurants, shops and cafes etc (but incredibly quiet!) friendly staff
shampoo, shower gel and body lotion in the bathroom would have been nice instead of just a piece of soap. But really a minor issue

Verified reviewIt was a garden oasis in the middle of Jaco. I could hear the waves and countless birds without hearing the parties in Jaco.
Opening and closing the gates was not great but ir provided excellent security on the property.

Verified reviewA well-appointed spacious chalet with a fully equipped kitchen. Chalet is renovated and everything is new and have direct access to the beach. Location is great with a short walk to the main road, restaurants and supermarkets.
Looks deserted upon checked in but there are other guests staying in the chalets. The hotel only has chalets. There are no restaurants in the hotel. Although there is a security guard at late night, you have to open and close the gate to the hotel yourself at late night.

Verified reviewBeautiful garden and pool area.
We had booked a family apartment via Booking, which according to the description was supposed to be 90 m² in size and equipped with three French double beds. Unfortunately, the reality was very different. The apartment was at most half the size and there were only two real beds - the third "bed" was just a pull-out drawer under a bed, so absolutely not suitable, especially as this was also extremely uncomfortable. Unfortunately, the staff were not at all cooperative when we asked. We were not offered an alternative, nor did they seem to take the problem seriously. This is particularly disappointing because the complex itself is really nice and the rooms (apart from the incorrect description) would have been fine. But false information in combination with a lack of service - that's not on. Unfortunately, therefore, no recommendation from our side. The rooms are only cleaned, the towels replaced and the garbage bins emptied on request.
