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 reviewWe loved everything about this hotel! It was beautiful and cozy, and had lovely facilities including a nice big common area with lots of beautiful plants, hammocks and sofas to relax in, and a pool area as well. The rooms were nice and clean, everything was in good condition and the staff and owner were the nicest, most helpful people you could imagine. A wonderful place to stay! We would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Uvita.

The hot water isn’t real hot if it’s not sunny outside. It depends on the weather.

Verified reviewPierre and his staff went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed for my stay and more. I ended up extending my stay for a few days because I loved the hotel so much! Great vibes for everyone from solo travelers to families.

Verified reviewVery easy to book trips there, the staff was really friendly and gave us many information. Very nicely decorated and cute place, hammocks in the common area which create a very nice atmosphere and a good place to hang out, no matter if you have a shared or private room. The kitchen is also good. The breakfast was very tasty - a traditional gallo pinto that we liked a lot.
We booked with the breakfast included but one of our day trips started earlier than the breakfast. Usually, I've seen hotels and hostels prepare a breakfast package in this case (especially since we booked through the hotel) but this was not possible here which we thought was unfortunate.

Verified reviewHave stayed here multiple times, and it's always clean, comfortable, and safe. Super friendly staff (Sebastian is the best!!) and a short walk to our favorite restaurant in the area (Mosaic for wine & sushi). Best value option in the Uvita area!

Verified reviewPierre, the owner, is one-of-a-kind. No matter how busy he is, he takes the time to help guests with whatever they need - from restaurant recommendations to just listening when you need someone to talk to. The entire staff is friendly and efficient. If there was a 5-star rating for the best place to stay, Tucan would get 6! - CTS
I loved everything about the hotel! The town is a bit boring (it "rolls up the sidewalks" around 8 pm), but the beaches are first-class.

You could hear the highway very well and the sliding door fell out of its holding. The local receptionist was not that friendly and seemed to be very annoyed by the guests

Verified reviewWe absolutely loved our stay at Tucan hotel. Pierre the owner is great and his staff also very friendly and they provide good tips and support to make the best of your stay. It’s a cool mix between hotel service and hostel flair, everything was clean and a very good bakery is next door. We can totally recommend staying here when in Uvita.
