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 reviewThe communal dining area had a nice outlook onto the river and it was a quiet location away from the main town
Our room was a little tired & cramped for 4 people. The bathroom in particular could do with an upgrade.

Verified reviewAfter arriving we were somewhat disappointed with the original booking. The staff were excellent and were able to upgrade us to a glamping suite. The resort was clean and very relaxing. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly.
The original booking was slightly misleading.

Verified reviewIt is difficult to rate this stay, as Tortuguero is a unique and remote location where I understand it can be challenging to build infrastructure or source fresh food. That said, I found the price for one night in the glamping accommodation quite high for what is offered. The gardens are beautiful and the setting is lovely, but the breakfast fell well below expectations. Overall, I would rate my stay a 4 out of 5. If I were to return to Tortuguero, I would likely explore other accommodation options
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your recent stay. We truly appreciate your recognition of our gardens and unique natural setting. We understand that Tortuguero’s remote location presents certain logistical challenges, and we’re sorry to hear that breakfast did not meet your expectations. Your feedback is valuable, and we will review our offerings to improve the overall guest experience. We hope you enjoyed discovering Tortuguero and its wonders, and we wish you the best in your future travels. Kind regards, Valverde Glamping & Ecolodge

Due to the location, boat is needed to join the Tortugero village.
Thank you for your kind words and for highlighting our service, comfort, and unique location surrounded by nature.

Regarding access to Tortuguero village, indeed, our location across the lagoon offers a more tranquil setting, and we provide our complimentary boat service four times a day to make it as convenient as possible.

We have already taken corrective measures to ensure this does not happen again, including a full inspection and maintenance of the affected room.

Verified reviewGreat staff, great rooms comfortable and clean (bathroom a bit outdated but decent), great pool, nice meals
Though there were 3 free boats per day in and out Tortuguero from the hotel, if you need to do the trip outside the schedules you'll need to pay the taxi yourself, 2000 CRC per person. Keep that in mind when you book it
Thank you so much for your kind and detailed review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the comfort of the rooms, our pool, meals, and especially the service from our team. 😊 Regarding the boat schedules, you're absolutely right — we offer three free transfers daily, and outside those times, a local water taxi service is available at a small additional cost. We appreciate you pointing that out for future guests and hope to welcome you back again soon! 🌿🚤

The food is a little bit expensive and the boat to the city at awkward hours. Remember to add that expense on your calculations.
Dear guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, the beautiful views, and the opportunity to spot wildlife like monkeys and hummingbirds — that’s exactly the kind of connection with nature we love to offer. Regarding your comment about the boat schedule, we truly appreciate the feedback. Our boat departures are set based on the times most frequently requested by guests in the past. However, we understand that they may not always align with everyone’s preferences, and we’re currently evaluating ways to improve flexibility in that service. Thank you also for your comments on our food. We’re glad you found it flavourful! Our prices reflect our commitment to fresh ingredients and sustainable practices in a remote location, but we’re always working to offer the best possible value. We hope to welcome you back to Tortuguero in the future! Warm regards, Valverde Glamping & Ecolodge 🌿 valverdetortuguero.com
