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.).

Costa RicaThe driveway to the establishment is a little precarious and you have to be very careful when you are backing up.
I like the small pool. The staff is excellent and accommodating to your needs. Very friendly and very helpful. Have a coffee maker in my room which is almost a necessity for me.

Costa RicaThis time I didn't encounter the motorcycle races that I had before and the dogs are barking at night it was quiet and I slept well.
I really enjoyed the pool even though it's small but I was by myself so there wasn't a whole lot of activity there. I had a room with a small refrigerator and coffee maker and being the coffee enthusiast that I am I was grateful for that. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

United StatesMy only complaint is that the bathroom light was very dim making the bathroom too dark for doing make-up or hair. My other comment is a warning, the gate is a bit narrow so if you bring a car driver confidence is halpful, however the staff is so helpful the will certainly spot for you, if needed.
Staff was very helpful and kind. Room was typical for the area and price range. Very clean, had everything you need.

United StatesWell, I got into a dispute with a taxi driver on the day of my departure, which was unfortunate. This was partially due to a misunderstanding between Mauricio and myself. The taxi driver and I did have a little trouble finding the place, but I think that was our fault as there were two signs at the entrance.
First, the premises are very attractive, located on the top of a bluff next to the road. My room was very nice, very expansive with pretty much a full kitchen, a double bed, a couch which I guess converts to a bed, and a private bathroom. My bedroom looked out onto the pool. The room was very clean. What was also nice is that there was a pulperia, a small little market just a few blocks away. Mauricio was always very helpful. whenever I needed any help, he got right to it.

United StatesSome light switches were unintuitive, which could be improved with clearer labeling or instructions. The shower heater lacked a visible ground wire, which may raise safety concerns.
The deluxe room was spacious and well-equipped, featuring a kitchenette with ample cookware, utensils, and complimentary coffee. The bathroom window's screen allowed for ventilation while keeping insects out, enhancing comfort. The staff's understanding and accommodation of my need to cancel one room due to a health emergency, providing a full refund, demonstrated excellent customer service. The presence of friendly resident pets added to the pleasant and peaceful atmosphere. I felt very safe and secure on the property and the surrounding neighborhood.

United StatesSome aspects of the facilities were concerning, such as the missing shower heater's grounding wire and low-positioned showerhead and mirrors, which were uncomfortable for taller guests. The cracked window glass and missing pane of the jalousie window allowed cold air to enter, posing an issue on rare cold days. Vacuuming and detailed cleaning of chipped paint and debris around the floor edge enhance the overall appearance.
The check-in experience was warm and friendly and there was good communication via WhatApp prior to checkin. The location is close to the airport and you can even take a bus to the airport with only a 100m walk to the bus stop. The room had useful amenities, including a refrigerator, rice cooker, toaster, and coffee maker, making it practical for longer stays. The garden view was a highlight, with beautiful details to explore, and the staff kindly offered extra blankets, which was appreciated given the occasional chilly nights. I appreciated the screens on the windows to keep out mosquitoes. The pool with a fountain was beautiful and had comfortable lounge chairs although the water was too cold to fully be able to enjoy it except on the warmest of days.

SloveniaFirst impression was not very good. You can smell dogs, hairs on the carpet outside, area is not so nice, pool very very small. But then you give it a chance.
Before living I like to stay in tropical forest, they have a nice garden. Privat room has a small balcony and some fridge, water heater... Room was clean. They have 5 friendly dogs. Nice common space with tables. Bakery and small store close by. Close to the airport, I was staying the night before living for an early flight.Use uber 10$, taxi is 2x that price. 20$

CanadaJust a few minor things like the slight inclination of the floor. I was still able to sleep well. I just recommend providing a slightly thicker blanket for cold nights.
Great value and location! I was kinda suspicious of this place at first because of the previous reviews but me and my friend actually enjoyed it. The staff were really nice and were really responsive on WhatsApp. We arrived kinda late at night and the gate was closed but was opened as soon as I messaged them. The pool was also nice and the greenery around was just very relaxing.

CanadaThis hotel was very close to the airport, which was exactly what we wanted. The host was incredibly kind and the room was great for the price we paid. My husband's flight was delayed, so he arrived at the hotel in the middle of the night, but the host was kind enough to stay awake so that he could open the front gate as soon as he arrived. We were very happy with our stay!
