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 reviewSpacious,clean,lots of birds, kitchen well equipped, good shower and nice pool. Esteban was very informative and accommodating.
Lack of security in that there was no door lock on our front door other than one bedroom. We were asked to put a chain across the bottom of our stairs with a privacy sign on it to stop people walking into our apartment . In the middle of a noisy residential area with lots of barking dogs and traffic noise. Right outside our bedroom window was something called the birds nest seating area which attracted other guests to chat loudly outside our window making in difficult to sleep. I thought that it was naughty putting a surcharge of 3% on my credit card unless I paid by cash. This was the only place in eight places that we visited that did that. The price should be the price that you pay on Booking.com. Photos of the pool area are very flattering compared to reality. Huge amount of stairs to carry heavy cases up for someone that might struggle, including a tight spiral staircase.

Verified reviewWe were happy with our stay at Villa Jaquelina. The best part are the common areas: the terrace, the "fitness center terrace", the netting to lie on to enjoy the sunsset and the pool. The staff is friendly and the common kitchen is practical. Attention: As they propose breakfast they appreciate not to use the kitchen during this time. Activities start quite early, so we were usually finished before they started with the preparations and a small overlap timewise wasn't a problem.

Verified reviewNot suitable for families in my opinion. Most of the hotel is shared spaces and the apartment’s separation from the shared spaces is not clear and there is no door with a lock to keep the living room separated. The equipment in the kitchen was old, broken and pilling.
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your input regarding the layout and facilities. We will work to make the separation of spaces clearer and address the kitchen equipment concerns promptly. Your comments are invaluable to us, and we hope to better meet your expectations in the future.

Verified reviewRooftop glamping. There’s no AC so each bed area needs a fan. They did provide one extra but the loft fan still didn’t work. The shower was gloriously cold (hot water was an option). In one of the downpours the rain soaked the single hanging bed. Thankfully we had a free bed still. It was a cool stay, but damn that’s a lot of stairs. Watching the lightning storm from there was very cool.
Thank you for your 4-star review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed our rooftop glamping experience and the refreshing cold shower. We appreciate your feedback on the fan and loft fan; we'll ensure both are in top condition for future guests. Your mention of the lightning storm experience is truly special, thank you for sharing that moment with us. The stairs can be a bit of a workout, but we hope the unique view from the top made it worthwhile. We hope you'll join us again for another memorable stay at Villas Jacquelina!

Verified reviewFriendly staff and quirky layout with some interesting places
The fan in the room felt, sounded, and looked like it would shake itself free of the ceiling and fall atop you in bed if you turned it up.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed our friendly staff and unique layout. Your feedback about the fan is valuable, and we'll address it promptly to ensure a more comfortable stay for all our guests. We appreciate your review and hope to welcome you back soon at Villas Jacquelina!

Verified reviewThe staff were personable, friendly and knowledgeable. The facilities were immaculate. No concerns with cleanliness. The pool was convenient and refreshing. Parking was free and it is reasonably close to local attractions.
The property is showing its age and as an older adult I was terrified climbing the stairs and ramps. The ramps were steep and one set of concrete steps incline was so severe I nearly fell twice. The rooms didn’t have any televisions. This was not a problem for me but my two colleagues were quite upset.

Verified reviewThis was so much more than a room! The friendly and knowledgeable staff offered guidance, much appreciated as a solo traveler. The design of the hotel is very beautiful, multi levels with lovely gardens and spaces for reflection, yoga, conversation. It is located at a comfortable walking distance from town so it is quiet , with birdsong instead of traffic noise.
There were many stairs, BUT there was always someone there to help me with my too heavy suitcase, and the design on a steep hillside allowed for privacy and tasteful interesting spaces.

Verified reviewThis place is 10 min walk feom Quepos town situated on a hill top with incredible views. The bus station in town takes you straight to Manuel Antonio & Espandilla Beach for less than $1. The busses run every 10-15 mins, and it takes about 20 minutes. The hosts are very friendly and provide you with so much information. They have daily activities such as group workouts and pasta making (this was great). Plenty of kitchen facilities if you plan on cooking, we cooked 2 dinners and 2 breakfasts. Great vibes all round and met some great people. Beds were also super comfty.
