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 front desk was fabulous - Helder worked hard at making our stay enjoyable.
We booked a two bedroom villa, but got a large bedroom with a couch and a twin bed in the kitchen. Looks like they swapped out the bed and the couch to make a "two bedroom." Not great.
We really enjoyed having you and your crew stay with us, Leslie! Thank you for the review! Thanks also for the feedback on Villa Surf. We will change this to be called a one-bedroom on this booking channel. As it mostly is used as a one-bedroom unless guests have 3 people. The bed in the living space is used as a couch mostly or if needed as a bed. Very good point on the labeling. Thanks and we hope to host you all again soon and really enjoyed getting to know you as well!

Verified reviewNice large outdoor kitchen, sound of birds, the villas are separated by beautiful gardens, pool was great, quiet property, I don't think the restaurant/ bar were open but a very cool set up when it does. When you book you get an email full of great recommendations and a hard copy when you arrive. I actually think a Sedan would make it up the road, not as treacherous as many of the Costa Rican roads I've been on. What I like most of all was that Casey the owner and Helder the manager really helped us out above and beyond and because of that we enjoyed the end of our vacation way more than we could have ever expected.
This isn't a dislike just a recommendation for visitors: The AC unit is in master bedroom so just keep bathroom window open to outside and the door closed. This way the cool air can travel from master to the second bedroom and you should be cool enough.
Thank you so much for the review, Elana! We loved meeting you and your family. Great recommendation for the AC in Villa Luna. We will pass this along to other guests that stay in Villa Luna. We hope to see you again soon, Pura Vida!

Verified reviewThe property has been renovated over the last few years and it looks wonderful! The owner has made upgrades such as a yoga deck, outdoor workspaces, a games area and a lounge . The pool is located in a beautiful setting with evening lighting, gazebo and lounge chairs on the deck. The pool is well kept and clean. The villas are very nice and clean, with outdoor patios and kitchens. All the staff are excellent, in particular Casey (owner), Helder (manager), Kenneth and Carlos are extremely friendly and always offering to help you in any way they can. Helder is always available to answer questions, help with information on local attractions and address any concerns. The property has a beautiful setting and we always felt safe and comfortable.
Everything was excellent.
Peter, we thoroughly enjoyed having you and your crew stay with us! We're so glad we met you and got to exchange so many stories and wonderful times together. We look forward to your return and will be excited to host you again one day soon!

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review Michael! We appreciate your attention to the details as we've worked really hard over the past few years to renovate the property for our guests to enjoy. Scarlet is definitely our little secret to success. Everyone loves her and she loves having guests like you to hang out with!

Verified reviewit is so beautiful and peaceful. Tucked away in the jungle with Toucans, howler monkeys and all kinds of exotic birds to see.
the road up to it is treacherous when you first go there. I finally got used to it but it needs grading badly.
Beverly! It was such a pleasure hosting you, Leslie and Dorothy! We had so much fun getting to know you ladies. We look forward to you coming back to visit us. Scarlet will be patiently waiting for you by Villa Texas :)
