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.).

United StatesThe A/C was not strong enough in my first room but the owner was very nice and moved me to a similar room with a better A/C. The hotel is in a little town, don't expect to see a lot of tourist unless you go to Samara beach which is a 10min drive.
This hotel is very nice and cozy, the room was clean and the beds were also clean and comfortable. There was no breakfast included but there is a local soda that is right beside the hotel and there food is great, the pool was clean and very relaxing, the location of the hotel is very close to playa Carillo, Samara and almost 2 hours driving from Tamarindo.

United KingdomNothing! Some dishcloths in the kitchen would have been useful but that's about it.
The apartment was spotlessly clean, with great amenities, lovely decor, and a lovely pool and outside area. The staff team, Maria and Jessica, were really lovely and helpful too and lent us cool packs for the beach and boogie boards for the kids. Although it was a bit more expensive than other places we stayed, it was probably our favourite accomodation in Costa Rica and we loved Playa Carillo as well!

United KingdomNo hot water in the bathroom sink. Not enough body wash in bathroom. They provided more when we asked for it, but I don't expect to have to ask for it. Nothing seriously wrong at all.
Nice kitchenette, but only with a single hob. Otherwise, very well stocked, including things like kitchen towel, washing up liquid, sponge, and even sugar. Comfortable bed. We were offered a cool bag, but without an ice pack... still nice though. Use of clothes rack to dry clothes. Extra towels for the beach or pool. We were given a choice on which bungalow to stay in, although the name bungalow was deceptive, as it was just a studio with en-suite bathroom. Near to supermarkets, beach and restaurants. Electrical sockets and beside lamp near bed. Wardrobe and seating provided.

United KingdomI would have liked breakfast included, however there's a soda right next door, so it really didn't matter.
The hosts were really lovely and let us leave our luggage on the last day so we could spend the day at the beach. It's walking distance to the beach. They lend you back-pack beach chairs! Brilliant idea!...even if you do look like a tourist!! lol!! Teh attention to detail in the room was lovely... the kitchen appliances and utensils were really nice...even the mugs...good quality rather than the cheapest, so you felt it was a luxury stay! I was shown around everything when I arrived. It really was a wonderful stay and I highly recommend it.
