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 reviewVery unique and beautiful location, amazing staff, loved the medicinal plant and wildlife tour, and chocolate class. This was a wonderful and memorable part of our trip. Much more than just a place to stay, this gorgeous property has been very thoughtfully designed to bring awareness about natural medicine, sustainable and conscious living. Great for families, my kids loved it as well!
It would be great if they could extend meals to include more lunch and dinner offerings, beyond the lovely breakfast. Especially if it could include local herbs or medicinal plants from the garden. I would have also loved to have the opportunity to purchase some of the tinctures, teas or cacao to bring with us.

Verified reviewOur hosts Fernando and Isaac were great. Enjoyed our time roaming the gardens with its vast vegetation. It truly is a wildlife refuge, plantings of all kinds, pineapple, mangoes, bananas, etc. Fernando entertained us on a private tour of his "jungle". My wife is a gardener so they both enjoyed the setting. The breakfast was a taste of his surroundings, banana pancakes with freshly made chocolate sauce.. I could go on, but I'll just encourage you to visit.
Leaving!

Verified reviewAbsolutely beautiful. Our favourite stay so far. The site is phenomenal - we explored the grounds and loved the nature. The staff were amazing they went above and beyond. Cabin was beautiful and totally allowed disconnection from the world. Lovely breakfast - all fresh from the garden. We loved it.
Nothing - a perfect stay!

Verified reviewThis stay is worth it, just for the orchestra of bird, frog, and monkey sound you get to fall asleep and wake up to. The breakfasts by Diego are fantastic, featuring some elements from the surrounding gardens. The location is a bit far from cahuita for anyone who is not renting a car or bike, but worth it for the remote, natural feel. Fernando, our night tour guide and host was very welcoming and knowledgeable.

Verified reviewBeautiful surroundings, very quiet except for the wildlife. Fernando was very nice and took time to show us around and point out the local animals. Breakfasts were great, all homemade and delicious. Fantastic chocolate every morning! Lots of wildlife literally on the doorstep.
Double bed was a single mattress with an extra bit of foam on the side.

Verified reviewOur host, he was great and friendly and showed us around the garden and helped us spot a couple snakes, sloth and other creatures. The garden was stunning. He also cooked us up a yummy breakfast. For me the area was great with a car, it's an hour walk from the town along the beach. A bit out the way without a car.
We did have bugs in our room at night, which with 2 kids was a problem, they kept waking up and panicking about the bugs. Other than that, nothing!

Verified reviewBreakfast was always delicious and the chocolate is the best I’ve ever had ☺️ The property is beautiful and maintained with love and devotion to the jungle, the wildlife there and nature. Fernando is very knowledgeable and always open to sharing information about the fauna and flora and wildlife. We loved our stay there.
The only improvement I can recommend would be fans in the rooms !
