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 clean, comfortable bed, very good shower. In the nice garden, close to the beach. Fernando at the reception very helpful, polite and friendly, speaking good English. We felt like at home at this cosy vila.
We are not very big fans about sharing kitchen with other people, but probably it’s our fault not to read properly about this. By the way kitchen very clean as well and has everything you need for your stay.

Verified reviewThe rooms were clean and much better than the pictures show; ammenities were good. Fernando and team were extremely friendly and helpful, always there when we needed something. The property felt safe and secure and also close to the beach also in walking distance of the market and shop too.
Wifi signal was poor in some areas but not a big issue for us.

Verified reviewThe environment is elegant, clean, with a small kitchen, thoughtful service, and comfortable bedding. Especially they provide wlcome coconut 🥥 everyday. Lovely place.
The water is not hot enough when taking a shower, and the drainage hole is not fast and smooth enough, so it is often necessary to trouble the staff to clean it. It would be better if there is space to dry clothes. But I still like it here very much. I decided to stay here for an extra 5 days. It is the quietest and most comfortable choice at the same price.

Verified reviewWe are 2 friends who booked to stay here for 2 nights, and ended up staying for 8. The staff went above and beyond to make sure that our stay was as comfortable as possible, including cutting fresh coconuts for us to drink and escorting us at 3am to board our bus 20 minutes walk away. The room itself was spotless and comfortable, with a great shower, kitchen and bed. The setting is serene and beautiful - nestled between the local nursery and nearby villages. It is an easy walk to the beach and whilst CosyBe doesn't have a cafe or restaurant, it's a 3 minute walk to the nearest place which serves great coffee and with decent wifi. Great for a quiet retreat and some peace and privacy. We'd love to come back.
Not super central - CosyBe is approx. 20 minute walk from central Tofo. Not a major issue if you enjoy a quiet walk to/from the town. Wifi also wasn't great at CosyBe, however we were notified that they were working on improving this for future visitors.

Verified reviewThe Staff were super friendly and always ready to help. I even played a few rounds of chess with Fernando. The Villa was really good and clean, we can't complain about anything. We got free fresh coconuts whenever we asked for some, which was a really nice bonus. Would stay here again and can just recommend it.
Maybe the only small downside was the distance to the restaurants (~20 minutes walk), but we arrived by car so it didn't bother us at all.

Verified reviewahhh we miss CosyBe so much!! from the time we booked so easy to communicate with everyone and staff was ALWAYS available -- arrival was easily arranged, but honestly Pedro and Fernando are what made this place so incredible, cannot believe this is their first time working in the field because they are STARS!!!! from giving us fresh coconuts all the time, to making little details when cleaning our room...to buying cards to play with us.... to just always greeting us with warmth and huge smiles and asking how we are!! as for the room, it was truly, SO cozy, beds SO comfy, rooms perfect with blackout curtains to keep it dark to sleep in, and so quiet around.... my friend LOVED sunning outside on the deck area, and the hammocks were also so lovely to laze in. kitchen was great though we didnt use it much note: we spent a while deciding between this and Kumba and we originally went with this bc of AC and slightly better price but we are so glad we did. Kumba is beautiful but Cosybe feels like being home with friends/family.
no complaints! wifi couldve been stronger but it didnt bother us much at all- too much good stuff here - also note it's 20+min walk to town but very safe and though sometimes we were lazy it still felt very accessible

Verified reviewBoth Fernando and Pedro at reception were wonderful hosts! They really make you feel like home and went the extra mile to make you have the best experience possible! The owner was also always in touch and very helpful explaining how to get there and in general was very happy to help and assist in any way possible… By far the best accommodation in Tofo will definitely come back :)
Nothing to complain about the staff was really amazing and sincere! 11 out of 10
Thank you very much for trusting us. Cosybe is your home; come back anytime
