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.).

CanadaWe had a wonderful stay at Agua Inn! The location is stunning, tucked away in the jungle. The ambient sound of the flowing river next to the property added to the charm and relaxation. The included breakfast prepared by the lovely Adela was phenomenal and all the staff were so friendly and accommodating. Do not hesitate to book your stay here to experience true Costa Rican hospitality!

United Statesthis was one of the most incredible stays we've had in all of our travels. pictures don't do this place justice, you have to stay there to fully experience the serenity of falling asleep to the river each night and waking up to breakfast with the birds. Javier, Israel, and Adela are some of the kindest souls you could ever meet. Pepa (the bird) and Feo and Kila (the dogs) are the cherry on top of it all. there aren't many places we go that we immediately talk about coming back to, but this is definitely one of them. we felt close enough to the things we wanted to do (a hour to mistico, rio celeste, la fortuna) without being in an area that felt super touristy. the town of nuevo arenal itself has wonderful food options.

United StatesWe found that there are two La Fortunas in Costa Rica. That placed us an hour away from our arranged tour, meaning we had to leave very early to get to the other La Fortuna.
Agua Inn is such a lovely place. The decor was beautiful. Breakfast was excellent. Staff was very helpful.

Thank you Trent and Javier for the beautiful vibe, your kindness, that delicious breakfast and the amazing coffee, also thank Adela for her hospitality and kindness We are definitely coming back, hopefully this time a little bit longer ❤️ See you soon!
