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 hosts Stefan & Sonya were very friendly and accommodating. Room was beautiful and comfortable with a nice community pool. Stefan drove me to the grocery store right away and I was able to cook my own meals. He also arranged a small motorcycle for me from one of his staff members and I was able to come and go freely. Loved the howler monkeys and watching the Sunset from a Tower on the Property. A relaxing, comfortable stay. Just wanted I needed.
Perhaps it was my misconception as I thought there was more of a gym. I ended up going to Pilates classes and yoga classes in Tamarindo which were ideal.

Verified reviewWe really enjoyed our time at antema lodge. The hosts were very welcoming, the pool is super nice and refreshing and you feel like being in the jungle, seeing monkeys and iguanas. Apart from that you have a nice yoga area and a little jungle gym with some weights. The rooms were very clean and also modern. There is free coffee as well.

Verified reviewThe property is well kept and surrounded by nature. There is a beautiful salt water pool just outside the room, a bridge over a serene river , a yoga platform and a tower where you can have your coffee to and overlook nature. Stefan and Sonia were terrific hosts.
Nothing to complain about.

Verified reviewThis lodge appears to be the result of a passion project of the owners, Stefano and Sonia- both of whom are always around and happy to help you with whatever you need- whether its tips on activities, local spots etc. They truly do their best and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. The room was cozy and had everything needed for a short stay- we purchased the breakfast one of the days (cost $10 USD) and it was quiet nice- price on par, if not slightly cheaper, with breakfast options elsewhere in the area.
Lighting in the rooms could be made a bit cozier perhaps, would love to see facilities expanded in the future! The location is a bit far removed from nearby Tamarindo so a car is definitely required.

Verified reviewWe had a great time at Antema lodge. The hosts are lovely people and they made us feel very welcome. The other guests at the lodge were also super nice! It’s such a calm and relaxing place. I would definitely come back :)
the only downside: There was a door between our room and the room next to us, so we could hear the guests talking, coughing., etc.

Verified reviewVery nice and quiet little place - beautiful rooms and pool. Lovely owners, who were there the whole time taking care of the place and of us. We came without a car, and they gave us lifts to the beach, the supermarket and even to the new hotel, when we after some very relaxing days moved on. Amazing.
Everything was good - I do think though, that the place is best if you have a car. And be prepared that it is very quiet, no bar or restaurant as there are only 4 rooms, and two houses for families. But you have a fridge and there is an outdoor kitchen, so you can cook yourself, which was great
