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 reviewI loved the location and how helpful the staff was - they assisted with booking surfing lessons and were very kind. We ended up staying another night because it was so cleanly and we wanted another night in Manuel Antonio.
maybe breakfast buffet instead of sit down because we never had time to sit down but the food looked wonderful!

Verified reviewThe hotel is well-located, just a short walk from restaurants and a short drive to the beach. The bungalow we stayed in was spacious, clean, and surrounded by beautiful greenery. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The pool area is relaxing and a great place to cool off after a hot day. We also enjoyed seeing monkeys and iguanas right on the property.
Noise was a problem at our first room, mainly traffic noise from the main road, which is loud and penetrates the walls with ease. We switched room the first day, and got one of the bungalows. There, the road noise was less, but music from the hotel’s own restaurant and bar area could be heard clearly. This made it hard to relax or fall asleep. For a place that promotes a jungle setting, it didn’t feel as peaceful as expected.

Verified reviewThe property itself was lovely, breakfast was a real highlight for us. Highly recommend the omelette. The breakfast staff are wonderful and so polite. It’s amazing to listen to the forest at night, you really are immersed in it by staying here. The location is wonderful very close to MA National Park. The park is a must, guided tour will not disappoint. This was an experience and a stay we won’t forget. I’d recommend.
The front desk staff did not inform us that MA National Park is closed on a Tuesday. This was very disappointing as it really impacted our plans. We were travelling to La Fortuna so our visit to the park was cut short as we couldn’t go on our planned day. The wifi was patchy but this was somewhat to be expected. They did reset the router for us which we appreciated but would recommend having an e-sim. Our first room had leaking AC onto electrical plugs. They quickly resolved this by changing our room the next day.

Verified reviewThis has to be the most beautiful property in Manuel Antonio. Set deep in the jungle but close to all attractions in the area. Beautiful villas with modern design located so that you feel you have the resort to yourself. Quiet except for birds, howler monkeys and a stream that runs through the property. Great pool area where they serve breakfast which is very nice. No buffet, you order off menu which is nice. Food is great, shout out to Jackson the chef and the staff at ECOTICA for making our three days memorable. We hated to leave. If you have plans for the Manuel Antonio area and need accommodations this is the place.
Nothing

Verified reviewFree breakfast was delicious with terrific servers! Saw lots of monkeys on property, rooms very clean. Nice pool area.
Outside lighting going to parking lot unsafe and dark at night at stairways, rooms were very loud, WIFI was the worst we have had in three trips to CR. Pretty disappointed with this stay. If you want to work out, the “gym” is very bare bones and yoga is not offered on big deck as pictured. Truth in advertising is a bit stretched here. La Fortuna Hotel De Silencio was amazing so they had a lot to live up to. Can not recommend this hotel for price paid.

Verified reviewThis is a simply stunning hotel nestled into the gorgeous cliffs of Manuel Antonio! The rooms were beautiful and with very comfortable beds- perfect to come back to after a long day of adventuring. There is also a beautiful pool area along with a restaurant and bar for guest to enjoy! The staff were pleasant and friendly- specifically Moses! Overall wonderful stay.

Verified reviewThe hotel's location is unbeatable. Clean, spacious rooms, 2 large beds, the cutest hotel staff in the world, I must mention Moshe from the pool and Yehoshua from the reception, simply princes. The hotel has an excellent bar and restaurant, with live performances. In short, excellent.

Verified reviewIt was beautiful, the site, small trail, pool, animals( monkey, Mackay, ) were everywhere. That was amazing. The staff, Joshua at the reception, Kerly at the pool restaurant were very kind and sympathique. And it was in the centre of Manuel Antonio, all restaurant are walking distance.
Nothing, juste be aware of stair in the hotel ( the outside area ).
