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.).

We had a close up view of the ocean right outside our door and could hear it's song all night long. It was quite hot during our stay so the AC was soooo appreciated. We were greeted by a lovely cat in the morning. Everything in town is a very short walk away.

United StatesSee above but overall an amazing place and great value! A great find.
For those who want to be right on the beach at an affordable price, and who like the lively autonomous ease of being able to walk to town, supermarkets, and getting to know the local cafés, this place is a dream. We stayed 2 weeks. The owner Nury was very responsive, the manager Victor the same (helpful to speak Spanish) and my kids felt it was the best vacation we had ever had. (older teens). You are walking distance from bus stop and taxi stand— local prices exist, as there is a dual economy. Bring colones or dollars. Note that there is a bar next-door, but it has a kind of friendly family vibe. There is a village feeling to Montezuma— note that though we do not drink, there are cheerful safe older men drinking at all hours nearby, but there is a 24-hour property guard, shared area with hammocks, bbq, sink, outdoor shower, It is true that there can be music late at night, so I recommend bringing a sound machine and earplugs. But it is really a wonderful place, and I recommend being in touch with the owner and facilities manager if you have any issue. We would come back here in a heartbeat; we stayed in room 6 (quiet, protected, shared kitchen) and the apartment (louder but self-enclosed), each with own bathroom. We really felt the owner went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. Your room can be cleaned daily if you wish. Have a great time here!

United StatesAC mostly inadequate, confined to one room, southern facing windows ensured high interior temps during the day, Old electrical outlets, oddly placed, made using them difficult when they worked, pay attention to the fridge as regular use tended to move the box until it's plug fell out - ruining our purchased food and stored meds.
Good location, but subject to late night and early morning delivery and maintenance noise - bring your white noise machine. Apt was clean.

CanadaLittle bit loud from neighbouring restaurants playing music but it only went until about 10pm.
Perfect location right on the beach. I think I had the apartment room which was located along the alley. Had a big safe inside the room to lock away valuables. Woke up for sunrise each day and it was a few steps to the beach to watch it. Hot shower and full kitchen to cook if needed.
