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.).

United KingdomNothing we didn't like!
Fabulous room for 4 people (2 beds), just how it looked in the photos. Very lovely owner/manager who was extremely helpful and friendly and recommended places for us to go and eat. Filtered water available. Great location right in the middle of town and a minute’s walk from the beach and the best bakery/breakfast option, De Gustibus. Great a/c and wifi. Lovely and clean. Great place to spend a few days in Puerto Viejo and surrounding area.

AustraliaWe enjoyed our time at Cabinas Montesol. It is perfectly located close to the beach and close to many restaurants and bars. The room was quite spacious and the staff were friendly. They even let us check in a bit earlier, which was really lovely. This is a really affordable, good option for Puerto Viejo.

Cozy room with a little outside sitting area. The shared kitchen was really helpful to prepare some snacks. Location is great in the center of town but a little secluded. Really helpful staff with a lot of recommendations for the area.

United StatesNo negative experiences were had; I liked everything about this place.
I had the pleasure of staying at Cabinas Monte Sol in November 15 - 18, 2024, and it was such a delightful experience. Iris, the host, was incredibly warm and welcoming, and her son Liam brought a touch of joy to the atmosphere. Their hospitality made me feel right at home. The facilities were well-maintained, and my room was spotless, offering great comfort after long days of exploring. The location is absolutely perfect for discovering Puerto Viejo—everything is within walking distance, from charming cafes to beautiful beaches. The cleanliness of the entire property stood out, and I was impressed with how peaceful and relaxing the environment was despite being so close to all the action. The value for the money here is exceptional, making it an excellent choice for solo travelers like me or anyone seeking a cozy, convenient place to stay. Highly recommend Cabinas Monte Sol for your Puerto Viejo adventure!

Costa RicaWhen there was a power outage we were not informed at all of what was going on and the wifi didn’t work even the next morning. Power outages can happen but a little communication would’ve been nice.
The shared bathroom was really nice, the room was good as well and even had an outside space where we could dry clothes, for example.
