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 reviewFrom the moment we arrived, we felt completely at ease. The service was warm and attentive, the location just steps from the beach was unbeatable, and the food – simply delicious every single day! Surfing with the kids was such a fun experience – safe, exciting, and unforgettable. And for the little animal lovers: the resort is full of wildlife! We saw monkeys, raccoons, adorable squirrels, and even iguanas. If you’re looking for relaxation, comfort, adventure, and a welcoming atmosphere for the whole family, this is the place to be. We wholeheartedly recommend it and are already looking forward to our next stay. A true hidden gem for anyone in need of a seaside escape with a special touch of nature

Verified reviewThe room was very spacious with a lovely bathroom and comfortable bed. The pool and beach facilities were excellent, and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast was very good as were the cocktails.
For the price of the lunch/dinner items, the food was only just satisfactory. We chose to eat up town after our first day.

Verified reviewIt was immaculate and absolutely gorgeous landscaping and facilities. It really felt like paradise and the staff were so friendly and attentive. We didn’t wander very far because we were so happy to enjoy their grounds. The Costa Rican wood crafted throughout the rooms and to make the furniture was beautiful. The conscious effort to provide a haven for all the creatures of the area added delight to our stay. Monkeys, birds, iguana, property dogs and cats were added entertainment. Very relaxing and peaceful.
We liked everything but would suggest some different menu selections day to day. A few specials each day, for instance. The food overall was very good.

Verified reviewGreat location and exterior spaces, with beautiful swimming pool and landscape, just steps from the beach. F&B quality was very good overall.
Hotel looks tired and with lack of investment. Rooms are comfortable but a bit old. Reception area is dark and lacks atmosphere. Breakfast offer is great, although the way is set-up/presented is not that nice. I had the feeling that floor around the bar area was never cleaned, as there was always food on the floor and full of ants. Same with the tables around the pool area, not properly cleaned and you could say traces of food and glasses, not properly cleaned, which attracted insects.

Verified reviewThe location, atmosphere and staff were perfect. The general relaxed friendly vibe was consistent from the moment we entered the hotel to the minute we left. You feel like the employees are well trained, well treated and well selected. They have genui9ne pride and love for their jobs.
More variety at breakfast would be appreciated for longer stays. Also there was nowhere to sit and enjoy a drink or a coffee with friends after 10pm.
