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 reviewBig common area with multiple hammocks and space to eat, play games, work, and socialise. Staff was friendly and attentive, happy to answer questions. Because it was rainy season, I was offered an upgrade from the basement dorm to a room in the main building. I didn’t accept it at first because it was a lot smaller and seemed more crowded, but on the last day I asked, and they were still happy to assist and let me take the upgrade. The view is STUNNING. Very chill and pleasant place. If I had to choose between Cascada Verde in the jungle or one of the hostels next to the beach, I would pick this one, even if it’s a 1-hour walk from the beach. With the rain starting at 1pm, it’s nice to have this beautiful and tranquil place for the rest of the day. Also gotta add that I ment many amazing solo travellers here and we spend many evening playing games and having a laugh. All of us kept extending our stay. One more small detail, on the first night, there was a group of people that were quite loud at night, and the hostel offered me a complimentary breakfast for my troubles. I found it was a very sweet and thoughtful gesture. Bonus thats always nice: plenty of showers and bathrooms.
The ground floor (basment) doorm can be very dark and damp. You can here other rooms super well as there's no actual walls, but as long everyone respects the quite hour it's ok.

Verified reviewUnique hostel, our greatest accommodation in all of Costa Rica. Overlooking the forest down to the sea. Nice common area with games and vibe, friendly and helpful team that deserves support. Playful cat will be missed!

Verified reviewThe place itself is nice but staff is not helpful at all
Staff is very unmotivated to help and unfriendly. Its not possible to store the luggage after 2pm for no reason. They also didnt want to give me milk for the included coffee even though i wanted to pay for it. Very annoying!
Are you maybe mixing us up? You stored your luggage with us - it’s here in front of me and we offered you to sell you milk for your coffee… Please check if you are reviewing the right place and please delete it accordingly. Thanks and pura vida.

Verified reviewOur stay was fantastic. The hostel is located in the forest, just a 5 min. walk from a waterfall. There's always animals around to observe, and generally it's very peaceful and quiet. There's quiet hours from 10pm to 6am, which are well respected, and we really appreciated this, since we wanted to relax. The place was clean, well equipped (including the kitchen), and comfortable, we especially enjoyed the open second floor and all the hammocks to chill in. You can do yoga, play boardgames or read from their library, there was even an egg painting activity for easter, which was really fun. The staff were super nice and attentive, always open to any questions. We enjoyed the cats' and dogs' company. There is so much information on the things you can do around the hostel, including more waterfalls, walks, and tours. There is also information about bus schedules, nearby restaurants and shops, tide schedules, etc. If you want a relaxing, friendly experience in Uvita, this is definitely the place!
The only thing i could perhaps mention here is that the laundry service is quite expensive (6$/kg) but in return you get your clothes back dried and folded.

Sometimes a bit loud at night. Depends on people’s behaviour.

Verified reviewlocation and design absolutely nice, especially the common area.
unfortunately in the middle of the night I had to ask some girls in a room next to mine to stop to talk, there is no sound barriers between the rooms and if guests are unpolite it's a mess. I purchase extra breakfast, I believe the meal quality/quantity could be improved

Verified reviewCool place to be in the nature, but it is far from the bus station and from the beach. The kitchen was too small because everybody cooked at the same time. The room was spacious but ours was right next to the road, so we heard all the cars leaving in the morning. The common space is very nice.

Verified reviewThe people and atmosfeer of the hostel. The carefull way they did their work and made sure there was a peaceful atmosphere at all times! This beautiful bamboo house felt like my home for the last couple of Days .
Nothing. Maybe that the location was a bit far to reach, quite a hilly walk. But that was all fine and defenitely worth the view of the beautiful house!
