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.).

CanadaCould have had a kettle and cups in the room to make coffee/tea.
The host went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and give us a true Costa Rican experience. Enjoyed the breakfast. Thank you Flory and your family. The location was great with lots of eatery and supermarket nearby. The Puntaranus Cathedral was right across the road and we enjoyed hearing mass and sound of church bell ringing.

United StatesAs so many other cabinas and local accommodations, the building was mildly dilapidated, chipped floor tiles, peeling plaster stucco. Surprisingly expensive for such a humble place.
Excellent breakfast. Nice staff. Adequate room, very comfortable bed. Not too far off the beaten path. Close to the city center. Free WiFi. Air conditioning.

United KingdomParking was difficult in small area and breakfast was taken at a table one metre from the car. Not much English spoken but communication was adequate.
Clean and tidy but no running water due to problems with town supply. Offered free cancellation but as a single night stop accepted the problem and given a discount. Short walk to south shore beach and restaurants.

NetherlandsA bit over runned, facilities could use some improvement... but ok for what you pay, considering the average area prices
The staff was friendly and the overall ambience was cozy, is a family business and felt like being in a 'mama's' house.. the breakfast was good! Location also, central and close to the beach boulevard.

Very nice owner and delicious breakfast in the green patio. It's definitely a place for people who do not look for luxury but rather true experience with locals

GermanyAt first it smelled musty, but when the air conditioning was running it quickly got better; bathroom not really separated- shower cabin inside the room. Basically the facility could use a renovation. But everywhere in Costa Rica seems to be a bit run down. In general, the overnight prices in Costa Rica seem to me to be too high. Price and performance are never right.
Friendly welcome with a smile, quiet, good mattress, warm shower air conditioning, fridge, breakfast is very good, clean

AustriaThe room is extremely humid and smelly and would require the constant use of AC. AC is very old and loud Bathroom is very rundown and build in the room with open roof, forget about your privacy on the toilet, shower door was broken. The garden is nothing to enjoy with the noise of the ACs all around, a pity because it looks nice. Overall overpriced.
Flori is super friendly and helpful, location close to the bus is a plus, breakfast was simple but more than enough and complete. Bed is comfortable, everything rundown but clean.

SwitzerlandTerrible terrible experience! Room was characterised by the lack of light, very stuffy air, zero sound proofing, lack of hot water, loose pipes in the shower, dirty floors, ancient and loud AC…. The room looks like it had been a barn which was somehow converted into an accommodation facility (cannot classify it as a hotel by any standards)
