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.).

South AfricaPlumbing in and around Manuel Antonio is an issue so a bit unsophisticated.
Arboleda is a delightful "old lady of an hotel ... slightly dated, very well priced and the location is fantastic! Beautiful beach front on the quiet side of the beach with loungers and walking distance to the Manuel Antonio National Park. We enjoyed the hospitality of the family run establishment and the charm of yesteryear ! They also make a great Pina Colada!!

NorwayThis hotel is best suited for visits by car. It is located on the bottom of a very steep hill which makes both walking up to find public transportation or taxis hard work.

United StatesI booked 4 rooms. One didn't have a fridge, two didn't have TVs. The internet only worked about 5% of the time, the network would just disappear. I got shocked by the shower head while taking a shower. There was often no water and it went out right when we were trying to shower before checkout. The toilet tank in one room didn't fill up and I had to fill it up with a cup from the sink in order to flush. The rooms are not right on the beach. It was a very narrow and steep drive up to the main road and not easily walkable. The restaurant closest to the beach and the rooms closes at 3pm. The pool area doesn't have enough chairs and the ground around the pool is extremely uncomfortable to walk on without shoes. General lack in upkeep of the outdoor stairs, no rails.
We pretty much had the whole place to ourselves. The rooms were all right in a row together and had A/C. We saw lots of wildlife.

United StatesThe driveway is steep & hectic but do-able. The facility struggles a bit with age but is well maintained.
This beachfront hotel is located on a farm that the owners family purchased in the 1950's. It still has thick forest along one side as well as a lovely garden full of birds, iguanas & white faced monkeys. A few howlers will greet the day. Scarlet macaws visit an enormous tree that is the tallest on the playa. It is located far enough away from the beach commotion near manuel antonio to be a pleasant & beautiful place to swim, chill & watch the outrageous sunset. It is very sweetly quaint & local with lace curtains & a balcony to sit & catch the breeze. Very clean & comfortable. The family runs it & they are gracious & kind.

United StatesThe outdoor kitchen microwave started beeping and turned on, on its own at 3 in the morning. Freaked us out. Ghost? And we saw a snake on the patio. It looked like a fer de lance but the manager said it was a 'false' one. Hope so!
Great place. Close to an amazing beach. Nice rooms. Super cool bathroom.
