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 StatesThe italian restaurant was great but only wished they changed the menu for that particular restaurant since the menu is the same for the others.
The beach was excellent. There is only one pool but it was large enough for all and loved the swim up bar. The room was very roomy for my party of 4.

Costa RicaBeware of unauthorized extra charges!! I was charged about 3x for a non-alcoholic drink that was a simple fruit juice. I was charged a donation fee without my authorization. When I inquired, they mentioned it was probably taxes, or other fees, etc, and eventually accepted it was a donation they charge to everyone who has charges in the room. Please double check all of your bills! After waiting a long time at the front desk, I still wasn't able to get a refund on the wrong charges, because of several delays or excuses, so I just decided to pay to be able to leave. After they charged my credit card, they casually mentioned "we could've changed it...". My stay was nice overall, but this situation left a bad impression that could have been avoided.
WiFi was good, the staff was very friendly and nice: shoutout to breakfast staff and beach guards! :D

United StatesThe drinks served sometimes at the pool bar were just okay, although one bartender knew what she was doing. The breakfast buffet was just average, but was fine for our needs. The one disappointing part was the theft of a pair of sneakers from our room. Assume is had to be housekeeping since I don't believe anyone else would have had access(?). The sad part is that they weren't a necessarily a good pair and somewhat old. We suppose that they must have needed them more than us, but still disappointing
It was a great location to walk from to explore Playa Flamingo and enjoy the beach. The staff was mostly friendly and happy to help

United StatesAlways cleaning the pool for hours in the morning. Could have had a few more restaurants and variety of food for the all inclusive guests. Little to no nightly entertainment. Tried to watch football at the bar but though the game was on in our room, the bar said they could not put it on even though a whole crowd showed up to watch it on 1 of 6 tv’s.
Great staff, Great drinks, Great Location. Enjoyed some of the local restaurants that were within walking distance of the hotel.

The property location was great, right on the beach. Staff were great especially Juan and Sebastian at the pool bar and Jaime at the Italian restaurant. He had a great memory and on our second visit remembered what wine I had the night before and brought it starlight to our table.

United StatesThe bathrooms need to be updated. It looked like the vanity and mirror had been updated, but our room had a huge jacuzzi tub with a shower above that I'm not sure worked (we didn't try it). The tub was very old and jets were rusty. The separate shower looked updated, but the water pressure wasn't very good. It got the job done though. We would have appreciated better drinks and snacks service at the pool and beach.
The location was excellent. It is right on the beach and had the perfect sunsets every night. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were spacious. It was very quiet at night.

Ok but for a somewhat large all inclusive the options were very limited. In fact one night during a weekend the main bar was not even open due to a wedding. They extended the pool bar hours but not much longer. Food was highly average.
