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 StatesEchoes of our own voice in the room was not nice, there is no private beach and you must pay for the sun beds and umbrella to the beach guys. Portion of breakfasts are really small and restaurant prices are expensive.

United StatesNot the best dinner that we had, it was okay, but not great. Note, we are limited by diet restrictions/preferences.
Easy to walk to the beach. Hotel is right on the main road, but was quiet. Very clean, interesting property. We walked to Manuel Antonio National Park, 2 KM. Very comfortable beds. Acoustics in room were cool.

United StatesCan’t think of anything! We had a great time.
Very comfy. Excellent food. Nice small pool but it was hot so not super refreshing (not the fault of the hotel, it’s just in direct sun so heats up). Really cute place for a short visit to the park! And park is within walking distance which made it so easy. Beach was also very nice which was just down the street.

United StatesThe portion of the Breakfast is small, not enough, there is couple options, you can pick one, and it's delicious but for the adults it's way too small. And the restaurant is too expensive.
Excellent location, just a step away from the beach, and 10 min walk from the National Park, surrounded by jungle and wildlife. Very clean, friendly stuff, delicious food in the restaurant.

United KingdomWas a little bit close to the road so might be a little bit noisy at times. Also the rooms had very little space to store anything so we did have to navigate around our suitcases a bit.
Location was excellent - couldn't get much closer to the beach, and yet where we were staying felt so private. Staff were helpful and we really appreciated the arrival drinks. It is a really quirky place and the igloos are fun. The pool was a haven.

United StatesOur lodge didn’t have hot water. We didn’t notice initially, but our stay was short. I highly recommend checking hot water when you get there so staff can fix if needed. Avoid lodge 24. It was all the way at the end by the flood lights that light up walking path so the light was really bright and had difficulty getting decent sleep at night. We didn’t mind much for a 3 night stay.
Excellent location. Walking distance to the beach. The includes breakfast was delicious! Served with fresh juice and coffee each morning. The pool is warm and nice. The property is REALLy well maintained
