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 reviewWe had a great stay, the bungalows have everything you need! It‘s very cozy and the surroundings are amazing! We saw birds and heard monkeys in the night. The pool is very nice too and the owner was very helpful with all our questions and even organized some bikes for us. The way to Puerto Viejo is doable by bike and also the other beaches closeby are amazing to see.
If you‘re afraid of spiders don‘t look up at the property. There are huge hanging spiders but I guess that‘s part of the experience :P
Muchas gracias

Verified reviewBeautiful bungalows. Ours was really clean and spacious. There is a kitchenette which has most things to prepare basic meals (except you need to have all your own cooking ingredients). The grounds and pool were really well maintained. We liked that it was out of town - we saw an agouti and toucans in the garden- but you could walk to the beach & restaurants & supermarket in about 20 minutes. Iris the lovely administrator was always quick to reply to any messages. The only slight downside for us was that there were bats (we think) in the roof & this made it very noisy in the bungalow at night!

Verified reviewVery secluded, rustic look and suited our needs.
Shower tap is very tight to turn and hard to adjust temperature. Bed frame squeaks when moving on it, footboard sticks out too much, kept stubbing toes on it coming out from bathroom. Bed felt too firm, woke up with sore back. Pool could be warmer.
Muchas gracias

Verified reviewAll except for host.
This Argetinan host girl who was single-minded. We were scolded for getting 10 min before check in. Before check out, cleaning lady came in to pick up towels. Host told us things we were not supposed to do at the time of check out but we were not warned before.
Thank you!

Verified reviewThe accommodations are stunning. Sometimes when people focus their reviews on the word “clean” that can be code that cleanliness is the only positive. Well this place was clean - clean, absolutely beautiful, the pics do not so or justice and the area surrounding the bungalows are safe and equally beautiful.
Breakfast is not included. At night the place is deafeningly quiet. So if you have a conversation on the phone or if anyone has a conversation in another bungalow you can hear it. I mean you can hear people turning over in their beds in neighboring bungalows, it’s that quiet. I strongly suggest bringing a sound machine if you want any degree of privacy at night.
Thank you very much🌹

Verified reviewLoved my time here. Very peaceful. Toucans, monkeys, butterflies, dragonflies and owls all to be seen or heard on a daily basis (amongst others) Impeccable house keeping, great shower and a very clean swimming pool The jacuzzi at night was a special treat!.. Felt very safe as a single female traveller. Would be romantic for couples and fun for families. Close to beautiful beaches and Puerto Viejo for lovely shops and good nightlife. Owners were very helpful and kind.. Really good value for money!
Having to leave!
