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 reviewIf you're looking for a cozy and welcoming place to stay, La Perlita Hostal is an absolute gem! From the moment I arrived, the host's kindness and hospitality made me feel right at home. They go above and beyond to ensure every guest has a comfortable and enjoyable experience. One of the standout highlights was the amazing breakfast—fresh, delicious, and the perfect way to start the day! Every bite was a delight, and it truly showcased the care and attention to detail that makes this place special.
There was a bit of noise on the roof at times, it was hardly a major issue and didn’t take away from the overall charm of the place.

Verified reviewThis is a bit different to the usual, having a cabin vibe in the main garden of the property. No AC, but the ceiling fan works adequately. Shower and bath room are good. Easy access to Jaco and beach, restaurants and bars etc a 5 minute walk away. Lovely pool and seating area is available and the owner offers breakfast at a small additional charge. Small but secure parking area for 3 cars.
The compact cabin vibe may not suit for longer stays, but 1 night suited us fine.

Verified reviewThe property is situated away from the hustle and bustle of the streets, yet it's within walking distance to the town center. The hosts are wonderful; they speak enough English to communicate effectively and are extremely helpful, taking great care of the property. There is air conditioning in the room, which makes it very comfortable. I truly appreciate the kindness of the hosts and wish them all the best in their endeavors! Additionally, breakfast was generous and served on large plates.

Verified reviewThis is a wonderful little nook that served us well. We were driving by through the coast on our way to San José and decided to stop in Jaco. It was a room with 3 twin (single) beds. Just enough for crashing the night. Not sure if it will be good for more than a couple of nights since with bags and everything it could get a bit crammed. But it was perfect for our impromptu beach day. The breakfast was delicious and super close to the beach.

No windows, just mosquito nets, a bit noisy and humid inside the cabin.

Verified reviewGood location, pretty nice property with a pool. Clean apartment with a big shower and a functional kitchen.
There was no salt, pepper or any other essential in the kitchen. The hosts live in the upper apartment and are policing quite a lot, which is okay, but feels kind of controlling. They told us to remove the towels from the gate on the windows because “there were other guests”, in a beach location… come on. Be aware that at 7:00 am you’ll wake up due to the noise on the upper floor.
