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 were there for an athletic competition so we were looking for someplace that was secure, peaceful and very quiet at night and within walking distance of a lot of restaurants. La Posada was just the right match.
When we arrived, we were given a different room than what we had reserved. Everything worked out fine, but it would have been nice to know about that ahead of time.

Verified reviewWonderful location right in front of the entrance to Manuel Antonio National Park. The area was lively and walkable to many restaurants. The area quieted down after the park closed which was nice. A short walk to the beach, although the best beach is inside MA NP. Breakfast was nice with a few options to choose from and made to order, so breakfast took at least 30mins (no buffet style). Overall property was small and quaint which worked for our needs. We stayed in a suite (2 story with bedrooms upstairs) which fit our family of 5 just fine. Could use some updating and refinishing but it was fine for what we needed and good value compared to other accommodations in the area. The pool was nice and the hammock outside our suite was loved by the kids. The daily monkey and lizard visits were awesome!
Could have been cleaner and refreshed painting

Verified reviewExcellent location - right next door to the national park and beach. Ronnie was very helpful and friendly. The room was very spacious.
The communal areas including the pool area are a bit tired and need a clean. The breakfast was not good. We ended up eating elsewhere despite paying for breakfast. House cleaning not daily.

Verified reviewThe breakfast options were delicious. There was a nice pool area although we were too busy to use it. We were able to walk to the Manuel Antonio National Park. Dinner options, shopping, and the beach were all within an easy walk.
The garbage cans near the common area bathroom and the bathroom itself should have been much cleaner.

Verified reviewThe proximity to the Manuel Antonio park!! Just watch out there is a jungle hotel 1 km outside of park. Also don’t stop for the park guide hustlers as you enter the area. The hotel is literally 100m outside the park. We also saw more wildlife there than in the park 🤣
Parking is not included in this hotel as is stated in Booking.com. We had a rental car, so paid the $10 parking fee to park in one of the vendor’s yard, which is actually next to the alley with free parking. We thought it better to have someone watch it.

Verified reviewProximity to the beach and to Manuel Antonio National Park was excellent. The pool within the hotel was a great place to relax after a day of adventures and to meet other tourists.
The food included with the room was not great, and there were limited choices.

Verified reviewWe wanted to stay near Manuel Antonio National Park and were surprised to find the hotel less than 100 feet from the entrance to the Park. The staff was very helpful and accomodating. Pedro at the front desk told us that our Australian cousins had been asking for us so we were able to have an impromptu reunion with family from two continents while getting an upgrade to our room. Thank you, Pedro! The room was on two levels, very clean, and more than enough for us. Breakfast was great and we were entertained by the capuchin monkeys who helped clear plates when other guests left. We also saw iguanas and birds roaming around. Close proximity to the Park was a real plus and we were able to meet our guide just outside the Park. We also enjoyed lunch at the small pizza place next to the hotel run by a woman who spends half the year in Costa Rica and half in Sicily. Many thanks for the only dark beer we found in Costa Rica! If the heat is an issue, they may have the misting machine working to cool you off. Many thanks to Damien and Damien Junior at the front desk who helped us arrange a driver to our next location. Special thanks to Carlos, who ran off with my cellphone to get a picture of a toucan (no simple task) and returned with some great pictures.
This was a great place to stay when you go to Manuel Antonio National Park. We had a near perfect stay. The only suggestion we would make would be to install grab bars in the showers for those of us with balance issues.

Verified reviewLocation and staff were amazing! Can't beat being literal steps from the park. The staff was happy and friendly. Thank you Rony for the great local tips
The bathroom shower drain was partially detached and dangerous. I cut my foot on it. A better set up for unpacking would have been nice. Maybe more open shelves. Also.... and this is more for all of the hotels in Costa Rica.... for a country that doesn't flush toilet paper, I'm very surprised that bidets aren't a thing here.
