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 KingdomThe proximity to the beach and pool area is wonderful. It’s also nice to have the local wildlife wandering around. We enjoyed the food and drinks very much and the staff were really friendly.

Gorgeous property set in the jungle and nestled right against the beach. It was quiet, clean, and the staff were fantastic. Plenty of sloths and iguanas hanging above.

Costa RicaThe parking spaces are limited and they are on the street so we decided to not use our car so we wouldn't lose our spot.
Overall, great service. Very friendly staff and clean and nice facilities. Breakfast was excellent and varied. The access to the beach was great.

United StatesThe breakfast was underwhelming, more in line with a 3-star experience. Service during breakfast felt slow and disorganized. The massage we received was excellent, though slightly overpriced and outsourced. We’ve stayed at over 20 hotels across Costa Rica, and this was the first that didn’t offer a coffee machine in the room, which was a surprise. There’s also a noticeable tendency to upsell on everything, which somewhat detracts from the relaxed luxury the hotel aims to offer.
The hotel is stunning, nestled in lush greenery that gives you the feeling of being deep in the jungle. The rooms are bright, clean, and well-maintained. The pools and hot tub are beautiful, and the front desk and hotel staff are genuinely warm and welcoming. The location is exceptional—close to everything, yet serene. Room service and dinner quality were both quite good.

Costa RicaService at restaurant was not great. They were all very nice and friendly, but you could eat a whole meal waiting on a drink order. Drinks were small for the price. Hot tub never worked. They said they’d turn it on for our last night, but it rained. Lol
Beautiful, perfectly located. Really felt like we were “off the grid”.

United KingdomI could nitpick but I just don't want to. Overall I think this place is great value - it is affordable luxury!
Look no further, book this place - we had the best stay! Firstly, it is the best location, short drive to Puerto Viejo but also walking distance of plenty of great restaurants and supermarkets nearby, you can even walk to the Jaguar Rescue. It feels like you're right in the jungle, the landscaping around the hotel is done so well, with the boardwalks through the trees, so all rooms feel really private and quiet and there is wildlife including sloths right amongst the trees in the hotel! Breakfast was great, and in the best spot looking right at the beach. The pools were lovely (we found three during our stay) and all the beach loungers etc. Staff were all really friendly and helpful and nice. DO NOT MISS the morning wildlife walk with the Jungle Man!! We saw eleven sloths in one hour as well as toucans, monkeys and much more! That guy is a legend.

United StatesThe hotel hot tub was cold, had to ask twice to turn the heat on, also the location of the hot tub is right under trees and the mosquito level was high, spiders in the tress with web, the plants and tree right above the hot tub makes the tub half filled with debris which clogs the filter area. Needs to be better maintain as the experience was not felt.
Beach View was great from the restaurant however the beach was not user friendly due to the season and wet season. would of like to see a much cleaner beach with more sand.

Costa RicaOur room had a nice balcony but looking at a neighbors house so it was a bit weird sitting there and looking directly into someone’s property. Not that they were rude or anything, everyone in Puerto Viejo is super nice, just the thing about looking into someone’s property from your hotel.
Away from the center of Puerto Viejo, just enough so is quite but close enough to go anytime we wanted. Great front beach property.

AustraliaAir conditioning system needs cleaning, my room had a very musty smell for my entire stay, the humidity doesn't help, however there is a lack of airflow in the room...a ceiling fan would help. Also from time to time there was a strong smell from t he sewer/septic system both in my room and also near the pool and restaurant.. it was quite unpleasant
