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 reviewIncredibly beautiful property, responsive and warm host, pool was gorgeous, and living space was comfortable, well equipped: bed was comfortable, A Frame was air conditioned, and shower/bathroom was massive. Helpful host connected me with surf lessons and was communicative of entry information via WhatsApp the entire stay.
Hotel could have been slightly closer location wise to the main beach in Tamarindo, however it was very nice to come back to a quiet space after going out.
Thanks Pamella for your stay it was short, but glad you appreciated your night Pura Vida Joe & Isa ✨ Stella & Gigi 🦮

Verified reviewWow, what an unforgettable experience! We split our time in the area between this property and another, and after just three nights here, we genuinely wished we had spent our entire trip at this incredible spot. Our private bungalow was stunning. Beautifully designed, spacious, and very comfortable. Having our own private pool felt like such a luxury, and the main pool offered the same upscale, resort-like ambiance. Every detail was thoughtfully done. Joe and his wife were exceptional hosts, welcoming and attentive. The fresh, made-to-order breakfast each morning was a true highlight: delicious, and featuring a different menu each day. Their 2 sweet dogs added a special, homey charm to the stay as well. The location was also ideal, just minutes from great restaurants, beaches, and nearby sights, yet still peaceful and private. Without a doubt, this is one of the best places we’ve ever stayed. We’re already planning our return… next time, for much longer!
That we didn’t stay longer!
Thanks for taking the time to write us an amazing review. It’s was a pleasure having You at our Oasis . Glad we made a difference in your stay in Costa Rica Maybe see you in March Pura Vida Joe & Isa ✨ Stella & Gigi 🦮

Verified reviewWord can not express how comfortable our stay was with Joe and Isa. They are so welcoming and personable. They make sure you have everything you need. The grounds are beautiful with lush tropical gardens and palm trees with meandering walk ways to your individual bungalows with private pools right off the porch steps. Everything is clean and tastefully decorated. Beds are so comfortable and it is so quiet for a restful night. OMGoodness the breakfast they cook for you each morning is so healthy and bursting with flavors! It is served in an outdoor area overlooking the larger pool & gardens with the sound of the waterfall. We enjoyed being 10 mins from the beaches and crowds. The property is gated so you feel securely tucked in to a little paradise!
Thanks so much for your comments, we thrive with making a difference for our clients . We enjoy making you feel like home away from your home. Glad you appreciated our offer and maybe you will be back sometime Pura Vida Joe & Isa ✨ Stella & Gigi 🦮

Verified reviewWe loved our recent stay, as a family of 4. We stayed at the 2-bedroom Villa which was beautiful, modern and had everything we needed including its own pool. The property is beautiful, quiet and well maintained. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast in particular is excellent, and we enjoyed it every morning (menu changes everyday). 15 minutes drive from the bustle of Tamarindo beach. Highly recommended!

Verified reviewFantastic stay of 3 weeks at this wonderful luxury lodge boutique hotel. The owners who run the place are extremely friendly, helpful and provide really great service, making you feel at home. You can tell they love what they do. Breakfasts were fabulous, rooms were tidy and clean, comfy beds, outdoor shower is a great touch. The location is perfect, easy drive to tamarindo and nestled in a quite relaxing environment out of crowded areas. Close to various other beaches and easy to get to main roads for sightseeing. Overall a great experience to repeat.

The owners did not make me feel welcomed, they did not speak Spanish (I'm a native Spanish speaker travelling to a Central American country) very very strange hosts it felt as if we were not welcomed.

A little bit far out from town, so you need a car to go to the beach/get dinner. However, if you have one, there are several excellent beaches within a reasonable driving distance.

Verified reviewVery comfortable and private room, as well as a nice pool area. Since it is a boutique hotel, there are not a lot of other guests, so it feels more private. Awesome breakfast cooked to order every day. The owners were helpful without being intrusive.
We liked everything! We chose it because we didn’t want to be in the city, but some travelers may not like having to drive into Tamarindo for meals and activities. We wanted to be somewhere more peaceful, which this property was.
