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 StatesThe rooms have a rustic, open-air feel—so you may notice some tiny visitors like mosquitoes or spiders coming and going. While there’s no microwave, each room includes a handy mini fridge for your snacks and drinks. The property features three pool areas, and during our stay, two were filled—one with a beautiful (though partially operating) waterfall feature. Keep in mind that staff are available during the day, with a friendly housekeeper onsite daily, and self-service in the evenings adds to the laid-back, private atmosphere.
If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway that’s just a short drive from local shops and restaurants, this spot is a hidden gem! Tucked away from the crowds, it’s quiet and serene at night—and in the early mornings, nature greets you with the sounds of birds, cows, roosters, and even peacocks. The property is small and charming with comfortable rooms and thoughtful amenities. Check-in and check-out are a breeze, and breakfast hits the spot. The pools are filled with soothing thermal spring water (not a natural hot spring, but still wonderfully relaxing), and the lush greenery throughout the property adds to the tropical, tranquil vibe.

United StatesI don't have anything to add here. :-)
We absolutely loved the layout of the pools and the breathtaking view of Arenal Volcano. The property has a rustic charm that feels authentic and immersed in nature. One of the things we appreciated most—as Americans—was that it wasn’t overly touristy. Guests came from all over the world, which gave the place a truly international, relaxed vibe. The staff were exceptional—warm, attentive, and always ready to help with anything we needed. A beautiful stay in every way.

IsraelThe "hotel" had the concept of "virtual reception" which means you send them a message over booking (or Whatsapp) and they will reply within a few hours. Their replies were minimal to unhelpful. There was a local stuff for breakfast who spoke very basic English Located a short drive outside of town.
The "hotel" has a few big and nice few rooms and a small pool. Hotel a big garden with trees and planes. Nice. Good WIFI and fair breakfast.

CanadaThe walls in my room were very thin so I could hear people from next doors clearly. The unpaved road from the main road leading to the hotel did not have any street light so it was so dark when I was heading back to the hotel at night.
The pool with natural hot spring water was fantastic after a long day. Breakfast was great! Two ladies who take care of the property were warm and kind. It was a beautiful place that was away from the crowded downtown area which made my stay very peaceful and quiet. Having a full view of Arenal Volcano was a bonus.

United StatesThe room we were in could use a ceiling fan and screens on windows.
We decided to return for our last two nights of our four week Costa Rica exploring vaca at Loma due to the thermal pool and quiet location. The grounds are well maintained and its a little oasis away from touristy Fortuna.

CanadaThe only down side (a minor one) is that the breakfast costs extra ($8 pp). This led to a bit of embarrassment since I thought it was included because I had filtered on "breakfast included" when I booked (plus this place is named Loma Real Hot Springs BED AND BREAKFAST.)
Excellent location! It is a quiet oasis (other than the occasionally boisterous resident peacocks which didn't bother us) with a beautiful garden and a warm pool. We didn't have a car and were able to walk to a few restaurants and the Eco Terminales hot springs.

United KingdomThe track to the hotel is gravel and has a few pot holes. Not major issue but needs to be taken slowly.
Hot springs pool looking up at the volcano was incredible. Simple but delicious breakfast in a quiet area surrounded by trees, hummingbirds, peacocks and chickens. Staff were very friendly and you can check yourself in and out. Very close to La Fortuna which has loads of restaurants. Close to Arenal Volcano which has endless activities and experiences.
