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 reviewLove the location, the pool is nice and we appreciated the outdoor kitchen by the pool for preparing breakfast. Nice balcony sitting area as well.
The smell of skunk at night. Not sure what made the smell but it was very strong and lasted a long time.

Verified reviewVery friendly staff and pet friendly hotel! The location is great, the beach is literally walking distance in front of the hotel. There are many restaurant options around and the pool was amazing!
I wish they had breakfast included for the price we paid per night. Tamarindo is very expensive overall, specially for locals.

Verified reviewA lot! This hotel is great. We stayed in the premium double room, I think? It goes right out to the pool and was so convenient not to have to use stairs with three little ones (this hotel is very kid friendly too!) The rooms are spacious and clean. The beds are very comfy. It was nice to have a little porch area to dry clothes and sit outside. There is a cooking area. The pool is gorgeous and everything seems really chill and secluded from the city. The beach is right across the street and there's an open shower by the pool to wash off sand before going back to the room. And all the restaurants that we went to were less than a five minute walk.
It's not that big of a deal to me but the bathroom was really small. And there was no bathroom by the pool. It would have been nice to use a pool bathroom inside of our own for while we were swimming to keep our room floor from getting so wet.

Verified reviewThe staff is friendly, accommodating, the rooms have a decent size, comfy bed, the pool is great! For the price, a really good option.
I loved the outdoor kitchen, though I wished for more amenities & structure there ( plates, cutlery, no oil, salt, pepper, no basics for cooking, really old cookware, etc). In general the outdoor is very well maintained, the indoors has gotten into the years & could use some replacement here and there. No hair dryer.
