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 reviewIt's a great location in the jungle with a huge terrace from which you can see the animals and birds in their natural environment. We enjoyed it very much.
The pool is being completed on the property so we heard minimal construction noise. It didn't bother us much as we were going to the ocean.

Verified reviewWe had a wonderful time at Maze Lodge in the middle of the jungle! Sure the road is a little bumpy but nothing a 4x4 car (we had a Suzuki Jimny) can't handle...a little adventure ride for free :) We want to thank our hosts Frida and Alexander so much for hospitality and their support! We had a great time and a big experience! All the best for your Maze Lodge!

Verified reviewMaze Lodge manages to achieve a very authentic, secluded feel whilst also providing all the comforts needed to make a jungle stay more enjoyable (very good AC, running water, wifi, electricity). Alex and Frida were extremely welcoming and were always on hand to assist and even helped with some wildlife spotting - it genuinely felt more like staying in someone’s guest house than a hotel. Despite being relatively close to Puerto Jimenez, it does feel as if you are staying in the middle of the jungle, being awoken by howler monkeys and seeing toucans directly off the balcony. Their recommended Corcovado guide Louis was fantastic and I would recommend booking tours through Maze Lodge. There is a big supermarket in Puerto Jimenez where you can stock up supplies as the Lodge offers excellent cooking options - including a grill on the very scenic deck. I’m excited to see how the pool comes along!
We loved everything about the lodge - a bit of an adventure getting there but well worth it!

Verified review- beautiful little lodges with privacy and a great view into the trees - great for birdwatching ( we saw toucans, hummingbirds close by etc.) - a telescope on the terrace ( unfortunately we couldn’t use it because of a rainy night) - Frida the host was very helpful and open and tried to solve every question / problem - in the future there will be a great swimming pool to share for the 3 lodges ( now still in the making)
- you can ONLY get with a 4x4 to the location ! (we got the information after we booked it, luckily Frida and Alex offered to get us with their car from Puerto Jimenez (20-25 min ride) ) - there are no big towels - there were a lot of little insects (maybe passing the mosquito net because they are so small and we had light inside), but they are harmless - only cold water showers - the kitchen could have a little bit more stuff to cook since there is no way to eat out around close by ( Puerto Jimenez 20 min with a 4x4) ( maybe a big bowl, a scissor, a cutting board, salt and pepper would be nice) - communication was in the beginning not the best because we texted them multiple times without an answer ( after two days we found out communication via what’s app was easiest with them instead of mail)

Verified reviewAn exceptional place to stay, with nature and abundant beauty all around you. The rooms, with views of rain forest, the stars in the night makes for a wonderful experience. If you ask nicely,Alex may take you on a hike of their land.

Verified reviewAmazing 2 BR house in the middle of the jungle! Clean, spacious, everything we needed. We really enjoyed our time in there. Cooked dinner outside on the patio and spent the evening watching the stars and listening to the sounds from the jungle. Saw monkeys and birds from the patio. Total relaxation. The owner of the place, Alexander, took good care of us. We could also book a guide to our Corcovado tour through him. Would highly recommend!!!

Verified reviewThe journey to get there was a bit bumpy, but trust us - it’s absolutely worth it! The property itself is breathtaking, with a beautiful trek that winds through lush greenery. This trail leads to a magnificent old oak tree and a river—an idyllic spot for nature lovers. We stayed in the Tunas Lodge, and let me tell you, the name is perfect. Toucans are everywhere and their favorite hangout spot is right above the bungalow. Watching these vibrant birds so up close was pure magic. The lodge is beautifully designed. One of the highlights was waking up to the sounds of nature and stepping onto the balcony to witness all four species of monkeys casually jumping from tree to tree. The owners are incredibly nice and always ready to help. What truly stands out about Maze Lodge is the owners’ commitment to sustainability. They work with local providers, ensuring that the lodge supports the community and minimizes its environmental footprint. Our stay was short, but we’re already looking forward to returning. Maze Lodge is a true hidden gem for anyone seeking a magical and eco-friendly escape in the heart of the Osa Peninsula.
Our stay was to short!
