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.).

Small insects in the room but it's tough to stop them because you're in the jungle. We learned to live with them.

Verified reviewThis hotel was perfect for me, without having to stay out of the town centre. The room was great! Lovely bathroom and a comfy bed. It was nice have the coffee maker too. The hotel has a nice little pool and the garden walkway down to the river is a nice touch. I saw lizards and dart frogs down there, as well as a massive iguana in a tree one evening. All the staff were very nice. One lady even kindly walked me to my tour van with her umbrella. The hotel breakfast is good! There is a good choice. All the staff there for both breakfast and dinner were very friendly and attentive. Travelling alone if was great to be able to take dinner there too & it’s very reasonably priced - try their Casado.
No complaints .. of course it’s a shame there was no sloth there at that time! But what can you do!?
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay with us from the comfortable room and coffee maker to the pool and garden path by the river. It’s great that you got to see some of the local wildlife too! We truly appreciate your kind words about our team; we’re glad we could make you feel welcome and cared for, especially as a solo traveler. And thank you for recommending our Casado—we agree, it’s a must try! Hopefully, next time a sloth will decide to show up just for you 😊 Looking forward to welcoming you again soon!

Rooms and facilities seem recently renovated, the pool is clean and nice to dip in if it’s hot. Very friendly staff, reception included. It’s located off the main through road but far enough not to get noisy. Lovely little back garden. Excellent value for money.

Verified reviewExcellent location, walking distance to all restaurants, cute little river near by, we got to see a sloth. Breakfast was just OK, could be better. Plenty of parking available.
There was an error when I arrived and they gave me 1 bed instead of the 2 beds I had reserved, but the hotel fixed it for the following nights, we were moved to the correct 2 bed room.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We're glad you enjoyed our central location, the nearby river, and even spotted a sloth how special! We also appreciate your feedback about breakfast and are always looking for ways to improve. We apologize for the initial room mix-up, but we’re happy our team could resolve it quickly. Thanks again for your understanding, and we hope to welcome you back in the future!
