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 very close to the beach. And it has fantastic security on the property. The pools and property were immaculate.
The apartment needs a deep clean. It appeared to not have been cleaned in a while. It wasn’t dirty but it wasn’t really clean, either. The towels smelled musty and the bedding was old. The apartment needs updating.

Verified reviewMy stay was short, but I will be back as soon as possible, to enjoy this wonderful spot!! The condo is beautiful, and in the perfect location. The ocean is so close that you can hear the waves. Steps from the pool as well, with a fantastic bar/restaurant as well. Ron is a marvelous host who is accommodating and provides lots of great information about Playa Jaco. The resort is very safe, well maintained, and felt like home to me!!

Verified reviewIt was a cute condo and complex in a perfect location directly on the beach and one step to the pool which was beautiful and warm. We met another couple who had lived there since it was built. Very pleasant experience. Will definitely choose to come back to this property!
We had a slight communication issue with security, but to be expected when we don’t speak the language.

Lots of buildings going up around you making a racket. No fault of the owner, just progress for you. Went lovely and quiet in the evening.

Verified reviewLocation is excellent. Pools warm. Staff were good with non Spanish speakers. The owner was excellent to deal with for arranging payments. Owner is great.
Beds were not comfortable. Hairs on the sheets was disturbing. Floor sticky which Canadians will notice, when taking off shoes. Furniture tired. Two windows could not be locked (or even shut) due to missing broken latches. Luckily there's Security as you're on the ground floor. Could be loud with the window not closing when large Latino families camp beside it with music loud.

Verified reviewI really enjoyed my stay at Bahia Encantada. Ron was an excellent host. The condo was in excellent shape and Ron went above and beyond to make sure the stay was perfect. The one key item he provided was a list of activities and restaurants which I found very helpful. The condo was located 1.5km or so from the main Jaco area so a car/taxis was very helpful to have during the trip. I liked the fact that it was slightly outside the main town as it was quieter. The pool setup and location within the condo could not have been any better either! I highly recommend staying at Ron's condo in Bahia Encantada. One thing to note, the payment for the stay is outside of the Bookings platform via Zelle or Paypal, but this is just fine and everything works out, so don't be worried about that. Enjoy your stay!

Verified reviewThe location was awesome, it has a nice pool and the condo was super clean. The owner is friendly and ready to help you with anything.
Everything was so good. If I have to think in something I did not like maybe just the internet connection, it is not that good. But is enough to check social networks.

Verified reviewRon's condo is Awesome! We really wished we stayed here two nights instead of one. It is on the beach with the most beautiful views of the Pacific, which was majestic during the storm we experienced when we were there. Thankfully the sun came out the next day so we got to enjoy the extensive, clean, and warm pools right next to the condo, as well as the fantastic beach you are on! The complex is very secure and the staff was great. We loved being able to run out to the beach & pool with the condo right there. Very safe & lovely. It is a short walk to town, but we didn't realize this and drove the short jaunt to Panaderia Artesenal. You must go here for breakfast or lunch!! Fabulous. Ron also provided a whole book with recommendations. The condo is spotless and very comfortable with lovely attention to detail. We ordered take-out from Sushi At Home which was great. We were left a bag of coffee we made in the morning which was a nice touch! Will absolutely recommend to friends & family and hope to return. Pura Vida!
The only thing that could have been better was the 2nd shower as it just was not hot. It was no bother as the kids used it and were fine for one night. We did let Ron know.
