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.).

CanadaOur home in San José! For our third stay at Posada el Quijote, we were treated to a wonderful surprise — an upgrade to a stunning suite. The kids were absolutely thrilled, and we enjoyed a fantastic evening before drifting off to sleep in the most comfortable beds. The staff are attentive, the breakfasts delicious, and the gardens and views simply breathtaking. For us, there’s no doubt: Posada el Quijote is the place to stay in San José. We’re already planning our next visit, this time with our extended family!"

United StatesDriving to the hotel is a bit hard. A huge hill to drive up. But once you get there it’ll be worth every penny and the stress. Don’t let this discourage your booking bc you don’t want to miss out on this hotel .
The rooms are nice! The views were amazing!! The staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Good place to start or end your trip through Costa Rica. Far away from the city and noise but approachable easily by uber. Beautiful view over the skyline and a nice pool. Cute cats around. It has everything you need and nice details. You really feel cared for. Would come back anytime.

CanadaThe only thing to note is that there are no restaurants within walking distance. However, Uber Eats works very well here, and enjoying a meal with the stunning city view is actually a real treat.
Our whole family truly enjoyed our stay at Posada el Quijote — from the beautiful gardens and the breathtaking view over the city, to the stunning view from our room and the delicious breakfast. This was our second stay here, and I believe Posada el Quijote is well on its way to becoming a tradition for our visits to San José. Highly recommended!

CanadaJust a heads-up: the property can be a little tricky to find, at least when using Google Maps.
"An unforgettable stay! The property is simply incredible, with a stunning pool and breathtaking views over the city of San José. This former villa exudes a unique charm and character you can feel the moment you arrive. Breakfasts are delicious, fresh, and beautifully served each morning. Special mention to the maître d'hotel, who is not only welcoming but also exceptionally attentive and helpful. A true gem in the heart of San José — highly recommended!"

United StatesThe bedroom was comfortable, although the ceiling fan was a bit wonky. The bathroom was a decent size, but the shower area could use better lighting. There was also a bit of a lack in countertop space and electrical outlets, which made it a little less convenient.
The house has an awesome view and beautiful design—both inside and out. The neighborhood was peaceful, and we especially loved the friendly local cats that would occasionally wander by. The hosts were very accommodating and thoughtful, even providing a blue towel specifically for dirty clothes and shoes.

United StatesLoved everything!
This property is something you read about in a book. It is very quaint with a fantastic view of the city. It makes you feel like you are staying in an island villa with beautiful grounds and unique rooms. The managers at the front desk were so welcoming and willing to help us in any way they could from airport drop offs to helping us pick a place to get dinner. There are shared living rooms which is so nice to have a quiet afternoon to read/relax. The breakfast menu, which is included in your stay, is pretty extensive- the food was great! The property is also home to a few cats that were so sweet and friendly, so if you love animals, this is the place for you!

RomaniaEverything was perfect.
The staff is incredibly friendly, and the location feels safe and clean. I especially appreciated the presence of cats around the property—they add charm without being intrusive, which is great even if you’re not a cat lover. For breakfast, you choose from a menu and they prepare everything fresh, which I really enjoyed!
