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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

GermanyAt night it was pretty hard to find the little street to get to the entrance gate for the gated community.
The owner was so nice and friendly, telling us about herself and the apartment after arriving / while checking in. The apartment is situated in a gated community with a big automatic gate, so you feel really safe. The check in was a breeze at 11 p.m. The communication with the owners as well. The location is really great for one night near the airport (SJO). You can get there easily by your rental car or by Uber. It's clean and spacious.

Costa RicaA few ants had invaded the bathroom... non biting, and just kind of marching around.
Lush and beautiful garden setting, clean, private 2 bed studio next to the airport. Quick jump to the airport at 5 am using Uber (2K Colonnes). I was a little concerned about not being able to find a driver at that hour and Max, the owner offered if I didn't see any in the area. The night before, a quick walk up the street to a market to buy lunch for the next day and dinner at the pizza & sushi place - both good.

United KingdomWe struggled a bit to get across the gate to the residential area, but this was just a minor hiccup.
The apartment was of very generous size, furnishing is basic, but perfectly fine. A very cost-effective place if you need to stay around the airport. This was our first place to stop after landing in Costa Rica. The owner, a very friendly guy, gave us a number of useful tips. Much appreciated! The place is located in a residential area behind a locked gate, giving your car extra security.

The hosts are super friendly. It's our first stay in Costa Rica, so they gave us many suggestions on where to go and tips on how to survive in driving. The breakfast is also tasty. We had the best gallo pinto among our entire trip in Costa Rica. My stomach was not comfortable that morning but the hosts helped me adjust the breakfast so i can digest better. The place is spacious, clean and convenient as well. Definitely enjoy our stay here!

CanadaThe property is very cute with a nice garden and a cute dog! The hosts were amazing and very helpful. We only stayed 1 night, but Max, the owner, even offered his phone number so that we could call him whenever during our trip in case something happened. He even gave us the good routes to take for the rest of our trip. The breakfast was good and well worth the money as everything is organic and grown in their garden. Location is super convenient as it’s close to a rental car company and the airport. Overall it was a great stay.
