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.).

United StatesEverything was excellent. 10/10!
Awesome staff and management, wildlife sightings right in the property on the many trails. The Italian restaurant is extremely good quality, service with a rainforest and river view, with reasonable prices. Pool is clean and perfect temperature.

AustriaOur shower was not working in our assigned room. We reported it but it could not be fixed so we moved rooms. Could have been avoided by checking the room before check in. But no big deal for us. Bar drinks too expensive! 8$ for a local beer we find too much.
Check in was very informative and thorough. Room size is decent, bathroom spacious with 2 sinks. The garden views are pretty and sitting on the porch was very relaxing. We are breakfast sitting outside watching the birds and other animals We booked a morning guided walking tour which was totally worth it and our guide was very knowledgeable. The pool was really good, too.

United KingdomThe food in the restaurants was disappointing and did not come up to the standard of the rest of the facilities.
This was a friendly and comfortable place to stay. We were lucky and had a room facing the river which gave us a splendid view. The visitors are mainly bird watchers and nature lovers and there are many opportunities for wild life watching. The howler monkeys visited while we were there and we had great views of them.

Breakfast options a bit limited if you don't like rice and beans. The feeding station by the dining room is a genius idea. We saw so many varieties of birds.

United KingdomThe 2 hr organised walk in the rainforest could have been so much better. Guide not very enthusiastic and walked at a snails pace. Did not enjoy having to listen to a chain saw walking along the route. Not cheap, but it is a superb setting.
Superb location. Wooden walkways overlooked stunning scenery. Good bfast and bird viewing area. Tree frogs near bfast area! The self guided walk in the rainforest on north side of the road was excellent ( saw frogs/ snakes/ monkeys etc). Massive rooms. Clean bathrooms. Lovely pool.
