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.).

Costa RicaThe bathroom floor was overflooded every time we showered.
Loved the privacy of this apartment in the property and the fact that there is back a "back door" just for this apartment, which made it easier to get to my car which was parked at the front of the property. And although I had expected parking spaces inside the apartment lot, the area is pretty safe so I was not worried.

United StatesWe liked everything!
It's in a perfect location. Only 5 minutes walk to the main street. And without the noise of the cars and other tourists. It has everything we were looking for. A small apartment were we could cook, rest and hang out close to all the cool places of the town. The staff was very friendly! And the pool really clean.

CanadaThat the mosquitoes loved me! LOL
Beautiful grounds, lush and natural, set the mood for a quiet, relaxing, private retreat from the noise of the town, which is a mere 3 minute walk. The beach is a 5 minute walk, yes just 5 minutes to the best swimming and surfing beach with lots of shade. The 'room' is just perfect. Its a full apartment with a full kitchen, gas stove with oven, full fridge, utensils, coffee pot, toaster, and blender. Powder room on first level with living area and a walk out onto a lovely patio overlooking the gardens and pool. 2nd floor has double bed and single, huge closets, built in safe, and massive bathroom. Ceiling fans and AC on both levels makes for comfort and escape from the heat outside. The pool area is lovely. Big enough for floating around chatting with other guests. Gets lots of shade in afternoon, and there are more than enough loungers and chairs for everyone. The owner and the staff are very kind, friendly, and professional people. They made us feel welcome and also left us alone to enjoy ourselves. At times it was like we had our own slice of heaven! Howler Monkeys hanging out in the trees above us, wildlife at night was fun to see as well. And the two cats that have made it home were pleasant and friendly. Anything you needed was provided. Any question answered quickly. If you needed your room cleaned, needed more matches for the stove etc you just asked. We can't express how lovely Tamarindo Blue was. We were there for 3 weeks. We cooked every day and enjoyed getting to know the local spices and dishes. We felt 100% safe and at home from day 1. If you are a person who wants that all inclusive gated pampered holiday this is not for you. If you are a person who loves to travel, experience the country, and take care of yourself than you can not go wrong here. Really really great. I am a picky traveler and have high standards and I was so happy there. And the value for the cost!!!! Amazing.

United StatesThe room was sufficient for what we paid. Does the place need some updating? Absolutely! For what we paid we got what we expected, and we were comfortable.
Location was excellent! Close enough to town/beach but far enough that you didn’t have to hear the hustle and the bustle.

Costa RicaSome suggestions but not a blocker. I guess sanitary products like soap and shampoo could be provided, as well as some additional towels. I asked for a Filter for the coffee pod, and it was provided very quickly. Room cleaning was not offered proactively but then it was near Christmas and I understand the availability of staff could be difficult.
It was a nice comfortable room with a Patio.
