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 States7 hectares of beautiful forest, with several short trails and 3 ponds or so. food was delicious, staff very helpful, and host/owner Christine very gracious. Saw two kinds of monkeys, a tapir, and tons of birds including 3 kinds of toucans, parrots, hummingbirds, and much more - all in less than 24 hours. Beautiful and relaxing. Next time, we will stay longer!

United StatesThe bathrooms could have a private curtains as it had glass windows and someone can sneak and see us take a shower.
Pristine cottages with views of the stars and a 'bed and breakfast; kind of homely feel. The host was passionate about Costa Rican food, art, flora and fauna. This was evident all around the property. She spoke lovingly about the birds that would come to feed on bananas every day and we were able to experience this and were in awe! The host and her helpers were gracious enough to make a big vegetarian meal for us the night before we checked out and even offered to pack it for us for our trip. We would like to appreciate ------- in particular for her vibrant personality and how she took care of our group at dinner and breakfast.

United StatesIncluded breakfast was good. Made to order. My paid dinner was the chicken option, it was a bit dry and average.
The staff and owner were so kind. She alerted us to monkey sightings and held my bags while I adventured (after check out) The property was lovely and the rooms are clean and each has a nice view of the green jungles of CR. Location is close Tenorio National Park.

This is the second time that I went to Costa Rica. This year for 23 days and last year for 24 days.This is far the best place I ever stayed in Costa Rica.I can't express how wonderful the owner Cristine is.She is a wonderful host but especially she is the nicest and kindness person I met in Costa Rica. She is devoted to the animals and she buys 1700 bananas a week to feed all the animals on her property. from all kind of birds like the Toucan to the rare Tapir. I spent $350.00 at Corcovado National Park, stayed overnight and just saw the elusive Tapir early in the morning and never got a nice picture. Here she has them coming in the morning and a night. Here you can see all the animals up close, instead of spending all that money in the parks. And what can I say about the large bungalow that you stay with all the large windows looking at your very large deck. You also have 2 Jacuzzi on the property and seven hectares of trails.Breakfast is wonderful and so is the dinner if you wish to eat there. I would consider this Heaven on Earth, peaceful and relaxing. I promised myself that I wouldn't come back to Costa Rica for the many bad adventures that you get by traveling by yourself, but after finding this gem and Cristine I promised her that I am coming next year here and staying at least a week. Trust me if you stay here I guarantee that you won't regret it. Cristine thank you and until I see you again Pura Vida!!!!

United StatesOur bed was extremely firm, and our coffee maker did not work. Also, hot tubs need to be at 101 - 102 F. That was it! No big deal. The only other thing I could suggest is maybe advising people to wear closed toe shoes only. Long pants and boots in the jungle are a must. Never sandals in the grass… and bug spray EVERYDAY.
AMAZING AMAZING PLACE! We absolutely loved it and Christine is the absolute best. Breakfast is wonderful… and the birds! Oh my! The wild birds! Christine has created a refuge for animals. We got to see a Tapir and a Sloth right there at the lodge.
