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.).

We loved our stay! The room is spotless clean and very spacious. We loved Delphine who welcomes you and is a lovely woman. The rooms are very well maintained. The pool is very clean and the WiFi works well I loved being woken up by scarlet macaw parrots. It was a very safe residential area and we slept very well because the area is so quiet!

United KingdomThere were only 2 sunbeds which was not a problem because it was so quiet. It would have been nice to have somewhere to hang wet clothes. It would have been nice to have an English TV channel. But these are only very minor...
Everything! As previously mentioned it was an oasis of quiet and calm near to the centre of Jaco but far enough away. We had the pool to ourselves every day as we preferred it to the beach. We loved listening to and watching all the birds including scarlet macaws ( which are very noisy!!) A possom wandered past whilst we were sitting on our patio one night, and there are 3 resident iguanas! Our hostess Delphine was very kind and always around if we needed help. A wonderful end to our trip to Costa Rica!

CanadaOnly that maybe the bed was a bit firm for my liking.
Our hostess, Delfin, was amazing and kind. The housekeeper was also extremely good and creative. I loved that it was just 10 spacious rooms and a lovely pool that felt like our own personal space. It was also walking distance to the beach and downtown.

United KingdomThe only thing I would say is that it would be nice to have a few more beds by the pool
This place is very special the staff were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much, the room was so clean and comfortable and spacious, the garden was beautiful we saw so many birds, and the humming birds each morning were a delight. The pool was lovely. We were so sad to leave and if we come back to Jaco we will be back.

United KingdomIt would have been nice to have some basic crockery (a couple of bowls, plates and cutlery) in the room. There is no kitchenette but sometimes we wanted to make lunch or a snack from what we had in the fridge.
Clean and comfortable room in a lovely lush garden setting. We could see macaws from our window and saw a toucan and an iguana in the garden! It’s in a quiet part of town, which we enjoyed. The pool was really big although we didn’t get to use it as much as we wanted as the weather wasn’t great. The terrace is quite big so we could sit out even in the rain. Delphine was very kind and helpful, and super responsive.

United StatesThere was a plumbing issue caused by the people before me that took some time to resolve. No fault of the hosts - more a supply issue - but I had to wait for some time to get access to my room. In the end, I was able to negotiate a late checkout, which turned out to be a great silver lining to the experience.
The pool area was lovely and the Jackson, our host was very accommodating.

CanadaWe really appreciated having air conditioning. The unit was quiet and effective. Our only MINOR complaint is that the unit was above the side of the bed, blowing the cold air across our heads at night. Would be better above the head of the bed, blowing down towards the base of the bed, or away from the bed altogether.
No breakfast, but coffee was available every morning. ALL the staff were so accommodating
