How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewBeautiful place close to the international airport of San Jose (SJO). Friendly staff, wonderfull pool and garden, delicious restaurant and proper rooms. We used this location to start and end our holidays. When we left at 5:00 am for our flight back home, we got breakfast boxes on the go.

Verified reviewThe hotel lived up to the description in its marketing and delivered as promised. Late check-in by car was straightforward and hassle-free. The parking area is secure, enclosed by a tall fence and monitored by a guard, which gave a good sense of safety.
The pool area is pleasant and well-maintained, but the noise from the heavy traffic just outside the property is quite noticeable, especially if you're trying to relax or unwind. The lighting in the room is generally adequate, but it could definitely be improved—particularly the reading light, which is too weak for comfortable reading in the evening.

Verified reviewI can't rave about this place enough! It was our first stop during our 3 week stay in San Jose, yet it was one of the most memorable ones. My family and I stayed in the dome cabin. It was clean, spacious and comfortable. The entire grounds were well kept, like something out of a magazine, really. All of the plants and hiking trails were just beautiful. The on-site restaurant was so beautiful and slightly upscale. It had some of the best dinner options in Alajuela. The plates were a little more expensive than I'm accustomed to, but worth every penny. All of the meals we had there were fantastic. The restaurant staff was particularly kind and accommodating. We had some of the best waiters I've ever met. Dining with two little ones can be a hand-full, but they did not bat an eye! They were ready to help wherever possible. By the time we left, my family and I all wished that we had booked more days at Villa San Ignacio. We didn't want to leave!
My only recommendation would be to put an AC unit in the dome room.
