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 reviewAmazing location in the rainforest and incredible view of the Whale’s Tail in the ocean. Toucans visited our tree every afternoon. Wonderful staff! Delicious food! beautifully appointed rooms. great workout to get to the restaurant and car park.
the need for a 4x4 vehicle was not emphasized nearly enough. our car gave out and we had to get shuttles up and down the mountain every time. tough workout to get to the restaurant and car park.
HI Sabrina, thank you so much for staying with us! We are glad you enjoyed your stay and have taken your suggestion on board to emphasize even more the need for a 4x4 vehicle!

Verified revieweverything was perfect. first of all the staff: friendly, professional, attentive and unobtrusive. you can relax completely undisturbed in your own villa or stay in the lounge area. very clean, spacious and luxurious villa with private mini-pool. large terrace with big window front and view of the ocean (sunset!) and the forest - also from the comfortable, big bed. i even saw a toucan in the tree of my terrace. soft towels, beautiful bathroom, high quality care products, etc. can i please stay here forever?
it’s not a bargain, but it’s worth every cent. i’d definitely come back. the only thing i didn’t like was that i had to leave. note that the road is quite steep, a four-wheel drive vehicle is an advantage.
Thank you for staying with us! It was a pleasure to have you. We are glad you enjoyed the villa and private pool.

Verified reviewThe property is absolutely breathtaking. Truly feels “one with nature”. The food was absolutely amazing. Everyone was incredibly kind and helpful.
The road absolutely does require 4WD to get to the property. You’ll also want comfortable shoes for your walk to the main area (bar/restaurant/pool lounge/etc.) Even this isn’t a “dislike”; just things to absolutely know before your stay.
