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 StatesFrom the front, it doesn't look like much. We were there in the low season, and some things were clearly being worked on (the above ground pool was covered for example), so I don't think it showed to its best advantage during the low season. But these little details didn't really matter much to our stay.
We stayed at the hotel our first night in San Jose after a late airport arrival, and our last night in San Jose before a morning departure. The hotel itself is pretty basic, and does not look like much from the front, but it was very well suited to our needs! The airport shuttle was convenient and easy to navigate (the hotel sent instructions in advance which were pretty clear, and we communicated with the driver via Whatsapp). The room was comfortable, with convenient power outlets and cute little folded towels. We landed in the dark, and it was nice to wake up to the greenery of the hotel garden as our first daytime view of Costa Rica. The breakfast buffet was great! Really tasty foods and juices. The first night we were told we were the only ones in the hotel, but they put out the whole breakfast, which was very nice. Proximity to the airport is great, especially if you are getting in late or have to leave early. (Some reviews have mentioned noise - I did hear planes flying overhead while we ate breakfast, but they did not disrupt our sleep at all), and the hotel was very close to our car rental agency, which made things very easy. (They also have their own car rental service, but we had already booked a car with Adobe before we made the hotel reservation, so we did not look into that option).

United KingdomGiven the close proximity to the airport, there is quite a lot of noise from the aeroplanes, but there were fewer flights than I expected and they don't run through the night, so overall not a problem.
The key selling point of this property was the shuttle service to/from the airport. They really do come and pick you up! There's free wifi in the airport so you just text them once you have your baggage and they turn up 10 minutes later. However, the property itself is actually rather nice as well. The rooms are set around a nice garden which I was not expecting given the built up nature of the surrounding area. Rooms are fairly spacious and well appointed. Bathroom/shower etc was all in order. Breakfast was good with a few more offerings beyond the traditional Gallo pinto. Staff were always friendly and helpful. There is a decent restaurant a few blocks away but other than that you would need to jump in the car to get anywhere else.

United StatesThe batteries on my TV remote were out. It was difficult to navigate the TV. I was not there to watch TV, so it was not a big deal. It served its purpose by allowing me to shower and rest.
My stay was an in-and-out experience. I arrived late to San Jose to stay the night, rest, and get up to fly out the next day. The location was perfect, clean, and comfortable.
