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.).

CanadaThe pictures didn’t even do this place justice! Absolutely STUNNING views - west facing property made for the most magical sun sets (from the hot tub no less). Facilities were beautifully designed, everything you could need was there (including thoughtful snacks/ coffee w/ milk and other goodies). Hosts were very responsive and helpful. I will be dreaming of this place for a long time - can’t recommend staying here enough.

CanadaNothing we didn’t like
Everything, clean plentiful towels, clean everything, the finishes in the A-frame house were amazing hope I have a house like that one day. The space was unbelievable with high ceilings, big windows, fresh air, gorgeous walkway and doors, plenty of sunlight and such a relaxing deck with a hot tub. The views of the star and the sunset were incredible. They gave us a bottle of brut that we enjoyed while looking at the sunset and the toucans that flew around. They provided binoculars that helped us look at the amazing wildlife around our place. Best place we have stayed at anywhere in the world.

United StatesThe roads to get to Amalú Monteverde can be a bit intimidating if you are not used to driving in Costs Rica. There are many directional signs to confirm you are heading in the right direction and once you arrive you will realize the drive was worth all the ruts and bumps.
Simply amazing! We stayed in Glass Cabin No. 1 and from the moment we arrived we’re in awe of the amazing view, the unique location hanging on the edge of the mountain, and the modern conveniences including the well stocked refrigerator, and champagne on ice! Everything was top notch! There are lots of local activities to keep you busy if you can pull yourself away from the spectacular view.

LithuaniaAll the gifts are fantastic, however I would expect a higher quality coffee machine (maybe good for Americans who don’t know good coffee, but not the Europeans ;)). Also some fruits would have been nice. But all good, we brought our own. There is a grocery store nearby in Santa Elena.
Absolutely fantastic. The sunset views in a hot tub with sparkling wine and the sounds of birds - memories will last forever. The bed and pillows are extremely comfortable. Showers amazing with nature around. Appreciated the breakfast set. Very glad we chose this place to start our holidays. Well done and kudos to the owners!

United KingdomWe absolutely loved the place. The Tiny house is modern and has everything you might want including a hot tub and a fire place. The views from the observation platform are incredible. The hosts were really friendly and have thought of every to the smallest detail. They even left us fresh eggs, milk and juice, coke and beer and a bottle of bubbly which was a welcome surprise. Highly recommend the Amalu resort.

Everything was perfect. I didn't expect it to be this wondeful. Our tiny house wasn't tiny :) and it was spacious and comfortable. Every detail was taken care of, even breakfast products waiting for us in the fridge (reservation was without breakfast) and a bottle of good sparkling wine. I will definitely recommend this hotel to others. Thank you!

CanadaThe wind overnight was something else. They did provide ear plugs, which was the saving grace as we got some sleep once we found them.
This place is a hidden gem. We were blown away by the details and the view. The hosts went above and beyond to make our stay memorable.

CanadaThe road getting there was a little hike but once we had it figured out it was good! The light in the backyard was a bit bright during the night from the loft but we were given eye masks for the night so that was a nice touch!
This property was stunning, as soon as we got there and walked down the pathway to our house we were blown away by how nice it was and the view. The welcome gift and items for breakfast were appreciated so much. Beds and sheets were comfortable, house was so clean and modern. Loved the record player, turned that on and poured ourselves a drink to celebrate as soon as we got there while taking in the views.

United StatesThe property is on the far northwest of all attractions that are in the Monteverde area. You must drive or take a taxi to go to the closest restaurant. The hill leading to the hotel is steep and poorly lit and doesn’t seem safe for walking, but we did see a few locals walking the hill during daylight. Having said that, we never had to wait more than 15 minutes after calling a taxi.
Our family of four including two teenagers stayed in the A-frame house. There are different houses located on the property, but they are arranged so that you feel you have the whole hillside to yourself. From the deck of the A-frame you have sweeping views of the hills below and the Gulf of Nicoya in the distance. I enjoyed some of the best sunsets I’ve ever seen from the property’s observation deck. The house itself came with plenty of high quality towels and bathrobes, and unexpected freebies in the kitchen: champagne, wine, beer, soft drinks, chocolate, a smore kit, juice, butter, and eggs in the fridge and more. The staff is friendly, informative, accessible, and helped us arrange taxi rides into town.
