Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

HungaryThey had the reggae music going on beyond 10p. We had a room in the back and we did not even hear it. Later we had the front apartman and our friend in the front room had to use her noise canceling headphones to sleep.
The location is best in Samara - right on the beach and away from the center.

United StatesThey do not offer parking. Parking is on the street, and is first come. The driveway road is narrow and bumpy. Small details, like the toilet paper holder was broken in our bathroom and the latch on the door was not great either. No outlet for a hair dryer in the bathroom and no outlet located close to a mirror. I had to dry my hair in the hallway stretching the cord across to see in the mirror. No mirrors in either bedroom.
We were fortunate enough to book room 12, which was the only room with a balcony and view of the ocean. We would not have enjoyed any other room, as no others had a view. The staff was outstanding, friendly and professional. The breakfast included with the room was excellent!! The restaurant seating and bar service right on the beach was a big plus. Happy hour and drinks in general were great. The colony of dogs roaming the beach was fun to experience, especially the call of the wild that the alpha dog made in the morning, to gather his pals. Overall, a great experience for us.

United StatesThe rooms are not necessarily fancy, but they are not bad either. The hotel is a little tricky to find and the parking is 'street parking'. But these are small trade offs for a truly great place.
This place is amazing! The location is unbeatable. The amenities are nothing fancy, but they get the job done and it's totally worth it for the price. The rooms have hot water and are very clean. Being able to walk out directly on to the beach is very cool. And the food and restaurant staff are both great! Can't wait to go back.

United StatesThe restaurant and bar can be pretty loud until around 1030 or 11pm. NOT A COMPLAINT. It didn't bother my wife or I at all but just just a warning to others that might go to bed early. Again. This place was perfect in every way. BOOK IT.
We loved absolutely everything about this place. The beach was 30 feet from our front door (2bedroom apmt) and the hotel/restaurant staff were so nice and made the stay just perfect. The free breakfast was amazing and the restaurant's food for lunch and dinner was some of the best we've had in Costa Rica 😊 Samara Beach and especially Bahia will truly always have a special place in our hearts. We will absolutely be back and will stay at Bahia every time. It was truly perfect. Truly Pura Vida.

CanadaThe room was booked for two persons and two beds - the second bed pull-out couch was not set-up and no bedding. We were too exhausted to make the situation perfect. Definitely not as the picture was presented.
The property, accommodations and the people were excellent. Also appreciated the transportation arrangements from the Liberia Airport to the Bahia. We were grateful to have a meal and drinks after a very long day of travel. Will be back some day! Thank You!

GermanyIf you would like to forget about everyday life close to the beach, listening to the sound of the waves, then Bahia Beachfront is the perfect place to stay. The owners together with one of the most caring team of staff that we have ever seen created a unique atmosphere where you will feel both on vacation and at home at the same time. The food is generally amazing! We loved the rich and tasty breakfast and the lovely staff was always accomodating my husband's vegan lifestyle. Waking up in front of the sea every morning was one of the most amazing experiences. The both vibrating and relaxing town of Sámara is just a 5-10 minutes walk away at the beach, where you can play beach volleyball, go surfing, have a nice smoothie or delicious meal. At night you can also enjoy the beautiful terrace and tasty drinks and food at the hotel's restaurant. We were sad to leave this truly unique pearl at the beach and will surely be back in the future!
