Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

United KingdomI forgot my laptop charger in the room, when asking staff a few hours after departure they said they were unable to find this. Very baffling - if you forget something don't count on getting it back.
Perfect just to spend the night ahead of adventuring out

IrelandI had a bad experience with the airport shuttle that the hotel recommended. They send out an automated what's app recommending 'Sameul' for taxi service to and from airport. I was left stranded at 5am on the way to the airport when the driver couldn't take card. I had already told the company I had no cash. It was really unfair to the driver who was not at fault and upon ringing his boss he was very rude to both me and his driver. Just get Uber!! Even if you do have cash to pay I would avoid out of principle. Other than that, the room was a small bit hot and the extra fan provided was loud. Ok for one night.
Basic facilities, close to the airport and friendly staff.

NetherlandsWould not stay here for multiple days, as there is not a lot to do around.
Perfect stay for, for example, spending last few hours in Costa Rica before heading to the airport. Big rooms, beautiful swimming pool area, and beautiful surrounding garden. Definitely recommend for a one-night stay.

BrazilThe owner was not so friendly, but Emilio gave us all the informations that we needed. The breakfast is poor.
There isn't an air conditioner, but it's not hot, so fine. Two people in a room for four, so the size was very comfortable for us. The quality of the bed linen are not good, but to spend one or two days was OK.

GermanyThere were two cockroaches in our first room. The lady kindly gave us a new even bigger room, there were no animals.
Very kind and understanding staff. They served us freshly made breakfast (eggs and fruits) at the time we asked for (breakfast is usually served between 7 am and 9 am but we still got breakfast at 11 am). Our whole laundry was washed and dried for 5000 colones. Be careful, taxi drivers will charge you way too much. 1000-2000 colones is a fair price from the airport to the hotel, not more!

United StatesPer other's comments, the room did not have the best airflow and the room was a bit stuffy. My room faced a rising sun and the thin curtain did little to prevent me from being waken at sunrise.
A good value stay close to the airport in the central part of Alajuela. Staff was very nice and extremely helpful. Continental breakfast was fine. Found the hostel to be very clean. Excellent wifi and they brought a chair and desk to my room so I could work remotely.
