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 Statesbare necessities and by that I mean 2 body towels and no hand towels and no washcloth. bed hard as a rock. yeah, super firm. the pillows are nice and fluffy though. they also had a bunch of odd information about coming and going as it relates to entry into the building that I’ve never encountered before but very helpful had I been out past 11. it is kind of loud on the streets cars nonstop. i swear that bathroom sink only runs cold water so you sensitive teeth peeps be aware.
it is very cute quaint simple , with the bare necessities but had some unique features like the bamboo roof in the bada room. it also has beautiful views of the mountains and stadium. the staff here is exceptional and very friendly and helpful and the food was simply amazing. it’s really quiet too on the inside. i love all the windows and the views. the bada room has a clothes rack with hangers which is really thoughtful.

Costa RicaThe room was adequate, and was about how I would expect for the price. I did notice what appeared to be mold in a corner of the ceiling, but the rest of the room was very clean.
The location is great- I always try to stay near the Sabana. The hotel was accommodating to store our stuff for us before the room was ready, and was able to get us in earlier than planned. The room is clean and and simple, fine for a quick stay. We did not get to take advantage of the included breakfast as we had an early leave time.

United StatesThe small bathroom does not have a hanger for towels or a shelf for toiletries and the water is only luke warm at best. The busy highway is noisy all day and night until about 2am-4am.
I have stayed here twice as a landing spot after a flight. It is right across the street from a very large beautiful park with many walking trails and playing fields and an easy walk to the Art Museum and just down the road from the many other museums. I appreciate the restaurant on site which serves Japanese and Korean dinners and a very nice complimentary typical breakfast. The room is basic with few amenities, but clean and good for the price.

BangladeshIt is a strange place. It is above a restaurant, and the only entrance/exit is through the restaurant door. They lock the restaurant door when the restaurant is closed at nighttime. That means if you are looking to exit the building, you have to ring a bell for someone to come disarm an alarm and unlock the door. This was super awkward doing this at 3am when we had to leave to get a taxi for the airport, and this wasn't communicated to us at all. I'm not sure how you get in if you are trying to enter the hotel after the door is locked. Our room was right next to the stairwell and it was very loud. There is a creaky door that is opened and closed by other guests going up the stairs located right outside the front of the bed.
It is located right across the street from La Sabana Park and is in a very walkable area. When we ordered food from the restaurant below us, they delivered our food to our room.

Costa RicaNo elevator can wear you out to get to second floor. No direct access from the parking to the interior of hotel. Expect to wait a while for your dinner, though it was delicious!
Breakfast with no limit and very nice variety was great! Lots of windows gave awesome view from the second floor room. Delicious Asian food on the first floor was available for Dinner! It was clean, room smelled fresh. Inside is much better then the outside appearance.

United StatesBeing locked in, there was no way in or out without the assistance of one of the staff. They keep the door locked, except for when their restaurant is open in the evenings. You have to request them to open the door and that requires them to come to the door and unlock it with a key. A very unsafe and dated system. Very noisy room overlooking the Av. de las Americas, a lot of traffic noise. The room is not soundproof at all.
Clean. Good breakfast. Communal kitchen. A microwave and refrigerator available in a communal area on each floor. Secure parking. Safe area. Within walking distance of a good variety of restaurants.
