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.).

It is well located near the beach. Host works with local tour company and it’s super easy to arrange activities. Everything was fluent. WiFi speed was quite good if you compare to other locations in Costa Rica, although sometimes it was off. I guess thats why there are two WiFi networks available 😀

United KingdomThe room was very dark, so felt a bit gloomy. But I knew it was going to be very basic. It was hard to keep mud/dirt from outside from going into the room, so I was sweeping up alot! There wasn't much communication from the owners, so I didn't really know what to do upon check-out.
Location was right on the beach, so was wonderful to be able to see and hear the waves. The local cats were very friendly!

FranceDescription listed coffee machine and clothes rack, but room had neither. A few of the electrical sockets did not work. Only 1 cup and saucer (plus 2 glasses). Nowhere to put/hang clothes. A few simple hooks would help.
Idyllic location facing the ocean. Close to everything but quiet and relaxing. Managers very responsive.

United KingdomThe only thing I can think of is that perhaps the pillows are a bit hard? And the freezer struggled to keep our ice cream frozen, just small things...
Very spacious room with all the equipment to self cater. The bed was comfy and loved the option to hang out in the hammock outside listen to the waves crashing! The staff was very helpful and they have some amazing guides that they work with (especially Kevin went out of his way to organise a tour for us). Good value for money.

United KingdomAfter arriving we were told that the villa wasn’t actually available for our first night and we were put up in a very poor, substandard room down the road. We didn’t pay for this !!!! We checked in on our 2nd day! The shower/shower head needs improving and some more outside furniture would be nice.
It’s superb location, right on the beach. Great aircon, lovely inside space…plenty of room and kitchen facilities ok.

United StatesThe apartment could use some sprucing up. It was clean but it's age is showing. Despite this, I would stay again considering the other pricy alternatives.
The location steps away from the Caribbean is unbeatable for the price. A short walk from the center of the village. It was also nice that the people at the La Pavona dock knew were coming and that we were greated once we arrived in Tortuguero.

CanadaWe would have felt a little more comfortable if security was higher, especially for the living room window. It’s a bit of a dark walk from the town to the house after 6pm. It might be a little nerve-wracking for a person alone. Could have used better pillows too.
We’re glad to have had the experience of staying right on the water. The location is very calming and beautiful. The house was clean and well-equipped. We appreciated having the air conditioner in the bedroom for overnight. The rest of the time we enjoyed the lovely breeze coming from the water. It was nice to be able to walk around town.

United StatesNothing really bad but just not a great place overall. There were definitely a lot of places in the area that looked like better quality for the price. There was no one to meet us at the boat dock and the town is a bit of a rabbit warren so we had a hard time finding the place. There was no paved walkway to the hotel, which was mostly fine until it rained.
As advertised, this accommodation was right on the beach and close to all amenities and tours.

United KingdomThe Casa was not very clean when we arrived. The sheets and towels were clean but the rest of the apartment was dusty and generally unclean. The kitchen utensils weren't clean, a broken glass and we had no knives to use. I asked the cleaning lady if we could have knives and the answer was, sorry no knives! Luckily we had spoons and forks! There was also no blender which would have been great. The fridge freezer worked but all compartments inside were either broken or missing which made storage difficult. Mauricio met us on arrival and helped us book a kayak tour which was great! Highly recommend this tour and we an oars length from crocodiles and caymans! We would stay again but would like it alot cleaner please.
The location was fantastic on the beach and in walking distance of the village and national park. Internet connection was good. Apartment was bigger than expected. We liked having hammocks for relaxing on the patio.

CanadaThere was absolutely nothing to dislike about this property.
As close as you can get to the beach in a five minute walk to Main Street. There are two apartments in this house. The big room has a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable living room. The smaller room just had a bed and a washroom. Both were very spacious and very very clean. The owner responded to all inquiries within minutes. very helpful with any questions we had aboutthe area.

United KingdomOne air-conditioning in the bedroom. Not sure if it didn't work or we didn't know how to make it work, but it didn't cool down the room. There is a very strong mold smell in the air. The sofa had mold all over it and the microwave hadn't been cleaned for a while.
The place is in front of the beach. Foot in the sand, and although it is not possible to swim in the sea, you can still get your ankles wet. It is also nice walking on the sand and even in the national park, next to the beach.
