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...).

GermanyThe staff was awesome. Very nice and friendly, always available and happy with a smile. They really made sure that everything is very clean. The pool was cleaned every morning and this was perfect for us and the kids. Breakfast was always good and enough. The room had a roof and 3 beds + bathroom with warm water. Thats it. Everything was well secured against Mosquitos which was nice. Wlan was good and stable.

United KingdomYou can definitely get better breakfast and coffee in the village so you might want to consider booking without breakfast as it's quite expensive for what you get. Be prepared that there is no Aircon so the room can get extremely hot.
The location is nice as it's close to the beach and national park so you can hear all the wild life. Staff were friendly and the breakfast was ok. The size of the room was also good and overall it was a simple but nice place.

United KingdomAir con would be a bonus, but the fans allowed a good night's sleep. Reinstating kitchen facilities would be good (I think these were removed since we booked).
Nice peaceful guesthouse a short walk from the village. Swimming pool gave a welcome break from the heat. Breakfast was very good ($7 pp). We were met at the boat by a representative of the guesthouse. They explained about tour options (same price as elsewhere) and were very helpful with online purchase of national park tickets.

United KingdomI'm not a fussy person really, so it was all good.
I did not think I would use the pool, but it was great for cooling off. The staff were all very approachable and helpful. The location was superb at the edge of the jungle. Howler monkeys put on a spectacular show. Breakfast was really good. The guides associated with the hotel were great also. (Augusto, Bernie).

United KingdomBecause it rains so much the pathways to the hotel gets flooded. if you have any disabilities you should contact the hotel and find out what your options are. There are no cars or busses in tortuguero. I did see a quadbike and a couple of motorcycles but favourite mode of transport is Bicycle or boat.
intimate hotel rooms close to each other shared kitchen. Staff very helpful I needed a blanket and they found me one. pool is small. They will tell you Its not safe to go in the sea .People were going in the sea. Rains a lot at night but daytime was fine. you wake up early to the sounds of the jungle and the local cockerel.

United StatesThere was quite a lot of construction going on but we understand that they are trying to improve the site. The improvements should be nice once they are done.
It is located at the boundary of the national park so we were able to see quite a lot of wildlife, spider monkeys, macaws, toucans, etc. There have been jaguars seen as well but we weren't lucky enough to see one.

GermanyThe electricity was somewhat unstable, also the warm water in the shower was a little on/off during our stay. However the staff was busy trying to fix it and it did rain cats and dogs which didn’t make it any easier for them. Small minus is also the neighbors rooster which on our second morning very persistently tried to wake us up as of 5 in the morning.
Staff was helpful and easy going. The location is in a quiet corner of the village but still everything is reachable within 10 minutes. We spotted both monkeys and a toucan from our porch. They sell beer and offer a laundry service as an extra plus.

This place is so lovely, the staff is so friendly and it is clean. The pool is small, but nice for cooling down. There is a kitchen with a fridge, so you can make your own breakfast and other meals. They did our laundry for 5000 Colones. It’s not unsafe to walk to restaurants during the night, as is written somewhere else. It was great that in La Pavona we were already on a list and someone helped us there immediately with the boat tickets, getting on the boat and arranging our tours. In Tortuguero there was someone else who took us to the hotel. Everything very well arranged. Everyday they are folding your new towel in a different way, mostly animals. While in the pool you can see monkeys, parrots, etc.
