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.).

GermanyThe bed was very comfortable and there was enough space to store luggage, even if the doors for the closet were missing. They offer refill water and free coffee. You can also use an open kitchen. The property could be a little cleaner (leaves everywhere) but it is very natural. Loved the hammock outside the room. The beach is about 10min away from the hotel and you can see so many animals around.

LatviaJust a paradize!! Really great place with feeling that you are in the midle of jungle! You can swim in the pool,you can see different animals around!!! Very nice that there is possibility to cook and that there is drinking water and coffe available! in Costa Rica, there are mostly problems with toilet pipes everywhere, so paper is not allowed in them. if you do this, or if the previous ones have done it, the water in the pot will dam up

United StatesThere was a large (like 1 gallon) coffee pot outside on a table, but it was never running with fresh coffee in the morning. It would be nice if they set it up with coffee and water the night before and maybe explain that if you are the first guest to use it, please just plug it in. So I wound up making small pots of coffee each morning in the little kitchen that is available for guests, which was fine but less convenient when waking up. Our room was totally clean otherwise, but there was a big streak of mold on the wall in the bathroom. It wasn't a big deal, this is the tropics after all, but it would be a point for improvement. For the owner, it was near the toilet right as you enter the bathroom.
Clean pool and beautiful groundskeeping. Nestled into the edge of the jungle, there are many beautiful plants and animals nearby. The room is cozy with and without AC depending on how you're feeling. The decor was pretty throughout and it felt well thought out and cozy at the same time. Be aware that this is not as close to Puerto Viejo as other destinations, but is still very close and within Tuk Tuk or bicycle range. The benefits of the jungle sounds and peacefulness were worth it.

Costa RicaThe smaller room had a bathroom that was poorly aired. This made it stinky very fast and very difficult to dry out things, in a place that is in itself quite humid.
The facilities are very nicely maintained and tasteful. The bigger family room had a very nice terrace and all rooms have hammocks. Even if not very remote, lots of wildlife around.

DenmarkSome of the garden chairs were so broken that it was nearly unusable. The refrigerator in the houses is quite noisy and since it is in rhetorical main bedroom it can be quite annoying during the night.
Located in the rainforest. We had the pleasure of getting visits from howling apes, hummingbirds, snakes and big spiders. All of them outside the house. The swimming pool was nice, clean and refreshing.

Case Merlin exceeded expectations. We were a 10 minute walk to a beautiful beach. It is right in a forest with monkeys, macaws, toucans, agoutis, hummingbirds and more all viewable from the villa. The staff were so nice and laid back and relaxed. I just wish we had stayed longer.

Costa RicaI did not like that the there were towels and bathing suits all over the lawns and all around the pool. I don’t think I got a decent picture where there wasn’t a pile of towels on the grass or next to the pool in the background. It’s too bad because the scenery is gorgeous but it looked super cluttered and messy.
The property itself was beautiful. It was surrounded by so much nature.
