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...).

Costa RicaThe food truck was advertised as open until 11pm, but I went to get food at 9:30 and was told it was no longer serving food.
The lady who greeted me at the front desk was very sweet and friendly, and understanding of my limited Spanish. The dorm I stayed in was clean and comfortable (I passed out so fast!)

United KingdomDue to location you had no other choice then to eat at the food truck on site. Its also air-conditioned so very cold.
Everything is run well. The rooms don't hold more the 2 bunks. Great value for money and the airport is right there, taxi was easy to order with a $5 pick up and drop off service that was also quick. Beds comfortable and quiet. Great Internet speed. I would recommend and use again if i need a layover.

United StatesMy room was next to the outdoor area and quite loud music was playing outside but it was off by 10:30PM. A bar of soap would've been nice for the shower.
Staff were really helpful. The food truck being right in the driveway is super convenient and the food was good. The driver Toucan recommended seemed to be trying to take advantage with price and then was 30min late to pick me up so I took an Uber instead. Would stay again if I need to be near the airport. Internet was good.

CanadaMy room was volcano 2, it was unfortunately right by the outdoor LED light which was blaring into the room and made it difficult to sleep. AC is very effective, so remember to turn it down or put it on a different setting before going to bed, I felt bad and didn’t want to disturb my bunk mate but I just want to say that it is a very good AC! 😅
It was steps away from the airport, great for red eye flight as short overnight stay. 24hrs reception, Lorena was amazing! I arrived later than anticipated as the shuttle driver didn’t show up, but Sebastian was quick to respond on WhatsApp even at 1am. Lorena was considerate and put me in a 2 bedrooms dorm instead of my booked 6 bed dorm for the trouble with the driver and not to wake others who had arrived earlier. Very thankful for her.

NamibiaI think they could do a bit more on boarding or orientation of the property. The showers were quite unique and I struggled to figure out how to get the hot water running.
The host was Excellent. She's so kind, friendly, and helpful. I arrived before check in time and because the room was ready, she allowed me to check in. She would always happily organize taxi services and she even woke me up for my airport Transfer.

CanadaOnly negative comment is that the walls are very thin, so you easily hear people in other rooms. It’s still perfect for a night when arriving in Costa or leaving !
It is near the airport. The transportation service to the hostel was easy & useful. The breakfast was super good. The staff was super nice. They helped me a lot cause I had problems with my shuttle.

CanadaThe bathrooms were small but you could change in the shower rooms instead which were large.
This was the perfect hostel to start off my trip to Costa Rica at! The staff were very friendly and helpful, it was very well organized, the rooms were comfortable, the showers were fantastic and it was super close to the airport, only a $5 taxi ride. The desk also asked if I wanted them to call me a taxi when I was leaving. I think I’ll book it again when I go back to the airport.
