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 KingdomThe shower was very difficult, it was either too hot (dangerously so) or freezing.
The room was very comfortable and the spa bath was a great addition. The view from the terrace was incredible and the addition of a day bed was great. The grounds around are well kept and we saw lots of birds and wildlife. It was only a few minutes from La Fortuna, but in a lovely quiet location

United StatesWas given the wrong code to the room initially, but that was resolved very quickly.
Room was exactly as pictured. Clear, full view of Arenal volcano. Hot tub in excellent working condition with hot running water. Other reviews mentioned a smell from the tub, which we did not experience. The tub did fill slowly, about 20 minutes, but it is quite a large tub so we didn't mind. Saw a macaw every day outside our room. Close to downtown (8 mins by car) without being right in the hustle and bustle. Quiet, hardly ran into other guests.

BelgiumThe airconditioning was leaking in the bungalow and the toilet stopped flushing, but after we reported it to the reception, it got fixed quickly and everything worked fine afterwards. The biggest turnoff on our stay was when we had dinner at the hotels restaurant in the evening, the cook was singing very loud with loud music, kind of a rock style, like linkin park, which was quite disturbing if you wanted to have a cozy dinner. He acted a bit crazy, like a teenager. Which was not so professional. Too bad cause the setting was nice, and the food was good.
The breakfast was very good, you could choose between 2 kinds of breakfast, an you got served a large amount of food. , The location was very nice, room had a great view on arenal vulcano and had a nice garden, also nice was the jacuzzi in the room and wine glasses available in the room. The girl at the reception was very friendly and helpfull.

United StatesI was hopeful for more fauna, but that's unreasonable. The landscaping was beautiful and the birding on the property was quite good. This is a nice place.
Really nice place. I was concerned it was too far away from the town, but it is really 2km down a couple of backroads and then less than 1km down the main road to town. The property is beautiful and the rooms were as advertised. They seem to each face the volcano with a great view on the patio. The wifi was more or less pretty good. I did some work and took a couple of zoom calls. Only on 1 afternoon was it suspect, otherwise I was getting 8 mpbs or more download speed. The room had AC which worked great and a rainfall shower with hot water which was nice.

United StatesThe only thing I would say that wasn’t terrible but the beds were pretty hard and there was no blanket or comforter on the bed only a sheet. Also the reception desk attendant seemed a little flustered or maybe just not real friendly or attentive. Just didn’t seem as accommodating as the other three hotels we stayed at.
The property was close enough to town to walk if you are up to it. There were a few dogs on the road but we did not encounter any mean ones. The grounds are a tropical plant and bird paradise. Nice little walking trail on the property. The patio had very cute seating and a little outdoor couch/bed. The volcano view is beautiful if not raining or cloudy. We could not see it from our room unfortunately due to weather. The air conditioning worked great. The hot tub in the room was amazing. Nice touch of a little tray of jasmine soap/bubbles for it. Rain head shower and nice little coffee and fridge area.

United StatesI gave it 8 stars because they advertise a king size bed and it’s a Queen with a King headboard. There isn’t much lighting in the bathroom and the light bar wasn’t working, no other rooms available and it couldn’t be fixed. A slight inconvenience and they did comp us with bottle of wine. Septic system needed to be pumped right outside our door during our stay which produced a lot of noise, amongst other things.
Nice property with a beautiful view of the volcano right from our patio. Spacious room with a great whirlpool tub. Restaurant on site with friendly and accommodating staff.

GermanyThe room overall was not well maintained. The interior was old and outdated. The drain in the shower was really slow. The curtain was dirty. The area with the refrigerator was a bit disgusting. A lot of stains on the walls. The tablets for eating in the bed had still jam or something like this on it. The decorations was just really cheap stuff. Better have nothing than plastic plants... The pictures on the wall where skew. So this would be an easy fix... But there an not into these little details. I really don't know how they got so many good reviews.
The area with the view to the Volcano was amazing. Exactly as in the pictures.
