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.).

NetherlandsExpensive. Tours are disappointing for the price. We booked sloth tour at 4pm. When we got there there was no guide so told to go alone, which we did. The place literally closed with us in there and sloths were taken away at 4 15. So make sure to go there earlier...just walked down. It is really set up for people who don't want to do anything independently ( which is fine ) and great for families. I asked for hike routes and was initially told ' go here it is the easy one ' once I explained I didn't want easy they were helpful but I think the hiking etc should be more widely promoted to give more options than just sitting by the pool or paying for a tour. Bit of a money making place.
Obviously it's in a great location. Breakfast was good. Rooms are very spacious and comfortable.

United KingdomThis hotel would benefit from some TLC. It is fairly dated and unloved. The food options are limited, and the buffet especially, very overpriced considering the options and quality available.

United StatesI paid extra for a Water view, which I did not get. I asked to move to a different room which they did after waiting several hours. The new room had broken air conditioning which they attempted to fix, but did not repair. also, they were redoing the swimming pool deck, and there were only a handful of chairs available for all of the guests at the entire hotel.
The location was amazing!

United StatesNothing - in fact, we would have stayed an extra day just to enjoy the hotel if I knew how we were going to enjoy it.
Amazing view from our room balcony and from the hotel public areas. Amazing sunrise and sunsets - enjoyed the sounds of the jungle around us, particularly the howler monkeys. Great hammock included on balcony. Very fun, attractive, refreshing swimming pool. Surprisingly delicious buffet dining - breakfast, lunch and dinner. Excursions offered right in lobby were very interesting and worthwhile.

United KingdomOnly 6 sun loungers for the whole resort. I booked a 5 night stay and didn’t manage to get one, even resorted to sitting on a wall a couple of days to get some sun. Be warned they hold functions so it can be very lively - not tranquil or relaxing. Limited service on Mondays. Expensive for what you get. Amenities are poorly explained.

United Statesit’s not well maintained. it’s in disrepair, dirty, and the food and service are terrible. we made multiple reservations for activities where they would fail to write down our reservation or explain what we needed to do to follow up on the reservation (don’t understand why we would need to follow up, if you make a reservation you should be able to show up at the right time and participate). we would show up at the time and then be pulled aside, humiliated and disrespected.
the rainforest is beautiful. the bed was comfortable. the air conditioning worked. you can tell that is once was beautiful.

PanamaBad service, despite previously communicating the intention to cancel a reservation they didn’t refund the money (they said they will). Also confirmed (after I received the fee from booking in my credit card), called back the hotel, they say they will look into the case and see how they could “help me out”, almost 2 months have gone by and still haven’t receive an answer, nor my money or part of the money.

United KingdomNot much at all. Normally I moan about staff when I review this resort but this time, they were fantastic
When we checked in, the place was very quiet and we were chatting nicely with the receptionist and as we arrived early our room wasn't ready. But after a few mins talking, she said its now ready and they upgraded us to a suite! We come to this resort often, even though I normally moan about the service but this time it was fantastic. We also did the night drive and because the hotel was nearly empty, we got an hour free night safari rather than 30mins. Great stay.

MexicoThis resort is old and definitely needs some work - room updates and amenities-wise. For the price point, I was expecting a much higher quality room as well as food options and accessibility to activities. You will spend some extra money, the food is expensive and mediocre, then all the activities cost quite a bit. I was told there was no hiking around by their staff and I would need to pay to hire a guide two days in advance - but there were public hiking trails just minutes down that road. I would not stay again. Do a day trip from the city if you want to visit.
The view was breathtaking!
