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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

AustraliaThe fan is very loud, but that did also drown out any random street noises so it was ok. Plus it blew away the 1 mosquito that managed to to get into the room.
It was close to the airport but far enough away to not hear the planes at night. Lovely and helpful hosts. Good breakfast. Private bathroom.

The location was ideal, because it´s only like 5 km away from the airport. The overall attention and service was amazing. The very best, the hospitability from both Patricia and Alexander since the moment you arrive and untill the very best second. I felt at home. Totally recommended from my end.

United StatesPatricia and Alexander are wonderful hosts! They went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our vacation. The breakfasts were excellent. They were the best meals we had in Costa Rica, and that includes eating at the La Paz Waterfall Gardens restaurant. I highly recommend Alexander B&B!

CanadaThere's nothing i disliked.
It's so close to the airport, it's really nice and clean and Patricia is such a sweetheart she accommodated us so well even tho we booked last minute because we needed a place to stay before our flight. Its close to a lot of food places as well so we are able to get dinner, and the area is a good area.

GermanyThe area doesn't seem Like the safest to Walk around after dark (got catcalled on the way Back from the Supermarket by some shady dudes), and the local Restaurant around the Corner didnt really have any Options For vegetarians (they did try and make a salad Out of the 3 Things vegetarian they Had though,which was nice). So It wasnt too easy to find a good Dinner around.
Very Clean, spacious and comfortable room. Patrizia explained everything we needed and Alexander,her husband, gave us a ride to our Shuttlebus early the next morning (6$), breakfast was very good too, even though we Had to get Up at 4.30, they still Made eggs and Toast and Coffee For us. Very nice! Good For the First or Last night of your travels.

United StatesThe only thing that could have been better for me is if I could have figured out how to operate the hot water in the shower. Because it is located in a residential area without a lot of options for dining and entertainment, those who do not have a car probably would not like it for a stay of more than one night.
The location is close to the airport. The staff is very pleasant and helpful. I enjoyed the Costa Rican breakfast and especially enjoyed sitting outside of my room and watching the hummingbirds take turns at the feeder.

United StatesWe loved this little Bed And Breakfast near the airport. The owners were super welcoming, picked us up at the airport when we arrived around 9 pm, chatted with us about Costa Rica, and provided a tasty local breakfast in the morning. We’ll definitely be staying here again the next time we’re in San Jose!

AustraliaWe needed a place to stay and relax from about 5pm to 11pm before our flight at 1am. This was perfect for that. Patricia was outside waiting for us when we arrived as it's a bit hard to find. It was quite close to the airport and within walking distance of where we rented our car so that was helpful. The room included free WIFI and a ride to the airport which was convenient (especially at that late hour).
