Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

United States of AmericaWiFi never worked in our unit. It worked closer to the main check in and restaurant. Our mobile signal did not work in our hotel room either but I can't blame the hotel for that.
We stayed in bungalow #3. It was fantastic! We are 2 adults and 3 children. I believe it was the largest building in the complex. It came with a little kitchen. We liked the space and beds. It was very spacious and well decorated. It was came with a mini fridge. Staff were friendly. The grounds were beautiful. We took the frog night tour and saw plenty of wildlife. Highly recommend this hotel.

United KingdomStaff helped us book some wildlife watching walking tours (which were really good). Wildlife on site was phenomenal. Lovely walks around the site with plenty of places to sit and watch the wildlife and birds. Close enough to town to go out for dinner. Sleeping in a jungle.. an experience in itself.

SwitzerlandI love the location about 5-10 min car ride to the center. So away from the busy town and in the middle of the jungle. There is a small trail you can walk by yourself around the lodge. You need definitely a car. Breakfast is okay too.

United KingdomNo tea or coffee in the room.
The forest surround with howler monkeys and numerous birds made this an exceptional location. It wasn't always quiet ( because of the cicades and monkeys and birds in the morning,) but it was magical seeing the lightening bugs. Eating breakfast and dinner in the restaurant was a treat, overlooking the birds feeding on fruit. I have lots of photos of elephants and swans too... made from towels by the kind cleaning ladies.

United States of AmericaNothing, everything was great. Would highly recommend.
What a charming resort/nature preserve in a very good location within La Fortuna area. The restaurant was fabulous and the free breakfast was top notch. The attached nature walk area was great. The staff helped guide us to the best local tours and made the reservations for us. Don't miss the Northfields Coffee/Chocolate tour. The value was very good as well.

SwitzerlandNothing that can be done about it, but some animals can be noisy at night. And it is very humid
The location, the noises of the animals, the ambiance is a bit surreal as soon as you enter the property. We spotted many monkeys and birds without leaving the front porch. The porch was also the perfect spot to read a book and enjoy all the green surrounding you. It is super quick to get anywhere if you have a car

United States of AmericaCreaking noise from the beds in cottage #9. Fan also made some noise.
You get the feeling of being inside a dense jungle, the minute you turn off the road. The sounds are just so relaxing. Staff is friendly. Breakfast was good, and staying close to the trails is nice and convenient. Cottages could be a bit farther apart may be. But for the price, can't complain.

CanadaWe loved the beautiful surroundings and how everything was so clean. People were really friendly:) we loved the restaurant and the servers. The cabin was cute but the lighting in the bathroom was really bad. The mattresses where ok and there where some opening from the logs and door where insects could enter. But overall we really liked it and would come back again:)

United States of AmericaSome repairs to the bungalow could be made, but the rustic nature of the room did not detract from the enjoyment of my stay. There are so many positives that it wasn't an issue for me, the value was great.
The staff was amazing, the grounds were beautiful and location was convenient. I know this may seem trivial, bet the water pressure in the shower was perfect. I've had stays diminished by poor showers in the past, a good shower is very important to me.
