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 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 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 StatesA bit secluded and far from town and further from La Fortuna than expected
I can't rate this enough!! If you need a place to stay, come here. Marce and Fabio were the best hosts ever. The property is so beautiful and we were instantly greeted upon arrival after Marce personally arranged a taxi for us from downtown. They cooked us the most delicious dinner both nights we were there. The day after we checked in we were looking for something to go do. Marce and Fabio sent me all the bus times and gave me recommendations on where to go. The first place we went was a great restaurant with a giant property in the back with trails and a river. Our hosts personally called the restaurant owner so he was expecting us and took us on a little walk to see some sloths. Second place was an amazing sloth tour at a rescue center that helps animals that have been run over or electrocuted. Our hosts weber way above and beyond and it was a great memory that I'll cherish

United StatesNone!
We loved our stay at Birds and Breakfast! It felt like staying at your Costa Rican family friend's place - familiar, comfortable and not touristy / commercial. We booked a night walk tour with our host and loved it - he was so knowledgeable and showed us two sloths with their babies, red eyed tree frogs and many more animals that we wouldn't have been able to see on our own. Breakfast at this B&B was also spectacular - homemade breakfast everyday with a view of the many birds flying into the garden was something we'll remember. We even saw toucans from the garden! Location-wise, we debated staying in La Fortuna vs. here but I'm so glad we stayed here instead. La Fortuna is extremely touristy, commercial and stressful. This location is right next to the Eternal children's rainforest, which is equally great for hiking and wildlife but much less crowded than the alternatives near La Fortuna and very calm.

AustriaThere was nothing we didn‘t like. There are two friendly dogs - just do you know. Driving up should be done by a 4 by 4 car. We managed to do it with a 2 by 4 but we really struggled.
The owners have been friendly and super helpful & accomodating. The kitchen was free to use and well equipped. The garden was just beautiful and a good place to watch all kinds of birds. The hotel is up a hill in the middle of the rainforest which is lovely. This was the perfect start to out trip in costa rica! Thank you so much!

SwitzerlandNo mosquito net over the bed, but the hosts were very open to let us put up ours. Ticket prices to the local station feel quite steep (20$ p.p.), but on the upside you will most likely be able to enjoy nature without anybody else around.
Lovely hosts. Great breakfast on the terrace where you can spot a lot of birds, the local bird chart was a great idea! Possibility to use kitchen and fridge. Laundry Service was convenient (extra charge)

United StatesOnly the weather for our first two days, unusually cloudy and rainy but the warmth of Marcela and Fabio made up for that.
What makes Birds and Breakfast Very Special are its owners Marcela and Fabio. They treated us like loving family. I cannot say enough about their graciousness and hospitality. They went totally above and beyond our wildest expectations. They fully recognized that we two Floridians (me at 83 & my SO at 71) were not physically up to hiking those steep trails so they made up for it with other activities that we could comfortably handle. While birds are their focus and we saw/photographed many we also saw sloths and various animals and got to sample their local food extensively.

Marcella and Fabio made our stay memorable, and gave us super useful information about the surroundings and how to explore Chidren's eternal rainforest reserve. I'd recommend to stay as long as possible, as this place is magical, full of peace, calm. Birdwatching (and Sloth watching!) during the breakfast time is something you'll never forget.

United StatesBreakfast was excellent. The hosts went above and beyond to ensure my family had a great experience. I would 💯 go back again and stay at Beds and Breakfast. The only reason I wouldn’t give the place 10/10 is because the mattress in my room was too hard and hurt my lower back. But my husband and the other couple who traveled with us didn’t have any issues with the mattress. So it could a preference thing. Anyways, I really did enjoy my stay.
