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.).

United KingdomNothing!
We absolutely loved our stay at La Pradera. It's a gorgeous place run by a lovely family, who were all incredibly welcoming and helpful. They booked taxis for us, recommended some fantastic restaurants and helped us to arrange tours and a shuttle for our onward travel. Our kids loved doing the trail around the property, accompanied by the family's very friendly dogs! The maze is brilliant as well, and there's a playground nearby, and a mini market opposite which had everything we needed. There's so much wildlife - we saw agouti outside our window, lizards and so many birds. Monteverde is cooler than other places in Costa Rica, so the pool was a little cold, but my daughter still enjoyed having a dip. We would definitely return to this very special place.

United StatesThe grounds and trails are wonderful, saw so much out the kitchen window, something different every day. Love Captain and Hercules my dog Kita just loved them both and also any other dog from the neighborhood. So refreshing after coming from our place where it has been really hot. Mattress could use a update was not very comfortable. We will go back again to get away from the heat here.

GermanyA little further from the main road than expected. Quite bumpy road to get there, but manageable with a 4x4. Would recommend one year round, not just during the rainy season.
Lovely view, very spacious.

United StatesOur Casita was too close to the road. Next time I'd ask for one further in.
The grounds were beautiful. We did a nice walk through the grounds and had a dog come up to show us the way around. The casita was clean. And it was an easy, though a large hill, walk to town.

CanadaThe kitchen area could use a few more hooks or towel bars to hang up towels and the kitchen supplies were limited. We were able to make it all work though.
The bungalow is on a private nature reserve with pathways to explore and view the plants and birds. Lovely view from our patio . Tony helped me evaluate the Spanish language junk messages on my phone and helped us get laundry service. I liked that we had a broom and pan in order to keep our floor tidy. The refrigerator worked as did the hotplate and coffee maker. It was also very nice to have a separate bedroom rather than one big room.

United StatesNice location close to attractions, but quiet. Staff was quick to respond and very accommodating when both my dad and I had work situations come up. I ended up taking a job interview and they set me up in a quiet spot and even brought me water during the interview. My dad had to record a podcast and they did the same, even though we’d already checked out. If we hadn’t had a flight out the next day, we would have stayed longer

United StatesStaying here was fantastic! The property is beautiful. My bed was comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. I saw many interesting animals while sitting on my veranda. A sloth and her baby were sleeping in the trees behind my cabana! There's a lovely little grocery across the street. I could walk to town if I needed to. Tony and his family were so helpful and supportive. I will recommend staying here to everyone who goes to Costa Rica!
