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.).

SwitzerlandNothing, it was perfect.
Casa Marcellino is a peaceful oasis in the beautiful town of Cahuita. The most beautiful tropical garden where you can observe lots of birds and some other wildlife. The cabinas are spacious, clean and very comfortable. The lodge has an excellent location close to playa negra and the town centre. Luciano was very welcoming and accommodating. He gave us a map of Cahuita and explained to us where everything was. We truly had the best time and would love to come back. Our only regret is to not have stayed longer!

CanadaEverything was perfect, absolutely no complaints!
The property has been beautifully landscaped and is so well taken care of. Gorgeous shrubs and trees that are well established and flowering all the time. It was quiet and felt so safe and secure. The owners are so friendly, and greeted us with fresh coconuts. All the staff are warm and kind, the gardener and housekeepers were so happy and full of smiles. Every time our cabin was cleaned housekeeping would put fresh flowers around our cabin, and it was such a wonderful touch. So close (3 minutes) to two beaches and restaurants, and a short walk into the cute little town.

United StatesGreat location- close enough to town but far away from the bars/noise, etc. Playa Negra only 200 meters away. Quiet, serene, and beautiful grounds. Owners are very friendly and helpful. They kindly welcomed us when we arrived and saw us off upon departure. They were always available and attentive to our needs, questions, etc. Housekeeper is a sweetheart. Good sized room, spacious outdoor deck, all very comfortable and clean. Fully stocked full kitchen was perfect for us and our needs.

The location couldn’t be better, is just a few steps from the beach but secluded enough to be calm and silent.

The room was spotlessly clean and beautifully presented with flowers placed all around the apartment. Marice and her staff made us feel so welcome and went out of their way to help if they were asked anything. They even helped us find somewhere that would replace a tyre on our rental vehicle. The beautiful beach is just a short stroll down a narrow road. The grounds had loads of birds and wild life that we could view from our balcony. I would love to stay here again.

United StatesAbsolutely great reception upon arrival, especially considering the later than usual time. While the location was not ideal for the circumstances of the day for our family, its proximity to the beach was ideal. The property was very secure, clean, accommodating and inviting. Check in and check out was simple and as quoted. Overall, would recommend to others and would return if visiting the area.

The house is very close to the beach, if you want only to swim, you don't have to settle down there just walk 50 meters, swim and come back to the beautiful garden. Yes, the house has very nice garden, with lots of birds and aguties in the morning. By the way there are bars and few resaurants in the nearby.

Costa RicaThe main areas might be a little tight if you have a larger group.
I have stayed at Casa Marcellino many times, as a local Costa Rican I can say it always feels like a home away from home. The houses have everything you need and the owners are lovely. The gardens are beautiful and location is walking distance from the beach and really close to the center of town, but far enough that you have complete peace. They are pet friendly and always treat my dogs with love.
