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 KingdomThe road to the property was pretty bad but it was rainy season. The swimming pools made our swimming costumes go a strange colour.
The location was great. Cabina was spacious and beds comfortable.

CanadaRooms are quite basic and could use a slight refresh. For a king sized bed they use two single beds and put them together. That was not comfortable. I kept telling my husband that was the continental divide! It was a big hump. It's a good hike up the hill from Montezuma town. Good challenge, but can be a dissuasion from making the trip. On location restaurant has a limited menu and more expensive than it should have been.
Beautiful grounds, with 2 pools, lounge chairs, mini restaurant. Accommodation was stand alone private bungalow, with private outdoor shower. A couple decent restaurants in walking distance if you are up for some hill walking.

United KingdomOn the reviews it talks about the restaurant and we were really looking forward to eating there. What they don’t tell you is that it’s only open half the year. Closed December to May. It was one of the reasons I booked it so very disappointed.
Lovely and quiet, away from the main town, just a short drive away. Wonderful views. Lovely pools and pool towels are provided. Comfortable bed. I loved the outdoor shower.

United KingdomNothing! I just suggested to staff to please update their website with the directions in English as the road is now paved from Cobano to Montezuma so they were inaccurate. Also, their sign was not very visible in the daytime and even less at night. We got lost and had no signal.
Loved our apartment and the balcony with a spectacular view. We had lots of privacy which we enjoyed. The staff were helpful when needed and the kitchen was pretty well equipped as we made some of our own meals, Montezuma itself was a drive away but it was nice to be in the hills and enjoying the wildlife (butterflies, birds, iguanas etc) and peace and quiet.

CanadaOur king mattress was rather hard and was two smaller mattresses put together leaving a very noticeable seam in the middle of the bed.
The view was stunning, the staff (although minimal) was friendly and helpful, the small on site restaurant was a surprise and made the most delicious food. The bathroom of our room was outdoors which does allow some bugs and salamanders into the room so if that isn’t something you can handle don’t stay here. But we loved the view of a giant plam while showering!

United StatesWe had an apartment which was farther from the pools but afforded more privacy. The kitchen area was sparsely appointed but with a good refrigerator. Non-plastic coffee cups would be an easy upgrade.
The pools were excellent with many different seating areas. The one breakfast we had was good. Service was friendly and timely. The balcony and view were wonderful.

United StatesThe particular unit I was in was nice, clean, however the water pressure in the shower was terrible. I will say this, that when I did bring it to their attention, it was looked into quickly. It was attempted once to correct and a second time. I did have water pressure by the end of the stay.
The public grounds where the pools are located, the quaint eating area, the staff were all fabulous. The sushi prepared by the chef was excellent.

United StatesThe only downside is there wasn't a great way to walk into town or the beach. We had a car so it was a quick drive, but it would have been lovely to have a walking path to town. Also, the house could have used a few more kitchen utensils.
Casitas Sollevante exceeded our expectations. The location was even more beautiful in person, there were two pools, one zero depth entry and one deeper infinity pool. The flowering plants next to the pool smelled amazing. There was a very thorough cleaning service each day which was especially nice since you could not flush toilet paper, which is common in CR, and because the floors got a little sandy from our trips to the beach. They would even wash any dishes we didn't get to. There was also an outdoor shower to rinse off the sand which was very useful. The indoor bathroom included local organic handsoap, bodywash, shampoo and conditioner that all smelled lovely. That was an unexpected plus. The onsite restaurant was excellent. The pool and the extraordinary view were really the highlights for us.

CanadaThe hotel restaurant is a sushi restaurant and very expensive. For example once sushi roll is $16 US. Also you need a car to stay at this property, it’s a long hot walk into town.
Beautiful setting, amazing views and pool. Very peaceful and relaxing. We stayed in one of the older units, the two bedroom house. It was clean and worked for us but it didn’t have screens so some mosquitoes inside.

CanadaThe road to the hotel would be a tough walk from the main road with luggage. I got dropped off directly but the larger tourist shuttles don't go down the road. Not a problem for me but there's were a lot of lizards in the room (I thought they were fun) but if you're scared of them then maybe this isn't the place for you.
The room was super clean and the view and the pool were amazing. It's even better than the photos. The staff were friendly and helpful, easily accommodating food allergies. The food in the restaurant was outstanding. There's a lot of wildlife in and around the hotel. They manage insects very well using ecologically friendly methods. I really enjoyed the stay.
