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 StatesThe street was extremely noisy. Dirt bikes going by a lot. No AC meant we had to leave windows open and made it even noisier. Only accept cash which was inconvenient for me. No mention of a cash only property while booking.
Breakfast was great. Marita and Alberto were extremely welcoming. Beautiful garden on the property. Room was nothing special but it was clean.

United StatesThe tropical garden at the bed and breakfast is delightful. We enjoyed Marita's wonderful breakfast as we gazed over beautiful foliage and bird-watched. The hosts gave excellent suggestions about area activities and provided a very helpful map. Watching the sunset from the nearby lake park was terrific.

GermanyVery nice place to stay with incredibly kind hosts. In the morning we enjoyed a great homemade breakfast with beautiful garden views! We were able to watch a lot of different colourful birds. We had fresh juice, coffee, fruit and a great burrito. We only stayed for one night but wouldn't have minded to stay longer. The place is located on the main street, bars and jobs are in walking distance and you can enjoy a great view over the lake while walking around.

United KingdomSome traffic noise but it was not overly disruptive in our room. Ready access to a fridge would have been useful but I am sure if we had asked the hosts they would have offered use of their fridge.
Superb breakfast. Friendliness and flexibility of hosts, who were non-intrusive but very accessible if needed. Comfortable bed. Variety of birds to be seen in garden. Host's recommendations for eating (Moya's pizza very good). Off street parking.

GermanyNuevo Arenal is nice but as a location some kilometers away from the attractions of La Fortuna. As one knows this before it is not really a negative point. The German bakery is right next door, so if you don't like the smell of freshly baked bread, this might be a negative point (;-)).
Marita and Roberto are the most caring hosts you'll ever meet. The breakfast with view to their lovely garden is great. The room was spacious, comfortable, very clean and with air conditioning.

United StatesNueva Arenal is a great place to stay - in close proximity to La Fortuna Waterfalls/Arenal Volcano and Tenario Volcano/Celeste falls; great restaurants-Tenajas on Lake Arenal for sunsets; Casa Italia for homemade pasta; Moyas for vibe and pizza. Marita and Alberto are a lovely couple - Alberto from the US speaks English and Spanish/Marita spanish. Room is quaint and comfortable; their back deck is a slice of paradise with orchids and gardenias growing. That's where the traditional Costa Rican Gallo Pinto breakfast is served. They are both a wealth of information! Loved our stay!

United KingdomMarita's place was perfect. She and Alberto are the perfect hosts and made me feel like family. They were welcoming, helpful and genuinely friendly. Their place is walking distance from the beautiful lake and the little town. It is also conveniently located next to a German bakery which has delicious pastries! The highlight is definitely their stunning garden which attracts vibrant coloured birds including hummingbirds and a baby toucan while I was there. It's a tranquil setting and having breakfast watching the birds is an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend staying here for a peaceful stay.
