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.).

One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in all over the world! Small, boutique hotel in lush, quiet jungle setting. Daily sightings of capuchin and howler monkeys. Staff was incredibly responsive to any questions or requests. Dreamy beds and pillows. Great amenities - body wash, shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, lotion, and insect repellant. Loved the electric kettle with French press and CR coffee (or tea) with lovely large coffee mugs! Nightly treats and turn down service. Daily breakfast delicious. Amazing selections of fantastic meals and snacks all day at on site restaurant. Fully stocked bar with amazing cocktails. Every staff person we encountered, even on paths and grounds, was incredibly friendly and kind. Actually sad to leave this little slice of paradise.

Such a pleasant turn of events. We ended up at Hotel Nya for one night last minute after booking at another hotel in the area that was just a bit too noisy and hot for our 2-month-old infant. I had seen the property before and thought it was stunning, but was nervous to book a typical hotel stay (sharing walls with others) with an unpredictable, potentially crying, infant. Hotel Nya was able to accommodate us last minute and allowed us to enjoy the pool facilities while we waited for our room to be ready. I wasn't sure how baby-friendly a property this nice would be, but they provided a travel crib, left some milk in the fridge, and even had a kiddie pool and toys next to the main pool. Great water pressure, comfortable bed, great AC. The property feels very boutique and was mostly young couples and one other young family. The location is just minutes from the Montezuma waterfalls and Montezuma Beach but still feels very lush, private, and part of the natural surroundings. Though we loved our visit to Santa Teresa, Montezuma felt like a much more authentic Costa Rican town. We had one of our best wildlife experiences of the trip here when we were treated to both Capuchin and Howler monkeys swinging from the trees at dusk-- right outside our room! We watched them play for half an hour from our balcony. I would have loved to have had more time to explore the trails on the property. We ate dinner at the hotel restaurant, Ubin, which was one of the best meals I ate during our week in Costa Rica. (Get the sea bass.) Even though it's a very upscale experience, we never felt uncomfortable when our baby was a bit fussy during the meal. Breakfast at the restaurant (included in our stay) was also delicious. We would absolutely stay here again if we returned.

United KingdomIt was all great, but if we were being really picky a mirror and a bit more storage in the bedroom would be good.
Great location for the beach and town area. The hotel grounds and pool area were well maintained and it felt like a little oasis. We were so lucky to see monkeys within the first 30 minutes of arriving. The rooms were clean and a good size. Breakfast was tasty. The turn down service treats were great. All the little touches made our stay. The staff were friendly. We had a great time.

It was beautiful and a great location. We had wild monkeys come down to us. It was very close to the beach. The staff was amazing. And the food was delicious. Most stay place in Montezuma!!!

United StatesNothing I didn’t like just a couple of suggestions. Perhaps a full length mirror in the room and skimming the pool more often.
So many things…a wonderful full breakfast every morning included in the price. Each morning served with a new flavor of juice. Turn down service every night which included a different “treat”. Staff was friendly and helpful. Has a pool. I thought a great value.

CanadaA lot of the restaurant staff, particularly one waitress who served us while we were there, seemed to be annoyed at any request or even greeting. Food/drinks way overpriced.
Great location, steps away from downtown Montezuma. The hotel had all of the facilities you could ask for and I even did an amazing yoga class. I wouldn't necessarily say that the price equated to the price, but it was a very comfortable stay. The most kind and helpful staff member was Sting, whose attitude and sense of humour was so appreciated. The people at the front desk were also very helpful in assisting us with transportation and tours. The included breakfast was basic but good. Food and drinks were really good.

United StatesOne dinner was a bust. When we arrived the restaurant was crowded. It took about an hour for the appetizer to arrive. Then another long period past so we asked the waiter to cancel the entre. We were the last people in the restaurant. Just at that time he said the main course was ready. Unfortunately the shrimp in the curry shrimp was WAY over cooked and hard. The rice was way under cooked. We suspect the cook had left and the cleaning staff did the cooking...the waiter apologized and made sure to take care of us at the breakfast. The hotel is not right on the beach so you have to walk down a couple blocks to the beach. The beach is rocky at that location so to get to sand you have to walk a few blocks farther. We did not go to the beach since we were on excursions, snorkeling and sunset cruise.
A beautiful secluded upscale hotel in the jungle. A beautiful swimming pool and fine restaurant except for 1 dinner which did not come off.
