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.).

NetherlandsThe location is not perfect but it actually adds to the charm.
It’s clean, comfortable and has the best owners and staff in Brasilito. The transformation of this property is stunning. It’s a quiet little gem just off the main road. It’s comfortable and quirky. The owners and the hostess bring this place to life. I travel extensively and it’s very seldom you get such personalized service. We loved our stay because we were given such personalized treatment. If I ever return to Brasilto, I’ll return to Quinta Esencia.

United StatesXimena is Hostess Extraordinaire. She made our every moment at the B&B superb. She is so much more than a hostess. She makes the place. We also loved being slightly removed from the exclusivity of the surrounding developing coastal communities to the north and south of Brasilito. Thank you so much Ximena!

United StatesWe loved the convenient location, and everyone there could not have been nicer. Breakfast was delicious, and we so appreciate that they went out of their way to also make a breakfast for our 8 month old. The room was clean and quiet too! The hotel provided a tent and wagon for us to take what we needed down to the beach, and we had an absolute blast.

United StatesA bit pricey for Costa Rica but still worth it.
We enjoyed a lot our stay, the BnB is very nice and the breakfast with fresh fruit is fantastic! The location is great if you look for a less touristic spot. A bit difficult to get there without a car but there are a couple of restaurant at walking distance so you don't need to drive at night. A big plus is the proximity to playa conchal, so you skip the long line for parking.

Cute little B&B situated perfectly to explore the nearby beaches and restaurants. Breakfast was nice with fruit, toast and coffee. Room was spacious with a large comfy bed. Small pool and communal space were a nice addition. Huge thanks to the very friendly lady that runs the place who let us leave our luggage in a safe place and shower after we checked out. We felt welcome here and didn't want to leave!

She helped us find a surfing lesson for us, provided restaurant recommendations, and created a happy environment. The bed and breakfast is clean, rustic, and walking distance to Brasilito and Playa Conchal. You can use the kitchen area as well to cook meals. The dogs are also super cute.

GermanyCons: - Rooms are not soundproof (if the person next door or on a terrace is talking you can hear everything) - There is a safe in the wardrobe but I think it is useless since you can carry it around.
We had a nice stay at Quinta Esencia. This is a small (new) private hotel, which has a lot to offer. Pros: - Big comfy beds (hard mattress but very comfy) - Breakfast was very nice - Communication with a host was great she will try to show you around and give you some tips. We were talking with her about diffusor and next day she gave us one for the night to try some new oils. - Parking is there for you car (inside a fence) - There is a small shared kitchen outside of the rooms - Dogs and Cats

United StatesThe only thing that was a bit tough was that the shower-head holder in my bathroom needed to be fixed/glued to stay in place. The fixture where you place the shower-head into the holder on the wall was not secure so once the shower head was placed back in the holder, it would tilt down and all the way back towards the wall. I had to get creative and roll up a washcloth to prop up behind the shower-head line so the shower-head would stay at a 60 degree angle, and it worked fine.
One of the most wonderful trips ever!! Ximena made me feel like family!! She is an absolute gem and always made me laugh! When I had to leave, I actually cried the night before and also in the morning when I was leaving and hugging goodbye because I was going to miss everything - from Ximena greeting me with her delicious plates of fresh fruit each morning, sweet Ruby and Bella (dogs) keeping me company each evening out on the terrace, Botas the cat coming around to say hello, the rooster outside in the yard behind our rooms serving as my early-morning alarm clock a few times (that was actually funny!), and my favorite of all - the sweet little bird in the tree each morning singing, “Beeeeeeeeep!” ☺️ The property sits on a hill and the rooms (there are four) are built up in a treetop-style loft. There is a spacious outdoor community-style kitchen where you can cook your own meals if you’re on a budget or don’t feel like going out to eat every night. There is a supermarket and pharmacy right next door. There is a large terrace outside of the rooms with tables where you can sit, relax, enjoy breakfast, or read a book to unwind after a day at the beach. The rooms are spacious with a minibar and a wooden armoire to place your belongings. Beach towels are graciously provided. I absolutely loved this place! I did NOT want to leave - ever. Also, it’s a ten minute walk to Brasilito beach and a twenty minute walk to Playa Conchal, one of the most beautiful beaches you will ever visit. Ximena, muchas gracias por todo y te volveré a ver pronto, amiga mió!! ☺️☺️
