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.).

Costa RicaWi-Fi was pretty lousy in the room. If you need to do anything serious you can go to the restaurant which has adequate Wi-Fi. No English speaking channels in tv, which doesn’t bother me except I had to listen to husband gripe about not having tv or Netflix. For anyone with bad difficulty walking getting to the springs might not be easy. It is an 800 meter walk on the lane (if you have a vehicle you can drive, or they can drive you) then about 400 meters through the beautiful jungle to the springs.
The grounds were gorgeous, like paradise. Beautiful gardens with lots of paths were just delightful. There are fields with cows and horses, very scenic. The springs are wonderful, a beautiful walk to get there. The food in the restaurant was excellent and the staff is very nice. My husband has a knee problem and they even drove us to the parking lot by the springs which was awfully nice. There are many separate hot pools, rustic style not like square swimming pools, and temperatures ranging from lukewarm to scalding. We are in the rainy season and this morning we had them all to ourselves!

Costa RicaThis was my third stay. What I disliked was how the breakfast "policy" changed. I comparison to past stays this time was only DESAYUNO TIPICO offered. That's not really what vegetarian guests eat!!! While asking for some bread with marmalade in exchange, we were told that there is no marmalade (or the like) offered. Well, that's POOR!!!
The service person at the pool bar was very friendly, we enjoyed his attention

the hot springs were amazing and enchanting, it made up for the fact that the rooms have not been improved for 30 plus years I am assuming.

Costa RicaI did not like the bungalow type room due to the poor condition of the paint, kitchen utensils, and the refrigerator in bad condition. Doors that could not be opened, lack of other kitchen utensils such as knives, cups, etc. There was also a huge problem with noises of rats in the ceiling and huge cockroaches coming out of some furniture. The sound of the rats was very annoying and did not let us sleep peacefully
I liked the bungalow type room and its privacy, space. Staff was friendly

Costa RicaThe room entrance key was very hard to open, and only my friend could open it. The breakfast was a typical Costa Rican rice and beans and plantain set, which was not really enticing for us to eat. I used to go to this hotel, and they had a buffet breakfast, which I thought we would get. But, since we are in the rainy season, meaning not many tourists, they gave us the traditional breakfast. It was OK, but this time the experience was quite different from the previous visits.
The surrounding environment was beautiful, and the hot spring was nice. The bed was alright, and the room had a functioning air conditioner. They gave me extra blankets for me. The water level of the hot springs was low due to the little rainfalls, but I could relax there.. The gardens were beautiful, with various tropical plants and flowers.
