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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United StatesDidn’t realize there was no door to the bathroom in the bungalow but very nice private bathroom by the pool to use as well!
We had a wonderful stay! Breakfast was great, pool was lovely, and Shannon was a wonderful host! A little oasis right off the main streets of Tamarindo

United StatesNo big compliments! A few small things like we had to go downstairs from our bungalow to use the bathroom and we had some loud neighbors (but not the owners fault in that)
Very cute little bungalows tucked back into a quieter spot in tamarindo. The owner Nico was super nice as well as an employee named Jill. The free breakfast was very tasty and I appreciate that it wasn’t the same thing every morning. Parking was easy and convenient. And the pool offered a nice hang out spot to lounge. Overall lovely experience. Would recommend!

The bungalow style rooms are a wonderful experience and Nico & Leti are very friendly and accommodating. The breakfasts were delicious and included with your stay. I would highly recommend staying here & would definitely visit this lovely oasis again in the future.

United StatesWe wanted a place to decompress after a week long tour through the country and BB did not disappoint! It was very relaxing. We took full advantage of all offerings including excellent recommendations from places to eat, things to do and visiting an uncrowded beach (Playa Grande) for which you take a boat across to reach.

SwitzerlandEverything was amazing but the only downside was that there was no AC in the room - only a fan. During the day it was really hot in the room but it got colder in the evening.
Really clean and cozy bungalow! The pool area was reallly nice to relax. The staff prepared a fresh breakfast every morning and they cooked something different each day. Nico & Letti were really friendly and helpful - they provided many good reccomendations and activities. The location was good - you can totally get everywhere without a car.

United KingdomNothing!
The property is absolutely stunning and only give minutes walk from the beach and main town. Four individual bungalows with a communal pool and dining area. Each villa has a hammock, sunbed and washing line underneath with accommodation upstairs. Breakfast is made fresh every morning and they can accommodate vegetarians. The owner, Nico, is an excellent host and was able to help us arrange a sunset catamaran cruise. One of the best places I have ever stayed!

United StatesThere is a road you walk up which is around the corner from the bungalow. It’s very quiet and off the main road. This is a side note for woman to just be aware when walking back alone at night. I asked my friends to walk me back to be safe.
Nico and the staff there were incredibly helpful, communicative and accommodating. The place was just perfect for me traveling alone. I felt safe and cozy in the bungalow. Area is 5 minute walk from restaurants and social life. Would definitely come again. Thank you!

CanadaThe bungalow was small, just enough room for the bed really so you will not be spending much time inside. However, the space underneath the bungalow with a daybed and hammock make up for that!
This was a great place to stay in Tamarindo. The small complex was an oasis in a busy tourist town. Liked the breakfast (different everyday), coffee available early, lots of closet space so you could hide all of your luggage and keep the place neat, quiet and excellent ceiling fan, small fridge, free bottled water everyday. Finally, we spent a lot of time in the pool as it was 35 degrees and up while we were there - it was a lovely refuge. Book it!

United StatesThere was nothing that we did not like, everything was great the location, the staff and beyond. It was our only "adult only" hotel that we stayed at during our time in Costa Rica and it was a welcomed reprieve :)
Everything was beyond my expectations. Nico and his wife, along with the rest of the staff, were incredibly friendly and helpful. The location was private and away from the noise but close enough to the action if you wanted to stay out all night. We felt incredibly safe and will definitely be staying again!

Canadapool was cold and because of the canopy cover it was tough to jump into as it never heated up, but nice and clean and clear and there if really needed. Rooms a bit small, but not too bad. Ceiling fan has three speeds and needed due to No Air, but again still comfy!
short walk to bars and restaurants and shopping, and nice little quiet oasis at the end of the day. Nico was the perfect “hands on” owner. great breakfast that changed every day. Tree house concept was fun and Nico’s card tricks over breakfast were great.
