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 StatesI didn't try any of the restaurants because they were too pricey and honestly, I think that might've been for the best because that allowed me and my partner to go to the town nearby and get the food that was incredibly tasty and for affordable pricing.
I loved the room, the amenities was great and the staff were super friendly. They were always so kind and whenever I had aa questions, they happily answered.

United StatesFood at Lava Lounge restaurant was just okay. It was not bad, but it was nothing special. However, the view and ambience was amazing, just the food was okay. This hotel greatly exceeded my expectations though otherwise and I would highly recommend it to anyone traveling Fortuna/Arenal - our 6 night stay was amazing.
Staff are very attentive, helpful and friendly. Room was big, very nice, and clean. View of volcano is amazing from 4th floor room. 8 minute taxi ride to town center from hotel ($10 USD). Can walk to Baldi hot spring from hotel if that is on your list of things to do. Most excursions will pick you up from hotel. Nice breakfast buffet that is included. Private taxi that was booked to get to and from SJO airport was super easy (2.75 hour scenic ride with ability to stop for bathroom/food breaks)

NetherlandsBreakfast is good probably for most people, but it is not what we are used to. Eggs are called creamy but they are overcooked and with cooking cream on top. The cook at the station cannot do eggs that are not overly cooked. Plenty of fruits available which is fantastic.
The pools, the cleanliness.

United Statesthe room we got had AC issues every night. the digital thermostat kept turning off and making the room impossible to get a good nights rest. the hotel engineer plus some staff tried a couple of times to rectify the problem to no avail. finally i had enough and on the last night the manager put us in the master suite. it was awesome. got a good nights sleep the last night. she also gave us complimentary spa treatments which were fantastic. so the resort made up for the inconveniences. thank you
everything was excellent. we had a nice dinner on premises one night. the staff are very friendly helpful and accomodating. the thermal pools are relaxing. the one cold pool is nice too but its not that cold like all pools here because of the warm climate.

CanadaEverything was excellent, I would suggest having a few larger and deeper natural thermal pools and a hotter steam room would be my only suggestion. Otherwise it was an excellent hotel that I will return to.
Everything was excellent, lovely hotel and with a great view of the Arenal volcano, great food and breakfast, great staff. I will be returning again for sure.

Fantastic room, breakfast, pools and staff. The staff were always there to help and were sincerely friendly. Some of the best staff we've ever experienced in a hotel/resort.

United StatesHigh cost of room; food options in the fourth floor restaurant weren't very local. I wish there were more cooking options among the tours. I couldn't do any high-adventure tours because of an injury, and so I didn't sign up for any tours. But I would have signed up for one that included more cultural experience such as learning how to cook something local or improving my Spanish or learning an art/craft form, if there had been that option.
Room, staff, a/c, breakfast quality, multiple pools of different temperatures, friendliness (they made me feel part of a community), tour options, spa.
