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.).

Costa RicaSuggestions on last city to get supplies when coming from liberia would have been helpful. We assumed there was one more town but there was not.
Quiet remote location great for unwinding. The kids loved the water slide and the whole family enjoyed the horseback riding. We would go back again.

United StatesThe location was perfect - close to the national park for hikes and hotsprings and not far from the liberia airport (1 hour-ish) The tent we stayed in was amazing and had a beautiful view! The grounds were kept very well. The pool area was clean and beautiful, slide was fun too! Hot tub was great to hop into in the evenings. We even saw toucans here!!! Jorge the owner runs the place and he is a wonderful person all around. We had great conversations with him and he had great reccomendations on different things to do! They can cook you meals throughout your stay - they were a great price and amazing big meals! If you're reading this - book it now, you'll love it too! We can't wait to go back!

Costa RicaWe were in the 2 studio rooms. They are very bare bones, for example the beds have minimal cushioning, no bath mat, or place to hang towels in bathroom. But, As the owner said when we arrived, is a ranch, not a hotel. The room was clean. Both nights we were woken by upstairs renters at 5:45 am, and construction adjacent to the rooms at 7am. Only circulation in room is if you keep the windows open at night, otherwise it’s hot inside, even with fan.
The owner is wonderful and accommodating. He serves delicious meals for a fair price. The pool and hot tub are nice, quiet and immersed in nature. The view from the balcony of the studio rooms have a beautiful view of the ranch where you can relax. Rooms are clean and you can make a basic breakfast. Water was hot. The horse ride was also very beautiful and had some nice views at sunset.

NetherlandsNothing. The accommodation is basic, but that is clear from the description and photo’s.
We stayed in the large four bedroom apartment and it is huge. The windows have screens so the wind blows through the apartment and cools it off at night. Kids loved the pool with the waterslide and the jacuzzi. We had dinner one evening and it was very tasty. Jorge is a great host, very helpful and friendly. We did the horse riding tour which was great, beautiful scenery and the staff was very flexible and friendly with my daughter who was a bit nervous. The road to get there is not great but a lot better than we expected based on other reviews.

NetherlandsRoads in the area need a bit more maintenance (potholes)
As a family of four, two kids of 13 and 10, we enjoyed our 3 night stay at the ranch a lot. We had a comfortable room, with a spacious veranda and a nice view of the surrounding nature. The kids really had a lot of fun in the swimming pools, with tobogan slide and jacuzzi. Even though it was a bit drizzling, they had a very good time! With the guidance of the friendly owner Jorge, we also managed to spot some nice birds like Tucans, Caracara, Woodpeckers, etc. The ranch also has a nice trail for hiking.

CuraçaoWe had a great stay at Vida Aventura. We enjoyed the beautiful stars in the sky at night, and had lots of fun at the pool and the pool slide with our 5-year old daughter. Rolando was helpful and arranged dinner and breakfast for us so we could really relax after hiking at Rincon de la Vieja, which we practically had to ourselves due to low season in May. Highly recommended!

Loved the authenticity of the ranch, the owners and employees! Everyone was very helpful and flexible! We enjoyed the location which was a bit remote and also a great base to explore multiple volcanoes and natural wonders in the areas. We had horseback riding and zip line activities in site and were able to enjoy the swimming pool and hot tub… with the water slide, which the kids loved! The food prepared by Gabriella was very tasty, best Costa Rican cuisine we had on the trip and we enjoyed the newly added bbq and fire pit installed by Jorge and Rolland. Kids loved the well behaved and cute dogs! Simply a great stay for those that are looking for a real Costa Rican experience!

NetherlandsNot really a dislike, but bring some food and drinks.
Such a wonderful place. First of all, the territory of the farm is so beautiful. We sat on the porch watching lots of different birds. The studio was much nicer than on the picture and well equiped. There's no airconditioning, but you really don't need it because you're higher up and there's a fan. The host was super friendly and accommodating, made us feel really welcome. There's ziplining and horse riding. I wish we would have stayed here doing something, because the santa maria sector of the park was closed when we got there. The best thing was the hot tub under the stars.

NetherlandsThe only thing missing according to us was a electrical water boiler to make some tea. But this seems to be the case in many accomodations in Costa Rica.
We have a very pleasant stay at Vida Adventura. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful to us. We we provided with excellent diner and breakfast options for a very reasonable additional charge. The surroundings are very peaceful and quiet whereas, for Costa Rican standards, it isn't too far off from the nearest big town ( 40 mins away from Liberia ). Horses are roaming around the estate and, although not a horse guy myself, they looked well fed and taken care off.
