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.).

AustraliaAbsolutely loved the place. Cute little gardens between the apartments. Place was clean and to my surprise pretty specious. Breakfast was just a nice plus. I really loved the deck for yoga which really is between the top of trees. The pool area was quiet and we were there almost all the time alone which was also very nice. It felt like it is there only for us :)

SpainEven that the room was super clean, at night there are some ants walking the place. We ignored them, but some people might not be comfortable around them. Not the hotels fault, but there is a construction nearby, so during the day you could hear the hammers and saws. Not too bad, we still enjoyed being around the pool.
Everything was good, the open space that connects the room-containers is really taken care of while being super green and the space for breakfast is nice and beautiful. The rooms are small (as expected by the pictures), clean and feel like new.

United StatesThe is not within Green Sanctuary's control. However, there is loud an consistent construction right next door currently, they start early and end later. So you will hear construction noises if you stay at the hotel during the day.
Great location away from the busyness of central Nosara, but still walkable or bikeable. You're up on top of a peak, so you can get fresh breezes and howler monkeys play in the trees above.

CanadaWhile we were there the building next door was being constructed and it was very loud. Workers there even on the weekend.
The breakfast, room and pool were all wonderful...and so was the staff. It was great to be surrounded by so much greenery and we enjoyed daily visits from multiple howler monkey families.

United KingdomIt’s a little far from the main restaurant area to walk at night, but this didn’t matter to us but I thought important to mention. The hotel organised a tuk tuk for us which meant that we could go to dinner and back easily.
Cute setting, unique room design, chilled vibe. Ten mins walk to the beach, breakfast was included, lovely and helpful people who work here.

DenmarkThe pool. I don't think it's necessary in such a place, and it didn't seem like it was prioritised by the property. Internet isn't the fastest, but then again, who comes here to be surfing...on the internet (pun intended).
Value for money is great, if not the best in the entire area. The idea with containers is effectively executed and staff is kind and friendly. Breakfast is great.

CanadaIt is obvious that the water situation in the region is something that businesses have to deal with, pool was clean but lacked water. Still able to cool off, no issue. To the novice traveller in CR, could bring negative reviews surely.
Remote, quiet - small venue. Breakfast staff and reception staff were as friendly as can be. Flexible owner. Pura Vida.

BrazilThe distance from the beach , in the way to the beach I have to pass trough a lot of houses in constructions and workers that stare at me and called me and it was very uncomfortable and i felt unsafe. It’s nothing about the property itself but if you are alone and want to move around, the hotel is far from the vila with restaurants and a little bit from the beach
The size of the room is very good , it’s a container just for myself.
