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 KingdomAs above . More loungers needed and make clear if ocean view room or not .
Great location and beautifully set in jungle beside beach . Free yoga and jungle walk excellent . Staff very friendly and helpful . Only cons would be it’s worth making clear and ocean suite beachfront doesn’t necessarily mean an ocean view as this is what we assumed and also need a lot more beach loungers as always in short supply . Overall would highly recommend

United KingdomJust small things - Air conditioning a bit noisy in the room and would have liked a lid on bathroom bin.
Clean and comfortable with a little taste of the rainforest on the verandah outside the room. Very friendly and helpful staff. Restaurant was great and right by the beach. Saw a poisonous dart frog and sloths just outside the hotel. Walking distance from the jaguar rescue centre.

United KingdomNice enough room although facing the bins at the rear was not great. Sunbeds by jungle pool very uncomfortable. Hot jacuzzi turned off at night so cold in the mornings. Food (both breakfast and dinner) fine, you would not say bad, but you'd probably choose somewhere else night 2 like we did. All in all a nice stay, but they need help and advice setting this place up to be very good
Nice enough room. Reception staff mainly were fine. Sunbeds in the beach / garden are lovely. Location was good bearing in mind (we had a car). Overall a nice stay

United StatesHad to move my room due to maintenance which seems the staff didn’t communicate well since it was after check in time, went with my family to the room and the staff was working on the a/c. Then when we get assigned another room my son gets stuck inside the bathroom since the door was not working properly and when reported took too long for the staff to come fix which I was able to get my son out myself. The restaurant service was very slow but besides that overall good.
Liked the location, amenities and overall service.

Costa RicaIs very dirty in general and there’s no care in common areas. Is very unfortunate that they have stop caring to uphold their good reputation. The gardens look terrible like no one cares. Is definitely not wat used to be.
The location is great and had stayed before and had a great experience.

United StatesMy door key 🔑 was difficult. It took almost multiple tries every time to get it open. The sheets are old...although clean, some have stains.
The location is perfect. The beach is gorgeous and private. The room nestled in the rain forest with a balcony is very tranquil. The staff is very helpful and polite. I have enjoyed my time here and will be back.

LuxembourgThe surroundings next to the beach area could be ‚cleaner‘ and tidier, the tiles on the floor for example but i am being picky!😊
The hotel was really cute, with different pools and a nice breakfast. The restaurant with entertainment at night was also really good. The room was beautiful with a view on a lush garden with sloths, parrots, tucans…etc the staff was just wonderful, helpful and super friendly. Bog up to the manager and the great entertainer Klaus🤪

IrelandThe hotel is about 3k outside of Puerto Viejo so if you want lots of restaurants and bars close by, this is not the case.
The hotel is one of the nicest in the area. The staff are super friendly and helpful, the setting of the jungle is beautiful and the rooms are spacious, clean and modern. Gigi’s restaurant has a really good menu and the food is tasty and high quality. The hotel has several pools and a beach club that is a perfectly chilled out place to relax so there is something for everyone. I would highly recommend.

Costa RicaI didn't like the mold smell... after a thorough cleaning was great, but after a day the mold smell was profound. I understand that in this super humid weather is impossible to avoid it.
I loved the mosquito nets and AC in the room. The ambiance is stunning! Beautiful view from the ocean side rooms. Food is really good... we actually didn't go out and kept eating at the restaurant.

Costa RicaThe reception was too informal, the monitors were placed as a barrier between the receptionist and the visitor. Was unexpected, you couldn't see their faces and it felt like they didn't care. A complimentary glass of water would have been nice too, after driving for 4.5 hours to get there.
The room was nicer than expected, breakfast was ok, more options would have been better and the beach view was great from the Gigi Cavana.
