Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The resort itself is beautiful, with stunning views, nice cold and warm pools and the staff are very helpful. Value for money is very high and you definitely should stay here, no doubts.

United States of AmericaWe did not fully grasp how far the property was from town and how limited transportation options would be. This is part of the reason the resort is so peaceful and bucolic. But we should have rented a car.
The views and setting were wonderful. I really liked that the property was not so large/so many rooms. The staff were so gracious and helpful.

United KingdomFor the price, we expected a better breakfast selection. Rooms could benefit from hooks on balcony for pool towels and wet swimwear. Only 2 pool towels provided for a family of four.
Fabulous small resort in the rainforest by Lake Arenal. 30 mins easy drive to the busy town of La Fortuna. Amazing views of Arenal volcano from our room. We had a ground floor room and hummingbirds would visit the beautiful gardens right by our balcony. Open air restaurant was a wonderful setting however the menu is limited and offers the same for lunch and dinner - this got a bit boring after a 2 nights, we drove to town on our last night for variety. Great pools (one cold, one warm) with swim up bar and lounge area. Good family hotel, lots to see and do right nearby and the hotel can arrange tours - we also saw Tucans, frogs and coutis just in the hotel grounds :-)

United KingdomWe liked everything but be aware that the hot pool is a bit small and might be crowded. The curtains in the room let some light through and note that since it’s in the middle of the jungle, you can hear a lot of natural sounds from animals to rain on the vegetation. It’s lovely but it might get loud. Regardless, we would go back anytime.
The room was clean and spacious, with all key comforts, and an amazing view. Staff always very kind. The SPA is so beautiful, an experience definitely to try. The restaurant is good and surrounded by the jungle, like the pools and the room. Location is also quite central for key tours/ places to visit. Definitely recommended

Phenomenal hotel with great amenities and facilities. The hotel room was beautiful and had amazing views of the volcano. The property was gorgeous and well maintained. The hiking trail was a plus!

CanadaA beautiful rain forest oasis outside of the bustle of La Fortuna. Amazing views of Arenal volcano from our room. Steep property so may be challenging for those with mobility needs, but resort has shuttle service. Open air restaurant was wonderful. Great pool with swim up bar and lounge area. In the heart of nature surrounded by beauty.

CanadaIt was a little bit outside of La Fortuna, but honestly the town itself was not our favourite so we were glad to be a little bit removed!
This place exceeded our expectations. The staff was incredible, the food was delicious, and they had great facilities (bar/pool) - The heated pool was a really nice touch! It came with a free breakfast every morning, and a lot of the time we stayed for dinner due to the amazing local cuisine. It had local wildlife trails and a beautiful view of the volcano from every room. It was the perfect spot to relax after days filled out activities. Loved our stay!

United States of AmericaEverything was great. The wifi was a bit slow but it was always working and therefore was fine. The room was large and the only thing I can recommend is perhaps a chair or a bench/couch which would be nice to lounge in, sit down to put shoes on, etc., especially for a kid, but this is not anything that will prevent us from returning to the Lost Iguana Resort.
We chose this hotel based on its nice reviews and in particular because of the views of Arenal Volcano from the room category that we booked. This property did not disappoint. The view of Volcan Arenal from room 24 was amazing but we also enjoyed the tranquility. The setting of the property is beautiful and we saw lots of hummingbirds and coatis on property. All staff were extremely helpful and pleasant, in particular at the restaurant where we enjoyed a nice complimentary breakfast buffet every morning. We also had two dinners there, both of which were great. We will plan on staying at this property again on a future visit and wished we had more than just 3 nights.
