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...).

Swedenthe lodge we first stayed in wasn’t as modern as the rest of the lodges we moved into.
we loved how it was surrounded by nature, nice and quiet. the location was great for relaxing and going to the beach, with great restaurants nearby and not to far from Puerto Viejo in taxi. we stayed in the original room we booked but it was by the reception and was a last minute booking. but we asked if there was any better rooms with air conditioning. the staff was brilliant and after 1 night they moved us to a new lodge nearer the pool area. also they new it was our honeymoon and gave us a bottle of champagne and flowers on the bed. all in all great hotel and stay.

PolandEverything was honestly great, but it can get loud due to the howler monkeys - just be ready to embrace it.
The location of this lodge is literally in the middle of the jungle, even if very close to the main road. The flora and fauna are absolutely amazing: you can spot (and hear) numerous birds, howler monkeys (luckily they stayed quite high up in the trees), etc. The lodge itself is huge, very well maintained, very clean and overall super comfortable. I was impressed at how clean the whole area was, given the wind, leaves constantly falling etc. The lodge also has a swimming pool, massage facilities and a restaurant, so one does not even have to travel for long to get access to mostly everything. There is also a small supermarket at 5 mins walking distance, and there are also some other restaurants within walking distance, which is great.

United States of AmericaThe hot tub which we paid extra for would not get hot. The bed was like sleep on rocks. Also our toilet flush switch was broken so I had to open the top of the toilet to flush the whole time. Not worth the price of upgrade.
It looks so luxurious! aesthetically pleasing absolutely! The massage and body scrub were fantastic. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our lack of Spanish. Breakfast was fantastic as well as their dinner options. Restaurant was incredible.

United States of AmericaAlex and his sister on reception were warm and helpful After an issue with the first bungalow, they addressed it right away and made sure everything was good for the rest of my stay. It made all the difference. Quiet and secluded Restaurant service was good, but staff could be a little warmer.
Linens and towels need replacing. While clean and changed daily upon request, they are worn and thin. This would be a simple low cost but noticeable update.

United States of AmericaThe advertisement for the property was very misleading. I expected far better accommodates than I received. the location is very remote in the middle of nowhere. if you enjoy outdoor living in wilderness than you might like the place. entirely to much nature for me. no hot water, no AC, Electricity is poor, the pool has bugs, and spiders everywhere, and unknown animal roaming the property. I’m sorry I did not take any pictures I just want to get out of there.
Breakfast in the morning was pretty decent.

United States of AmericaAs others have mentioned, the wifi was terrible in the room. Also, there is only one pool and it closes early. The breakfast was very limited. And the noises from the outside will wake you up at night.
Me and two other friends stayed here for a couple of days. We got to see a sloth resting about 6 feet from our bungalow. The hammock was nice outside.
