Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

Costa RicaPoor WiFi, rooms doesn't have mini fridge which is kind of difficult to maintain fruits when you have a toddler and the curtains are too thin so it is quite bright early morning
Being beachfront makes it easy to go back and forth to the beach. The staff is very friendly and always trying to make you feel very comfortable. The pool is small but very nice, warm and clean. It has a restaurant and you can bring the food to your room

Costa RicaI wish there was a mini-fridge, otherwise perfect stay.
The food was fresh and delicious, breakfast was generous. Perfect location on the beach front. Lovely pool. Very thankful to be just outside of the very noisy Jaco center, lots of peace and quiet. Friendly and helpful staff.

Costa RicaWhen we arrived, there was no-one to receive us. Front desk closes at 6 pm, and the guard is supposed to hand out the keys, but he was nowhere to be seen. After waiting for about 10 minutes, and looking around all over, we decided to call the numbers on their website. Finally, one of them answered, and sent the guard over to us. But we were on the verge of a panic attack, having arrived there at around 7:30 pm with noway to check in or access our room
Excellent location, very close to the beach. The room was very clean. it is nothing fancy, but it was enough for what we needed. Nice pool, too. We forgot some things in the room, and they wrote to confirm that they got them and are keeping them for us to pick up.

United States of AmericaRooms and beds need updating. No WIFI available in the rooms.
Great location, just short walking distance to the beach. The onsite restaurant was good, serving typical Costa Rican dishes. Breakfast as not included with the room price, but was reasonably priced. Guests were Mostly Americans and some long term guests as well. Small pool, but it was clean. The grounds are tropical and well maintained. The only issue we had was mosquitoes in the room (hope that’s all it was). Otherwise a pleasant experience.

Costa RicaVery bad value for the price we paid. The beds were very basic, linens and towels were extremely low quality and the bed had a plank of wood as a fake headboard on the wall, and we would constantly bump our heads. It was hard to sleep at night because the curtains were thin and bright street lights were blinding us. I’ll put a pic of how bright the room was at 1am. The hotel markets itself as a family run business, but the atmosphere was Very Unwelcoming. There’s no mini fridge, no fan, no floor mats. I asked for extra bed sheets for the kids and was politely told “sorry no the cupboard is locked” by a woman who’s clearly a manager. They have passive aggressive signs saying if you stain their (already stained) linens you’d get fined. The tv was mounted in the ceiling like in a hostel. There was a guest that freely smoked marijuana in their balcony which was annoying for families with kids. The pics of the pool online is exaggerated, it’s much smaller and it wasn’t always clean. The parking was a MESS, the security guard is useless he lets people park and block the driveway and it’s a huge fiasco trying to get out. Its located on the beach but right outside the gates were campers blocking the way with tents etc. Online the booking said breakfast was included but at check in they were charging an additional USD 12 per person. The room has a spacious patio but it desperately needs a floor mat to wipe your feet, the walk paths are made of gravel and we couldn’t wipe our feet on anything, so we’d unfortunately bring sand and pebbles into the room, I’ll include a pic so you see the gravel walkway. There’s no telephone in the room, and reception is closed after 6pm, so you’re on your own after dark. We had stayed at Crocs resort at our previous trip to Jaco, which is right next door. So this place needs to step up and offer the family run, welcoming atmosphere and a niche experience to compete with Crocs. As it is, it’s a hostel service charging resort rates.
The room was a good size. The shower was clean. Air conditioning works ok-ish. The Wi-Fi was not that great. The property has a lovely mature garden. Free (for all) parking.
