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...).

United States of AmericaWe arrived at the hotel at about 9:30 pm. The street was dark and we missed the hotel. We had to turn around and come back. The person who greeted us at the door was very friendly and pleasant. He gave us a good overview of the layout of the hotel. He guided us to our room.
The room rent included breakfast which was served in the restaurant near the main entrance. The breakfast was good; the coffee was good. The best part was the birds in the garden. You could hear them starting sunrise. My wife took a lot of pictures. There was a group of photographers who also took a lot of pictures.

CanadaMy room was the furthest away from the main entrance. With slight knee issues was difficult to go up and down. I was told the hotel was full and no closer rooms however I did not see them check before they answered me.
Was pretty good. Had to seat myself and get napkin and utensils. No one attended to me.

United KingdomHave to expect some airport rumbles
Great location for airport and for visiting the former capital of Alajuela (well worth it). Lovely small pool area and separate restaurant area with good food. Great to have an owner who cares about birds and who goes out of his way to attract birds to the sizeable garden. Regular haunt for birdwatchers on their way in or out of Costa Rica with free (morning) airport shuttle.

United States of AmericaThe only thing which they can't help since they are so close to the airport is the occasional loud airplane.
This is so close to the airport, but they have managed to create an oasis in the urban area where it is located. Breakfast was included and it was very good with fresh fruit and a choice of eggs with rice and beans or pancakes with an egg. They offer a free airport shuttle that we used both times we stayed here which was very convenient. We also had dinner both times we stayed which was delicious! We especially loved the property which has many trees and flowers drawing a variety of birds including a Squirrel Cuckoo, Great Kiskadees, Spot-breasted Oriole, Blue-gray tanagers, White-winged and Inca Doves. They also have nesting boxes for Pygmy Owls but we didn't get to see them. It was enjoyable to walk around and birdwatch. Emanuel is knowledgeable about birds and he gives birding tours which we didn't have time to do, but we wished we could have fit that in. We would definitely come back!

It was very close to the airport, 10 min away or less. It was quiet. They had a free shuttle for pickup and drop off at the airport. They had a restaurant on site. There was a pool. We left early before breakfast started so they made us a to go bag with sandwich, apple, and juice.
