Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

BrazilRoom was clean but in need of renovation. Problematic for allergic people. Mold on the walls of some rooms. Staff sometimes unfriendly. I was with a group and two friends had their bookings cancelled without notice one day prior to arrival. Called the hotel rightly after the cancellation and they said they couldn‘t do anything. It was booking.com‘s fault and they were booked out. Called booking.com and they said it was the hotel‘s fault. Result: My friends had stay in another hotel, so we were apart during our stay in SJ. Not nice. Some days loud parties during the night. Hard to sleep if you are noise sensitive
Cozy hotel if you have the right room. Breakfast next to the garden, nice atmosphere. Gym, breakfast, wifi okay. Good location and coffee. Very good restaurant in the hotel, cafe kracovia

United StatesThe Uber app didn't let me use the hotel as a pick up point, but I texted the driver and he could find me easily.
I like most things about this hotel. The common areas inside were well decorated and the outside garden was enchanting. My room was clean and comfortable, with a view to the garden. And breakfast was quite satisfying.

Breakfast was excellent, and always served with a smile. The place is a lovely homely hotel, not a cookie cutter chain, but a place to relax in that feels like the traditional Costa Rica. Security was good and lovely to wake up and walk outside to hummingbirds and butterflies

BrazilIsolated from the historical/museums area of San Jose (need taxi/Uber), hard to walk outside anywhere because of location - you need to be relatively in form to walk outside, and this hampered my enjoyment of the place (my age and mobility problems). Google maps and similar do not show sharp inclines everywhere. Except for breakfast and a couple of dishes in restaurant, typical local food not offered.
Very nice hotel, beautiful decoration, nice staff, clean rooms, good wifi, very silent with birds chirping early in the morning, very good breakfast options, within 20 - 35 minute walk to University of Costa Rica - which is good if you have meetings there. Ideal to isolate yourself from the world. Nice restaurant inside hotel, with many Polish specialties.

United StatesBreakfast starts at 7; we arrived at 7:15 after a van full of travelers. Buffet was never really replenished or checked. Staff was still helpful and delivered food from menu to the table. To be expected from a smaller hotel, You can hear people in the hall ways and doors shutting. No worries, it gets super quiet at night. Nothing out of the ordinary for hotels this size and type in my opinion.
Our room did not have A/C, at check-in in the afternoon - I was worried, but the room never got hot. At night such a cool breeze came inside the room, I learned an A/C is not needed. In fact the room not having A/C made the stay more enchanting. This property is a truly enchanting experience. The café in front of the hotel is such a tasty place to eat dinner. Hotel is located walking distance to a mall with a great food court and other nice restaurants. The property is also a short 10 dollar taxi cab ride to the center of town with museums, churches, and shopping.
