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 AmericaNot on the host but Costa Rica goes to bed early. The sun is down by 6 pm and quiet hours are observed shortly after through the night. A few times the pool and facilities would shut down early if no one was using them. This could be a bother on occasion if we didn't arrive back at the room until after things had been shut down at 7pm vs the 10pm time posted.
The breakfast was a Costa Rican typical fare. The host served the same breakfast daily. This was fine with myself and friends as we were able to cook and add things like sausage to our plates if desired ~

SlovakiaNo ac in the room (but we should have checked that) and the vent was not great.
The shared area was brand new with new pool and nice kitchen area. Not in the centre but close to the beach. Parking inside available.

United States of AmericaThey were making improvements that had construction pretty early the next morning, but we were warned and had to get up early anyway. Instructions on how to get through the locked gate upon arrival would’ve been helpful.
It’s a fun, hippy, beach vibe with a very friendly staff! The beach was super close, and the breakfast was great. They had some rooms with private bathrooms, and they also had a community fridge. Excellent experience for my first hostel!

GermanyThe construction currently starts at 6-6:30, goes the whole day and is very loud. It will be fine once it's over. 20th of December, I believe. As it is now, you can hardly use the kitchen.
It is a really nice hostel, with good vibes in a great location. The host is really friendly and the breakfast fantastic

GermanyDuring my stay the garden was being renovated so there was a bit of noise during the day. But I did get informed about that before my arrival so I could expect it.
The hostel is quite nice. It’s located a bit outside of the main city so it’s super quiet. The hosts are really wonderful. They prepare a fresh breakfast every morning which is super delicious. Don’t be surprised to find some insects in your room - that’s just Costa Rica! They don’t have an A/C which didn’t bother me.

Come to this cozy, colorful jungle where breakfest was excellent, garden and relax areas were so good that CasaJungla will be a place you imagine from now on then you think about retreat. :))) 3 komplete bathrooms, beautifully decorated like rest of the accomodation, always clean, and they put new towels on your bed every other day. Thank you, you are excellent example on how to run a hostel! :))

I really loved this hostel. It’s about a mile from the main part of jaco, which I enjoyed as it was a little quieter. They have bikes you can borrow to go downtown but also walking distance. The kitchen area was stellar!! Super clean and organized, was so refreshing compared to other hostel kitchens. Cute dog <3 Garden in the back was so lovely. And bonus points from me for the outside shower option! Lovely hosts who spoke very good English. Breakfast and coffee was yummy and super filling. Overall loved

CanadaThis was a very pleasant experience. the owners are very nice and they are easy to talk with. very informative on anything you need. Rooms: We stayed in a private room. very spacious with ceiling fans. Beds: very comfy and 2 pillows/person Common areas: a variety of different areas snd experiences. living room in the front with couches and chairs. kitchen +dining area very spacious with large table. Garden has a few hammocks and garden furniture under a tent so you’re not in the sun/ rain. Kitchen: Well equipped. Fridge: Only one fridge but it’s a small hostel so we all managed. Extras: There are a few bicycles which are free for the first hour then they charge 2,000 colónes if you take additional hours. Surf boards available. Breakfast: Coffee is prepared early in the morning and they serve you breakfast at the table. Typical Tico breakfast. Very safe hostel as most places in CR. 10-12 minutes walk to downtown by road. A few minutes less via the beach. 5 minutes by bicycle.
