Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

ItalyThe noice from the street was very loud. A shared kitchen would have been great for making a coffee in the morning or prepare something simple. No hairdryer in the room (this is a general thing in CR).
Simple accomodation, few min walking from the centre of Santa Elena. The host were gentle with us and helped choosing between the activities they were in collaboration with.

The location is good as it's not far from the centre and there are restaurants and a supermarket close by. The bed was extremely comfy and the room was a good size. The shower was also great and WiFi was reliable.

United KingdomCould have done with a new shower head, the water comes out like a jet. And a sign saying cowboy hostel would have been useful for finding ut for the fist time. All the local bus companies seemed to know where it was though :)
Good location about 10 minutes walk away from the centre of town. Nice and clean, comfortable and good value for money. We didnt interact with the staff much but they seemed nice and They let us check in early as ourr bus from San jose arrived at around 11.30am

GermanyNo opportunity to make some food or have breakfast. Bathrooms are rather old and not really appealing. Quite close to a street which results in a lot of noise.
Perfect location for a visit to Santa Elena Nationalpark and all facilities in Santa Elena, but not within the crowded area. Parking spot directly in front of the hostel. Spacious room & possibilty to sit outside. If you ask nicely you even get a boiler to make some tea.

Belgium- There were construction works going on next to our place which were loud during the day. Ofcourse, the hotel can do nothing about this. - We had to pay cash because the machine did not work. - Someone at the reception said that we could book a zipline tour cheaper through him, but eventually we had to pay the full price.
A fair price for the rooms. Staff does not speak english, but try really hard. Wifi was very good.

United StatesThere was not a fan or air-conditioning, so it got a little stuffy inside. A mini fridge would have been great and helpful
The location was perfectly just outside of town - easy walking distance. The room was nice and clean. We liked having a place to park and an outdoor space to sit. For the price a great value!

AustraliaWe arrived during reception hours and had to call to get the receptionist to come check us in. Would be good to have screen on windows for bugs. No soap given. No cooking kitchen but some freedoms mentioned above made it better.
Beds were comfortable. Receptionist was friendly and helpful. Beds were big and comfortable and a blanket was included ! It is definitely more of a hotel than a hostel. We loved the fact that we could use the fridge at our convenience with a key and there were dishes and a space to wash up.
