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...).

SwitzerlandThey charged me about 20$ on top of the displayed price, even I contacted booking and they said the host should refund, until now no response from the host.
Stayed there just one night, so not much to tell.

CanadaThe facilities are dated but maintained. Pictures on Booking.com look much better than reality. While we were there they had staffing issues in the restaurant. Breakfast was provided for people staying there but the restaurant was closed otherwise.
Brandon addressed our concerns and resolved them to the extent possible. Pool was great to cool off in. Location was central. It is not beachfront. You can see the water from the top floor but is 1.5 km to walk to the beach. Beach and ocean were great for swimming. Lots of restaurants to choose from adjacent or nearby the beach.

CanadaThe bed was old, lumpy, and you could feel the springs poking up. Also, was a king bed in a small space, so no side table and difficult to get in and out.
Nice little hotel with a good pool. Staff were friendly and helpful. As we stayed 9 nights they gave us a room with a kitchenette.

CanadaIt was quiet and a 10 min walk to the beach, shopping, and restaurants all close by. The food at the hotel was excellent as was the staff, very accommodating. My only complaint is the AC goes off in the middle of the night likely to conserve energy, so I’d wake up very hot. Otherwise everything was great!

DenmarkAt first we were sceptical about the road in front of the place - but that dissapeared the moment we settled… The place has a calm vibe and magical atmosphere. Brandon (the owner) was very nice, welcoming and helpfull in anyway we needed. At one point hos mother brougt us mango and banans from her garden 😍 Everything in Sámara is in walking distance; the center, the beach, grosery stores minutes away. There is a fridge in the rooms, and a common kitchen, with everything you need; cups, pans, microwave, hotplate. Machine with boiling water and cold water! The terrace was our favorite spot 😍 I would definitely recommend La flor de coco 🤩

CanadaWe spent 10 nights here. This is a family run hotel who genuinely care about people. I can't say enough good things about the owners who took care of whatever special requests or questions you might have. It was a pleasure getting to know them and learn more about the area. It is located on the main road just outside of the center of Samara. It's nice to escape the noise from the center of town. The hotel has the feel of a hostel with the common areas like the pool tables, sitting areas, and a pool that allow for meeting other travellers. The rooms are basic but had everything we needed. Bed was comfortable. There is a small kitchen area that has just enough equipment that you can make some food or a coffee if you'd like. We really appreciated the water purifier with hot and cold water. At the time we were there, there was a change in management for the restaurant/bar on the property, so wasn't open, but there were other places to eat nearby. We walked everywhere we needed to get to. The beach is within walking distance along with a great snorkelling area during low tide. There is a bus that stops right in front of the hotel.

We were welcomed by Brandon, he helped us out with nice things to do in the area of Samara and helped us to book a surf lesson. Really nice place to chill next to te swimming pool, and the pool itself was also very nice. All the staff was really kind and helpful, we enjoyed our stay here and would recommend!

United KingdomEverything was great.
Absolutely loved our stay here! The hotel is perfectly located - just a short walk from both the beach and tons of great restaurants and shops, which made everything incredibly convenient. The staff was amazing: kind, attentive, and always going the extra mile. We had a small issue with a power socket in our room, and they had us switched to a new room within minutes. The rooms are spacious, clean, and come with hot water, which, as we learned, isn’t always guaranteed in Guanacaste. All in all, a fantastic experience. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in Sámara!
