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...).

We loved our stay here. Every apartment has a pretty little garden with seating and a hammock. We loved watching the hummingbirds feed on the flower nectar. The property also has a mini farm going on - expect chickens and geese to wander by and cockerels battling it out every morning to be the loudest alarm! The pool area is very nice and there’s a mini restaurant for breakfast (cash payment in dollars only). Eugenia is a great host, very dry sense of humour! A great little with a lovely, authentic charm. Highly recommend!

GreeceCould hear the sound of the road when sitting around the lovely pool which was very busy . Also you have to pay in cash which I wasn’t aware of needs to be more obvious on the info .
Surrounded by beautiful tropical Plants and a view of Volcan Arenal. Also better to be a little out of La Fortuna itself . Lots of restaurants around in easy walking distance . Facilities for making tea coffee and eating your own food .

CanadaJust 2 little things but honestly would still give this little gem of a place 5 ⭐️. Air con units were a little noisy at night and towels were quite rough
Tranquil setting at the quieter end of town but still close enough to walk to restaurants and shops. Beautiful gardens and pool area. Detached villas nicely decorated and very spacious. Each with their own private patio area. Super friendly and helpful staff too!!

CanadaRead the fine prints for payment, they accept PayPal and cash. They are very accommodating if you need to go to the bank to withdraw. Avoid a surprise 😉 they accept USD and CRC.
The staff makes the whole experience wholly amazing! Very clean accommodations and the possibility to borrow forks and plates to cook something fast in your room. Breakfast is also very affordable! The location is only 8 mins from the Arenal National Park and that's an amazing hike to do while in the vicinity.

The Elisabeth who worked at the reception was super funny, and really helpful and with the positive energy all the time. The hotel without her would not be the same. Beautiful garden, view of Arenal, birds, pool and games for free-table tennis, futball and billard. We also had jacuzzi-it was great, would stay again.
