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.).

HungaryThe road to the accommodation was a bit bumpy, but that should be our biggest problem. :)
It was an amazing place in the jungle, yet close to the main road and Puerto Viejo. Breakfast was always fresh, with delicious smoothies and crepes. All the staff members and owners were super nice and showed us attention. The villa was well equipped, comfortable and very clean.

PortugalYou need a car or a bike. It isn’t walking distance from main activities and the beaches.
The experience was amazing the bungalows are integrated in the jungle, you are surrounded by nature and animals. The rooms were very comfortable and with excellent taste. Not a lot of people so it made it feel very exclusive.

amazing location, just 3 min away from the main road . very few bungalows carefully integrated into the nature. Almost a jungle feeling with noise from birds and monkeys. a reduced modern style inside the bungalows (we liked the shower!) great little pool with afternoon bar & snacks. good breakfast. the french owners created something rare and special. thanks for great hospitality during our stay Paola and Raphael.

SwitzerlandOur stay at Satta Lodge exceeded our expectations. The villa we rented had the quality of a boutique hotel, with high-quality materials and excellent design—mixing French South West art of living style with local Costa Rican. The property is located in the jungle, very close to the beach, restaurants, etc., but thankfully not too close, allowed us to avoid noise pollution and extreme heat. The property boasts a stylish pool, great cocktails and breakfast. Special thanks to Brian, who provided us with top-notch recommendations i.e. restaurants, etc. Overall, this property comes highly recommended, and I would definitely go back anytime!

NetherlandsWow, what a beautiful and serene place this is! Luxurious bungalows, very clean and comfortable. The pool is so cool with all the plants. The restaurant is very good and breakfast is delicious. Just a jungle oasis outside of Puerto Viejo. Super friendly and helpful staff. We got great advice for our day trips and restaurants. One of our favorite places! Thank you so much!

CanadaThe rooms didn’t have AC, just an overhead fan but if you showered before bed it was enough to be comfortable.
This lodge was classy, had beautiful bungalows and the lovely lounge area in the middle was very well laid out…..there was ample seating, a refreshing pool and a good breakfast selection as well as drinks & tapas from 3-7pm. and all in a jungle setting. Bryan is a super host too!!!!

SwitzerlandWell, without any mosquito coil or repalent, we would not be able to sit outside in the evenings.
We liked everything and were very happy with our choice. The little house in the middle of the forest/jungle was amazing. It was so quiet. Only at 4 am the hawley monkeys were waking us up with their funny voices. Bryan recommend us a good place to eat dinners at Selvin in Punta Uva and we were in love in that place too. Having a car really helps. You can visit all these playas and a must see that is Cahuita NP.

Like an oasis in the rainforest, Satto Lodge has everything you need for a relaxing getaway from the busy Puerto Viejo. We loved the junior suite with balcony and outdoor shower, and the pool and restaurant area was brilliant. Finally, Bryan was very helpful in giving recommendations, booking us a kayaking trip and sending information via WhatsApp. We would 100% recommend Satto Lodge and would love to come back again!

United KingdomBecause of the jungle setting, it does get a bit bitey, so be prepared.
The lodges are lovely, beautifully made with huge bathrooms. The setting feels like you’re right in the heart of the jungle and you can hear howlers most mornings. The pool is a nice addition and the staff were really great, super friendly and created really nice vibes. Breakfast was yummy. Our fave place we stayed in all of Costa Rica!
