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.).

AustriaUnfortunately the Spa area was under renovation, which was disappointing, as we planned to book some massage service after already some intensive weeks in Costa Rica. In addition the renovation caused some noise and dust close to the pool area.
Phantastic location in the middle of the rain forest. Pure nature, which was very welcome. Surprisingly we also had some tours included in the booking, which was not known, but of course much appreciated.

PolandVery poor customer service. The crew is acting like working there is a punishment especially in the restaurant. No smiles are all. It should not be like that in 4star hotel. Very poor and little diverse food for breakfast. Hard to believe they can’t prepare anything else besides eggs and pancakes. Renovation during your stay.
Perfect and unique location. Very nice bungalows with now windows- open space with a jungle view (there is mosquito nest).

United KingdomThe food was not that good . Breakfast needs to be buffet and the covid screens need to be removed now . The lack of choice for meals was disappointing and the food was often not hot .
Location was fabulous - there were monkeys and iguanas outside my room ! The setting is lovely and all of the Staff were very helpful the reception was delightful. Bungalows beautifully maintained and situated .

CanadaWifi was not the best. It was also very hot in the rooms and a fan did not cool it down. I also tried to book a turtle tour twice and was not given clear information/direction on both occasions. We tried to book through another tour agency however this was a hassle because we were not staying in the town. On the third attempt to book the tour with our hotel we were finally given clear direction; we need to book a day in advance, once we are booked in for the tour, we will be given a concrete time (a few hours before the tour begins). In the end, we missed out on the experience. This was very disappointing.
Private bungalows with ceiling fan. Lots of wildlife and tons howler monkeys. Beautiful property with a great pool and spa. Meals were buffet style and tables were pre-assigned so no struggling to find a place to sit. Food was terrific. Loved all the food and drink options.

ItalyIt was a bit touristic because many big groups of organized tours stay there. It lost a bit of charm because of that
The location of the hotel was amazing: bungalows right in the heart of the jungle. It was possible to see and hear a great variety of animals. Experience absolutely recommend

AustriaLarge lodge used by tour operators, impersonal staff, less than average food, ugly dark dining area. Definitely the worst accommodation we stayed at during our Costa Rica trip. However there is not to much to choose from in Tortuguero NP. The whole area is very touristy. The tours start at same time, a lot of tourists and boats everywhere to spot wildlife.
The many bungalows are spread in the rainforest. There can be wildlife occasionally spotted at the lodge especially monkeys and birds.

Sri LankaThere are just moscitonets at the windows, I missed a moscitonet over the bed, because there are a lot of moscitos, so don`t forget the moscitospray.
I stayed there for one week, what is quite unusual, than the guest stays normally for 2 nights. I really enjoyed these beautiful place and saw some tucans, sloths, armadillo, spidermonkeys, howlermonkeys, frogs... The staff was very kind and organised some tours for me or created an other dish, than at the buffet, what I really appreciated. There is also a Spa, what I recommand, they do some really good massages.

GermanyAs everywhere in Tortuguero you need a water taxi to get to your destination, which could be a bit inconvenient. Also, bathroom does not have any storage capacities, no shelves etc.
Big property with wild life and various vegetation, bungalow size was reasonable. Highlight was the cake that kitchen staff prepared for the birthday of my partner upon my email request free of charge :)

United StatesFrom the moment of our arrival until our departure, we felt as if we had entered a lavish retreat and were treated like VIPs. The fine accommodations, delicious meals (best we had in CR), wonderful tours, and staff's passionate care and attention to every detail, made this part of our journey exceptional. A special shout out to Dai and Bernardo whose warmth and expertise are unsurpassed in our travels. We saw wildlife we would never have seen on our own and gained much knowledge from the experience.
