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.).

Switzerland-
A good place to stay before or after taking the ferry. It has a nice pool, spacious rooms, and secure private parking. It's safe and has a motel-like feel. Conveniently close to the beach with plenty of nearby restaurants. Plus, there's a fridge in the room.

United StatesNo complaints-I really liked it there. But: 1 the football field(soccer in US). Is right across the street. Puntarenas played Liberia the first night I Was there. Must have been a great game! About 11pm when it quieted down. 2. From the outside, and a lot of the area, it looks pretty old and worn, but it really isnt.
The price was especially good, the location is fantastic. We had 2 rooms (4 people) for 2 nights. A little over $200 US. Right by the cruise ship pier and paseo de los turistos (a promenade with carts/stalls selling things right by the beach with a good sidewalk). 1.5 kilometers to the point and lighthouse, 1200CRC or about $2 cab fare. Lots of restaurants in easy walking distance. A small grocery and mini super 1 block away from beach. It seems they typically cater to Costa Ricans as there were no other Anglos there when I stayed but the reception staff spoke pretty good English and I can sort of speak Spanish. The rooms were shockingly nice, I really did not expect that at the price! Modern showers (hot water), tile floors and decent beds, mini fridge, air conditioning, cable TV, nice pool. not a resort but no complaints

GermanyUnfortunately, the fridge was not connected when I entered the room (which is not too tragical). There was not really a place to hang my wet stuff but luckily they hung them somewhere else for me. The shower in the bathroom was not good, almost no water came out and it splashed everywhere. Of course this is not the fault of the hotel, but the pool was almost always occupied by other guests who were very loud, beginning at 8am in the morning. And the surrounding of the pool is not very beautiful to relax in there for a long time.
The owner of the hotel is incredibly friendly, he helped me a lot with my future journey and could answer every question. Also the other workers were nice and helped me. The room was very nice and big with two beds, a table and a fridge. Much better than expected. The bathroom was also very nice in general and there was a pool.

FranceNo water!!! I had to use fresh water to finish to shower. The personal of the establishment doesn’t give a damn, no financial compensenation offered, not even a bottle of water to replace to one I had to use. Additionally, rooms are old. Really not good quality/price ratio, especially for this country. I don’t really recommend

NetherlandsThe room was gross. There were hairs on the floor and even in our bed. Besides that there were ants crawling over the floor and one of the towels had a few make up stains from someone else. We told an employee and she sent someone to clean our room again. But after that there were still hairs on the floor and when we opened the sheets of our bed there were more hairs in there. Really really really gross. Would definitely not recommend!
It was next to the beach.

RomaniaVery noisy, both due to other travellers staying at the hotel and the surroundings. Speaking of surroundings, I would definitely not recommend Puntarenas, it's a very run down place.
Very nice hotel, very clean and comfortable rooms with all amenities needed for a short stay. Probably the nicest hotel during our 2-week vacation in Costa Rica

United StatesWe stayed in this hotel as an overnight before taking the Paquera ferry to the Guanacaste Peninsula. The hotel was clean and acceptable. Certainly no frills but all we needed was a bed to rest our heads before moving on. This hotel fit the bill just fine.
