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.).

United StatesIt’s a little dated but pool was great. The breakfast buffet some items lacked some flavor.
The property location was great, right on the beach. Staff were great especially Juan and Sebastian at the pool bar and Jaime at the Italian restaurant. He had a great memory and on our second visit remembered what wine I had the night before and brought it starlight to our table.

Costa RicaThe ocean was too rough to swim in. I will not return based on the ocean. I look forward to swimming in the ocean but the waves were too big and crashed too hard.
Fiona was fabulous at 5 o’clock somewhere bar. She was energetic, attentive and very friendly. All other staff were nice including Manuel and the guys at the beach security gate.

United StatesThe bathrooms need to be updated. It looked like the vanity and mirror had been updated, but our room had a huge jacuzzi tub with a shower above that I'm not sure worked (we didn't try it). The tub was very old and jets were rusty. The separate shower looked updated, but the water pressure wasn't very good. It got the job done though. We would have appreciated better drinks and snacks service at the pool and beach.
The location was excellent. It is right on the beach and had the perfect sunsets every night. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were spacious. It was very quiet at night.

United StatesFood and lack of options
Ok but for a somewhat large all inclusive the options were very limited. In fact one night during a weekend the main bar was not even open due to a wedding. They extended the pool bar hours but not much longer. Food was highly average.

United KingdomExpensive for the all inclusive package. Bring mosquito spray as there are mangroves. Not many options for vegetarians.
Good location as the beach was outside the hotel. Clean room. Friendly staff. Good sized pool with swim up bar. Raccoons at night were good fun to watch. Food was ok, very American and probably great if you like that sort of thing. A la carte you had to book which was just passable as Italian food.

United StatesCannot think of anything I didn’t like.
Everything was handy and easy to access. Nice pool and lovely ocean just steps away. The bed, sheets and pillows were the best I have experienced in years! The room we had was easily twice as large as our room at Diria in Tamarindo. Margaritaville is a perfect place to relax and enjoy. Staff was great, as usual in Costa Rica.

CanadaHaving to reserve lounge chairs at 5:30am each morning to ensure we had a place to sit around the pool.
The proximity to the beach was perfect and the sunsets were amazing. The pool was a good size and a great way to cool down. The breakfasts were buffet style with lots to choose from. The rooms and grounds were clean and well taken care of. A shout out to the entertainment man Esteban...he provided us with fun pool aerobics and volleyball as well as taking us on a hike.
