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.).

CanadaParking is outside. But we didn't have any issues as the neighborhood felt safe.
Very nice small hotel with good vibes. Nice little clean pool to relax after a day of activities. The communal kitchen is well equipped and super handy. More than the facility and location, the kind people run this place make all the difference. Zack, Manrique and the cleaning lady (sorry didn't get her name) were all so kind and hospitable. If you are looking for a true Pura Vida experience in Jaco, this is the place to be. It's the people who make the difference!!

FinlandWe really enjoyed our time in here. Our room was very clean, it had a very comfortable bed and good shower. We had a AC in our room which was SUPER! Love that! The hotel has a communal kitchen with everything, which is super nice that you can cook if you wish. Also the pool is amazing to swim and relax! The staff is amazing! They helped us with everything and arranged the best surf lesson ever! Highly recommend to do that when in here. Also the cleaning lady is the sweetest and she always made sure that our room was clean and we had everything what we need! Location is perfect in my opinion. It is about 7min from the beach and 10min from the city which makes this very calm and quiet place.You can easily walk everywhere but also uber is available and very affordable. When you go here, say hi to the cutest cat named Luna ❤️

SwitzerlandThe curtains let a lot of light sicker through.
The staff was super nice. The pool is a great way to cool off and everybody there is very nice and friendly. There’s only 8 rooms so there is somehow a little community with all of the guests staying there. 15-20’ to the centre and 5-10’ to the beach!

SwitzerlandWe did book a room with two beds but only got one bed. He offered to change rooms for the second night but we didn’t change rooms. They advertised it with “a free surf lesson” but when we were there they said that they didn’t do that anymore and that the offer just never got changed on booking.com
Manrique one of the staff checked us in. He was super nice and speaks spanish and english. The hotel only has around 8 rooms so it’s very niche and small and homey. The pool in the middle of the property is nice to relax. The location of the hotel is a good walking distance of 15-20’ from the centre of Jaco and 5-10’ to the beach.

United StatesNothing. Everything was perfect.
Location was amazing. Peaceful and a tiny bit out of the madness of the downtown. However, close enough to walk there in 8 minutes if you want to go out or go to the restaurants. Also only a $2 taxi or uber into downtown. The pool was very nice and well maintained. Loved it!

ItalyWe hade a fantastic experience. The place recently changed ownership and we were lucky enough to be the second guests of the new host Zack. He and the whole staff were absolutely great and accomodating in every aspect. The common kitchen is more tidy and organized than other places. The surf school (not directly affiliated with the hotel for the moment) is 5-10 minutes away walking, directly on the beach. The vibe is very communal, and you can easily find yourself sharing a meal, chats and good times with other people at the hostel as well as with Zack. The pool is a plus. The place has a lot of potential and we really think it will rapidly become a reference for surf house accommodations in Jacò. Highly recommended.

United StatesNo complaints!
This is a little gem of a place - only 7 or so rooms that are clean, minimalist but very comfortable. The pool is clean and inviting and a great way to cool off. The beach is easily walkable and we ubered to the downtown restaurants. If we weren't so tired, it would have been a pleasant walk. I so wish we had been able to stay longer! Highly recommend.

Swimming pool clear and convenient, it get sun during most of the day. Fully equipped kitchen, this is a superb feature in the area since most restaurants in Jaco are fast food. Rooms were big and clean, with everything you need. It is 5-10 minutes walking to beach and center, so location is great because you are close to everything, however very quiet and good for relaxing. Best part though is the owner Zack and his colleague Manrique: they help with absolutely everything and made our stance unique. You in Jaco, go there.

United StatesOur stay was perfect- I really couldn’t complain about anything.
My favorite place to stay in Costa Rica- I will be back! This boutique hotel is a short walk to the beach. It has a sparkling clean pool. We really enjoyed the mini fridge in our room- all of these things are great but the best part is the staff- we were treated like family and that personalized care makes all the difference! Perico Azul is the beautiful turquoise gem in the crown of Jaco.

United StatesEverything has been wonderful- I have nothing negative to say.
This is a boutique style hotel- gated entrance ensures safety. Sparkling clean pool. Shared kitchen. Comfortable seating area inside and out by the pool. We loved our stay so much we cancelled our next destination to stay a couple days longer. Short walk to the beach, stores, restaurants. One of the best places I have stayed at in Costa Rica (this is my 5th trip!) The owner makes sure you are taken care of and feel welcome and at home. Hot water, fans and AC and mini-fridge make the room extra comfortable. Beach towels provided. My son did the surf camp and loved it. We will come back!! They have laundry services offered as well.

Costa RicaI liked everything about Hotel Perico!
I loved my stay at Hotel Perico. The small and intimate hotel is in a quiet and secure location in Jaco. The front gate is always locked and I did not hear any noise from vehicles or animals at night. It has several seating areas and a dipping pool to chill and relax. When I arrived at the hotel, I was greeted by Soll, the charming and charismatic hotel manager. Soll also teaches yoga at several local studios and she is a great surf instructor (I did both activities). My room was comfortable and clean, the shower always had hot water, and the air conditioner worked well. There is a large common kitchen that is perfect for preparing your own meals. There was complimentary coffee every morning. The two maids deserve special mention. They kept the rooms, property and kitchen spotless, and were always friendly and smiling. Hotel Perico is in a perfect place for relaxing, while being only a short walk from the center of town and a few minutes from the popular south end of the beach. I will most definitely come back to Hotel Perico and look forward to seeing Soll again. Exclamation mark! :)

It's a small but very cozy hotel, very quiet yet 5min drive from the city center. There was AC in our room and the bonus points go to the central swimming pool :)
