Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Costa RicaThere is nothing walking distance, so you most probably need a car. Some noise from cars and trucks on busy road below. But even taking this into account it is still 100% worth it just for the view. Definitely wish we could stay longer and want to come back.
Stunning ocean view. Suite had wall to wall glass doors and from the moment we opened the door we were greeted with a beautiful ocean view. Loved the balcony and specially the small private pool. We enjoyed seeing small fishing boats as well as bigger ships lined up for their entrance to the Puntarenas dock, and we even saw a couple of macaws flying by. Very pretty decor and furnishings with lots of wood and nice details such as flowers in the bath towels. Good to have small fridge, microwave and hot plate.

United StatesWe stayed 2 nights at Unit #1 and had a great relaxing stay after a long drive from Corcovado. Unit #1 is the most private, and Laura was super welcoming with excellent communication. The space was sparkling clean, and the small kitchen was a plus. The sleeping space was ample, and the bathroom/shower, open to nature, was a real treat. The location is great, close to beaches and the national park. The only drawback is the noise from heavy trucks on Rt 1 when sitting outside, but luckily, they don't drive much at night, and the room was quiet and peaceful. We would definitely recommend it to anyone traveling and staying in this part of Costa Rica.

PhilippinesRight off the highway, so you can hear the sounds if you leave the doors open.
The room was massive, clean and well appointed. Looked just like the photos but more spacious. Right off the highway so it was easy to reach after driving all day and after dark. Loved the view and all the amenities. You can stay for a very long time if there for work reasons.

BulgariaThe place is a bit far away from good restaurants. But it is ideal if one needs to switch off from the daily grind.
The place is surrounded by nature! It’s is very calming, beautiful and charging. Each morning we were visited by an iguana on the terrace! The sunsets were stunning.

Suites 5 & 6 are private, have great views and by far this has been our favorite stay during our time in Costa Rica. Did not want to leave.

United Kingdom- More of an advisory for other potential guests, but I had some issues completing the payment with my international credit card (UK mastercard) over booking dot com. We resolved the issue in the end by me paying in cash at the property. Though I would advise the host to never send out external links for a bank transfer as was attempted, as there are many scams on booking dot com that do just that. - There was some construction work being done at the property when we arrived which we weren’t told about in advance. We appreciated that they tried to keep noise to a minimum, but it might’ve been more of an issue if we stayed longer than 1 night.
We were in two minds about staying a night in Tarcoles, but I’m glad we did as there is plenty to see in the area. The suite is perfect for 1-2 nights, and certainly looked like the best option to stay in the area. We also saw plenty of wildlife from our room which is always a bonus. Laura was a very responsive host and even let us check-in earlier than what was originally planned.

Amazing experience!! Super comfortable suite all equipped in a secluded area, everything has being well thought out and it's like being inside a small zoo, from our deck we got to see different birds, fireflies in the night.
