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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

BelgiumThe beds make a lot of sound when you move and the bathroom is really small for 4 people
The included breakfast was good and the swimming pool was also a nice addition.

United StatesThe hotel staff is very attentive and helpful. They had people waiting for us at the parking area to help us get tickets for the boat shuttle. Once we docked their was staff to bring us to the tour area to check in for the turtle tour we had that evening and then continued to walk us to the hotel. The rooms and common area were very clean. They had some umbrella and rain poncho available if you needed. It was great to have a pool to cool off in. Breakfast was very nice. The staff even brought breakfast to my daughter in her room since she wasn't feeling well. They really take care of all the details. Bring water with you since water here you can not drink.

United StatesThe location is decent, but it is a long walk from town, when carrying luggage or when you need to go back back-and-forth several times. The staff leaves the room keys for every room on a desk in the center, which made us feel a bit unsafe with leaving anything valuable in our rooms. There are no blankets only sheets but if you ask them, they will bring you a blanket. Staff is friendly overall a great value.
Nice room. The area is quiet. The pool and breakfast is located right next door and is nice. The kids enjoyed swimming while we had coffee by the pool. AC and fan were great. You do have to go to the other hotel to access staff.. laundry was a good price

SpainInitially, the location surprised us, being down a small dark sandy street, but otherwise the guest house itself is absolutely fine.
The guest house and room was very clean and comfortable, although there was not often staff around when we wanted to ask things, except at check-in. The entrance to the accommodation is down a small black sand street quite tucked away from the centre of Tortuguero, but with the advantage of being quiet and peaceful. A good breakfast was served in the guest house next door, run by the same staff, and we were also able to use the swimming pool there, which was nice. Overall, a comfortable, clean and very reasonablly-priced place to stay in Tortuguero about a 10min walk from the main street

CanadaThe tropical rain hitting the metal roof can get quite noisy in the morning, but I actually enjoy the sound—it adds a unique charm to the atmosphere.
The property is ideally located in Tortuguero, just a short distance from the beach and downtown. You also have access to the pool at a nearby hotel. The breakfast is delicious, and the staff is very friendly.

Staff was very helpful (specially a girl that went above and beyond to support our requests - sorry we don't remember your name). Breakfast was great and swimmingpool was available.

CanadaWe enjoyed our stay. We had someone greet us at La Pavona parking lot, get us to our boat ride to town, and then once there we were walked to the hotel which was very helpful with all the pathways to navigate. We also booked the canoe tour once at the hotel and enjoyed that. Our room was comfortable, quiet, and the breakfast was served at the hotel close by. All was good during our stay but it was very humid in the room which was to be expected with the heavy rain while there. The staff were great!

The coffee and water available. The breakfast and pool next door to use. The laundry service. Sitting on the balcony or at breakfast with monkeys around. One day a sloth was in the tree there. The staff were so helpful and Friendly. Free umbrellas to use in the rain. Towel hooks Although basic rooms, they are very comfortable, clean, daily towel change with towel art daily, free toiletries, sheet change every 3rd day. Excellent value for money.

Location was great; centrally located in Tortuguero village. Service was really good and great value for money. Very proactive in organizing tours with a great cooperation with Caretta Tours. Would definitely recommend booking the tours via the hotel, because the tours via Caretta Tours are excellent (especially Rubier and Richard!)

SpainThe bathroom looked dirty from the cement, the door handle broke and the key was hard to get in with and the hammock broke when my daughter was sitting in it. But its not a deal breaker, if I returned I would 100% stay here again.
Breakfast was great, location was perfect, and we booked 2 tours with Caretta Tours who they are partnered with, Dieago was a great tour guide, and we got to see monkeys, iguanas, cayman, many different types of birds and even a sloth at the end. We also went on a turtle tour and saw 6, and 1 laying eggs very special. My children enjoyed alot. The staff at the hotel were friendly and the pool was great for the kids. Thank you for a great stay!!
