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.).

United KingdomThere was nothing to fault during our stay.
We stayed in one of the charming little wooden rooms, complete with an outdoor seating area and a hammock. The rooms were simple but beautiful, with a rustic charm. Having a fridge was a big plus for keeping our drinks and fruit cool. The location was excellent - less than a 5-minute walk to the beach and just off the main road lined with restaurants, cafés, and shops. Our host was incredibly friendly and clearly puts her heart into making sure guests have the best possible stay.

The room was great and we loved the view on the garden. The tropical garden is what drew us to the place and also it is one of the quietest hotels in Santa Teresa near the beach. It's close to restaurants and literally 50 meters away from Santa Teresa Beach. The staff was really helpful and recommended where to go for lunch and other activities. We had breakfast at the hotel it was included in our rate. I recommend the omelette!!

AustraliaOnly issue for some maybe the main bed is a mezzanine level up some steep small stairs/ladder. Think this only applies to the end hut
Very peaceful setting amongst the trees. Convenience of location to some cafes and restaurants(however the beach road is long so you need some sort of transport) The owner is super friendly and helpful. The accommodation is great, much better than the pictures show. The hut was large with a full kitchen. We were at the end hut and we could look out to see monkeys swinging in the trees from our bed. The balcony is great and large.

• Amazing breakfast options (costa rican, but also yoghurt/granola or omelette options). • Very helpful staff. • Great location in Santa Teresa beach (close to the beach, great for watching the sunsets). • We stayed in the studio, which is very beautiful and well equiped. Nice to have a private terrace.

United KingdomThe whole town had lots of mosquitos so we had to use bug spray wherever we went. The bathroom is open with no netting so we had to ensure we used spray always. Beautiful room with hammock.
Great plunge pool, set back from busy road so much quieter, near great Soda restaurant! Lots of animals in garden and Christophe kindly helped us with our travel planning.

Very nice property in a lush garden, with the plus that is located a few yards away from Santa Teresa's main road (that can be very noisy and busy at times) which made our stay at Hotel de la Luz very peaceful and pleasant. Our premium room was nicely decorated and well equipped (except for the shampoo/shower gel in the batroom) and so was the common area and patio where we had a nice breakfast every morning. The owner Jimena and her daughter are really lovely and helpful so I highly recommend this place if you're staying in Santa Teresa!
