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.).

A couple of restaurants in walking distance and the hosts (privately owned) are very friendly and helpful. We will definately stay there again when we are the next time in this area - highly recommended!

CanadaSince there was so much rain, would have been good to have more towels/door mats to help prevent making the floors so wet and muddy
Amazing find! Our host were more than accommodating for all of our needs. Their kindness and assistance will not be forgotten. Even though the rain/fog spoiled our view, it didn’t change the quaintness of the property and beauty of the domes. Would recommend if in the area!

BrazilThey don't offer breakfast and we made it ourselves, but talking to Wendy, they are still working on the property and the idea is that they offer it in the future, so nothing really to complain about it, we knew it before :)
Everything was amazing. The view is stunning, Wendy and Roger are very nice hosts and super friendly. The dome is abolutely perfect, it has a good size for a couple, hot shower, comfortable bed and a mini kitchen with coffee machine. We higly recommend it!

United StatesIf you need a pool, then maybe not for you. This property was perfect for us as we could just lounge on the deck overlooking the jungle and Arenal.
This is an amazing find! We have visited La Fortuna, Tabacon, Arenal area a dozen times over the last 20 years. This property is a gem. Amazing views, total comfort, great value.

United StatesWe loved our two night stay at the domes in Arenal. Roger and Wendy were lovely hosts and super accommodating. They had lots of helpful local recommendations that we used. The dome was cozy but spacious and ideal for our family of 3. The view from inside the dome and from the balcony is absolutely stunning. We even had a great time riding out one of the nights with heavier rains and thunderstorms. The dome has WiFi, AC, hot/cold water and a mini fridge. It’s also pretty new. They are building out a shared common space as well on the property that looks like it will be great when complete. Recommend and would love to come back!

United StatesI didn’t like that we only planned to spend one day/night in the area. There are many activities from the Butterfly Conservatory, the Mt. Arenal Observatory, Sky Adventures, hikes, public hot springs very close to Pura Vista.
Pura Vista Glamping was a great find and place to spend the night. Wendy and Roger were super helpful in helping us find a place to eat and in suggesting things to do while we were there. High recommend the Essence Arenal Jungle Night Tour right across the street from Pura Vista. It was an exceptional 90-minute tour with Aurelio. The photo was the view from our little dome deck

CanadaBeautiful property with an amazing view of Arenal Volcano. The hosts, Wendy and Roger, were so kind and accommodating. There are nearby restaurants and a small markets as well as activities. The Glamping yurts had a bed, futon couch, sink, fridge, coffee and tea, a/c, electrical and a shower. It was nicer than several hotels I’ve stayed in! And waking up to the volcano view every morning was breathtaking.
