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 RicaThe one thing that I didn't love was getting to the hotel. Maybe I didn't do enough research but finding the property and then getting there was more strenuous than I was expecting. I am in my later 20s and I can't imagine many people (elderly, handicap, out of shape) being able to make it. There was a dock but I wasn't sure if it was Baba Yaga's or the neighboring property.
The views were absolutely stunning! It was practically impossible to leave the grounds. What made it even more difficult to leave was the wonderful service provided. If you didn't want to walk back into the main village a staff member would get you dinner, lunch, or anything you desired. Any help that I needed was answered and fixed within ten minutes. They helped me with setting up a hike as well as offered transportation

United StatesThe water in the outdoor shower was only lukewarm, which was a challenge with cooler than expected outdoor temperatures. The walk to the cabana downhill would be treacherous if not in shape.... and very, very slippery during rainy season. While not the fault of the owner, I do feel that potential guests should know.
The view was incredible, and simply laying in bed looking out may be the most memorable moment of our trip. The cabana was charming, and the outdoor bathroom was better looking than the pictures showed. It's easy to idle away time there, which could be made easier due to having the option to have staff get food to bring back to you.

United StatesAs mentioned in previous comments, its a (literal) hike to get there! Being in such a beautiful and secluded location does come with a price! It's a steep uphill and downhill (and this is coming from two pretty active and fit young adults!). They do offer to help with your bags and can deliver your food, but just be prepared if you're planning to go in/out of town often, it will come with a workout! Additionally, the managers can be a little slow to respond on whatsapp, so just make sure to text well in advance if you need/want something. They are both super nice and helpful, just wish they would be a little more responsive.
Absolutely GORGEOUS property! The views of the lake and the volcano were exceptional and all the glass windows looking out over it. The property was so lush and beautiful. The outdoor shower and bathtub were amazing with views that cannot be beat. The water pressure was amazing and the water got hot quickly. The bed was comfortable. Each morning, breakfast was delivered (eggs, bacon, waffles, beans) by the friendly staff (for an additional ~$6, which can't be beat!). They did have optional things you could add on (like massage or tours) which we did not do. They had free kayaks you could take out as well + staff which would deliver dinner you ordered in town for you. Overall, amazing property to relax at!

NetherlandsThe service isn't what you would expect from a place like this. They didn't make the bed, empty the bins or give you fresh towels. They also didn't ask if we want anything for breakfast. Which is all not a big deal, but you would expect something else from a place like this. Also there was a really nice fire place. When we asked if we could make a fire, they said it costs around 15 euro's...
The view and the outdoor shower is amazing. The bed is comfortabel. Definitley stay here!

United StatesAs several reviews have said, it’s difficult to get to the location but if you are fit enough, the views are worth the trouble, (maybe). It’s exactly 0.8 miles walk from the public boat dock to the front door of the property, through the famous San Marcos Alley and then uphill, then to get to the property you have to go down an extremely steep hill and there is no railing or anything to hold onto. From the top of the steep hill it’s then 200 steps down the steep hill to the lake and then back up another 200 steps and some terraced pavers to get to the cabin. The outdoor bathroom is up another 7-8 steps and the outdoor shower is up more steps from the toilet. If you have any mobility issues don’t even think about this place! There’s only a microwave and mini fridge, no kitchen or cooking equipment. You can get breakfast cooked by the staff at the property but it definitely wasn’t anything special. If you want food from a restaurant in town you have to take the same trek back to town or you can order and the staff will go pick it up and bring it back to you. Thanks again to Sebastian for all of his help and kindness. Considering the lack of services, and despite the amazing view, I think this place is very overpriced and would not stay again. There are plenty of other places on the lake with the same stunning views and that are easier to access.
The property was beautiful and the views were immaculate! Absolutely stunning lake and volcano views. I saw eagles and hawks and lots of hummingbirds and other wildlife. Also you can see the famous Eagle’s Nest yoga retreat from the property. The outdoor bathroom was cute and the shower and tub area were really unique and beautiful as well. The property was very well maintained and beautifully landscaped with plenty of outdoor areas to lounge and relax, including an area with a fire pit. The bed was very comfortable. This was definitely a unique glamping experience. Sebastian, the property manager met me at the basketball court and carried my luggage all the way to the cabin. He was a blessing because I never would have made my way down the very steep path from the road and then back up to the cabin.
