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.).

CanadaThe only thing that I didn't like was the sound of traffic in our room, as it was the closest room to the road. At least the traffic was only during the day and quiet at night.
As we stepped into Tierra Magica, there was a gentle breeze with a sweet calmness surrounded by beautiful gardens, lovely architecture and divine earthy art. The room was impecable with a great shower in a beautifully designed solarium and I loved that the room had a fridge! The Breakfast was excellent in a beautiful courtyard. Wonderful staff, very attentive.

Otto and Barbara, the owners of this lovely property, are very welcoming with smiles, helpful with any questions you may have and friendly!! Lourdes and Diana are always ready to prepare your breakfast with friendly smiles as well! Great and interesting art work all done by Barbara over a period of more than 20 years displayed on the walls ! Town center of the old Escazu is less than 5 minutes walk… love the restaurants…Sin Domicilio Fijo and Las Posada De Las Brujas! Of course, modern city of Escazu is nearby … 10-15 minutes drive!

United KingdomThe room is a little basic, could do with a freshen up but was fine for a night. The parking area was tight (maybe psychological as we'd only just picked up the hire car!), but secure behind gates which gave peace of mind.
We booked Tierra Magica as a pit stop after landing at SJ airport, before heading down to Manuel Antonio. The view from the balcony, service and breakfast was fantastic. There's a large seating area downstairs should you want a space to relax outside of your room.

Costa RicaWe really enjoyed our stay at Tierra Magica B&B. The room was especially lovely with the owner's artwork and very comfortable. It was an easy walk to shops in Escazu and the garden and breakfast area were welcoming. This may become one of our go-to hotels to stay at when we're in the San Jose area.

United StatesThe location is a short walk to old Escazu, but traffic around town has grown since my visit last year. Unfortunately, the B&B, on a busy route, receives more noise.
The hosts are friendly & helpful. It’s a vintage casa with colorful gardens and unique art displays. My room and bed were very comfortable, overlooking the private garden & tall trees where many birds visit.

Costa RicaDifficult access to get by your own car because narrow streets and lots of traffic in Escazú. You have to get out of your car if you need to open the main gate because you need to enter the house to press the button to open it. Absolutely not functional during rainy season.
Very nice spot near Escazú and 27 route. Friendly staff. Nice and comfortable room.
