Communication was a challenge
Susan_C
, Feb 2022
To start, I am english speaking only. The tour was supposed to pick us up at the hotel, but we were not told we would be contacted by phone to confirm. I had texted the tour operator directly upon booking, but phone number i was given did not work for me. I got an email saying they would cancel my reservation 15 minutes ago. I managed to get ahold of them, and they said they couldn't come to our hotel. They would send an uber and communicate via whatsapp. I don't have that but my companion did. He left his phone for 4-5 minutes and they cancelled to tour AGAIN because he was non responsive.
We had to take an Uber on our own dime to a meetup spot. The guide spoke english so quickly and switched back and forth into spanish so quickly I caught 50% of what he was saying. Which wasn't so bad because he was explaining at a grade 4 level including hand gestures. Destination sites were cool and gave a flavour of the region. The included food was decent, though nothing special. Overall the organization of the trip was stressful, and i had trouble with hearing the guide.

Didn’t show up!

Don’t book with them! The company called 9:30 pm the night before the tour and offered 10 am tour instead of 2:30 pm. Since we had another tour already scheduled in the morning, I said we couldn’t make it and he said he will pick us up at 3 pm. We showed up at the hotel lobby at 3 pm and learned that the driver allegedly showed up at 2:45 and tried to call our room and left. The hotel staff said they didn’t see them show up and no one called our room. They gave a refund; however, since it was last minute cancellation, we couldn’t book another tour and left the city the next day; therefore, we didn’t get to explore San Jose with a tour. I think we were the only ones on that tour that day and they didn’t want to drive out for us on a busy Friday night, so they pretended they came and didn’t. Very disappointing, will never book with them again.
Response from Host , Aug 2021
In Costa Rica on Fridays the traffic is horrible, we were trying contact you from 2:00 pm to inform you that we were going to pick you up 15 minutes before, we never got a response and there were other clients waiting for us, and for logistic, we can’t wait any longer. We really sorry. You got your full refund.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
