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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 StatesMosquitoes- even with repellant, had many bites. Lighting very low, almost dark, hard to read or see tiny things, need curtains for beds. Better ventilation- extremely hot at night, difficult to sleep - rooms are open in the front, but no windows in the back- so hot just recirculates with the fans. Beds are too small - need longer beds for taller people
Cleaning several times daily, nice decor, quiet at night, good location

United StatesThe rooms do not have an air conditioner, only a ceiling fan, which doesn't cool very well in the hot, humid climate. The room and bathroom were a bit dim, especially on the ground floor. Upstairs rooms are a bit brighter and with more natural light. The owners graciously offered to move me to an upstairs room after my first night, but I declined. They shut down the hotel promptly at 9:00 pm. All lights off. One evening another guest and I were relaxing in the garden reading and enjoying the weather when the lights suddenly went out. No announcement or warning -- just suddenly plunged us into darkness. (Maybe it was on a timer. I don't know). It was a bit unsettling. The rooms are supposed to be cleaned Tuesday and Saturday. I was there Sunday - Wednesday, but my room was not cleaned. Despite these minor complaints, I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, and thought it was a good value for the money. I recommend it, and would certainly stay there again.
This hotel is in a good location only about 2 blocks from the mercado and 3 blocks from Plaza Central. The room is modern and clean. The bathroom had 2 bath towels, a hand towel, and a terrycloth bathroom mat and bath rug, which is more generous than most places. The room also has a full-length mirror. WiFi worked well, and there are outlets by the bed. There is a shared kitchen and a lovely small garden with hammocks, chairs, and benches. The owners are an American husband and his Nicaraguan wife. She lived in the States for many years, so is fluent in English. She is also very kind and personable. The hotel is clean and quiet. I heard the occasional rooster, but no street noise.

United KingdomWe had no issues with parking there but if there are a number of cars it will be an issue. The property does advise that parking is limited and on a first come basis.
A super well equipped and well presented hostel only 5 minutes walk from the Basilica. Probably the best presented 'hostel' we have ever stayed in. We were lucky enough to have an option of a room with AC which we were glad to pay for in addition as it was super hot when we were there.

The WiFi was excellent . Comfortable communal sitting area with hammocks . Very good location close to the cathedral. We paid extra for A/C in our too was it was really hot in Leon. I would highly recommend this place to stay.

United KingdomThere's no A/C in the room and it was INCREDIBLY hot and that made it almost hard to sleep at night. There was not much ventilation in the room so day and night it was very hot in there.
The room was nicely decorated, it was clean and the place really well located. Also the kitchen in the hostel was well equipped, also very clean. We had super nice chats with the staff, they are a lovely couple and they care very much about the hostel and the guests' wellbeing.

BelgiumLocation is really great. Close enough to the city centre and yet sufficiently away from most of the city noises. Well organised hostel. Nice room.plenty of storage. Cold shower (but frankly you definitely do not need hot water in this heat). Great wifi. Ample room to relax in their inner garden. Kind staff who leave you at ease but are also very receptive to any questions you might have. In short: one of the best I've encountered in Nicaragua so far.
