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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

CanadaCan’t think of a thing.
Bright, modern airy rooms, large bathroom, good shower water pressure. Lovely central courtyard with many lounging beds, hammocks and a pool. Steps to a clean sandy beach, short stroll to many beachside restaurants. The breakfasts are hearty and delicious. We really enjoyed our stay, and extended it by a day as we didn’t want to leave this beachside paradise!

HondurasWe had a small invader in our roof (a kind of iguana) and we had to change rooms, but of course, this wasn't under management's control and they handled it very quickly.
We loved the hospitality, the treatment, the breakfast, and the immediate consideration for our wellbeing. Darren was a great host.

NicaraguaThe hotel is still under construction in some areas, which lends a less than full experience, but all will be finished soon.
Incredible staff! We were scattered with our needs and wants and the staff accommodated us beautifully. The courtyard is absolutely transportive - a slice of heaven. Food was delicious! This is a small, just 5 rooms, facility which creates a personal and safe vibe. I look forward to returning!

United StatesIt was under construction, which we were not made aware of prior to our visit. We were told when we arrived that there was some minor construction and that we would not hear much noise, although there was lots of noise during the day and before 8am. However, it didn't limit our use of the facilities. There was no hot water, which was a huge bummer. Booking.com did not inform us that there was no hot water, and when I asked the owner... his response was that "it's common, and most find it refreshing" assuming I should just deal with it. Was no apology for the misunderstanding or miscommunication. There's no housekeeping and the beds are very hard. Also, they only accepted cash. Booking.com stores my CC info and I was under the impression that I was paying through that platform. I was sent a message saying most places only accept cash and to use ATM's in Leon, but it was never direct or clear that "Jake's on the Beach" only accepted cash. It was general, and almost like a suggestion for me to have cash but not a requirement. One of the owner's, Rod, was our host. He was nice, friendly, and hospitable. The only concern I had was that he smoked often, and would leave cigarettes buds around, which we did not find professional. The incident that alarmed me was the last night. It was later around 10:30pm, and my wife and I were having a serious conversation sitting by the beach, when he came and sat right behind me smoking and drinking a bottle of beer. We do not smoke, and it bothers our lungs. He just said "disculpa me" and sat down. I think he was intoxicated, maybe, and just too relaxed around us. It wasn't professional. After taking a walk on the beach, we returned around 11pm and found that he had left his beer bottle in the sand and all lights out.
The location was great! Right there with great access to the beach. The vibe is more relaxed. We had the place to ourselves, which was nice. The pool was refreshing and was kept clean. The rooms were clean.

United StatesThis place was amazing start to finish. I felt like family, but still had privacy. The breakfasts here were some of the best meals I’ve had since I’ve been here. On top of that, Jake is there and he is just the best dog. I can’t recommend this place enough. Beach access with places to eat/drink in both directions. If that’s not your thing they have a kitchen and fridge for your items.
