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 KingdomIt is quite a steep steps down to the waters edge (you are in a volcanic crater after all!) So might be difficult if infirm. Rooms VERY hot as they have solid plastic windows that don't open. Fans are ok, but expect a sticky nights sleep. Can have a/c for an extra $10 a night. I can't sleep with a/c as I find it too cold, but it's needed to cook the room down in the first place.
So good we stayed here twice as long! Truly and amazing location: you can see most of the caldera. The water is warm - can be super warm in places where the volcanic springs go into the lake. Reasonable price for drinks and food (remember to add tax!). Wifi good. Howler monkeys nearby (but not too close). Didn't seem to be many biting insects. Lots of ospreys and other birds. They have a brown labrador that is v friendly and will stick close to you of you take her swimming and throw stones in the lake for her (someone please take her a rubber ball or some old tennis balls!). It's amazing how she can climb on the pontoons! Lots of fish, take mask and snorkel. They will give your feet a spa treatment if you sit still!

United KingdomKitchen was okay but not amazing - lacking basics (eg no cutlery so always had to go to the restaurant to ask? Strange set up).
The location was stunning - beautiful gardens and lovely lakefront property so perfect access to swim. Pontoons in the lake plus paddle boards and kayaks all for free use were great fun. View from our room was lovely. Bathroom was nice and very clean, same for our room which was a pleasant temp at night thanks to two fans. Staff were always very friendly

GermanyTiny things, the smell of cleaning agents was a bit strong in our room and the filtered water was empty so we had to buy bottles.
The Laguna Beach Club has two faces. During the day it is a popular spot for families and groups to hace a party and enjoy the Laguna de Apoyo. If you are looking for a quite spot to relax, it can be a bit too much during the day depending on the day. Still, the free kayaks are great and the warer of the laguna very clear and wonderful. The day visitors leave around 6 pm and don’t arrive before 9 am. Between these hours, the spot is beautiful, quiet and a bit magical with howler monkeys and Nicaraguan birds waking you up in the morning. I would recommend it again. The personal is very helpful, kind and very approachable.

NicaraguaIt gets really loud and crowded during the day. Restaurant and bar close at 6pm, so you might not be able to get food and drinks when you come back from a daytrip and want to hang out at night.
I have stayed at Laguna Beach Club about 10 years ago and had a great time. Since then it has heavily extended its day tourist business which makes the place pretty busy and not very quiet and relaxing during the day. We did day trips to escape the crowds and it was beautiful and calm in the mornings. The lagoon is one of my favorite places in Nicaragua. Laguna Beach Club is affordable and staff is very friendly and accomodating.

GermanyThe dorm rooms were dark and uncomfortable and the air was just not good in the room. Maybe it was because of some people there. The hostel maybe has no guilt
We liked the outside area... You can hang out at the beautiful Laguna and use stand up paddles, Kajaks or just lay there on the sunbeds. The staff there were so friendly and got helpful tips! We loved the iced coffee :) Everey bed in the dorm has a fan and big lockers with keys for your backpacks. Nice food also there to order!

Great facilities and all very clean, good kitchen to use, free coffee. Not really a beach club, more of a hostel with access to the beach and day visitors, which was perfect for us. Monkeys and interesting birds everywhere.

Super nice staff,all speak english one even german, its very good build place and defenitly worth the money, next to the lake with many tables, hangmocks, benches and other places for chilling, the dog of the property "Kika" is very social and can swim quite good, also probably is smarter than some of the visitors 😁

IsraelRestaurant is open only until 6pm. Bring your own food! We didn't. Can eat outside but not many options. In the kitchen are there were a lot of moskitos. Need to ask for some kitchen stuff in the reception as they are not available at the kitchen itself (we didnt know that). No hot water in the shower and pressure is low.
Great place for a hotel on the lagoon shore, access to the water. We stayed at the private room with private bathroom but most of the rooms are with shared bathroom. Staff are very nice. Room is good, with AC. We spend great time diving and hiking by the lake.

United KingdomFood was terrible and there were also no breakfast options, so we were perpetually hungry until a hostel down the road opened to non-resident customers (at midday). The kayaks and paddle boards could do with better maintenance.
Good location on the edge of the lagoon. Family room was fairly comfortable with air conditioning available (for an extra charge) and the shared bathrooms were regularly cleaned. Free water sports activities (kayaks and paddle boards available).
