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.).

United StatesThat the pool was a part of the restaurant, it the resort so you have to pay extra or eat there to use it. It turned out to be ok because we ate there but it was a little uncomfortable at first when someone an ousted us as if we weren’t supposed to be there. Also we didn’t like that we were in the higher priced main building but we had to go a very long way down a road to a pool on the back side of the resort to find our breakfast
The beach and the clean rooms.

United StatesThe door knob was not operational and would not open after being shut. During this time half of our group was locked into the room while the other half was locked on the outside. We tried calling the property and were not able to get anyone on the phone and had to hunt for someone who worked at the property to get us help. The issues was finally resolved over an hour later. The TV in the cabana did not work. Even after the maintenance team looked at it the TV was not operational. When we went to the beach access we were told we could not use the showers at the main Shore plantations hotel to get the sand off of us before getting in our car to drive back to the cabana. When I booked this room I was originally looking at rooms at the hotel and only selected the cabana so we could all be together. I was unaware that we could not use this facility and find it outrageous that these outdoor showers would be off limits as we also were staying with Shore plantations.

HondurasThe location, is NOT FRONT the beach, so if you want to go to the “beach club “ you need to pay an extra fee ( 5 bucks per person and 5 bucks for parking ), the facilities wasn’t clean at my arrival time …
Actually I didn’t like anything , reservation include breakfast but is a low cost option, better to eat something outside the facilities.

United StatesHow did you find communicating with Honduras Shores Plantations (if applicable)? None of the phone numbers listed online work. They are all disconnected. I had to go into reception and ask them in person to give me a working phone number. Also, at the time of check out, there was no one working. I had to give my room key to a guard. How quiet was your room? Not quiet at all. On Saturday night, after 10:00 PM, there were multiple ATV's, Jeeps, and "side by side" vehicles on the beach, shining their headlights directly into my room and driving around all over the propery with loud exhaust and music playing. I complained to the reception and the guards about the noise and they did nothing to help me. They didn't even speak. They just looked at me while I told them about my problem. Also, the glass on my balcony windows was broken. I will attach pictures.
Staff The staff was very unapologetic about all of my problems. They did nothing to help us. The security guards on the property are like bullies. They follow you around everywhere you go and "intimidate" you with their presence. At the time of check out (10:00 AM), there was no one working in reception. I couldn't even properly check out. I had to leave my keys with one of the rude guards. That is horrible customer service. Facilities The website lists a swimming pool as an included facility. But when we got there we were informed that to use the pool it is an extra charge. We were also told that we are not able to use personal coolers on the property, which was not listed on the website. Cleanliness There was trash and litter all over the beach and the hotel grounds. It was disgusting. Comfort Flat pillows, beds and mattresses so old that my back hurt, couldn't adjust the A/C and it was freezing cold all night. The beds had paper thin sheets that didn't keep us warm. Value for Money Honduras Shores Plantations is one of the most expensive hotels in all of Tela and it is one of the worst. There was no value for my money. Location Honduras Shores Plantations is located in a dangerous neighborhood of San Juan. One morning while we were driving out of the neighborhood and into town, we were stopped by the locals. They had made a "make shift" road block, forced our car to stop and made us pay a cash bribe before they would allow us to continue. I had my two daughters with me and this is unacceptable. I understand it is Honduras, but that was a dangerous situation for us to be in. How comfy were the beds? The beds were horrible. My back still hurts. How did you find communicating with Honduras Shores Plantations (if applicable)? None of the phone numbers listed online work. They are all disconnected. I had to go into reception and ask them in person to give me a working phone number.
