Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

IsraelThe place is overpriced.. For such price for a room I was expected that there will be hot water in the bathroom.
Breakfast was OK; For lunch you will pay. Because there is no alternative place for lunch and diner, you will eat in the hostel restaurant. Take into consideration that everything is overpriced,

American SamoaNo complaints.
Built into the crater wall that encircles the lake, this little resort functions on various levels, literally. Pleasant landscaping from the road down to the beautiful water. The restaurant food is 'tan rica' even if the tasty cocktails 'no son muy fuertes'. The fish and the shrimp are great as is the 'desayuno incluido'. I loved hearing the Howler Monkeys up on the mountainside from late in the afternoon until after sunrise. Good birding out on the main road, too.

IsraelNo beds to lie down and sunbathe, only chairs (which to be fair we're comfortable). I wish the menu had more variety.
Beat beach front out of all other hotels in the area, a lot is seating. Very well kept and clean, rooms looked new and were spacious and comfortable. Reasonably priced food when taken into account that you are pretty far from any supermarket or restaurant.

United StatesThere could have been more social activities for the hostel. But it was okay. Everyone was just doing their own thing and relaxing.
Loved that staying here included the day pass and use of the kayaks! You can also arrange transport which is very affordable and convenient. The lake and nature are beautiful. And you can experience a really beautiful sunrise and stargazing

Amazing location right on the lake. Free kayak and SUP rentals. Nice spot for swimming. This is more like a resort. The drinks were good, the food just OK for the price. I opted to have dinner at a nearby local restaurant that was half the price for a very nice meal.

United KingdomVegetarian options for lunch and dinner are quite limited when you're staying for more than one day. Every time I come it seems to get more and more expensive (understand that everything costs more these days, but the prices feel quite inflated year on year). Can't understand why they don't include the VAT prices on the menu, and the 4% card charge feels sneaky. Plus there's an obligatory tip - all very US American which is odd when we're in Nicaragua and the owners are French!
Been here many times and keep coming back for the beautiful setting, great facilities, and different activity options. Recommend staying as lots of daytrippers come, but in the mornings and evenings its very quiet and is ideal for enjoying the peace of the laguna.
