How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewI stayed in one of the bungalows and overall had a pleasant experience. The room was a good size, and the bathroom was surprisingly spacious, with plenty of room for my things. Everything was clean and well-maintained. I appreciated that breakfast was included—it had a decent variety—and I received a 10% discount for lunch or dinner, which was a nice touch. The lobster burger was definitely a highlight! The A/C worked well, and there was also a ceiling fan for extra comfort. I really enjoyed relaxing on the porch with its hammock and sitting area. Best of all, it's located right across from the beach but still quiet and peaceful despite being surrounded by other buildings.
That said, there were a few downsides. As a digital nomad, the Wi-Fi was extremely frustrating—nearly unusable for work. The layout of the property includes odd steps and sloped walkways; I tripped or slipped nearly every day, so be cautious. While the lobster burger was great, the fried lobster I had for dinner was overly salty and the salad was soggy. Also, my shower didn’t have hot water, which was disappointing given how sensitive I am to cold showers.

Verified reviewWell maintained, lovely gardens, ha.mocks and swing chairs. TV actually had english channels. Host a very nice dutch gentleman. Right accross street from beach and a ship wreck u can snorkel to. Would definitely return here. Def order the lobster burger and a $5 cocktail.
Wasnt clear to me I had to show restaurant my check in voucher to receive the 10percent discount on food in their restaurant and staff there didnt ask for it so my food billl was more than expected. Only mention it cause it was my last night and I was then short of cash and struggled to pay all the bill. I had bought a small painting off homeless guy using up the rest before checking g out! My mistake!

Verified review- Good location on beach and lovely setting around the rooms with palm trees, hammocks etc. - Very good beach bar for drinks and good reasonable food in the Buccaneer (get the kingfisher carpaccio) - Decent breakfast with help yourself coffee and waiters were nice.
- Having to pay for water refills, even a glass of water with dinner or to refill a water bottle at the bar is ridiculous to be honest (been to many other cheap hostels around Nicaragua and drinking water is always free) Even one of the staff said they thought it was ridiculous - Extras are overpriced and better options can be found around the island. E.g. Bikes are $12 a day but had to return them as they were so low quality. Go to Franky Bikes round the corner for the same price and much better quality. - Shower wasn’t hot most of the time - TV didn’t have great signal so some channels didn’t work. It did have streaming services but the wifi wouldn’t connect. - Few lizards/ants in the room but maybe to be expected

Verified reviewThe lady managing and staff were excellent help, and took care of us well. The bed was comfortable and the ac was great. Hot water showers and breakfast included. The yogurt and fruit was decent . The bungalow we had first must have mold as we both felt it in our lungs, and the bungalow smelt like mold. We noticed the roof had damage so thinking there was mold in the roof. Didn't feel very healthy to be breathing in there . Quite a far walk in to town to get groceries. You can cab for cheap. The beach is right out front with great swimming! We noticed the price jumps around lot and isn't consistent from one day to the next. For the price it was okay, not exceptional due to the mold smell and how we felt after being in the room for a day.

Verified reviewThe cabins are very beautifull located and constructed, all though i didn’t expect to share a patio with neighbours. It’s in the middle of a lot of nature, with lots of birds and other small wildlife. The rooms were clean and spacious. It was close to a private beach, and the staff were very friendly.
The breakfast options were very limited, and often not all options were available. The prices in the restaurant were also relatively high, which was not completely related to it’s quality. It was also not very clear why a beer would cost more at the beach bar, then in the hotel restaurant. In general, it’s pricing policy is not very transparent.

Verified reviewClose to beach. Quiet. Nice restaurant and also a beach bar. Good food. Very friendly helpful staff
The bed had a ledge along one side, making it awkward to get in and out of. There is only one outside chair to sit on the veranda. No drinking water in the room Cats used the sand in the restaurant's outdoor seating as a litter box. I had to advise a mother not to let her child play as he was digging where a cat had taken a shit that morning. No beach towels

Some ( not all!)of the staff from the restaurant seem to have a bit too much attitude… or just very bored by their jobs.. a smile never hurts!

Verified reviewLocation. Beach. Room* The staff were all nice
*No hot water. (A;though my friend had hot water in his.) It was warm enough, so I didn't complain None of the activities the hotel advertised was available The staff wasn't very knowledgeable about the listed activities and local features. All these problems indicate an ownership that doesn't care much
