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 StatesThe rooms are a little sparse. They could do with more surface area for, perhaps, sitting and reading, and even a place to put your luggage. I have to agree with those who said that the beds are uncomfortable.
A calm and peaceful vibe. The yoga teachers were exceptional, and all of the staff were kind. I love the refreshing pool, and the yoga studio could not have had a better view.

United StatesThe accommodation part of Eden is not as excellent. The beds are uncomfortable and the towels are harsh. Although a retreat center it is very loud at night with noise from the hostel below blending in with the roosters waking you at at 4 am. The location is also rather remote making it hard to access the nearby beach ( 20 min walk ) or the town ( 10 Min drive / 7$ each way. The yoga and activities can be a hit or miss.
Eden is a wonderful retreat center with amazing views over the San Juan del sur bay. The yoga shala is beautiful overlooking the water. The food was also nice and homemade and we were eating together with all the other guests fostering a sort of community.

GermanyIt is such a lovely Hotel with cabanas, some of them with a beautiful sea view. They offer yoga classes/retreats which you can be part of, if you want to. The meals are held together in a family/friends’ like atmosphere where the manager, the yoga teachers etc. sit with you at the table and you are welcome to join or not. Everything is done with so much love and care and I can definitely recommend. They also offer excursions e. g. to Granada and one free excursion down to the center of San Juan del Sur and the Cristo statue. Highly recommended stay!!

SpainI noticed on my bank statement before I arrived that half the money had been deducted. Then on arrival the full total was also deducted. I was told that I will get the first payment returned in a week!! After using Booking.com for many years now, this has never happened and is not a good system for travellers. The onus is on me to keep checking daily to see if I have got my money back. I leave the country today so if there are problems, it will be difficult for me. Just don’t do it! No one else does. They take the card number to secure the booking and that’s fine.
It is a stunning retreat surrounded by nature. The communal areas are lovely. Everyone is encouraged to eat together so that’s helpful as a solo traveller. It’s vegetarian food and no alcohol. There are yoga sessions and a pool. Sublime

CanadaBring earplugs if you are sensitive to noise. The space hostel can throw parties from time to time and can get loud but earplugs did the trick.
The property is stunning, for the room being totally open I felt like the bug net did a good job and didn't get bitten whilst asleep. The staff are amazing, I had never done yoga before and it was a great experience Monica was really lovely and was great with all the different abilities. All the staff were so friendly and kind. The breakfast was huge so much food was different every day and really delicious. We didn't have the dinner but the other guests really raved about it and recommended doing the package. There is a shuttle from the space hostel across the street for $2 into San Juan del sur and was easy to get about. Really amazing stay we got engaged whilst in Nicaragua and staying here really made our trip so special.

SlovakiaLocation - muddy road with lot of pot holes and trash right behind the main gate. Far from city center, you either have to pay taxi ($10-20) or shuttle from theSpace or Casa Oro ($3-5). This accommodation does not provide free shuttle. Also, I am sensitive to night sounds and the main road was noisy for me, also there are parties across the street in theSpace over the weekends. Bring ear plugs. No drinks or food allowed to bring, so if you expect to bring your own food and/or snacks and drinks, it is officially not allowed. I'd say that the staff has a lot to learn about hospitality and services, meaning I was the one I had to ask, so lack of given information, it's good they are nice people and kind of laid back but impractical. For example, the shuttles that run to city/beach, I wasn't informed about them when we checked in and I specifically asked them about shuttles, we had to find the information on our own. We ordered surfing at 10am and when the pick up didn't come I was the one that had to go to the reception and ask what happened (rescheduled to 14), saying they couldn't find us (we were in the room), for me it is expected that the staff informed us. Also, we ordered taxi because we needed to be in the centre at 05:45am for shuttle and asked about the price, they said it is $5 dollars and didn't mentioned per person, luckily we had some Cordobas to give it to the driver. So, this is not a service that I would give rating of 10.
Overall cleanliness of the premises, cute dog and cats. Surroundings are tranquil, view from common area is beautiful. Own cottage with own patio where you can sit, enjoy, move. Rich 2 course breakfast, tea, coffee from 7am, filtered water. Net over the bed.

United StatesIf you expect to be downtown San Juan Del Sur every day, I might recommend an accommodation closer. If you don’t take the one free shuttle in the morning, expect to pay 5-6 USD each way in a taxi.
The property is beautiful and the staff were amazing. Great place to be a little further from the downtown area of San Juan Del Sur to enjoy a peaceful view. The property is on top of a hill and not every taxi driver can get up it, especially during rainy season. The hotel staff does have recommend taxi drivers and the were very available. We also enjoyed the two dogs and cats around the property. They were all very friendly and we made great friends with Taco the cat.
