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 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):
- 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.).

There is no water most of the time . The town is having water issues . San Juan del Sur beach is dirty and smell bad . The beaches around are better like playa Hermosa or El Remazo .
The only thing I like about this place was the food .

The only negative was that twice in 2 days the water cut off. The staff was very quick to respond and they fixed the problem very quickly.
Location was perfect. The property is one very short block to the beach and is surrounded by so many choices of good restaurants and shops.

Did not have parking for vehicles on site, I had to lease private secure parking for the stay. The rooms did not have their own entrance as we had to go through the restaurant.
Clean and tidy, also the property is close to the city centre.

Unfortunately, there's no parking area, only in the street which is something bad, even if there's a lot of vehicles outside, anything could happen. The good thing though is that they have a security person taking care of the vehicles that are only in front of the Hostel and Restaurant.
Comfortable and very clean. The service was great from beginning to end, this includes the restaurant as well.

The bed sheets were of poor quality with some holes/worn areas which was a shame, the bed was comfortable otherwise. The door to our room didn't close properly (gap at the top, was not a safety issue) which meant you could hear anyone in the restaurant downstairs. As it was low season we didn't really have too many issues but I can imagine if the hotel was busy that might have been a problem. Hopefully something the hotel can easily fix! As a vegan I was able to have the modified typical breakfast so it was nice to be catered for but a shame I couldn't have a choice as the others did. There was an outdoor shower and roof terrace but both seemed to be under maintenance - these would be great if they were open!
Great little hotel in the centre of San Juan el Sur. Room was nice with good wifi, air conditioning and private bathroom (w. hot water). The room also had a safe and hanging space for your clothes. Lots of plug sockets! Breakfast was also really good with a choice of 3 dishes (typico, pancakes and breakfast burrito) plus coffee or juice.
