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 reviewVery nice view of the lake, coffee was available in the kitchen which was nice, very responsive host, excellent location despite the noise
A lot of noise at night from the bars across the street, but that's to be expected in a good location in San Pedro. When I arrived, there was a dead bug on the bed so i wrote to the host to make sure the beds were washed. He assured me they were and even offered to change the sheets again which I appreciated. Poor water pressure in the shower, and front door to the apartment was kindof broken / difficult to open.

Verified reviewWe had a very pleasant stay at Nicolas House! The location was great and really close to the arrival point of the boats in San Pedro. The apartment was spacious and clean and communication was always quick. The hosts were also really kind in helping us to plan our activities at the lake :)
Nothing bad about the apartment itself but it was a little loud sometimes because of the restaurants nearby.

Verified reviewBrando was so helpful at any moment. He brought us water, changed togas, bought us kitchen towels as soon as we asked. We loved being so close to the lake and restaurants. The music from the restaurant opposite may other you, but we liked it! Easy listening pop.
Needs a shower curtain and towels for the floor when it rains togo from outside to inside otherwise the floor gets slippery.

Verified reviewEverything- I couldn’t recommended Nicolas house more! It was beautiful, had a gorgeous lake view, and right on the lakefront near the restaurants. Brando (the host) even added little touches like an essential oil diffuser & went out of their way to bring me sugar, oil, salt, a lighter, and essentials. One of my favorite things is that booking this place supports the local economy and a local family (not going towards gentrification).
Nothing! I also felt so safe as a solo female traveler

Verified reviewGreat location. The host couldn’t have been nicer. When we arrived we had a hard time finding his place, and so he came down to get us which was very nice. Booking.com should’ve said where his place was located (right across the restaurant, “Sabina” - I think it was) Only two minutes away from where the transfer drops you off at. And he went out of his way to help us locate a restaurant that we really wanted to go to. Nothing was too much to ask.
I found a piece of paper in my bed signaling perhaps the bedding was not washed. It grossed me out. The shower was super slippery that I fell backwards and hit my head, just be careful. The view wasn’t all it was said to be… If you overlooked other rooftops and a lot of cables, then I guess it was OK.

Verified reviewNice apartment in great location, clean with great view. The owner really nice and responded all messages, they let me stay a bit longer after check out hours. Great balcony.
Loud, near building under construction so there were noises at late, it is close to party bars so a lot of music loud at night. But i was able to feel asleep:)

Verified reviewThe property manager was extremely kind and helpful. I had a payment issue and he was very understanding and went the “extra mile” to help me with something else I needed too. 11/10 service! What a legend! The location was excellent, excellent value for money, good views of the lake from the balcony and inside. I sat and watched the lake in the afternoon, which was very nice. Very happy stay! Great space, so refreshing after a long time travelling.
The bar across and just up road plays their music until exactly 11:30pm each night, and the shops nearby also start up their music around 7/7:30am, but I got used to it quickly and with ear plugs it wasn’t too much of an issue. One extra thing that could be added is an oven mitt or tea towel of some kind for when using the kitchen, but it wasn’t a big deal at all.
