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):
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 StatesWe were staying in a double room, which was very small. The furniture was outdated and small. The bed was a little hard. We also had plumbing issues with the toilet. The maintenance guy came to fix it but it still had problems.
We stayed for 3 nights. It was a good value Oceanview diving resort in a quiet area with a restaurant/bar. Our lodging included breakfast. My husband and I were welcomed by Jorge when we checked in who was very friendly, welcoming, and informative. He also was our dive master during our first day diving. We went on 2 dives with Jorge, and we were the only divers. The boat was comfortable, and Captain Nathan was friendly and helpful. We went on 2 more dives with another dive master, Julie on the next day. We had a wonderful experience on all the dives. The dive equipment were in good condition. The scuba diving rates with equipment included were reasonable. We enjoyed hanging out in the bar area during sunset. We can view sunset on the top floor of the bar. The bar is spacious with a lounging area and people come not only to drink but to relax & snorkel. We ate breakfast and dinner at the restaurant. The food was good. Overall, we had a pleasant stay.

CanadaPictures show 2 pools, however, they were under maintenance for the duration of our stay. We booked it specifically for the pools since the kids don't like the ocean as much, so that was disappointing.
Very nice hotel, right on the water. A bit out of the city, but walkable. Very quiet for a good night's sleep.

El SalvadorStaff at the hotel seemed rather uninterested in their guests, would be nice to feel a little more welcomed/ attended to Tuktuk was not waiting at dock as promised Skipped breakfast b/c of strong smell of old fat from kitchen ; asked for a coffee and received a mug filled to the edge of what seemed cheap warmed up coffee. With a good manager and staff training these are minor things that can easily be improved - facilities and location are perfect for those who want to be outside of town
Our purpose was to explore the other side of the Island - so the included kayaks and snorkel Equipment and Location was Great! Absolutely fantástic is Tera , the Manager of the Dive Shop!

United States1) We found a few large cockroaches in our room when we returned from the day. Not too big of a deal since we are on a tropical island but our room was on the third floor so a bit unexpected 2) The staff was overall rude/unavailable at the reception and breakfast areas. example: On the day we arrived, we had communicated with a member of the staff the night before that we would be arriving at 9.30 am and they confirmed that we would be able to leave our bags at reception. Unfortunately there was no one at the reception office until 11 am to allow us to leave our bags or check into the room. 3) breakfast is on order only so if you have an early morning dive and want to grab a quick something to eat beforehand, they were unable to accommodate me with any small item to go 4) The hotel is in a great location if you’re looking for a more secluded spot but not great if you would like to go into town for restaurants or bars. It is about a 15 minute drive to get into town and you have to call the tuktuk taxis to come pick you up (approx 50 lempira per person) or rent a golf cart 5) Although the hotel has a scuba diving center; it seems to cater more to larger groups coming to the hotel rather than 1-2 solo divers looking to join a dive - you’re better off booking dives with the dive centers in town if you’re looking for that. 6) The rooms are crazy expensive compared with other nicer hotels in town
Loved that there is a beautiful coral reef you can snorkel at right in front of the resort! The hotel also has a great pool and beach bar that is always serving great drinks and food. the rooms were comfortable and both the AC and the hot water were working. The breakfast at the hotel was ok.

SpainIt might be a bit overpriced with other places compared to what they offer. Reception check-in/check-out could also be improved.
Despite it is a bit far from the town center, the location is amazing, one of the best in Utila with the Coral Reef accessible from the hotel. The town is also at a walking distance by the sea. The team is very nice, specially Cecilia and Henry took good care of me and were extremely helpful.
