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 reviewContext : We stayed there 3 nights. Not doing a retreat. This place is wonderful. The wooden construction are very nice. The staff is super friendly. The yoga sessions are great. The pool is clean and beautiful. The rooms are big, good looking, with everything you need. The breakfast are big and succulent.
You are a bit isolated to San Juan del Sur. It's 15 min by car. The hostel on the other side of the road has some shuttles. At night some neighbors listen to music at high volume. But overall it's a quite place.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! 🌿 We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay, from our wooden cabanas and refreshing pool to the yoga classes and hearty breakfasts. Our team will be happy to know their friendliness made you feel at home. We appreciate your note about the location and nearby music — Eden is tucked away in nature for peace and relaxation, while still being a short drive to San Juan del Sur. We’re glad you found the nearby shuttle option convenient. It was a pleasure hosting you for a few nights outside of a retreat, and we hope to welcome you back anytime you’d like another relaxing getaway! ✨ The Eden on the Chocolata Team

Verified reviewVery quiet and relaxing
There are no restaurant in the premises. You have to take taxi to go to town.
Thank you for your review. We do have a restaurant which is open all day from 7 AM until 8.30 PM. So there is no need to go to town for meals. There are even a few other restaurants on walking distance.

Verified reviewEden truly is a paradise! I felt relaxed the moment I arrived and saw the stunning ocean view. The bungalows are very comfortable and beautifully designed. I really felt like I was sleeping in nature. Breakfast was a daily highlight: super fresh and healthy! What made the stay even more special was the warm and personal atmosphere. The staff was always there for me. I absolutely loved the hikes to the nearby beaches and the massages I booked. Eden is the perfect place to unwind and recharge.
I honestly can’t think of anything – everything was fantastic!

Verified reviewBeautiful location surrounded by nature. The bungalows are spacious, clean and charming, with large, comfortable beds and quality mattresses. I slept like a baby. The food was fresh, healthy, and incredibly tasty! The staff was super friendly and helpful with booking my activities and transportation. The massage I added was deeply relaxing, and the yoga class was one of the best I’ve ever taken. Highly recommended for anyone seeking peace, nature, and self-care!
Absolutely nothing to complain about – except that I wish I could have stayed longer!

Verified reviewAmazing place! The owners have done really well to create what feels like a secluded jungle retreat without actually being that far from civilisation. The beds are so comfy, warm showers, AMAZING breakfast, staff are very friendly and attentive. Can’t fault the stay at all we loved it. Tranquillo vibes.
The location is slightly out of the hustle and bustle with not many other amenities around (we knew this before booking so wouldn’t say this was a negative). We thought laundry was quite expensive albeit speedy.
Thank you Josh. Really appreciate your kind words and review. It was great to have you at Eden.

Verified reviewThis place is amazing!! Incredible swimming pool with a view, beautiful rooms & bungalows. There is also a cold bath which is a great idea in this tropical weather. All in all the property is well taken care of. The breakfast was really good and the best is that they modify it, so everyday you get different musli & type of eggs. People working here are so friendly and helpful! The man at reception gave us so much of good advice about what to see in Nicaragua. We were not part of yoga retreat so cannot say much about this. But you don’t need to be into yoga to enjoy this place. We loved it here and would be happy to be back. Beautful place :)
Everythig was good

Verified reviewRelaxing vibe, great pool views, and delicious healthy and big breakfast! High quality bed and mosquito nets.
If you’re not in to yoga - it is centered around this so breakfast is only at 9 etc so be aware about this. You’re also depended on the shuttles/taxis but it’s fairly easy to get and you can get reliable phone numbers.
Thank you for your review. Happy you liked it. Breakfast can be always ordered earlier. Sorry if that was not clear enough. With gratitude, Eden Team

Verified reviewLovely staff, cabins, view, food. My kids loved the warm pool and I loved the big clean beds under mosquito nets. I would love to come back and take advantage of the yoga and resort meals on another trip.
Not their fault, but an asphalt yard opened up nearby and makes noise 8am-8pm. Not the pure jungle sounds I imagined, there is baseline construction noise anll day and no monkeys.
Thank you so much for your message. We really appreciate it. Happy you liked your stay.

Verified reviewWe loved the healthy and fresh breakfasts, the view was beautiful, the setting peaceful and out of the main town hustle. We loved the thunderstorms and rain that cooled everything down and gave us the cosy feel of camping. By the end of our stay we felt appreciation for what the establishment was but think it would be beneficial for guests to be fully aware of this being a yoga retreat before booking.
The vibe on arrival was incredibly strange, with us being the only two that weren't apart of the yoga retreat. However, the atmosphere lifted as the staff and yogi's came and went. Our cabin with a 'view' was set overlooking the staff quarters and car park, it was exceptionally hot and our fans needed manual resetting each time the power cut throughout the night. With our cabins position it was quite noisy as work was being carried out in the morning and cars/bikes pulled in and out of the driveway. Meal times are SET, everything revolving around the yoga retreat which is fine but they should really advertise it this way. It is not a restaurant where you arrive in your own time and order from a menu. FYI. No hot water but you don't need it, trust me SO MANY mosquitoes and no-see-ems so bring your bug spray!
