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 StatesNothing. This hotel is a gem in Leon.
I LOVED this hotel. This was my last night in Nicaragua and such a great decision to stay at this hotel. Highly recommend. Gorgeous hotel. Staff is lovely, attentive, and kind. Upon arriving Francisco, at the front desk, helped me fix my booking (which I made for the wrong day) and he also helped me get my taxi upon leaving (so I wasn't overcharged as a tourist) and then just enjoyed the gorgeous facilities which I needed after a long week of travel. I enjoyed the cocktails and conversation in the bar with Jose in bar and reading in the patio and the pool and the breakfast in the morning. HIGHLY recommend this lovely hotel. There is security at night in front and felt super safe and cared for as a single female solo traveler.

GermanyPlease note that many (probably even most) rooms do not have windows. We were able to change to another one with a very large window to the patio. On check-in, it was very strange that we had to pay not only for the two nights we haed booked in advance, but also for a third night (check-in fee) which was later returned
Beautiful hotel in old style that had been embassy of the US long time ago. Very stylish in almost every detail, centrally located, and quite. Very friendly personnel, in particular the waiters for the breakfast, who gave us background information. Good breakfast in beautiful patio. Spacious room with high ceiling, excellent bathroom and beds (see below for rooms without windows). Convenient parking in the courtyard of another house just across the street.

AustraliaBreakfast was included but confusing as it was supposed to to just be the local version but kept changing
This was a fabulous place to stay in Leon; very close to multiple restaurants and the main square. It is quite safe walking around at night. We had a small room next to the pool which was mostly very quiet. Lovely garden area for breakfast or evening drinks The staff were very friendly and helpful. In particular, I highly recommend Milton at the front desk, who went out of his way to help us find a private car service to our next stop in El Salvador, as our extensive Internet searches were fruitless. (See below) We really appreciate the efforts that Milton made to help us. Claudio, from ‘Transport & Shuttles Nicas’, can be found on FaceBook, and he was far better and far cheaper than other corporate car services we found and he drove us in a brand new very comfortable air con car all the way through Nicaragua across Honduras and crossed two borders to get us safely and easily into El Salvador

United KingdomThe food was rather bland and sometimes slightly overcooked/burnt. This is really the only negative I would say about this hotel and it certainly shouldn't put anyone off staying. There are plenty of places to eat in Leon which are extremely reasonable. I just think the kitchen staff might need to get to grips a little more with breakfasts other than a traditional Nicaraguan one. There is a French and American breakfast on offer (for a small additional fee), which was OK but needed a little work.
La Perla is a beautiful hotel right in the heart of Leon. The staff were so warm and welcoming when we arrived. Special shout out to the lovely Isaac who was really attentive and kind during our stay. The hotel is in a perfect location to explore Leon. It's only minutes away from the heart of the town. When you return back to the hotel it feels like a little oasis of peace and calm. The pool is fabulous, if a tad chilly! But the hospitality of the staff was fantastic. We felt very well taken care of. Also a shout out to the lovely Jose who is one of the drivers the hotel uses should guests need someone to drive them either to/from the airport or beyond that. He was so kind and helpful during our stay and very happy to chat with us about local history along the way. He was completely fantastic!

United KingdomThere was really nothing not to like, but I did think it would have been nice to get an information pack with a city map, food menu and times, local info etc. I know you can use Google, but I just would have found it useful.
The property is so beautiful and the room was very cute and comfortable, with everything we would need. The staff, especially Isaacs and Miguel were just wonderful, they made us feel so welcome and were helpful with us trying to practice our Spanish! The breakfast was great and served in a gorgeous courtyard. We enjoyed time playing pool in the bar and having a dip in the pool. The location was ideal we could walk everywhere in town easily and felt safe.

United StatesOur room was comfortable, but it was lacking a window. It seemed to be the only room that didn't have a window so this may be unusual, but did surprise us.
The entire staff at Hotel La Perla was incredibly hospitable. Armando in particular, always greeted us and went above and beyond to make sure we had a drink and a positive experience, we also saw him make special centerpieces for a group celebrating at the restaurant. The breakfast was delicious, and both the servers and front desk team were incredibly attentive. The property is beautiful and perfectly located, within walking distance of everything.
