Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Location was phenomenal with perfect view of Volcano San Pedro and stunning views of the lake. They also provide complimentary SUPs and Kayaks. The owner is present on site and very friendly engaging with the guests.

I can confidently say this is one of the top 3 places I've ever stayed in my life! The location, the staff, the food, the scenery—and the hot tub—were all incredible. It was a truly rejuvenating experience. This place has super nice energy, And gosh,, the dinner was the best!!! Also, the manager sisi was very kind and welcoming us also gave us information on time. I would love to go back very soon

IrelandThe room was quite damp, even the bed clothes were a little damp after a few days. A dehumidifier would be a great addition and make the room 10/10. Location is a little awkward for getting groceries, and there's not much going on within walking distance. But it's very chill and there are regular boats if you want to go to another town on the lake.
Really nice room with everything you need to relax at the lake and cater for yourself. The staff were great and very helpful. Views over the lake are amazing.

IsraelVisitors should be aware that the lodge is accessible only with boats. This actually an advantage because the isolation is part of the charm. But private boat rides come with costs.
It is a beautiful place in the quiet side of the lake, charming rooms and a great restaurant. The views of the lake and the walking trail are stunning.

It's everything I've wanted, tranquil, serene, comfort and relaxed, one of my best experiences at lake atitlan! Very inspired by the owner's story/life at the lake! I stayed 2 night at the studio and it has everything that I needed. The restaurant offers pretty good options.

United KingdomThe two docks and Sun loungers and communal hot tub were a bit more scruffy/weathered than in the pictures. Not sure if this was due to it being the end of the main tourist season, or perhaps some bad weather. Also the hot tub in our apartment on the balcony was dependent on there being enough hot water to fill it, which there wasn’t. So it’s probably better as a cold plunge in hot weather 😅 Finally, there were lots of dead fish in the lake. Not the properties fault but was just a bit sad to see.
We really liked it here. Was great to have a private dock and terrace with access to paddle boards and kayaks. We stayed in the treehouse apartment which was gorgeous and definitely one of the nicest apartment of our 6 month trip. It was very clean and well stocked kitchen with all the appliances and crockery for cooking at home. Best to do a big shop at the supermarket on Panajachel as there is nothing in Santa Cruz and it’s about a 35 minute walk away.

United KingdomStunning location. Loved our room and balcony. Wonderful sun loungers looking over the lake. The room was big and airy with a breathtaking view of the lake and volcanoes. The bed was comfortable and bathroom clean and well appointed. The restaurant food was delicious although understandably a little limited in choice. I believe our room (GS Studio) was about to be renovated. Small updates could make a huge difference e.g. no wardrobe space and the cupboard doors and drawers didn’t open. The patio doors were really stiff. The kitchen utensils needed updating. The WiFi password wasn’t obvious. All minor issues which didn’t detract from our stay.

United StatesIt is apartment style so you do have to clean up a bit (i.e. wash dishes) before you check-out. They make it seem like they'll charge you extra if you don't clean up adequately.
Stunning property with a few happy but elusive resident cats. Although there are limited choices at the restaurant, the food is fresh and tasty. They make the bread from scratch every morning! The common areas are never crowded so you can always find spaces to lounge, read a book, get away from the sun if you need to. It's about a leisurely 20 minute walk on the shore line from the main town - the path was well maintained and felt safe (although parts aren't very well-lit at night). I would absolutely stay again and do highly recommend.
