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.).

BelizeFrom the warm welcome at check-in to the friendly faces throughout my stay at Almond Beach was truly exceptional. The two gentlemen at the front desk went above and beyond, making me feel valued and at home. Despite some disappointing past experiences touring in my own country as a local, here I was treated like a guest who truly mattered. The property, the service, and the atmosphere were all perfect, I had previously booked for one night and went ahead and extended my stay. I will definitely be returning! And highly recommend!

United StatesBecause we asked for 2 separate beds, 2 of us were placed in 2 overly spacious rooms - one with queen and one with king bed. A single room with 2 beds may not be an option. Very disappointed that windows designed to open were sealed shut. At night, open, screened windows would have been a bonus. The concierge arranged for us to go snorkeling. The condition of the reef we visited was depressing with little marine life. The boat was flawed and potentially dangerous with rusted screws on the ladder that were hard to avoid stepping on with bare feet when using the ladder. No meals included. Continental breakfast would be nice for the price.
Breakfast and dinner at The Paddle were very good and in an open air space. When one vegetarian meal was disappointing the wait staff provided an alternative without question. We liked drinks with plantain chips and Belizean salsa on the dock's Ceviche. Enjoyed the view from our balcony of the sea, pool, palms and attractive, muted lights at night.

CanadaThey did not clean the seaweed at the beach well enough until the very end. The beach looked very nice and the water was then cleaner near the end of the 8 day trip.
I thought the Paddlehouse Restaurant was very good. Service was excellent by Richard and Kaylee and others. The options on the menus were very good. Lots of staff with happy faces. Happy people.

CanadaWelcoming services from concierge before arrival to hotel were poor. They resulted in me paying 392USD = 579 CAD for airport transfer due to me being a solo traveler. Additionally, I had 3 hours to make the payment decision during working hours, not giving me time to search for alternative options.
Beautiful views, clean, great wifi, amazing staff, great location!!!

United StatesThere is no ATM located near the property. Come with cash. We walked two miles into town to the only ATM in Hopkins and it wasn’t working! 😬
There are many lounge chairs for sunbathing. Nice dock to jump off of into the water with stairs. Adjacent to the Happy Go Luckie tour company and some really nice restaurants. There is also an amazing strangler fig on property by the pool bar. There are also several concrete water basins complete with hibiscus flowers for rinsing sand off of your feet located at convenient spots throughout the property.

United StatesOur only issue was the hot tub, and the showers were not hot.
Beautiful facility and room! The beach amenities and vibe were the best compared to the other nearby resorts. The people who work there go out of their way to provide an upscale experience and check in with you often. The bars were very social and fun to hang out at after a day of activities.

United StatesIt needs more hooks to hang things and it needs a foot bath on the porch. On our last day we were gone all day but we needed housekeeping bad, we had no towels and the floor was sandy, no cups, no glasses left. We did not know we had to leave our door unlocked for housekeeping so we did not get any... left us feeling a bit gross! Also, too far away from the Hopkins area.
The property is beautiful and the dock is fun.

United StatesThe welcome drink had a lot of Alcohol, so depends on the person i guess. Would have liked a better view of the ocean, but i got a bottom floor suite. AC was ok, but it definitely struggled. Sadly, I discovered the pool had lights the next morning, so I couldn't use them. :(
Right on the beach, room came with a private pool that has underwater lights. Nice paved walkway, and a great hammock outside. Supper was good and the staff was gracious. Had a +18 pool with a bar and hot tub if the sun just isn't doing it for you. They had a bar with netting that would hold you up above the water. Very neat. A good assortment of nearby food for breakfast as well.

United StatesThe food in the restaurant was OK but you can walk to at least three great restaurants from the resort. People walk from resort to resort all the time. It was the low season and the resort wasn't crowded. Other people just walked in and stayed there all day and night. The biggest downside, however, which isn't the resort's fault but more mother nature, is that beach tends to be full of seaweed/seagrass. These aren't the blue waters of Belize that you see in photos when you look at the islands. If you are looking for a place to wade in from the beach, this isn't it. Jumping off the dock, however, is fun!
This resort is part of a threesome of resorts, all under the Jaguar resort umbrella. There are multiple bars and two pools that you can use. The view from the dock is incredible and just chilling out there is all you need for a relaxing vacation! The tours out of the resort were great. My family had a great time fishing. Also, Victor was a fabulous tour guide! Don't miss cave tubing and the inland blue hole. Hopkins is a very friendly village with a diverse community. There are a lot of interesting, small restaurants and shops, which are open at random times. Use trip advisor to figure out when different places are open. You can drive into the village and park easily, rent a golf cart, or use the resort bikes to get around.
