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 reviewThis small, family-owned hotel is conveniently located just a short walk from the beach. While the price is a great value, be aware that some rooms have a noticeable, musty odor. There was noone at the reception when we arrived to check in and had to call the number on the door.
Thank you for your insight. I believe the smell recently is from the sargassum that has been affected the Caribbean, Mexico and Florida beaches these past couple of weeks. Thankfully it has been clearing up.

Verified reviewThe room was clean, shower was a nice size and the location was perfect – right around the corner from some of the viral spots I had heard of. Also the host was amazing, very friendly and helpful – I had trouble getting to Secret Beach due to my golf cart breaking down, and he suggested I take a water shuttle that I had never heard about. Glad I spoke to him, since I thought my entire plans for the day were ruined! I was able to sign up for the water shuttle on time and made it to the beach I enjoyed coming to the hotel to escape the humidity and sit in the air conditioning for a while
Just a bit noisy caused by other tenants slamming doors - not the fault of the host! The back door/side entrance to the hotel is difficult to shut, so often times it was that door being slammed. But I'm just someone who is sensitive to loud noises and I don't stay out late, so I was in bed early and heard a lot of tenants going in and out. Again, not anyone else's fault

Verified reviewHonestly, nothing.
The hotel doesn't have a sign, and is located just behind a part of town where sargassum accumulates and the smell that makes you want to vomit. The room is clean but really minimal and with old furniture, and you still get the smell inside it. We had an emergency and needed to leave after one hour of arrival, and the owner/manager would not refund ANY part of it, saying it was "hotel policy" over and over and that they were "running a business". They clearly do not understand that if you are running a business, the most important aspect of it is to have satisfied customers, not to make some dollars at any cost. The woman at reception was trying to be nice, but clearly the management is clueless and is in the wrong business. The price was way too high for the dump it was. I honestly would avoid this place at all costs.
Anna, Thank you for your feedback. We take great pride in giving the best experience . As you can see in the picture there are multiple sign and sargassum is out of our control and is affection the Caribbean, mexico and florida at this time. Anna came in before check in time and we were to get here in earlier. An hour later she realized she booked the wrong time for the mexico water taxi and need to leave early. She demanded a full refund even though choose a nonrefundable reservation When we weren't able give in to her demands she threatened to leave us a bad review and yelled at our front desk staff. We have reported Anna to bookingcom for her threats and frailer to follow their policies.

Verified reviewWell, we were 1/2 block off the beach with good restaurants within walking distance. The Caribbean Cruiser water taxi is right behind the hotel so if you take that one it's a super easy walk for luggage. Our room was out the back so it was pretty quiet at night. They have a side door that you can exit and your like 10 steps to the beach. Staff was really nice.
There was no coffee in the room or in the building which we like to wake up and relax with coffee before heading out . You are in the middle of town so there is just a pile of golf carts zooming around so you need to be really careful when walking the streets. We will probably not go back to San Pedro because the golf carts are out of control and it's not comfortable for pedestrians to walk and enjoy the town. Taxi's are really expensive so they want you to rent a golf cart but there are so many that it's hard to get down the street or to even park them. I did a tourism interview and said the golf cart situation is why we wouldn't go back.

Verified reviewSpotlessly clean, with lots of hot water, comfy rooms and a great location (just back from the beach next to cafes and restaurants, but no loud music all night like further up the beach). My dive centre picked me up from the pier in front of the beach each day and there is another dive shop just in front of Casa de Paz too - so great for divers. Check in and out was a breeze and the owner, Chefy, always responded quickly - communication was great - and he helped me to rent a golf cart too. I honestly was sad to leave this place and felt really at home. San Pedro is super, super safe but just in case you had any doubts - there is a security guard (or was he actually a policeman) standing right outside the entrance of the building.
Absolutely nothing.

Verified reviewComfortable rooms at a reasonable price. Wi-fi and A/C were fine. Friendly and helpful reception and housekeeping. Location is very handy for the Caribbean Sprinter ferry and within walking distance of anything in town, and for diving and snorkelling firms along the beach, but...
...at night there is a lot of ambient light inside and out, impossible to darken the room. Noisy at times because of the alleyway alongside.

Verified reviewLa Casa de Paz exceeds high hospitality standards. The room was well located, nice, clean, and beautiful. But what sets it apart is the radical sense of hospitality and service. Well done!
