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 reviewI did like the confusion with the tour. And then the security guard letting random drunk people up to the hotel room at 2:30 at night to beat on the door even though it was no one in our room. SCARY!

Verified reviewBeing right on the beach with a morning sunrise was amazing. Its location in the center of everything was perfect for walking. The beach was not the best due to boat traffic and seaweed but we knew that going in. It was sometimes noisy from beach goers and dogs barking but that's also to be expected. We moved to another highly rated resort for a few nights at the end of our stay just for a change of scenery, and while it was nice and had some bonuses, in hindsight I would have just stayed at the more affordable Mayan, with an amazing view and sea breezes. Can't beat that.
I wished they had some kind of dressers with drawers in the unit. We wanted to settle in totally but we still had to live out of our suitcases which just felt weird, what with having what amounted to an awesome studio apartment on the beach. So, please put in some dressers for people's belongings. Then, it's no secret there is a dog barking problem with the neighboring building. We knew that going in. However it was pretty loud at times and made worse by the echo of the buildings. It would seem the Mayan could look into ways to install some kind of sound proofing to minimize the impacts of the neighbors. We just turned up our white noise machines and were able to tolerate it. We considered this in the price and location and decided it was worth taking the chance, and it was.
Hello, Julia! Thank you so much for your detailed review. We are glad you were able to take advantage of our sunrise views! As you mentioned, the seagrass is a part of nature that is unfortunately out of our control. Being in the center of town in walking distance to many food, shopping, and entertainment spots comes with a lot of pros, but there is noise as you also mentioned that sometimes comes along with that, too. We would like to assure you we are currently looking into methods to minimize the disturbance from neighboring properties with dogs and have noted all your other feedback. Thank you for letting us know, and for choosing us during your stay here in Ambergris Caye! Have a wonderful day

A bit old and mosquitoes in the room
Hello, Mr. Frederic. Thank you for leaving your review. We definitely agree on our lovely views and location and are happy to know you found us to be helpful! While we are not a luxury hotel, we do our best to offer an exceptional experience to our guests. Belize is a tropical country with warm temperatures, so mosquitoes are an unavoidable part of nature. We do have bug spray and recommend keeping doors closed in the evenings to combat this :) Still, we hope you were able to enjoy your stay nonetheless, and hope to have you back soon!

Not a very good beach and the town is horrible. Not a vacation destination.
Mrs. Ticknell, we are glad that you chose to stay with us and of course that you enjoyed your clean space at the hotel. We are sorry that the beach was not at your expectation, being in town does comes with a couple distractions indeed especially for those looking for private beaches. Nonetheless we hope you were able to enjoy the sun and views of the caribbean sea. Thank you again for choosing us.

Verified reviewThe location is perfect and is a very safe hotel. The rooms are very big and have everything you might need inside them. The staff are very friendly and there are some great dinner options nearby. Great base for exploring San Pedro and other islands.
The shower was a bit poor and the beds are a little uncomfortable. Swimming isn’t great out front here, much better elsewhere.
Jordan, thank you very much for making the Mayan Princess your choice hotel and for sharing your guest experience. The shower in that room was adjusted to medium setting, however, could have been adjusted to your desired comfort with a slight turn. Our beds are topped off with a memory topper and at times this could be a little too soft but could be removed upon request. We are glad though that you were able to enjoy swimming in other parts of the island as well as the warmth of our Belizean staff and hotels location. Thank you again and hope you return for a much greater experience.
