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!
The property was beautiful. We had the two bedroom, 2 bath upstairs unit called the hacienda. It was so spacious, large bedrooms with equally large bathrooms. The kitchen was large and well equipped. The living room was a good size, and the couch was large and comfortable. We received the continental breakfast each morning, which was free of cost. The food was well made, delicious and presented well. Our rooms were clean and our spacious patio had a hammock, 2 deck lounges and a high-top bar with 4 barstools. Once again, everything and everywhere was clean! Our patio overlooked to pool and bar below. The staff was SUPER nice and VERY helpful! Everyone made our stay super enjoyable and we were sad to leave. We will definitely be returning next year and booking the hacienda again!!

United StatesThe property is located right on “sidewalk” so it was close to many restaurants and beach bars. We didn’t even have to have a golf cart to get around. We loved the ambiance of the entire place. It was very quiet and relaxing. The pool snd swim up bar were an added bonus to the beach area.

Staff was excellent, friendly, and accommodating. Food and beverage was excellent and great way to start and end the day. We stayed at the beginning and end of a sailing trip and wish both says had been longer. The property being able to book our flights (we pay at ticket counter) to and from Placencia, providing all of the specific details on flying with the small airlines, and picking up/dropping us off at the landing strip and marina made things very smooth sailing and stress free. Will stay again when in Placencia

United StatesI wish the bathroom had counter space; however, the kitchenette had a spacious countertop that we were able to use during our stay.
Loved the centralized location. Pam, from the office, was very accommodating to our requests. Cornelio and Senda from the bar were both very kind, friendly, and engaging. Our room had snacks available and there was a carafe of drinking water in the refrigerator. The beach lounges on the beach were comfortable and situated under Palm trees that provided plenty of shade. The biggest selling point is that this is an adults only hotel.

United StatesThere wasn’t anything I didn’t like about this place. I’d absolutely stay here again and again.
This place was absolutely fantastic in every way! As you enter the cabanas you immediately enter a mini paradise with thatched roofs, a clean pool, adorable pool bar, kayaks, bikes, paddle boards, and individual cabanas. The beach is wonderfully clean and quiet with loungers and hammocks. They rake daily and do treat the sand so no pesky sand fleas on our visit. But what was even better was all the little things! They provided umbrellas, bug spray, sunscreen and lotion all stationed in their outdoor lobby. They provided beach towels replenished daily. Just when you think that is all fantastic, it gets better. The staff!! I cannot say enough about the staff! The manager, Pam, took our 10/10 to a 20/10. She was absolutely lovely. She helped with everything from setting up excursions to making dinner reservations. She always had a beautiful smile and a wonderful sense of humor. She was always sure to make our experience even better than it already was. By time we left, she was like family! And her staff always had a smile! From Senda to Emir to Michelle-absolutely precious. This staff went out of their way to make your stay magical. They provided everything from drinks to breakfast to clean rooms. We even enjoyed a great Mojito mixer with yummy drinks and appetizers with our fellow guests. Our room, Villa Playa, was comfortable and included a king size bed, plenty of pillows, a dresser, chair, tv, nightstands, a microwave, coffee maker, coffee, and a fridge. The bathroom vanity was somewhat small, but it does have a cabinet and shelf below to store your items. They provided bathrobes and daily towels. The shower was roomy and best of all, nice, hot water! My only suggestion here would be to provide bathrobes and daily slippers as the floors are tile and can get sandy. The cabanas are pretty much at the end of the sidewalk and in my opinion, a perfect location.

United StatesWe had an amazing experience. All of the staff were personable & worked hard to make our stay memorable. The front staff were so friendly, even after working late multiple days. They even made us Johnny cakes because we mentioned we wanted to try them. The bar tenders were kind & personable. The kitchen & house keeping were always smiling & nothing was too much for them. The beach is clean, the rooms are exactly what you see in the photos (clean, quaint). It will be hard to ever stay in a hotel or condo after staying here. We felt so safe & had a sidewalk away from the street that lead us to all the restaurants (all within walking distance). If you get a chance, book a boat charter with Clearwater charters. Matthew & Priscilla create an amazing day fishing, snorkeling & catching lobster for a personal beach picnic. It was more than we could’ve ever asked for.

France3 feedbacks: The hotel staff cleans the beach and the gardrner is super nice. But the plastic that comes from the oceans is a real problem in Belize. Sometimes my husband and I were surprised to see bits of plastic and paper in the sand at the hotel, on the path leading to the bar. Even the guests don’t bother to pick it up. The environment is everyone's responsibility, especially us tourists. If I can provide some feedback, it would be to thoroughly clean up all the small plastic pieces within the hotel and perhaps put up a sign for guests to encourage everyone to be mindful of waste and properly dispose of it in the bins. Second feedback: the room equipment : we also chose this hotel because we saw it had a kitchenette with utensils, which would allow us to cook some evenings during our 10-day stay. However, we were missing at least a cutting board (to chop vegetables) and a good knife. We asked Senda several times, and she kindly lent them to us without any issue! But in general, the kitchen setup is a bit limited for cooking." We booked a sea view room but the room does not has a sea view at all. You should change the description on Booking because it can be frustrating.
We loved our stay, where we stayed for 10 days, so longer than the average. - First of all, the location was perfect because it was central but not right in the middle of all the bars and restaurants you could go access all restaurants and bars by walk. Plus, you're right in front of the beach, you step out of your room and your feet are in the water. - The hotel staff was great: Senda at the bar is an absolute sweetheart, and the whole kitchen and housekeeping team are so kind and always ready to help. The security team is also super nice - The food and cocktails are delicious. - The hotel's setting is very pleasant.

United StatesLocal restaurants with the very affordable meals seemed to close at 2:00 PM, meaning that for dinner you had to eat at the tourist focused, higher priced restaurants in the area.
The location was perfect, right on the beach, not at the center of the village, but close enough for a short walk.

United StatesThe only thing is that I was in the first casita where everyone walked by to get to their cabana. For privacy though, it was easy to pull down the shades.
Staff was wonderful and very helpful! They were outgoing and warm. It's a small-ish propery with 7 or 8 cabanas and it feel really welcoming and friendly. It's a compact property however the location (right on the main sidewalk yet away from the noise) was perfect. The beach area was clean and inviting. The pool/bar area was relaxing as well. The breakfast (included) was substantial and it was nice to have other breakfast choices available for room service in the mornings as well. The robes were a nice touch. And the bikes were wonderful for exploring.

They made arrangements for our local flight from Belize City. They picked us up and returned us to the local airport. Awesome little bar by the pool. The restaurant on the property served a very good breakfast and lunch.

United StatesUnfortunately, trash sometimes washes up onto the beach. It’s not a massive amount, but it saddens me to see how people around the world are unaware of pollution in our oceans. They work very hard to keep their beachfront clean and honestly their beach front is well kept. Initially, I was bothered that there was not a place to hang my nice clothing. I adjusted quickly and made a make-shift closet (hung my clothes over my suitcase) lol! Honestly, it really didn’t seem like it mattered after I realized I over-packed. Highly recommend not over-packing. This is such a friendly beach town! You could wear the same thing daily and no one cares :-).
Love Pam!! Highly knowledgeable, personal and provided excellent local advice with a radiant smile. Pam was incredibly helpful especially after I unfortunately became ill. I miss her already after being home only 2 days. The property is beautiful with lush landscape. EVERY staff member is incredibly kind and helpful. All work so hard and will go out of their way to ensure your needs are met. Loved the shower outside of our cabana! Every cabana has one! All cabana patio’s are incredible. The bar is exceptional and love their fresh squeezed juices. The chef is fantastic! Homemade breads daily and delicious specials. Breakfast is a must! All menu items are delicious! The Belizean chicken stew special was phenomenal. The food was so good, we chose to eat here daily (ten days total).
