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 StatesVirginia, Ken, and Luis were exceptional hosts! We enjoyed being up on a hill with a breeze and a sparkling pool. It was private with gorgeous views of the hills. A great location with only a 10-minute drive into town. We would for sure stay here again!

United StatesEverything was incredible!!!
Being able to order breakfast to make yourself in your room was incredibly helpful. Some days--we were being picked up at the villas at 8AM for excursions and it was really nice to have everything we needed in the room to cook ourselves a hearty, filling breakfast before a long day of events. The information booklet in the room is quite helpful. We also had our laundry done one day and it was folded so nicely when we got back from our day, and some items had even been hung to prevent wrinkles. The staff really showed hospitality in more ways than I can recall.

AustraliaI would say one thing at night coming up the driveway could be dangerous. Also if two cars don’t fit in, it leads to backing up on a very narrow hilly driveway.
Loved everything about this place , location and the apartment itself .

United StatesWe were greeted by Virginia, her friendly pups and 2 toucans upon arrival. The property is a 10/10. The view is stunning and sunsets are a must nightly. We stayed in cabin 4 and it was absolutely perfect! Literally spotless! The air conditioning was perfect and the cabin had every amenity possible. The infinity pool was fabulous for afternoon dips to cool off and the chair floats were an added bonus. Please come stay with Virginia and Ken! If you don’t you are honestly missing out!

United StatesThe owner and staff were amazing! The location is remote and has great forest and wild life and is less than 10 mins from San Ignacio center. The villas are modern and very clean and comfortable. The dark sky there if you are into stargazing is amazing! Highly recommend it! Honestly, the owner thought of her guests and any convenience you think of, it is there, like water pitcher and glasses in the fridge.

United StatesThe bed was the one Achilles heel. Though there was a topper, it was way too soft, like sleeping on a marshmallow. Not enough of a turn off to keep us from staying there again though!
The staff were very accommodating and the view was spectacular. Close to town, but still like a world away. The website does not do this retreat justice. Way above our expectations and wished we booked a longer stay.

CanadaIt would have been nice to have been given a heads up for the planned power outage so we could have better prepared for our travel day.
The sunsets at Villa Cayo must be among the best in the country. The grounds are stunning and very secluded, I highly recommend having a vehicle if you plan to stay here. The pictures don’t do this place justice, it’s spectacular.

United StatesThe mattress was softer than I prefer, but I got excellent sleep despite that. The shower vacillated between warmish to hot.
Wow. An extraordinary location in the hills above San Ignacio, away from the town noise and congestion, but a thirty minute walk or ten minute taxi ride to the center. Quiet, except for occasional dog barking, and so beautiful. We loved the villa and all the amenities. Everything we needed was provided. The room was spotless. Would gladly stay again.

TaiwanSome of the windows were hard to lock and we needed several retries. Also, if you are afraid of dogs, it might be better to stay in some of the other villas as the owners are living in the main villa below the one we rented and they have multiple dogs. They are friendly but they bark a lot and can be loud and intimidating at times.
We had the Deluxe Villa with the 139m² and it was amazing - it is a rooftop villa with external showers and outdoor kitchen, the view was just amazing and the pool (just built, brand new, gorgeous) just two stories below us! Location is very good, a little outside of the city. There is a room service available every day and it is very clean and you have everything needed (including coffee, sugar, salt, pepper and a lot of utensils).

My cabana had a kitchen, amazing native wood throughout, and toucans that liked to knock on my window! The staff (especially Luis, Virginia, and Ken) were beyond supportive and kind. They made everything convenient and easy. I didn’t have a rental car and it was not a problem at all. Perfect place to stay.

United StatesFrom the moment you pull, the owners make you feel like welcome guests. Amazing combination of comfort, privacy and scenic views. Having a full kitchen was a huge bonus for us (and the kitchen has all the equipment you need for cooking a meal). Virginia and Ken (the owners) are super hosts. If we are ever back in San Ignacio area, we will not even look for a different accommodation, unless Villa Cayo is all booked out. Highly recommend with one caveat - you need to be travelling with a car to fully enjoy your stay at Villa Cayo.

United StatesOwners building a large pool right in front of the villa that will become Pool Villa ... our preference are small villa tucked away from the future pool .., but I am sure many customers will enjoy this large pool.
Fantastic property sitting on the top of the hill about 3km from the center of San Ignacio. Well maintained, superbly clean, owners care about you as a customer. Very quiet setting in between many trees, ,yet close to the San Ignacio. Can't even begin to explain all the interior design made by the owner, custom doors, wooden table, cabinets; beautiful view from the bed into the woods every morning. 2 Aracari Toucans visiting us every morning and evening, sitting at the villa window and watching us.

United StatesIt's a bit far from town and not an easy walk due to lack of sidewalks on the roadway -- you'll want a vehicle or be prepared to spend on taxis to get to/from most places.
Excellent stay in a stunning location. Beautifully constructed villas -- every detail was considered and we were extremely comfortable. The staff was dynamite, so friendly and willing/ready to make us as comfortable as possible. Daily maid service felt luxurious! Loved having a kitchen and gorgeous, stunning views from the hilltop. Really was a highlight of our trip to Belize, staying among the trees in such a peaceful and beautiful place.

United StatesWe purchased the transportation package for $510 but with all the tour packages, transportation is factored into the cost, so you rarely use the transportation set up in the package deal. The cost is $120 to and from the airport and we only used the transportation provided on 5 occasions over a 10-day period ($20 round trip into town). If we didn’t have their transportation package, we would have saved $170.00. We made a trip to another town to pick up a cell phone that was left behind and were told it was not covered under the transportation plan, even though we hadn’t used it for several days. We ended up paying the extra $50 out of pocket. Just a heads-up to be sure you will be needing their transportation daily.
The villa was immaculate and the views were spectacular. The full kitchen was a definite plus and the unit was tastefully decorated. We had everything we needed and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We will be booking again.
