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 reviewBeautiful place, comfortable, clean and great food! So close to the beach and the town too. Loved seeing wild monkeys around the pool area.

Verified reviewClean, safe, walking distance to the beach and friendly staff.
My stay started off a bit rocky, my original room had issues with the AC and the shower leaked onto the floor. However, I really have to give credit where it’s due: Esteban completely turned the situation around. He was incredibly helpful and understanding, and quickly offered me an upgraded room, which made a huge difference in my experience. This isn’t so much a complaint about the property itself, but more about how these small maintenance issues can impact a first impression. That said, the staff’s responsiveness, especially Esteban’s, more than made up for it. Great customer service goes a long way, and thanks to that, I still had a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Verified reviewGreat location, excellent breakfast, fantastic pool, nice rooms, pleasant to wake up so close to nature
The shower tends to spill water across the ridge so that a large part of the bathroom is wet after a shower.

Verified reviewThe room was clean. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and accomodating. Breakfast was excellent.
It is not really 4 star hotel compared to the rest of the country. Might be 4 star compared to all accommodation in Montezuma, as the village is very authentic and not a lot of options for a bit more luxury accomodation (mostly backpackers and group accomodations). Pool is undersed as most of the day it is full with bugs, ants and other creatures.
Thank you for allowing us to host your vacation in Montezuma. We genuinely appreciate your trust in us, and we apologize for not meeting your expectations. As we are situated in the jungle, we experience a higher volume of leaves and insects during May, which can make it difficult to maintain the pool's cleanliness without inconveniencing our guests. We thank you for your understanding and are committed to enhancing your experience.

Verified reviewThe hotel is well located for downtown Montezuma, but has a really tranquil and quiet feel, surrounded by vegetation and the bonus that the monkeys visit each evening. The pool is a good size and picturesque. The restaurant facilities are also really tastefully done. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed during our visit except for breakfast (which was only advised after booking).
We booked a Queen Terrazza room (which showed on booking as the same price as the King balcony) but the room is quite dark, and the walkway to the balcony rooms crossed over the outdoor terrace. We asked to move to a King balcony room and they were able to accommodate the switch for 2 nights of our stay. The balcony rooms are much nicer. The hotel refused to honour the price shown on booking.com when we switched rooms, and booking.com themselves are taking no accountability for honouring the price shown on their site, which is pretty poor customer service. We were also disappointed that the hotel restaurant was only open for breakfast; and breakfast was particularly slow as they were training new staff (to be fair, the chef came out and apologised for the 45 mins wait).

Verified reviewThe location in Montezuma village was fantastic, everything in walking distance and the village itself charming. The surrounding greenery around the hotel was lovely, well kept and marvellous, plus lots of animal spotting (tapiri, monkeys, frogs). We also loved the pool and breakfast area. The additional option of yoga was magnificent, the terrace it was practiced on, was hidden in the midst of a jungle, with ocean and nature sounds all around you - nothing short of amazing! Even though the room itself did not have a balcony, the terrace outside with seating was nice.
The room was very small and felt cramped - nowhere to open your suitcase. It also was very dark, the windows were to the backside into the forest and gave no light. The bathroom was also scarce - no space to put your toiletries. The recommendation probably is not to book the basic room, but one with own balcony. Breakfast choice was a bit limited, you could only get either just fruit or just eggs, but to have both, there was an extra charge.

Verified reviewGreat location and the hotel is nicely designed, but starting to look shabby and need a deep clean, The hotel is a separate business to restaurant and whilst they serve pretty good food,the staff were absolutely atrocious and clueless, the bar was never stocked, so every item they were leaving bar to go get 1/2 an hour was about time for two Margaritas each day! It was so frustrating that we didn’t bother eating there after the first night. The hotel staff very efficient and couldn’t do enough to help and very charming. We stayed here for a special occasion and the restaurant. We were disappointed.
The restaurant staff and cleanliness of restaurant.

Verified reviewSituated two minutes from Montezuma town adjacent to the stunning beach it is ideally situated with all sorts of wildlife wandering around. The pool is a peaceful heaven and regular clean beach towels available all day. The reception staff were excellent (Maria) and the Manager in making us welcome.
Our room (suspect cheapest) was very cramped and the accessibility shower leaked water out of the bathroom and into the room, no matter how softly we put the shower on. They are making every effort to develop and fix issues, so would definitely recommend this gem even if you are on a budget as cheaper food options (many excellent) just down the road.
Thank you for trusting us to host your vacation in Montezuma. We are happy you enjoyed our hospitality and are very grateful for your feedback. We recommend you book the balcony or terrace room next time.

Verified reviewThe location- quiet area but yet a few minute walk to town. You could hear the sound of the waves from the ocean from the property. The pool was big with many lounge chairs and umbrellas for shade. The staff/manger were very helpful. The property was very lush and tropical. I got a room with a terrace- it was nice to sit outside in the morning.
The air conditioner in my room was not working great the first night or second night. I mentioned it to the staff the second day, however, it was not fixed. It was blowing air but not cool air. I ended up extending my stay and by the third day, the staff addressed the issue.

Verified reviewThe Hotel is beautiful and we enjoyed sitting on the balcony of our room looking into nature. The hotel area is quite big and in the middle of nature but still right within Montezuma. Everything was clean and we also enjoyed the pool. The food at the restaurant was also delicious.
The only thing which I want to mention is that during our stay some of the staff seemed partly annoyed or not really into it. The website and Instagram of the hotel suggest a warm hearted place. The staff was not unfriendly per se but kind of cold or not really into it. It was a bit of a strange experience as it influenced our experience of the place.
