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 StatesThere wasn’t anything that they could control that we didn’t like!
Alice’s guesthouse is a literal oasis in the jungle! There are great vibes from the staff and the common areas, and we had spider monkeys right over one of our bungalows one evening! They were thoughtful checking in with us during our stay, they helped arrange a taxi, and were just incredibly welcoming and lovely!

Excellent good choice and really good quality food. Lovely restaurant area to sit and relax in. Fantastic grounds, felt very welcome. Lots of good advice given. Woke up to the. Sound of howler monkeys in the tree behind our dorm. What an experience. Saw hummingbirds, toucans, and monkeys from the bar area.

Beautiful place, you feel like you are in a jungle. Definitely worth visiting to have a different perspective of the lake. Room was beautiful, hot shower and lovely hammocks to just chill.

United KingdomAs it's very indoor/outdoor living, we did have a fair few ants in our room when we came back one evening. Not a huge problem as we expected some bugs but may be helpful for future guests to know.
Where to begin... We had the most wonderful stay at Alice's Guesthouse. All the staff are absolutely amazing and really attentive. Everyone wanted to know how we were doing and how our days had been, it felt very homely. It's a real oasis and a perfect place to relax and listen to all the wildlife. It was really handy having the restaurant and bar on site, and as it closes by 10 you could get an early night without any noise. We were travelling to Belize City after our stay here and Alice got us booked onto a shuttle the day before with no issue, super helpful. So many cute cats and dogs (an added bonus!) We didn't book an organised tour to Tikal through the guesthouse just as we wanted to be a little more flexible on our timings but it was really easy to get a local bus at the end of the road up to Tikal for around £3 pp. All in all, an amazing stay, thank you!

We loved our stay at Alice’s guesthouse. The on site restaurant cooked great food (for breakfast, lunch and dinner) at a very reasonable price, the staff were lovely and the relaxed vibe was very enjoyable. Loved the proximity to the lake and how at one with nature we felt during our stay. There’s not many places you can stay and wake up to the sounds of howler monkeys.

CanadaEl Remate to tikal the shuttle is 70Q (one way). 100Q(2way) Flores to Tikal, the shuttle is 100Q. However the distance is half way between El Remate and tikal. That's doesn't make sense for me. Alice told that is not her price. Finally we took public shuttle, from el remate to tikal, 30Q each way/person. We enjoyed the free time from 730am until 3pm. We had more free time than the tour.
The staff is nice and helpful. All area is clean, tidy and impress. Have booked the bed for 2 people. Normal is single bed for dorm room. Luckily We felt comfortable and no problem at all. The temperature is very high 37 degrees, doesn't felt hot, I guess the top of the room, made of leave. Good place for staying. 😁

United StatesThere were lots of people smoking cigarettes in the restaurant/lounging area which is hard for me because the smoke gives me headaches.
The setting was so lovely, out in the jungle with beautiful views of the surrounding areas. The restaurant/lounging area was very nice in an outdoor setting. The food was very good. The beds were comfortable and the room was very clean. The whole vibe of the setting was chill and magical.

SpainBed slightly uncomfortable and you can hear the outside as you are in a palapa and it is shaky when people come un and down but the room is very spacious, you get a mosquito net. There is no kitchen to your disposal so bear in mind, ut you can use a fridge and they provide you with cutlery if needed:)

SpainIt is run by foreigners for foreigners so you don't get a very local experience. But you can always eat in more local places and use public transport to make up for that aspect and meet more regular locals.
The cabin was wonderful it has all you need and is aesthetically very pleasing. The location is great as it is near the lake but not too close to the busier area. It is very clean and the garden is quite relaxing!
