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 reviewThe hotel is really cosy and clean. It has lush gardens and lots of birds around. The staff was extemely helpful, and we took a tour whith them and they were very professional.
The hotel is a little far from the center, and more importantly, the last few hundred meters are on a very bad dirt road, it's too bad they couldn't get together with the other hotels there to do something about it. Also, the hotel is situated next to some awful "skyscrapers", but thankfully you don't see them from your room or from the pool.

Verified reviewThe location is stunning though it is a bit complicated to get to it. The rooms are absolutely stunning, mainly thanks to the view of the volcano. Btw, all the rooms have the view.
The quality of food is basic, and you’re pretty much obliged to eat at the hotel because you’re far from everything else and isolated. The staff is not very nice. They are well educated but there is no flexibility about anything. The food we got was not tasty, we were not able to change money at the hotel, or get a boat to the villages. Basically everything we asked for we for a ‘no’ as an answer.

Verified reviewWow what a gorgeous view! Right when you get to the patio overlooking the pool and the lake you will feel like you are somewhere special. The gardens are immaculate too. There is a lot to explore on the property. The hotel is on its own which makes it feel more exclusive. The food at the restaurant is delicious. Sunday brunch was wonderful.
I thought we were walking distance to Panajachel but it’s about a 10min tuk tuk ride. Which was a fun experience. The beds could use softer pillows.

Verified reviewA true gem in Atitlan. Indescribable beauty of hotel gardens! The place was uniquely decorated, the gardens were full of birds, the view from the restaurant and pool to the lake and vulcano - unforgettable. The hotel offers private boat from their dock service to multiple lake villages which was very convenient. The property is located in the outskirts of Pana, but walking distance to the center (20mjn), or a short tuk tuk ride (10q). We were hesitant to book hotel, because it did not have air conditioner, but the weather near the lake is so cool in the evenings that we slept comfortably. This hotel was favorite for our kids, because pool was very nice, they could walk the gardens and also interact with a large colorful parrot- Matilda! Would recommend 100% if you are staying in the Atitlan area.

Verified reviewThe most stunning property. We spent 3 days here and the views from the pool could not be beat. the food was lovely but pricey for Guatemala standards. Breakfast on sundays was insane, so if you can be there for that do it. The gardens were manicured to perfection. I will be back.
Staff needed to communicate costs of items before taking orders. We saw instances where we saw other guests gasp over a $25USD breakfast and they wish they would of been informed prior. The towns nearby are very touristic and dirty, we toured 3 of them in one day and that was enough for us. We mostly stayed on the property.
