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.).

CanadaAll was good
I booked a spacious comfortable room with a great view of the ocean (Junior suite). The hotel itself is located just outside the bubble of cruise ship crowds, so much less busy than otherwise could be. The staff were amazing, and always very helpful, even with knowing minimal Spanish (Thanks Suzette!). I was able to book an amazing personal solo excursion through the hotel to see Lake Bacalar and Chacchoben ruins, highly recommended! Great Italian restaurant as well, for breakfast and dinner, delicious.

United StatesThe beach in front of the hotel is not the best. I preferred to rent a bike and go downtown for cleaner beach (they better clean the seawater). Many items were listed in the breakfast menu, but not available: some fruits, yougurt, etc. Additionally, I didn't like the service of one of the owners: the one in the bar. Conveniently on Saturday night, he said the hotel was not accepting credit cards. No signs anywhere to alert the customers. Even though I was a hotel guest, he "suggested" that I walk 10min at night to withdraw money on an ATM! When I refused and complained saying there were no signs of "no credit card today" nor the waitress said anything, he relunctedly charged my room...and came with the machine the very next dinner. My desire was to not eat there any longer, but walking to town at night was not appealing. Overall, he was not the most friendly.
If you want a secluded place but relatively close to the main restaurants and activities, then location is great. 5-7min bike ride or 15-20min from city center. The facility is also clean. My room (#19) was at the top floor and in front of the beach (great views); however, not all rooms are like that. There are many rooms at the back of the hotel. There is an okay restaurant in the hotel; not the best food in town. Had dinner there more out of convenience, not because the food or service were great.

SpainI find it bizarre that with all of Mahahual TOTALLY EMPTY -- I was the only one in the hotel for a full week. Only a few scattered other guests for a night or 2 -- they REFUSED to negotiate and give me a cheaper price or a slight upgraded room! Maybe they are just worker bees, and indeed I heard that the Italian owners want to give it a posh vibe, but I find that to be very bad business indeed. In the end, I paid a bit more for my room with a beach view and view of the mangroves. Well worth it!
Right on the beach with nice lounge chairs. I loved that it was a few minutes outside the main strip of beach clubs with all you can drink for the tourists pouring off the cruise ships at the other end. Rooms very clean and nice. I also love that breakfast is included... Talk to the people next door about renting bikes! They are very nice and willing to negotiate.

United KingdomThe hotel is a little walk away from the main restaurants and bars but this is not a problem as long as youre prepared to walk a little. It will probably be good on the cruise ship days as it will offer more peace.
This hotel is like a fairy tale. We came in december so it was decorated for christmas and it was gorgeous. But the actual wooden structures of the building and the inner courtyard are so charming. They offer free breakfast, which you have a choice from within their main menu. Or you can upgrade if preferred Free unlimited drinking water Accross the road from the hotel is the beach. There is a hotel area in the beach with sunbeds etc which are lovely. The staff were incredible. Suzette was so attentive and honestly such a nice lady. She couldnt do enough for us. The bedroom is very comfortable

United StatesThe wifi was poor, the tv didn't work enough for subscription tv like netflix due to signal issues, the bathroom sink faucet needs adjustment, it sprays the water so that it gets your shirt and pants wet when you are washing your hands. The restaurant was high priced for the area and the food was generally good. But the cook didn't understand basic things like how to cook a steak medium rare, or how to do eggs over easy. Each room has only one key. This is challenging when one person is somewhere else in the town and you need to get into the room solo. Inside the room, a "junior suite," there was just one room with the bed and a bathroom. That's not a suite. A suite is more than one room. To sit and read, or talk, or watch tv or whatever, one can sit on the bed or in the uncomfortable metal chair at the little vanity. There is no comfortable chair or small couch for sitting and relaxing indoors.
Room was basically good, restaurant was ok but not great, people were very nice and helpful.
