Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United States of AmericaThis property is fairly secluded so the only real food option is on site. We loved the food though so wasn't a problem for our stay.
Exquisite, lush setting! Excellent food (we opted for a la carte but you can also get a 3-meal/day plan). Staff was extremely helpful in setting up great tours for us to enjoy the area.

United States of AmericaAmazing jungle experience Jan 2024. Spotless cottages were constructed by local artisans. Every meal was delicious, planned with our food preferences per advance email. Our excursion to Caracol was unforgettable as our guide, of Mayan heritage, shared more than academic information. Mariposa staff was friendly, kind and attentive to all our needs. Many adventures nearby, hiking on property, butterfly ranch nearby, caving, waterfalls, etc. Corenne from Iowa, USA

United States of AmericaI loved the location, it was very remote, and quite which is what I wanted. The staff was amazing, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the property and the offerings. I would love to plan a yoga retreat there. The room was awesome, the pool was small, but not overly chlorinated so it didn't irritate my eyes. I really got to relax. The property was just beautifully laid out. We even did a medicinal tour of the property with Josh who was wonderful and so knowledgeable. And our Tour guide for Caracol was so amazing!

United States of AmericaThe breakfasts were delicious and the dinners were always pretty, but weren’t mind blowing taste wise. Belize has amazing food and I didn’t think the dinners quite represented that. I would still stay again though.
The property was beautiful and well maintained with lots of beautiful trails to enjoy. The staff were all friendly and seemed to really care about making our experience the best it could be. I appreciated that we could have all our meals right on the property and we could book all our tours through them. I would highly recommend.

United States of AmericaIt's a great place-- I had to go to the lounge to download documents for work, but that was the only issue and it was not a big problem. Don't forget your bug spray!
My teenage son and I had an excellent stay at Mariposa Jungle Lodge. It was comfortable and very clean and the service and food were excellent. The birding on site was fabulous too. My son and I took turns in the porch hammock-- it was lovely and very relaxing. I would stay here next time I return to Belize. A few words of warning, the resort is on the outskirts of San Ignacio, so if you're taking a tour that says it picks up in San Ignacio, confirm they pick up here. One (St. Jerome's Xunantunich and Cave Tubing-- excellent tour, highly recommended) confirmed and then charged me $75 for pick up and drop off at Mariposa. It's about a 15-20 minute drive each way-- so it's not trivial. We were the first to be picked up and then spent the next hour or more driving around to collect the others. (Again, that was an excellent tour-- maybe our favorite-- so I'm not knocking the tour.) We did the ATM tour with Pacz Tours and they did not charge extra for pick-up, so I think it depends. Also, another group cancelled our Caracol tour without telling me. I emailed them to confirm my pick-up time the next morning, and was told the night before that the trip was cancelled. Mariposa organized one on the spot for the next morning so the day was saved. Plus, it was a private tour with none of the "pickup and wait" issues we had with the Xunantunich tour. Next time I would just go with tours organized by Mariposa and skip the hassle. Finally, my son was able to access wifi for emails and texts and music just fine in the room. But I needed to do an hour or two of work most days, and found I was not able to download documents in the cabana. It was fine for email and texts. I went to the TV room and the wifi was fine there. It wasn't a private area, but I was the only one in there so it worked.

The staff at Mariposa Lodge were exceptionally friendly, courteous and attentive to all of our needs. Norma prepared delicious meals for us everyday. Our bartender and wait staff were always welcoming and willing to provide advice on places to visit in the area. Gladimir, the general manager, made sure we were prepared for our daily tours and had supplies take with us. All that we had to do everyday was relax, enjoy the beautiful surroundings and chat with other visitors and staff. It was a lovely vacation at Mariposa!
