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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 StatesNothing, really. I feel like the secret is out because Pelican Reef was quite a bit more expensive than the last time we booked. But it was still worth it. I wouldn't stay anywhere else.
We've stayed at Pelican Reef once before, and let's just say...when my daughter graduated from high school, and we gave her the option of a graduation trip, she chose to come back to Belize and Pelican Reef. It's clean, a great location, and comfortable. The staff makes you feel like family. The service, the smiles, and really...it's their attention to details without being overly "bougie" and entitled. We feel compelled to bring them gifts because well, we just LIKE them as PEOPLE.

United StatesPelican reef does not serve dinner and does not have appetizers or any food after lunch service. there is a restaurant within walking distance that serves until 8 PM. Pelican reefs bar is open until 9 PM but closes early if there are no customers.
We have stayed here three times. The staff is phenomenal, very friendly and accommodating. There are only 16 units so it does not get overcrowded. if you do not plan on staying solely at the resort, you will need to rent a golf cart to travel to restaurants,shopping or site seeing. There are a few restaurants and bars within walking distance. Otherwise you can take a taxi. I recommend renting a cart or getting a taxi, making reservations or planning fishing or day trips through pelican reef. The first time we stayed here, I made the mistake of making all reservations on my own which resulted in me paying more for the golf cart and waiting longer at restaurants. Pelican reef has pull in the community and you’re taken well care of with all the business’ they book through. if you stay at the resort they have paddle boards, kayaks, full bar, and a restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch but not dinner. breakfast and lunch is very good. The condo was very nice and well equipped with washer, dryer, Iron, coffee maker, laundry, and dishwasher detergent, full kitchen with all utensils, glasses, and blender.

United Statespower outage not Pelican Villas fault, but a standby generator to at least run basic lights and fans due to AC not on in 90 degree plus weather in middle of night.

United StatesBed arrangements more suited to 2 couples in this 2 bedroom condo. We were a couple and 2 singles, so one of us slept on a provided (comfy) air mattress in the living room. The property is located fairly distant (about 3 miles) from the San Pedro Ferry Terminal, i.e. town center.
We had a wonderful stay at this property. As I understand it, private condos are managed by a company. It was quiet and beautiful, clean and well-maintained. A dock with hammocks, beach chairs and a small, rocky reef for snorkeling. Pretty little pool. The staff were excellent. Tristan, the concierge(?), was especially helpful and courteous. He helped us arrange a number of amenities (shuttle, golf cart, delivery dinner, dive outing).

United StatesThe 2 1/2 miles into San Pedro is a little far -- even on a golf cart. But we knew that when we booked.
We liked just about everything. Great staff, rooms, beach, peer, snorkeling, breakfast, pool, bar. We would definitely recommend this place. Our group of 10 stayed in a 2 bedroom & a 3 bedroom.

United Statesevening entertainment would have been nice
Breakfast menu had many choices and was very good. The French toast they use cinnamon bread which made for a great flavor. Snorkeling was great- so many fish, sting rays, turtles, eels, and the colors were magnificent. Go to Secrets beach - breathtaking and an easy way to spend the day. Crystal clear water, sand floor and you can walk 300 yards or more out and stay in waist deep clear water.
