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 StatesOnly downside is because it’s super remote you have to eat your meals there which the food is super good but definitely overpriced. I would have loved some more local style food options for the dinner especially but everything i ate there was food
My favorite hotel I’ve ever stayed at it’s literally so gorgeous. Every inch of this hotel is immaculately well kept and designed it’s insane. Also free sauna with herbs, incredible swimming spots, staff is super friendly and overall the best

United StatesSince there isn’t air conditioning, we needed to leave our windows open, so we could hear our neighbors chatting on their patio late at night. The hotel has a 10pm quiet policy, but some guests still were a little loud.
The view and location are unbeatable! That was seriously such an amazing experience. The staff is also really friendly and the rooms are clean and cutely decorated. We also enjoyed the food even if it was a little pricey. Definitely glad we stayed here!

United StatesThe hotel was somewhat expensive and it is difficult to not spend a lot of money on food because of the isolated location. You are basically forced to eat a certain amount of meals at the hotel. The sauna is a bit crowded because of how small it is.
The room was breathtaking and the entire property has stunning views of the Lake. The sauna and hot tub were both very fun experiences. There are lots of easy day trip excursions that you can make from the hotel.

United StatesGiven that outside food isn't allowed on site, it would be helpful to have a kids menu for smaller bellies! All of the breakfast dishes or entrees are far large for any child under 13 years old. For instance, the pancakes are 3 large pancakes---my daughter would eat 75% of one. This led to food waste and large bills (lucky for you!). We also ordered just a grilled cheese (no soup) for our 5 year old but were still charged $11 for soup and sandwich! Also, we would order a breakfast but was consistently not given our tortillas or juice.
Staff was very kind both before we arrived in our communications and while on site. The orientation to the Casa was thorough. The quality of food was excellent (concerns about the quantity, combinations, delivery). The grounds are absolutely stunning.

United StatesWe needed to keep the window open to keep the room cool and there was a small hole in the screen so we had quite a few flies find their way into the room. Also, I love a good pillow, and ours had seen better days. Neither of these things would affect my decision to stay here again, again and again!
We loved our stay! It was everything I had hoped and more! The grounds were beautifully maintained, the views unreal, the restaurant was very good and the staff were so accommodating! I would recommend Casa del Mundo to anyone visiting lake Atitlan.

United StatesThe only thing is that there are a LOT of steps, but given the location that's to be expected. One thing that maybe could be changed is the water pressure in the showers and maybe a couple of fans for the rooms.
This hotel is absolutely gorgeous! Expectations meet reality here for sure. The staff are amazing, friendly, and are so incredibly helpful. There's a restaurant open nearly all day and the food was fresh each and every time.

United StatesCasa del mundo exceeded our expectations. Every detail from the Jardins , food, lounging areas with hammocks to the attentiveness of the staff made our stay the highlight of our trip to Guatemala. We swam, we dined, and we enjoyed relaxing with stunning views galore! We highly recommend booking a spot at Casa del Mundo. Note that the rooms are very basic but comfortable and tastefully decorated. the stairs are unavoidable.
