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 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 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.).

NetherlandsWe knew that it would be a little far off the centre, but we did expect the hotel to provide rental services for bikes at least. They recommended a nearby bike rental that had run out of bikes so this was really not ideal and we were quite disappointed as it’s definitely a facility that is lacking at Aldea.
The place was great, amazing view of the lagoon, absolutely loved our stay from start to finish. 100% recommended.

United StatesThe included breakfast was a bit poor. I informed beforehand I was vegan and they said I didn’t have to worry about it. In the end there was no note about it for our room and I had to remind them everyday about it. One day I explained and asked not to be served eggs, but bacon was still on the plate. The other day the lady didn’t want to make me the plate with just bread and beans because it should come with eggs and bacon. The only other option was a (very small) plate of fruits. There are itens on the menu you can pay extra, which I felt wasn’t very honest with the guests if you say breakfast is included. They should be a bit more accommodating and think about dietary restrictions- either for choice and health.
Waking up pretty much inside the lagoon was perfect. Having relaxing breakfasts there while looking into paradise.

CanadaThe room didn’t have a fridge, it would have been nice to have some cold water on hand.
This property is gorgeous and has the best hospitality and kindest staff. Aside from the breathtaking view of the lake, the rooms, grounds, and common areas are very well decorated. Bed and pillows are very comfy, and all linen was fresh and clean. The shower was warm and the water pressure was perfect. Breakfast is included and enjoyed in Raiz, the hotel’s restaurant. Unlike other free hotel breakfasts, their’s is made to order and absolutely delicious and filling. However, not to be missed is their a la carte menu, we tried their guac, chilaquiles, chicken sandwich and french toast - all made skillfully from scratch with the freshest high quality ingredients - Chef Pablo is absolutely amazing! Unexpectedly, I had the best cinnamon roll of my life in this hotel restaurant, I loved it so much that I brought a few back to Canada. Craft cocktails made by Carlos at the bar should not be missed either. Incidentally, when our rental car didn’t start one day, Carlos went out of his way to find jumper cables and moved his car to assist us, saving us time and money. Our server Ruby, had the most welcoming smile and gave the best service without fail every single day. Charlie the security guard was also a delight to be around at night, we felt very safe. Karen in front desk and all the housekeeping staff were all excellent.

AustraliaOnly one 500ml bottle of water per person per day - given the cost of the rooms and unsafe tap water some more water could be provided! This is not enough at all
Great comfortable beds, good AC, clean rooms A lovely spot on the lake where you can watch the sunrise and pass the time swimming in the lagoon, sitting on the beach chairs, swinging in the hammocks. A simple yummy breakfast of eggs, fruit and coffee. The staff were friendly

CroatiaNo sun umbrellas so beach chairs are unusable unless you want to burn your skin. Kayaks would be great since other properties around them have them. No place to dry towels.
Located on the beautiful part of laguna with great beach access. Even though they do not have a private parking there is a lot of space to park your car on the street. Extremely clean, the room is cleaned daily (including shower). Great water pressure in the shower. Good breakfast. Helpful staff of front desk.

United KingdomIt is a little bit of walk into town down mostly unlit roads without pavements so I would recommend getting taxis in and out. It would be great if the hotel had their own kayaks to rent for sunset as you can’t watch it from the hotel’s access. Other than that - nothing, we had a lovely time.
The view of the lagoon is beautiful and the rooms are clean, spacious with great showers. The breakfasts are really nice although you have to pay extra for things like french toast, breakfast sandwiches and avocado toast. Staff are welcoming and friendly, especially the cute dog!

Great room with amazing lagoon view, clean and nice staff. To get to the city center it requires to get a taxi, but its not that bad as its cheap and not longer than 10 min to get there. The hotel has its private lagoon entrance so its worth its far location from the center. The hotel offers boats tours reservations.

MexicoThe only thing we didn't like was that after spending all our time in the hotel and buying plenty of food and drinks, we were charged 50 pesos for a broken glass in the room. It leaves a bad taste because it's something tiny to be charged for.
The hotel is beautiful and directly at the lagoon. As a result, you don't have to go out of your way to find a place to enter the lagoon, which can be tricky in Bacalar. The food and drinks are amazing too, so you really don't have to leave the hotel for anything.. So relaxing! The hotel looks new and is clean.
