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 KingdomNothing that we didn’t like. Restaurant staff are lovely although a little disorganised at times especially when breakfast time is busy - at times not knowing which food is for which table. We had a room that was supposed to have a lake view but it was right next to the kitchen & we could barely see the lake from it.
The property is right on the lagoon - really peaceful & perfect for relaxing & unwinding. The sunrises here are spectacular. Staff very helpful especially the bar staff.

Great location, quiet with one of the best view of Bacalar. If you can book the room with the view on the laguna, do it (a bit more expensive tough). Great staff and nice little bar and restaurant. That’s a no brainer: I would definitely go back there if I come back to Bacalar. I wish I could have stayed longer there!

NetherlandsHonestly, I can't fault this hotel or the restaurant (Raiz) at all. It's very rare that I can say this given all of my travels across the world. From the minute we booked, we had very friendly and clear communication with the hotel staff. My husband and I arrived early, but that was no problem; we were able to get into our room earlier than expected with no problems at all. The hotel is very well kept, the room was super clean, spacious, and just like new. The bed is comfortable, and the shower pressure is the best we have had our whole trip so far. Special shout out to the staff at restaurant RAIZ, which is within the hotel complex. From day one they remembered our favourite drinks, the foods we liked, how much hot sauce I liked on my eggs and in my spicy margaritas (which was ALOT mind you). They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and looked after at all times and the food is all delicious! I wish I could have more of Pablo's extra special hot sauce and take it home with me! We have nothing but praise for this whole establishment and the staff and would 100% recommended to stay here and we will definitely come back again.

MexicoThe hotel is pretty expensive compared to other places we have stayed in Mexico
This is a nice new hotel right on the lake shore. It isn't fancy or luxurious but it is new and clean. The staff is exceptional. They are always available to help with questions or booking a tour. The included breakfast was very good as well. Again, not fancy, but good portions and well prepared

United StatesWe ended up extending our stay because we loved the hotel so much! Upon checking in we were blown away by the amazing view. Our room was so convenient it was steps away from the lagoon. The entire facilities were spotless and the staff were very warm and friendly. The breakfast was fantastic. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend.

NetherlandsLoud music during the day, begins quite early during breakfast, which we could hear in the room. Breakfast options could be diversified, at the moment just a variety of egg dishes.
Spacious clean room. Lakeview with good sunbeds. Nice staff. Fixed the AC the same day after reporting it :) Lunch, try the avocado toast.

The location of this hotel is excellent! It's right on the lagoon and directly across from Isla de los Pajaros. (For you birders that plan to go during migration, this is a great spot.) The hotel has a bar and restaurant on site. Since they only opened a few weeks ago the restaurant only offers breakfast (excellent!) and lunch (didn't have it), but will soon offer dinner service as well. The staff at this hotel and restaurant were all friendly, accommodating, and super helpful. Carlos (owner/manager) helped us with booking a private lagoon tour, made recommendations for restaurants, and was super attentive. The rooms are a good size and offer plenty of space for working or lounging. The facilities are new and everything was in working order and clean.
