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.).

IsraelThe cabin was super dark cause the lights were so dim. I had to use my phone's flashlight to go through my things cause I could barely see them at night with all the lights on. The bathroom was very hot and had no windows. It was overall a bit uncomfortable, but for just one night it was fine. I don't think I would stay much longer
The bed was amazing, seriously one of the most comfortable beds I've experienced in a hotel. The sheets were also super soft! The views of the lagoon were so beautiful, and the area down next to the water was great. We even got picked up to do a tour from the pier there, top service. The staff were nice and helpful. There were kayaks, though we didn't use them.

United StatesNothing! Everything was perfect
This was an incredible place to stay! It was the perfect location and they had bikes to use! We didn’t use the kayaks because it was very windy when we got there but we made good use of the life jackets as floatation devices to float in the water. It felt very safe and the staff was very nice! The cabins were spacious, the ac worked great and the beds were comfortable. It’s a quiet place and the private deck was the best place in the world! We all want to come back and stay there!

MexicoThis place was amazing! 😍 Great location! Personnel were super friendly and extremely helpful! Bikes and single person Kayaks were available for free... Great view from the cabins... Cabin 4 was my favorite!! Other cabins are also awesome but 4 was much better than 6 or 7. Jose Antonio, Yoli, and Roberto are awesome! And I'm sorry to the cleaning ladies cause I didn't get their names but the rooms were impeccable.. even though I didn't get their names, I left the cleaning ladies their tips each day though! Overall this place was one of the most beautiful places I've been to!! Thanks Bacalar my love and staff!!

Comfortable and well equipped cabins by the lakeside. Good beds, aircon and showers; lovely views and nice swimming. Generally quiet location. Free kayaks and bikes were really nice. Lovely people running the place. Despite the reviews- the WiFi is excellent and access to town centre easy by taxis or bike .

NetherlandsIf you're booking this place to explore Bacalar, be aware that it's quite far from the center. However, the place does provide bikes, which is great. Since we were aware of the location in advance, we also arranged another stay in the center later during our trip to Bacalar. There are some restaurants within walking distance, but don't expect cheap prices; for more affordable options, you'll need to go to Bacalar center. Be sure to bring mosquito spray with you because the cabin isn't completely mosquito-proof. Keep in mind, you're in the jungle after all. We were prepared for this, so it wasn't a problem that we would have needed to complain about. Maybe a mosquito net over the bed would be a good development for the place :)
Breathtakingly beautiful location with access to the lagoon. We booked this place specifically to enjoy the lagoon, and it was perfect for that! Having free kayaks available was awesome, and we made great use of them for a day. The staff was lovely and always available to help.

United StatesA breathtaking location. the balcony off the main room has just about the best view in Bacalar. There are bicycles and also kayaks available to adventure out to the beautiful bright blue cenotes. And I have to mention the service - very attentive and eager to help. We are definitely returning.

Mexicogiven its location, there are quite a few boat tours that pass by the dock (sometimes every 5 minutes) so if you are looking for tranquility and isolation in nature, this might not be it. I also thought that the way most of the bungalows are placed don’t offer much privacy (get the two front ones if possible). the bungalows were cute and cosy but not mosquito-proof. too bad they don’t serve any foods or drinks, so bring your own or ask the receptionist about delivery.
this property is in a prime location in Bacalar: right above a cenote and in front of some of the best views of the lagoon. 💯 10 min from the centre by bike, provided by the hotel. it’s a lovely ride. kayaks also available free of charge. very nice and helpful staff. excellent value for money. beautiful views in and around the property. large hot shower.

Switzerlandwe were happy with all the services of the hotel
with the coffee machine in the room and our own buys we had breakfast on the deck of our palapa house. unfortenetly we were in house nr. 1 next to the entrance and reception, so we had only a small view to the lagoon. so it was also a bit noisier then the ones closer to the lagoon. for the moment and maybe one year more there is a railroad beeing built and thousands of trucks with material are circulating in the main highway about 200meters away, and they are loud, in europe forbidden for many years already, but we wanted to come to mexico, so we are here. the free bicecles and kayaks are great for sure although we only used the kayaks, but these every morning just after breakfast. good restaurants are also close by, so we were able to walk and taste the wine from baja california! more restaurants are around the central square and another perfect seafood restaurant on the beach, la playita. the photo is takes from up the stairs going to the private deck of the hotel where one can chill out after a heavy paddeling with the kayak.

United StatesSaturday night was noisy from a party scene next door. did I mention bare bones wood board cabin? don’t know if that’s a weekly feature but Sunday night was quiet and restful.
We were in one of the lake facing cabins. Clean, bare bones, hot shower, quick coffee and a front porch. Nice! refills on drinking water were available at the secure reception. No throw away plastic bottles, yay. Stairs down to the deep blue cenote Esmeralda, as pictured. Stone steps into the lake were a little slippery - a good alternative was to leap in from the shaded dock (which features a little fridge!). kayaks available for play. lakeside lounge chairs and picnic tables.
