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.).

United StatesA wonderful visit. Casa Hormiga is a serene place with architectural patterns of Morocco, India, and Mexico, evocative textures, and inspiring forms like the soaring palapa to nest under. There is A beautiful library of Taschen art books. Places for rituals of Mexico and India with expert guides. It’s an incomparable setting with a wonderful staff for wise advice. Warm and welcoming. With a bountiful breakfast, too. Throughout my many memories of travel (India, Morocco, Italy) I will hold this place in the highest regard. My friends and I will return—soon I hope. Bacalar enchanted us.

United StatesWonderful environment - as soon as you step through the doors at Casa Hormiga you enter a peaceful, well-designed gem of a place that is a perfect home base for a Bacalar vacation. Great location, within walking distance to most everything we wanted to do. The staff, kitchen, pool, room are all perfect - can't recommend enough!

United StatesWish the pool was heated 😄 In the morning, it can be a little noisy in the room with cars passing by. The hotel provides earplugs in case you need.
The hotel is gorgeous. Every corner is so cool. The staff is very attentive, the food and drink is excellent. We stayed for one night while visiting from Tulum. I wish we couldve stayed longer. The room was so beautiful. My son loved his bed on the loft. The room is large and the bed and linens are so cozy. I cant wait to come back.

United KingdomNothing. I know my parents were kept awake with the dogs barking and the cockerel in the morning but ear plugs are provided by the hotel - and it’s not their fault so….
Casa Hormiga is a little oasis in a somewhat busy town. This was a last minute booking due to various reasons (now I wish I had booked this place first and for longer!!!). It has been designed exceptionally well to muffle noises from different areas. We loved our room (the kids especially liked their ‘upstairs’ room. Huge bed. First night our youngest slept with us as she had been unwell and it was fine. Pool is deliciously refreshing! Loved it. I really enjoyed the breakfast (and they were kind enough to make us stronger coffee as being Brazilian we don’t like weak coffee) - nothing was ever too much for the staff. The standout point about the stay though was the staff. So kind and attentive. Victor at the desk was so kind - our youngest daughter was ill on the first night and he was so helpful. Also the bar/kitchen staff were also attentive. Honestly, your staff are amazing!!
