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 StatesA little far from the town center, but very close to the bus station. Breakfasts were very good with a lot of variety. Host was helpful in getting my laundry done quickly and in finding me a tour group to the lagoon. Good size room and nice courtyard.

United KingdomThe location was a bit of a walk from the centre which some might not like. However we liked the walk and could see how people lived and went about their daily business.
Lovely staff, beautiful rooms and nice courtyard where breakfast was served. Breakfast was traditional Mexican and substantial. Also very quiet and so had good night's sleep. Beds were good quality - one soft mattress and one hard so you could chose your preference. Would highly recommend.

GermanyWe loved this place. The room was modern, nice, and super clean and there was a nice patio to sit outside. We felt at home instantly. Breakfast was really good, there are bikes to rent and the hosts are the best. They were super kind, explained possible activities in Bacalar to us when we arrived and when we fell sick they took care of us. We would always come back!

GermanyCasa Zazil is not located downtown, so you have to walk down to the lagoon for 10-15 minutes. This wasn‘t a problem for us and we absolutely felt safe, but worth considering if you have trouble walking in the heat.
We had an exceptional stay at Casa Zazil! Carmen went out of her way to make sure we had the best time - she even surprised us with a decorated room because it was our honeymoon! The breakfast was excellent and Carmen recommended a lot of great places (e.g. los Rápidos and she also organized a taxi there for 200 pesos). She even gave us a ride down to the lagoon when she had the time. The room was great and the water pressure in the shower the best we have encountered in Mexico. Casa Zazil also provides free water! We loved our stay there and would absolutely recommend it!

GermanyWLAN is good, but the signal was only strong enough for a video call on the terrace
We loved this small hotel! Really friendly hosts and a nice atmosphere with very clean rooms. The breakfast is amazing and they even ask you what you prefer, which was great for us as vegetarians but must also be nice for vegans. The bed was very comfortable. Sadly we only stayed there for one night since on our way back from Mahahual and we already went to Bacalar the week before. Otherwise we would have tried all the great tips they provided. We definitely recommend staying here!

It had a safe in the room, good air con, powerful shower & filtered water available in the reception area. The two ladies in charge were really helpful & tailored our breakfast to suit our needs.

SloveniaI cannot praise this accommodation enough. The owner was so kind. She explained everything to us on arrival - what was worth seeing, what the prices were, what restaurants she would recommend. Even though she didn't speak English, she did her best. The location is great as we could walk to the city centre. The room was wonderful! Large and very tastefully furnished. The bathroom was also great. Everything was very clean. But the best thing was the breakfast! So delicious and every day we got something different. We were so happy with the accommodation (and the city) that we stayed an extra day.

United StatesEverything was great, but in the interest of complete transparency, the location is not too close to town or the lake, so it's best if you have your own wheels.
This place is a 10+. It's immaculately clean and extremely tastefully decorated, with a very comfortable bed and a really nice bathroom. But it's the extras and the attention of Carmen the hostess that make it extra special. She prepares a custom-made gourmet breakfast (different each morning and with a couple options) with home-made juice. My wife had a bad stomach the second day and she made a special herbal tea to cure her and gave her an electrolyte drink to help make her strong. She was the nicest and most caring hostess we've had in the last 100 places we stayed. Can't say enough good things about the place and, in particular, Carmen!
