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.).

AustraliaWait staff were very grumpy. Made you feel a bit awkward for asking for things. Needs a kettle in room for tea drinkers. Flooded streets in main town at wet season were a bit annoying as couldnt walk on them, stick to walking on the beach and take plastic sandles. Not the property’s fault though. Soft bed unless you are a small child is quite small and uncomfy for an adult.
Gorgeous little beach front stay. Well kept place, nice pool. In wet season like 20 min walk along the beach to main town. Restaurants and bars along the way. Reception staff were super helpful. Room was lovely.

Hong KongIt’s a little further out than other places and the roads are not great and become easily flooded. We did arrive after hurricane Beryl but I imagine after heavy rains the roads are equally as difficult. Taxi rides were between MXN 200-350 from town. See above for positives regarding location. I picked this hotel as I planned to walk to Punta cocos to see the bioluminescence as it’s a less light polluted part of the island. Due to the rain this couldn’t happen.
The beach in front of the hotel is actually pretty decent compared to other parts of the island where there was a build up of rotting seaweed and a bad smell. The hotel has loungers out for guest to enjoy and the swimming pool, although small, is great to cool off if you prefer not to swim in the sea. The breakfast included a continental which has some yogurt/muesli, a pastry, toast and jam and fruit. For an additional MXN 100 you could add on a cooked breakfast option. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Bedrooms clean. The property is only a 15 min walk along the beach to the town centre.

South AfricaThere was building work going on at the rooftop pool the whole 5 days we were there. The rooftop pool was closed and the banging noises made siestas difficult! We would have appreciated knowing about the building work when we booked as it definitely put a dampener on our stay.

GermanyThe hotel is about a 20 min walk from Centro. The area is a tad secluded but I was aware of it and didn’t mind the daily walk. The wifi is super spotty, actually it is better on the beach than in the room. I was not able to watch anything on TV, which wasn’t too bad because I didn’t come to Mexico to watch series. Unfortunately my room didn’t come with a mini fridge, which kinda sucked as the drinking water that was provided was always lukewarm. The safe was super tricky and never worked for me on the first or second try.
The private beach area was superb. Loungers and towels were free. The continental breakfast was great, smaller portions but sufficient for me. The property was clean, so were the towels and sheets. Cute decorations all around. AC worked great. The rooftop pool was amazing for watching the picturesque sunsets. The staff at the reception was nice and accommodating, even though not everyone spoke English. The restaurant staff was extremely kind and didn’t pester anyone about ordering anything at the beach.

GermanyThe waiting staff were not so attentive but friendly. Often there was staff sitting around on phones in public areas. Not a major but was noted.
The position by the beach was perfect and on the right side as it is less populated than other parts of the beach. The room was lovely and the bed comfy. The reception and cleaning staff were very efficient and friendly. We loved the location and it was a short walk to the centre. We took a sea view room which made the stay for us. The breakfast was also great.

MexicoThere are a lot of fixing going on right now, a wooden floor at the beach the tools handled use petrol, the odor is strong, noise as well. The staff lack of trainig is obvious, the use of diverse playlist can go from rave feeling to rancheras. The moment i stay they were trying the new generator, horay since the beautiful Holbox island suffers from electricity runaways. Yet at the beach was the deck bulding while no internet. Leaving the guest on a second plan, while I do believe we should be at first.
It’s well located and recently opened

United KingdomI think the included breakfast is a bit dull considering that breakfast is an important meal in Mexican cuisine.
We arrived three days after a massive storm. Despite this the hotel had cleaned up the mess admirably well. The hotel’s position is lovely - directly on the beach, only a 15 min walk into Holbox town. Beach view rooms are clean, very nicely appointed and furnished. Beautiful sunsets from the beach loungers every night. Bar and restaurant offer very good quality food during the day and the staff a really helpful and friendly. Would recommend this hotel.

AustraliaThe hotel is not close to the Main Street and the streets around Holbox floods very easily, so it was a little tricky to walk from the hotel to the Main Street and if you walk along the beach the tide comes in so you will likely be walking back in the sea.
Being right on the beach is amazing! The beach club is very nice and staff and very attentive. The room had a very nice beach vibe.
