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.).

Kind owners, very helpful. Comfy beds, hot shower with good water pressure. A shared kitchen with water to refill our water bottles was an added bonus! Walking distance from multiple restaurants.

United KingdomShared kitchen was short of knives, and could do with a refresh, though still functional. Towels in the room are getting old, possibly need replacing.
Hosts were very friendly,kind and helpful. Room on top floor had a terrace with table and chairs. Location was close to public access to the lagoon and 15 minutes walk to town. Parking was on the street but safe. 5 mins walk to grocery store. Property was quiet.

LuxembourgThe room was very clean, cosy and had all the necessities: soap, a hairdryer, towels (also a beach towel on request), AC, ventilator, wifi, hot water and even potable water. The hosting family is absolutely lovely and welcoming, and even with my (close to) non-existent Spanish skills, I was able to communicate with no problems. It‘s in a very quiet place directly accross from the lagoon, yet only a 2 minute walk to bathing places, a 15 minutes walk to the city center, 10 minutes to a variety of water sport places and 25 minutes from the ADO station. Cherry on top: very cute dog! I only regret not being able to stay longer. Muchos gracias!

United KingdomI needed to do an early check out (although I only realised the night before) - I wasn't sure what the instructions were (you need a key to unlock and lock the front gate) so having info on that in the rooms would be useful.
Nice place to stay, a little away from the centre of Bacalar but close enough to walk there in ~15 mins (I liked this, although others may not). Clean, comfortable, with a very cute dog.

ItalyThis is a small hotel where you share the yard with the family who owns the place and even if the rooms are simple, you have everything you need. From the terrace you can also see the lagoon. The cleanliness of the place was excellent, the bed comfy. Don’t bother if it doesn’t have a pool; Bacalar lagoon is few steps away and you can chill on the piers for free. We would definitely recommend this place

United StatesGreat location very near public access to Laguna and easy walk to breakfast places and other great restaurants. Close to the pueblo. I had a view of the laguna from my porch outside my room. I liked the proprietor, and all the pets of the family. Delightful all the way around.

United StatesHot water in the morning didn’t seem to be happening, but everything else about the stay made up for the minor inconvenience.
Owner was so friendly and very helpful. Got us in contact with a boat captain to take us on a tour of the Lagoon. Beautiful little place in a great location, only 10 minute walk to all the restaurants in town. Wonderful time!

United StatesThe only issue was that the Wi-Fi seemed slow and sometimes drop.
I liked my stay at Hotel Casa Poblana. The room was clean, quiet, and spacious. There is hot water for the shower, a rod in the closet area for hanging clothes, benches at the ends of the beds, and the windows have screens to keep flying insects out. There is also a deck outside with comfortable wood chairs and a view of the lagoon. The owners responded to my questions quickly. If I come back to Bacalar I would choose this place again.

They even cleaned the room after one night stay and helped us with a taxi to the bus terminal. Would love to stayed longer, would come back! There are several nice breakfast places really close and the main town is 12 min walking.

AustraliaLocation was what it was. It was a 15 minute walk to the centre of town but it was very humid so it was a bit of a drag to walk there. That said, the location also means that it was mostly quiet at night (there were some activities nearby on a couple of days which was loud but I don't think that was usual).
The hosts and the simple vibe of this accommodation made this place like a home away from home. They were kind, simple, and offered a glimpse of a mundane but happy local retirement life. Beds were spacious, bathroom was clean, and filtered water is available. The place is also 5 minutes' walk away from a wharf on the lagoon where we could swim for free.

Casa Poblana is ideal for a few days in Bacalar. Its only a few minutes walk from the lagoon and a few more to the town centre. Almost brand new A/C, there’s a communal kitchen, they also have the comfiest mattresses we’ve come across on our travels!
