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 KingdomThe hotel was amazing. Set between the jungle and the beach it has plenty of space for guests to relax, eat and drink and always felt calm and exclusive. From start to finish the staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. The food was good quality and the hotel is a short walk to a number of great restaurants.

United StatesPool water slightly musty. Beds a little too soft for those with back problems. ATM’s in area dispense only USD with high fees. No fatal problems.
Beautiful, swimmable, relaxing, fine white-sand beaches. Large swimming pool. Breeze thru beach-side bar very pleasant, especially when hot outside. Staff friendly, helpful. Rooms spacious, easily accessed near food service, pool, and beach. Excellent, walkable nearby restaurants.

Hands down the best hotel I’ve ever been to. From arrival till departure, the staff were welcoming and super helpful. The jungle side accommodation is brand new and definitely the best from a pool perspective. Stunning views from the room and delicious cocktails - what more can you ask for?! Will return asap.

United StatesEverything was perfect during our stay. The room was amazing, the hotel is beautiful, minimalist elegant architecture with nature being the spotlight. Very quiet and relaxing atmosphere. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Special thank you to Ana at the reception, Oscar at the bar/restaurant and Miguel who was always greeted us with a smile on his face. Food at the hotel is also very good with several vegetarian options. We would definitely stay here again.

United KingdomRaccoons were trying to get through the straw roof into my room and almost got there until I alerted the staff. A piece of cardboard was put up to block the hole, which was quite unsightly!
A breathtaking room and resort! The spa was fantastic, I could have spent all of my time in there. The food was delicious and the staff were super accommodating, polite and responsive.

United KingdomI think it’s perhaps slightly overpriced, however the location demands a slight premium - it’s right in the heart of the hotel zone. However, this also means that you are right in the middle of throngs of tourists which, whilst great for some, we prefer a slightly more authentic experience - but that’s more of a knock on the area, rather than the hotel.
First of all, the aesthetic of the hotel is absolutely perfect - perhaps the most stylish we’ve ever stayed at. Breakfast was great, as was the swimming pool in the jungle side of the hotel. The staff were also incredible and couldn’t do any more to make us feel looked after during our stay. We had quite a big 8 legged friend come to pay us a visit on our last morning (it is the jungle after all) and the manager came to our rescue and removed it by hand and managed to keep it alive! The beach bags are also to die for. Lovely hotel!

United Kingdom-The towels in the room were very old and grey looking. They definitely need replacing, and were sub standard and not what is expected for a hotel like La Valise and a member of SLH. -Room could have done with a coffee machine and was a bit basic.
-Great staff, made some amazing recommendations for lunch and dinner and organised a great private driver to take us to the Tulum ruins and an amazing cenote. -Lovely big water jug in the room that was filled up regularly -Walking distance to some great restaurants -Fantastic clean beach, they clear the seaweed every morning and it was beautiful. -The sunrise from our room was incredible -Excellent WhatsApp service, they reply super fast -Lovely and quiet, no beach bar noise from anywhere which we loved -Really nice and friendly guests -I definitely recommend beach view rooms - the views are exceptional!

United KingdomI was sad to learn all the hotels on the beach are powered by very big noisy generators, burning fossil fuels day and night. The road running behind the beach constantly smells polluted & I dread to think what their carbon footprint is. Would be amazing if the hotel installed some renewable energy to combat this. There is so much sun & wind on this beach that it wud be a genuine energy source.
The hotel is absolutely gorgeous, we stayed in one of the cheaper garden rooms & I was a bit worried the room wouldn’t be that nice but it was perfect. Lovely outdoor bathroom, & plunge pool outside. V private & quiet. The hotel is located a bit further down from the big beach clubs so quiet at night. Beach is stunning, as is the pool. Staff will sort anything for you, all via whatsapp. A real 5* experience which was a relief as we had a few disappointments in Mexico.

United KingdomThe property is absolutely stunning. Located on the best stretch of beach in Tulum, it is in a quiet and peaceful zone but it is easy to get to all the amazing restaurants. We loved that there was a beach and a jungle side and you have access to both. The staff are exceptional, they go above and beyond every day. They made us feel so welcome and as if we were at home away from home. Nothing is too much for them, they really made our stay. Special thanks to Cris and Alejandra.

United KingdomI would have liked a gym or fitness facility given it’s a premium hotel. Also the entire strip where the hotel is located is bizarre, a lot of really premium expensive restaurants and shops next to a hotel that has been closed down.
Property itself was really nice, it had its own private beach and the room we stayed in which was jungle side was amazing.

United StatesThank you to the amazing La Valise hotel, we had such a wonderful time. The entire hotel was so relaxing and beautiful, located at a great spot along the beach - close to lots of amazing restaurants but also quiet and relaxed. It’s simply stunning! The everything from the atmosphere, decor and food was really outstanding. We enjoyed the breakfast everyday with a beach view. What really sets this hotel apart is the 5-star service and care from all staff, where you receive a unique experience at a truly boutique hotel. Any request you have is followed up via What’s App, making it so easy to arrange anything you need. We even extended our stay to downtown Tulum and La Valise kept our airport transfer and checked on the day to make sure our pick up was smooth. First class service! Thank you again La Valise and everyone who liked after us so well, for an incredible time which includes seeing a turtle on beach under the full moon! Thank you thank you! We hope to come back soon, we loved it!
