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 StatesThe hotel was off a noisy highway that you could hear most of the night. The staff had a burn pit that the smoke came into the room in the morning. There are screens and blinds but no windows.
We loved that the hotel was right on the lake and provided paddle boards & kayaks. The bed was very comfortable anf the shower was hot. The staff were friendly.

PanamaAs mentioned above, the shower needs an improvement.
The breakfast and all of the food was exceptional. The staff very friendly, the prices were very reasonable , our room was spacious, but sparse and a lot of road noise. We had earplugs, which helped and the bed was comfortable. The pressure of the shower was minimal, a huge shower, but not good pressure. Hot water was on and off, so the shower needs improvement. We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed it, it’s very quiet and peaceful. We spent a day on the dock and used kayaks and paddle boards and spent an afternoon at the pool the next day. Pool is very cared for and clean, its lovely.

Netherlandsthe noise!! the rooms have no glass (there are wooden blinds only) and therefore all the noise from the highway comes day and night in your room. We needed ear pluges to reduce the noise to an acceptable level for sleeping. It can be fixed with glass in the windows! The room misses reasonable lights and chairs for comfortable sitting
excellent located to the shore, very nice garden and outlook for dinner and breakfast, nice personnel

United KingdomThe room was shall we say ‘minimalist’ and there were no seats or hammock on the rooftop terrace so we couldn’t use this.
The staff were super friendly and were quick to respond to the WhatsApp concierge service when we needed a taxi in the evening to Bacalar which was a short ride away. The lakeside location was superb, a couple of sun beds on the deck would have made it perfect and we loved the free kayaks!

Belgiumjust some recommendations to improve : breakfast is too small and no choice no natural yogurt and a few toast with margarine and marmelade clean sheets means spotless however no stains at all that is it hoe it is supposed to be water should be given in closed sealed bottles with a date otherwise not safe for gringos so even eco doesn’t matter ( for health inspection is it not correct)

AustraliaThe room could have had a fridge. and whilst it didn’t bother us, you are about a 7 minute drive from the main town so keep that in mind if you don’t have a car or want to have some drinks.
The staff here are such kind and lovely people - thank you for treating us so wonderfully. the rooms are very spacious and a cool design. the terrace with the hammock was great. breakfast was light but perfect for us and nice and fresh. the grounds are very well kept and it was great to use the kayaks and stand up paddle board. the hotel is also very peaceful and relaxing

MexicoMy only complaint about the hotel is it's location relatively near the highway which at times let's you hear the traffic. Kinda ruins the whole isolated, middle-of-nature feel of the place
