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.).

Nice rooms, very clean. The hotel is on the beach and there is the possibility to order food and drinks on whatsapp (even if the service is very slow).

United StatesDidn’t really have hot water, but the cool showers helped counter the heat and humidity. Mosquitos were bad as it is the rainy season, so would recommend lots of bug spray and would be great if the resort had better ways of keeping them away from the restaurant and bar.
We had a fantastic stay at Palapas Del Sol. We came during the low season and the beach and resort were quiet and beautiful. Room was clean and comfortable. Amenities were great with palapas by the water, delicious food at the restaurant, a stocked gym, and great service through WhatsApp. Would absolutely come back!

GermanyI am not including this recommendation in the review: The flagship of every hotel is the lobby. The first and last thing a guest notices about the hotel is the lobby staff, and that sticks in their mind. I strongly advise the hotel to train the two ladies (you know who I mean 😉) accordingly or replace them. I travel a lot around the world, but I have never encountered anyone so listless, lazy and lacking in empathy. Please do something!!!!!!
Best location on the best part of the beach in Holbox. Friendly staff (with one caveat that I'll get to later), good food, everything good. If you're petty, you can get upset about a lot of things, you have to look at the whole thing 😉.

United KingdomOur children were upgraded to the most amazing ‘penthouse’ room. Our room was a little smaller which wasn’t an issue in itself but it was missing a full length mirror and decent storage. It would have been brilliant to have access to (even if at additional cost) paddle boards, kayaks and bikes.
The location is excellent, by far the nicest part of the Island. Quiet but only a ten minute walk into town along the beach road. The staff are very efficient and attentive, great service at the restaurant. Nice choice of breakfast options and very reasonably priced food options for lunch and dinner. Good value for money compared to a lot of other restaurants along the beach. Beautiful, well kept grounds.

United KingdomWe had lunch in the hotel most days - they were just a little slow on service. The front entrance of the hotel looks quite shabby but we only saw this when we first arrived and when we left so don’t be put off!
We absolutely loved our stay on Holbox and this small hotel was just perfect. It is at the quieter end of the beach - and the much nicer end- with the rooms just a few steps away from the beach with private sunbeds and hammocks, a stones throw from the beautiful water. We had rooms 8 and 9 overlooking the pool and the sea, on the first floor. Again, perfect for us (children sometimes splashing in the pool below but never a problem and it is such a small hotel it may only have been a couple of children when we were getting ready in the evening so no big deal). Rooms were so comfortable with free water provided and a nespresso machine. The breakfast each morning was delicious and could be delivered anywhere - we mainly had it in the lovely beachside restaurant. There aren’t masses of fscilities but who needs them when you have the gorgeous sea on your doorstep! The hotel did have some kayaks I think but we didn’t use them. It was about 10-15 min walk along the beach to centre of holbox. For us this was a high light each evening - to walk along in the sunset and find a bar for a cocktail before dinner. There are also little gold carts availabile in their masses if you need a lift! Overall it was paradise and I would highly recommend a stay here!

United StatesA lot of mosquito and asquilines, one night I couldn't sleep because they were on my bed . It was raining that week,so I believe it was because of the rain. In the morning, all the flights were on the floor. I had to call someone to clean the room early in the morning. And one more thing they need to fix the curtains,we couldn't move easily the curtains to close them, because they were stuck on the wood holder.
The shower was spacious,the beds size 👌,everything was great. super rustic and a vibe of the Caribbean,the wood holding the walls, I really like it. The shells lights super cute, I like the way they have a lot of space to put your clothes and your suite case. For a family of 4, it was a good size The staff always had great humor and the spacious terrace the room had. And closer to punta mosquito.

United StatesUnforunately the staff is unable to control the weather and it was rainy/overcast for the bulk of the time. As a result, there is lots of standing water making travel around the island difficult and really only manageable via taxi's which are side-by-side all-terrain vehicles. Keep your feet up as they have to drive through puddles that will soak you if not careful. Also as a result of standing water, the mosquitoes have you as a banquet. Take a lot of bug spray.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was an off-peak time to visit but resort was still fully staffed with all amenities available.
