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.).

IrelandMost staff had no English which made it very difficult to communicate. The door to our bedroom didn't close properly and there was no way to keep mosquitoes out; we were eaten alive during the night. Food at the hotel was super expensive.
Fabulous location, right on the beach and with a pool.

IrelandThe downside is that there's no bigger store around it where you can get a bunch of fresh fruits or something. I had to take the taxi to downtown tulum to get some stuff. Otherwise there are some smaller shops close by and a lot of restaurants.
I stayed 5 nights in one of the countainerrooms. It was clean and comfy. The shower and toilet are outside just around the corner, which made it super special for me. I was there during the rain season. Using the bathroom during a heavy rain shower was something else. Loved it 😄 Nice bar and a comfy beachbeds. The beach itself is beautiful. You can walk for miles past a bunch of interesting hotels.

Nice location, great food at the restaurant and the staff helping out at the restaurant were really nice. Lovely outdoor bathroom.

AustraliaWe found there were not a lot of amenities in the room. So if you need tv/coffee machine /kettle / fridge this is not in the room and perhaps the area is not for you. Tipping housekeeping was also a thing that was requested which is the first time I have ever encountered this. We did it but really would prefer the hotel just to include this in price
Location was great, sunbeds on the water were amazing and very relaxing throughout the day. It does take a day or two to settle in and the food at the hotel is good considering the price. Be prepared to pay higher than normal pricing. The front staff helped us with an issue in room booking, the room we were assigned Posideon was very noisy with music.

LithuaniaWe didn't enjoy the bathroom much. It was kind of outside but had a roof so it got very humid. The water in the shower was weird, smelly and salty. It was duable for few days stay. Bad wifi connection in the room, but great at the beach. :)
Perfect location, quite and beautiful beachfront. Lots of cabanas, beach beds and lounge chairs. All the staff from the receptionists to the beach club bartenders and housekeepers were very friendly and helpful. Beach club food was also great. You can also join morning yoga class with ocean view that we really enjoyed.

United StatesThere was no WiFi signal in our room (Olympic), so we sat in the chairs right outside the room or on the deck overlooking the beach road when we wanted/needed to go online. Not a huge deal, but somewhat annoying.
The beach is absolutely beautiful, the cabanas/beach beds and lounge chairs are comfortable, and all the staff - from the receptionists Ennio and Coty, to the beach club bartender and wait staff, to the housekeepers - is very friendly and helpful. Drinks and food are very good. Our room (Olympic) & bathroom had rustic charm and were very clean and spacious. Housekeeping is great with room cleaning and filling the pitcher daily with drinking water. Upon check-in, guests are given one free WiFi access code per guest per device (so if you have a cell phone and a laptop, you need an additional code). The hotel does not have parking, but the scooter rental place directly across the street has a big lot at a good rate (we paid 200 pesos per 24 hrs). Plenty of restaurants are within walking distance, as is Ven a la Luz. We loved everything about our stay and would definitely stay here again.

Switzerland- it was a bit loud due to the non insulated straw roof - the lunch menu starts only at 12:30 and they make no exception :( hence we had to go out for food a few times as we wanted to have no breakfast but an early lunch
- the room was quite unique with a rustic built and straw roof (Poseidon) - great beach bar with sunbeds, beachfront and very nice food (I recommend Alquimia guacamole and fish tacos) - the staff was very nice - the massage was good value for money

United KingdomUnfortunately our room had a problem with the drains - the smell coming out of the sinks was unbearable at times and completely stunk out the room. Should be an easy fix to put a pipe with a u-bend in which should help stop the smell coming out. This is the main reason we couldnt score the hotel higher. The room could do with some coffee/tea making facilities - the restaurant doesn’t open until 9am meaning you have a to wait a while to have a morning drink. The room was very dark making it quite hard to put makeup on in the evening - some more/brighter lights would help.
The property is in a great location - right on the beach and walking distance to restaurants and pharmacies. The staff were really lovely & helpful. The restaurant on the beach is great - really good cocktails, good food & chilled atmosphere which is nice compared to a lot of the other beach clubs further up the beach. Having walked up and down the beach daily - there was no where else we wanted to be!

United KingdomThe bed was a little hard but nothing to put me off coming back!
The room we selected wasn't available when we arrived at the property because of a glitch in the system - but to make up for it, the staff gave us a room which looked equally good to the one I'd booked and added in free breakfast which definitely made up for it - the coffee was so good and the huevos rancheros was the best I've had in Mexico, and right on the beach! The staff were very friendly, spoke good English and very attentive. The pool and the massage beds next to the waves was just what we needed to escape. We were a bit jet lagged and still working on English time but this gave the best opportunity to watch the sunrise on the beach which was magical! I've already recommended alquimia to family and I'd definitely go back, and I also love the focus on eco tourism that's prevalent here

United StatesNo coffee in rooms, the water for showers and in sinks was unfiltered and salty. There was a chemical smell from something that was fixed before we entered the room, but otherwise we enjoyed ourselves and it was comfortable and cute.
Staff was lovely and very helpful. They assisted us in booking a shuttle service to and from the airport. They were communicative and as helpful as could be. The hotel location is right in the middle of everything so it is easy to get around. There is a food truck roundup and bar steps from the hotel and there is also a cab que there as well.

AustraliaTulum is expensive against the Aud$. Add that to the loud music from most of the restaurants and hotels and it took away the peaceful few days we were looking for. Alquimia was great as it was quieter. It does need some upgrades but l am sure post Covid many hotels are still recovering.
Great location. Restaurant for breakfast and lunch was amazing. Hotel is small and right on the beach. It is nice and quiet as msny around have loud music playing day and night. It needs a bit of TLC but is good value and comfy. The massage person was excellent and we would wake to green sea tutrle tracks all along the beach! Beautiful spot.

United StatesOur room was on the first floor and on one of the nights we could hear noise coming from the rooms above. Luckily it lasted for about 20 min, so it wasn't anything too bad. The room could use a few more power outlets and ours only had one for the entire room. I always bring a power strip for those reasons, so this is something to keep in mind.
The location is perfect, with lots of restaurants and places around to visit. The staff is super friendly and helpful, and the hotel installations are very well maintained. The parking across the street is helpful (aside from the price of 200 pesos per night), but it's good to have it right there. Abd the rooftop viewing deck is AWESOME, we loved it!!!
