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.).

United KingdomThe only suggestion is the room could of have bedside tables.
I absolutely enjoyed my stay at Alquimia Hotel. The room is clean with AC already been put on when we arrived.😊 The stuff prepared a bowl of water for us to wash the sands of the feet. The room is spacious because it's very high ceilings perhaps 4 meter. The bathroom is also very spacious, two sinks and a large shower space. Also huge dressing mirrors in the room and bathroom. I'm also delighted to say that there is no ants or mosquitoes in the Boya room. The other good thing is that it's really quiet in the evening throughout to morning which guaranteed a good sleep. Lots of activity at this place swimming pool, spa, food, swing, beach, kayak and a lovely golden retriever 😊

The location is awesome if you want to be near the beach and all the popular locations in Tulum. The staff were very nice and accommodating with all my queries and were able to answer all the questions I had. And Honey, the dog, was a wonderful addition to the staff when going to the front desk.

United KingdomIt would have been nice if the bikes were free of charge. A lot of hôtels do that.
It was perfect for what I needed. Peaceful, quiet, just a little bit of music on the beach. beautiful space. loved the outdoor shower. massages on site. restaurant on site for daytime. In the evening I went to the Italian restaurant right in front of the hotel. My cat was happy. The staff was careful with my cat. The restaurant is a bit pricey compared to the hotel but it’s Tulum price I guess.

United StatesThe rooms were very minimal for the price. No television, coffee maker etc. There was air conditioning but the air was still very stagnant and nothing was able to dry. The noise from the other rooms was terrible! You could hear everything from next door and above. The food at the restaurant was over priced and not that good.
The beach was wonderful. The staff kept it clean of seaweed and the swimming was great!

United StatesThe Alquimia Hotel Boutique is right on the ocean. They probably have the best beach beds of anywhere I saw. Full 4-post beds with drapes and pillows on the beach. The staff was very kind and helpful. I only spent 2 nights but it was relaxing and nice. The beach was a bit windy during the day but that has nothing to do with the hotel.

New ZealandPut me in a room without windows where the booking.com pictures clearly had windows. Shower was rubbish - only warm water and those shell showerheads really don't work. Forgot to bill half the cost up front. Restaurant not open at breakfast or dinner. I don't expect a lot as it is cheap but felt this was poor value for money.
Close to the beach.

Great place. Eco Container rooms are super affordable for what you get, beds are super comfortable and house keeping does a great job every day. the hotel is on the beach and has great beds to relax on and a bar/restaurant to get drinks at. The infinity pool was also great. if you go don’t forget the get a massage too, for $20 you can’t beat them. Overall experience was great. Thanks to our host, the hotel dog Honey, and the best waiter in Tulum, Erben.
