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 KingdomExcellent value for money, villa on the shore of the lagoon. Kayaks and boat hire available for rent. Breakfast is a specific la carte menu but other items from the menu cost extra. Breakfast quality was ok.

BelizeThe pool was rather dirty (even after someone appeared to clean it) and the steps into the lagoon are quite unsafe and slippery. Overall I think they're not making the most of the place's potential.

United StatesThey were not prepared for us, the room did not have shampoo, towels, or soap. They also seem to have some kind of septic issue, the place smelled of drainage the first day. Last, there was a ceiling fan above the shower, this is an electrical hazard.
Breakfast was good.. It varied per day.

On the lagoon. We loved swimming and relaxing on the deck. Easy, fast checkin. The staff were lovely and always ready to help, and helped us organise tours. Good breakfast. Two choices (continental or hot option of the day). Plus tea, coffee or juice. The fresh juices made for a great start to the day

AustraliaIt was very quiet at night, so it may not be the best place to stay if you’re more of a night owl and want to have a few drinks by the water. Everything got very quiet after 9:30/10:00 pm and even a small amount of noise sounds very loud when everything else is very still and quiet. Excellent spot for early sleepers though! It’s a bit far from town with little else around. This was fine for us, because we wanted to relax and be on the water, but it required a little extra planning for ensuring we had supplies for the room, and getting dinner (this would be okay with a car or bicycle though). Lastly, our room was on the side of the building closest to a large wall which largely obstructed the lagoon view (though we could still see it). The rooms on the pool side appeared to have a better view as they weren’t so near to the wall.
I had an excellent stay here. Great value for money with breakfast included and with a dock directly on the lagoon. Breakfast was a simple but filling affair, with a savoury or sweet option. There was also an a la carte menu selling other dishes at a reasonable price. There’s a small convenience store and small & well priced local restaurant across the road directly opposite the hotel, which is good to grab a few essentials since town is a little far without a car. The hotel offers kayak rental which is a great activity for a day/sunset. My friend and I watched the sunset and moon rise, which was incredible. Lovely staff who were always around to help with whatever we needed help with, and more than happy to call us a taxi or order food delivery in the evening. Definitely a great experience for us.

United StatesThe rooms are old and outdated, and the one we stayed in was a little small. The free breakfast was just okay. It was lacking, but not terrible.
You have direct access to the lagoon. We were able to swim when the waters were calm. The view is phenomenal and it's a short ride to the center of town. The rooms have AC. They also allow dogs! And they have kayak rentals. I would stay again for sure.

United StatesAt check in, the young man accidentally overcharged us. I do not think it was deliberate at all. He had just checked in a large family who had the largest room on the property and did not clear the price when he checked us in. He did not know how to correct it, but said the manager would do so when she returned. When we returned from dinner, it was all credited back correctly, and then paid for correctly. BIG problem though is that there is only about a 1/2 inch lip on the shower area, so each shower floods the bathroom with water. There also is not a bedside table, either between the beds or beside.
This is seemingly a new hotel right on the laguna. The room was clean and spotless.

CanadaWe were told at check in there was a restaurant for dinner but it was only open for breakfast-I expect that was because we stayed over Christmas, so it might not be the norm. The family dog and cat that lived on site were a delight.

CanadaDownsides: - breakfast not available until 8:30am - no kitchenette in rooms, and bringing your own food is not allowed as they have a small restaurant onsite. A small fridge would probably be appreciated by guests! - pool onsite could have been better serviced/cleaned
Unbeatable location right on the laguna was definitely worthwhile. Nice outdoor area by the water including some shaded areas near the dock, which was much appreciated with the heat. The rooms were simple but clean. Nice breakfast with generous portions were included. We relied on our rental car to get around, as the hotel is on the main highway, outside of the central area. Bacalar is a charming town that is worth exploring.
