Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United States of AmericaThe staff at Maya Beach Hotel went above and beyond. I would definitely recommend that people stay there and I would stay there again every time I am in Placencia. There is no better place to be! The staff made my and my mother's experience unforgettable and the service was impeccable.

United KingdomThe sofa bed was very uncomfortable, springy, and loud whenever you moved. We felt that the hotel was a little too expensive for what it was offering. The staff were efficient and responsive, but not always very friendly. We felt a bit as though we were putting them out when we asked for anything.
Beautiful location, the beachfront was a lovely setting. The pool was really nice and we had access to paddle boards ( the sea is very calm in the morning), kayaks and bikes. We were given a free drink on arrival which was a nice touch. The room had great facilities and was comfortable and spacious. The hotel dog and cat were so cute and friendly. Great cocktails at the bistro.

United States of AmericaWe had a room at the end of the property, which was perfect. But a few of the rooms near the restaurant and lobby I’m guessing would’ve been fairly noisy.
I’ve never had a room so close to the beach and it was incredible! The room was spacious and clean. We really enjoyed our stay!

Loved the friendly staff, being 50 steps to the clean beach, felt safe, good sized clean air conditioned room, the kayaks, sup, beach chairs & hammock to use. Because it was a bit from Placencia village, it felt a bit more relaxing. Also loved the fresh coconut directly from the tree.

United States of AmericaThe Maya Beach Hotel is located in Maya Beach, a beautiful area on the Placencia peninsula. Our room was right on the beach where we could sit on the patio with our complimentary drinks and watch the palm trees sway in the wind. It is next to the Maya Beach Bistro which outstanding and has won awards for its food. From there it’s an easy drive to Placencia town where we got a snorkeling excursion to Silke Caye. We also rented a kayak there. The hotel offers kayaks but you launch directly into the often windy Caribbean. Launching from the bay side in Placencia made more sea to us. In any case, the Maya Beach Hotel is a great choice for exploring the peninsula.

United States of AmericaIt would be great to be offered an included breakfast . The owners are considering such. Also, it would be great to have a shuttle service into Placencia Village. A shared shuttle from Belize City airport might reduce the cost per person. That would be helpful!!
Breakfast was good. There were many good choices and portions were generous. The owners are considering an included continental breakfast which would even be better!The owners were very accommodating and eager to address and resolve any concerns. They were extremely generous and fair in doing such. You can’t ask for better than that! We would love to return!
