Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 AmericaAlthough the mini split kept the room very cool, it dripped all the time, and the breakfast was very basic-not much of a selection.
The room was a good size and very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the balcony was also a nice size.

United KingdomThe rooms themselves are comfortable but nothing spectacular, though I think this is the case for Bacalar generally as it hasn't had the level of hotel development of say a Tulum - which is in itself part of the charm! We loved Bacalar as it felt authentic unlike the rest of the Yucatan which felt like a part of the USA.
We went on our honeymoon and the staff were so kind and upgraded us to a superior room! The hotel is located on a really convenient location just a couple blocks away from the lagoon and the centre of town. The breakfast also is great value for money and you have the option of a traditional or continental breakfast.

NetherlandsWe had a balcony "with garden view", but the view was only of the street, and all the barking dogs next door made it not a pleasant place to sit. Also - no fault of the hotel, which was brilliant - loud music in the neighbourhood kept us awake till early morning in one instance, as windows are only screened.
Lovely room, very clean, with comfortable bed, good hot shower, and great Wifi. Breakfast was tasty, and the location was ideal: just a couple of blocks to the water, and to the main square.

United States of AmericaThere were gaps in the door and screen window above the shower so bugs had gotten in the first night. Also woke up to 2 roaches that had come in, although my dad killed them inmediately. There were barely any bugs the second night though.
We loved the air conditioning and fan, the front door windows were cute, and the many locks on it helped us feel safe.

South KoreaFirst, all the staff here look unhappy. They seemed they have problems with their own life. Especially the counter lady she never smiles and always looks like she is mad with something. The only time she reacts positive was when I ask whether I can stay one more day, which I didn’t after seeing the room. Secondly, none of us slept well because of the noise at night. Third, the room was humid and the a/c was old. Last, 170$ per night!? Without a swimming pool and it was the smallest two beds compared to other hotels. I guess they set the price towards foreigners, knowing that they don’t have too many other options in Bacalar since I could not see any Mexican tourists in this hotel.
The sheet is clean and white.

AustriaThe front of the room to the balcony is one huge wooden door/wall that has slides that can be locked close, so that no light and mosquitos come through. However, due to it not being entirely shut, hot air comes in / cold air goes out rather quickly. We had to keep on the AC throughout the whole night. Since it was raining heavily on the first day, we had one medium-sized cockroach in the bathroom. This can be avoided by covering the shower drain (incidentally the cup for the toilet brush has the perfect size to cover the drain). This only happened once, during the first night. Overall, it was very clean and looked after hotel!
The man at the reception was very helpful and welcoming. The hotel has a perfect location, 3 minutes away from the public beach and city centre (on foot). The room itself was spacious and always cleaned. Also there is a large balcony. A water refilling station is available as well. The breakfast is okay for the price (we got a bowl of fruits with granola and yogurt; a slice of toast with butter and jam; and scrambled eggs with avocado/hash brown).
