Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomDespite the reputation and everything else being amazing, I was a bit under whelmed by other aspects. The service when having food was noticeably slow which I wouldn't normally mind but when paying for a premium place you'd expect more. The beds were really firm which in my opinion made it uncomfortable and our particular room was quite cramped. I now know that's it's possible to purchase a day pass to access the grounds which I would happily have done instead.
The buildings, gardens and location are incredible and the whole complex has a really nice feel to it. There are loads of nice areas to admire the view and relax, including patios, balconies and hammocks. The rooms are beautifully decorated and display Mayan traditional artworks. It is very quick and easy to here by boat from Panajachel for 25 Qtzl (as a tourist).

United StatesThe stairs are very steep, I didn’t realize upon arriving. The stairs have sensors for lights, but sometimes they didn’t turn on and it became dangerous. The facilities (shower and bathroom) are outside, so they were very buggy majority of the time.
I loved how beautiful the property was! It felt like I was living in fairy wonderland all week. There is so much greenery, very peaceful, lots of areas to enjoy the views, sun, and water.

Costa RicaIt might be because I’m not used to their food, but I think the only thing that was a bit off was the food but nothing wrong
The hotel was amazing the views the rooms everything for a really good price the only thing is that I couldn’t get a bigger room because the hotel is booked all year long so make sure to look for a round with many months ahead.

United StatesI didn’t mind the stairs, but this would not be a great place for people who are very overweight. From the dock to the restaurant, the stairs are very steep. It’s probably over 50 feet from the dock to the restaurant.
Beautiful facility, Amazing gardens. everything on the menu is delicious. There are little spots for relaxation. I don’t know exactly but I think there were more than 10 hammocks around the property. We were there in the first week of March. There were tons of butterflies and beautiful birds.

United StatesI had written property in advance that it was our anniversary and that I hoped to have a double bed and not the room with twin beds. I also requested a reservation for the wood fired out tub. I wrote them again a few days before we arrived but when we checked in were told that it was going to be a twin room and that there was no availability for the hot tub. They said that I had not confirmed the hot tub which I believe I had done. I spoke to other guests who had been given room upgrade and was a bit disappointed that we did not get what we asked for. The property itself was so fabulous that in the end it didn't matter.
The facilities were amazing. The property was so beautiful. There were gorgeous plants, trees and flowers and wonderful little nooks all over the property to sit and see the lovely water and volcanoes in the distance. The food was fantastic -bright and fresh and beautifully presented.
