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...).

NetherlandsThe neighbouring location had a festival with very loud music on one day
Room was really good with quiet airco. Our breakfast included eggs of our choice and that made for a very fine breakfast. Manager was very friendly and did his best to help us with our concerns. I enjoyed using the SUP stand up paddle boards which were free to use.

United StatesMore lounge chairs would be better, there was only 2 lounge chairs by the lagoon which was not enough. The property next door, had very loud music starting 8am in the morning, also they were doing some work with loud noises very early in the morning everyday which makes the relaxing unpleasant. While this is not directly hotels faults, it impacts the guest's stay.
The hotel was beautiful, clean, well maintained. Staff was friendly. The location was great, close to everything.

United StatesThe only thing I didn't really like about this place is that they open up the pool and facilities for day use so you get a number of people coming to use the hotel but who aren't actually staying there.
This was a lovely little cluster of cottages right in front of the lagoon. A great bar and restaurant on site, the food we had was really good and great value for the price. Hotel guests have access to free use of kayaks and paddle boards, which is really cool to go out and paddle around and swim in the azure blue lagoon.

United KingdomThe restaurant has decent food, reasonably priced, but service is a bit hit and miss sometimes. We also preordered breakfast for 7:30 and the manager assured us it will be ready by then. Sadly it wasn’t, we had to wait for the food to be cooked and ended up asking for it to be packed to go. We were late for our boat tour and had to eat our eggs etc with hand as no cutlery was included. The lakefront area of the restaurant needs a net or some sort of tarp for rain and cover - rain, leaves, insects and bird poop will eventually season your food unexpectedly 🙃
We had a room on the first floor which was perfect. The access to the lake is great, they have everything you need (kayaks, vests, etc) provided for the guests for free. Rooms are well-maintained, clean, and the bed is so comfy. The lake is beautiful.

United KingdomThe bungalows are a bit close to each others. You can easily see inside your neighbour. A lot of kids so sometimes noisy. The breakfast was OK but Don t eat there the rest of the time.
Lovely setting in a middle of a tropical garden and by the lake. Get up at dawn and go on the pier. Sit down and watch the sunrise. It s outstandly beautiful, calm and relaxing. Modern design bungalow with everything you need.

United StatesRather than something I didn't like, comment for a hotel where I had a great time that I couldn't be more satisfied with: There was no separate ventilation in the shower room, so it seemed like it would be difficult to manage the humidity, which wasn't uncomfortable at all but I hope the quality of this space is maintained for a long time. Also, on a dark night, it might feel a bit far to walk back from the centro. (Some streetlights did not work.)
Their people, hospitality, vibes, foods, amenities and most of every others. It was the best accommodation where I could experience adventure, people, freedom and memories after a long time.

CanadaThe only thing is that in our room, the shower window had no cover…sooo everyone from the restaurant next door can see into the shower…it was kind of weird…until I made eye to eye contact with the Cook from the restaurant…
This is a small boutique Hotel that is perfectly placed on the Lagoon! What is awesome is that you may borrow kayaks & paddle boards and enjoy the beautiful lagoon! We enjoyed the views, the restaurants are decently priced, not cheap but not over the top expensive. The rooms are a good size and the decor and style is super nice, the pool was perfect, not big but just great to have a little swim. And at least the water was not hot so it was refreshing. Service was great, all staff members we dealt with were awesome! You are here for the views, the swim in the lagoon and the water activities. Taxi from the ADO terminal cost 70$ Pesos and 10 minute ride. Walk to the Zocalo is 20 minutes.

IsraelThe water pressure and water temp in the shower were not great. The first evening into the night, there was very loud music coming from the neighboring hotel. But the next day it was quiet again. The staff, while friendly, did not go out of their way to provide tourist info or suggestions or even towels. Only on the 2nd day did we learn we could take towels with us outside the hotel to Los Rapidos. They would've been nice to have the day b4 when we were at the lagoon.
The hotel was beautiful - right on the lagoon. The private dock and use of kayaks and SUP made for a really fun afternoon. The food was excellent, if not a little pricey - but worth it. The music in the background was great and at a low volume. The fact that there were only 9 rooms made the stay quiet and pleasant. Overall, a good stay.

United StatesWe do wish the property toilets in the rooms had quicker flushing water power, we were filling bottles just so you wouldn’t have to wait 10 minutes to flush after someone else. The hotel sold bug spray in the lobby but that was about it, no snack or drink options so you didn’t have to run to a store. The water they provide in the room is never cold or refrigerated which was a bit of a let down when it’s 91 degrees out and all you want is a cold beverage.
Great location, direct access to the lagoon! The staff were all friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our down time here.
