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...).

Canada-Unfair waiver policy requiring guests to sign that they’ll be charged for blood stains on sheets. These stains are common and easily cleaned, which makes this policy seem unnecessary. -Blood-stained sheet provided in the room, despite the waiver. We asked for a replacement at check-in, which was provided immediately. However, This should have been checked more carefully before preparing the room. -Inefficient check-in process requiring guests to provide redundant information (name, phone number, etc.), even though this is already available from the booking and a copy of your ID is made. -WiFi signal is weak and intermittent; the WiFi codes in the room don’t work, and you need to get the correct codes from the front desk. -Physical key required (less convenient than electronic locks).
-Cleanliness 10/10 -Air conditioning -Big TV -Friendly staff -Nearly brand new hotel, great value. -Hot water in the shower -Plenty of electric outlets -Front desk staffed from 7am to 11pm (not sure if access is available after hours) - Easy walk along the canal to Playa Chahué. The walk is pleasant, with sidewalks, shade trees, and many people jogging or walking their dogs. -daily room cleaning available if desired. -drinking water is sometimes available in lobby.

United StatesIt would have been a pleasant addition if they had a pool, especially considering the warm weather in Huatulco during March, with temperatures reaching around 34°C throughout the day. Although I only stayed for one night, I couldn't help but think that having a pool would make it an even more appealing option for a vacation spot next time.
I was thrilled with the price and blown away by the sheer beauty of the room and bathroom. The door to the room was like something out of a bank vault, but surprisingly elegant. The bathroom was spacious and luxurious, and I indulged in a fantastic shower experience. It truly felt like I had stepped into a lavish 5-star hotel. Moreover, I was impressed by the staff's impeccable English skills, which made communication a breeze. Not only were they fluent, but they were also incredibly accommodating, ensuring that every aspect of my stay was perfect. It was an experience that exceeded all expectations and left me feeling pampered and well taken care of.

CanadaLong flight of stairs to get to the 2nd floor room, and intermittent wifi. Couldn’t get enough signal for tv, but we didn’t watch tv anyway. Front balcony was nice, though very hot in the afternoon.
Modern, clean, well located in La Crucecita neighbourhood. Air conditioning a plus! Staff very friendly and helpful! Walking distance or short cab to Centro or beaches.

MexicoWe had a few problems with internet and TV, and changed rooms due to a plumbing problem... but everything worked out. I would have likd having a little fridge in the room The staff did everything they could to be helpful and make our stay a pleasant one.
This is a lovely new hotel with very wonderful, helpful. friendly staff!! It is a good walk to the central area.It is quiet and the local people are very kind and friendly. There is a great breakfast place just down the street. The sowers have wonderful hot water!! In he future I would stay in one of the rooms with a kitchenette - so I could cook and keep things cold.

GreeceThe first thing was the Wi-Fi signal at the night was very weak ,it might be the usage of many people and the second thing was the bathroom had not ventilation and that was leading to have a very strong smell Of the aromatic which is alright but also was not so comfortable some times when you wanted to use the toilet and the aromatic was gone …
Everything mostly,great customer service and very helpful all the stuff !!!very nice people and super clean place, Eduardo ,Raymundo Diego and also the housekeepers (I can’t recall their names)they re great in what they re doing!! Congrats

CanadaShower was either too hot or too cold but would stay again regardless. Was a tad bit out of the town center but by car, it takes 5 minutes.
Brand new hotel situated in a quiet central part of town. Some rooms come with fully equipped kitchens which we loved as we were able to make dinner and relax. Amazing king beds/ sheets/ pillows and extremely clean. Hot water. Amazing staff and service from all. Mr. Manager was super helpful and hospitable and made our stay so perfect. Small grocery food shops next door so you can buy everything you need. Thank you!!

Canada-Was told that my room would (not) be cleaned during my 1 week stay, which is totally fine by me, but that may not be okay for typically spoiled Canadian and Americans. -No window dressings/coverings on the windows, so I had to stuff pillows along the frame, to black them out. -ALL room doors of all the patrons were incredibly loud to open and close. Not sure if WD40 could fix the problem, or if they'd need to be re-hung/framed properly.
-Front Desk staff were FANTASTIC!!! -15 minute walk to central La Crucecita

GermanyThe only thing I missed was a paper bin in the room, everything was great.
It is a new hotel, located outside the city centre, in a residential area, a 15 minute walk to the centre or the beach. There are grocery stores and places to eat around and the area is really quiet and felt very safe. Bed was super comfortable, A/C and Internet worked really well. I stayed in the room with the kitchenette and could prepare breakfast and simple meals. The best of the hotel was the staff, everyone was really friendly and ready to help. They gave me the best tips for beaches/restaurants and helped me with organizing the tours. I would definitely stay here again. I booked the first night and in the end stayed five.

NetherlandsUnfortunately, only the idea is nice. This hotel is focused on control and money and keeping their property as “clean” as possible without any attention on a good client service. The space of the hotel looks open for where the general area and balcony’s are in the open air. Still, it’s all closed and so is the feeling of staying here. They put too much attention on rules around how you need to behave and take care of your room but 0 attention on the experience of the client. You aren’t allowed to smoke in the open air on your balcony or the general area, but the main door of the hotel is closed after 11pm untill 7am in the morning. How a client can get out between this hours, is unknown. This would all get a different touch, if the receptionists and owner were nice and client service focused but they aren’t. A small “hello” is all you get when you cross them, if you greet first by yourself. In the meantime they are just watching the screen of all the camera’s, keeping a close eye on what you are doing and don’t try to leave the property without a control of how you left the room. I am a clean person myself but this went too far. I didn’t feel welcome and it’s obvious they don’t like tourists/visitors from other places. At arrival there wasn’t any hot water and despite more complains of also other clients: not one of the workers put any effort to solve this. Later, a hurricane arrived: instead of keeping any eye on the clients, or informing them or something, the owner was busy protecting the big screen televisions. Not any attention for the clients themselves.
The idea is nice. A modern, simple studio with the basics you need.
