Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomThe lobster in the pasta was very chewy, but aside from this dish, the rest of the food was very good. The octopus carpaccio for example was delicious! They also charged us quite a bit for breaking a glass, which I understand but thought unnecessary considering the price of the rooms. Still Hotel Mawimbi was absolutely 10/10, would stay again!
Total paradise! Waking up and going for a morning swim in the ocean, having breakfast on the beach, taking a bicycle around the island, dinner by the bonfire: it really is a magical place. The location is excellent, very close to the centre of town without being loud or too busy. The food is good and absolutely worth enjoying a lunch/dinner there just for the joy of eating on the beach in absolute comfort. I LOVED the furnishings - beach lounge chairs of all kinds, hammocks, big suspended beds, wooden chairs. And the family has some adorable dogs wandering around the property so it really feels very homey and comfortable. All the staff are excellent, especially the guest manager who was so kind and very accommodating and efficient.

United StatesDrinks are pricey, but so were all of the places on the beach. There is construction next door due to a fire at the neighboring hotel. The staff did their best to shield us from the noise and even switched our room upon request.
This property and the staff exceeded our expectations. The hotel was lovely. The beach was immaculate. The water was calm, clear, shallow and warm. Each beachfront property had a different feel in Holbox. Some were loud, and and played upbeat music. Others were very casual and touristy. Hotel Mawimbi was beautiful, thoughtful, romantic, and classy. The staff was friendly. They worked tirelessly around the clock to rake the beach, clean the seaweed, and dust and sweep the sand. I've honestly never seen so much work put into maintaining the pristine beach, and gorgeous property. The Hotel was private, yet very centrally located. It was an easy walk into town on foot. There were delicious meals just steps from the property. The breakfast that was included was very yummy and beautifully plated. The coffee was tasty, hot and strong. The tostada de pulpo was delicious and beautiful. We were thoughtfully looked after by quite the staff! Everyone made it a point to know our names. Jimena, Marcia, and Gabriel were approachable and accommodating in the office. Beto was friendly at the bar. Ivan, Christian, and Moses tended to us on the beach, and more. The property was very close to the ferry and all of the action in town. I loved that they tried to use glass as much as possible and limit plastic use. They were really doing their part to keep the island beautiful, and minimize waste. We have no complaints, and we hope to come back!

United KingdomSome light sleepers might struggle with the noise of the mopeds or ATVs (Holbox is a car free island but there are still lots of loud commuters) but nothing some ear plugs won’t help with. We were at the back of the property so felt this a bit more but honestly wouldn’t think twice about going back to Mawimbi because it is sensational and I’m sure all beach front properties struggle with this in this (perfect) location.
Hotel Mawimbi was absolutely stunning, it blew us away, the staff and owners really care and you can see and feel that in lots of details across the hotel. The beach setting is gorgeous, the most luxurious and spaced out of all the hotels we saw in Holbox. The food was also incredible, so easy and relaxing to spend your days at Mawimbi. Cannot wait to go back!

United KingdomBe prepared to pay a service tip on everything including the complimentary breakfast and bring lots of bug spray as the island has lots of mosquitoes.
Quiet beachfront hotel with clean rooms and friendly staff. The hotel is right by the centre of the island and a couple of minutes walk to bars and restaurants. The daily breakfast is interesting and varied and it is lovely to be able to order food and drinks from your sun lounger.

United StatesThe wifi was spotty, but that was for the entire island. Unfortunately it is not a place you could work remote from, but that is a bonus if you are truly trying to disconnect.
The property was amazing. It was right on the beach, the staff was so accommodating and the food was stellar. We loved that the property was small and boutique style because it felt less touristy. We will definitely be coming back and bringing our parents. Our stay exceeded our expectations.

DenmarkThe breakfast was a bit simple and it would have been great with some options to choose from. A couple of the waiters seemed uninterested in the guests. It would be nice with some more hooks for the towels and also the room was a bit small and a little bit difficult to unpack and fit clothes for two persons in the closet.
Location is amazing! Most of the people working there was lovely. Room cleaning was spotless and restaurant and beach area super nice to hang out in. Would definitely recommend and also love to revisit. Also very close to the center of town but still quiet at night. A perfect place to relax.

United StatesThe beach is noisy from bars on both sides of the hotel up and down the beach but of course Mawimbi can not help that. Everything else was perfect!
Mawimbi truly has the best beach on Holbox. I enjoyed breakfast every morning and speaking with the friendly staff everyday. There are more than enough seating options on the beach to choose from and I love the vibe of it being a smaller hotel. The room was spacious and had everything we needed. We booked a room with a balcony but no view and I'd say I'd probably be just as happy paying less for a room with no balcony since the beach is literally steps from your room. Also great location to walk to the center of town. Can not wait to return again.

United StatesWe didn’t like the same guests “saving” the best beach beds every single day, but that has nothing to do with the hotel and everything to do with entitled people.
The breakfast was fantastic as was the location, right on the beach. The room was bigger than we needed, but we knew that when we booked as it was the only room available. The shower was awesome! We would stay here again and again and again. Absolutely amazing!
