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...).

FranceEverything was really great! The garden is really beautiful, full of hummingbirds. Abel the owner and Elena, his daughter, took really good care of us, gave good recommendations and organized our visit to Yaxchilan and Bonampak, with an excellent dériver and guide. They also organized our transfer to and from the airports.

United States of AmericaI wouldn't recommend it if you're driving a small car... the last 500 m are quite bad. Even if it was not raining, our car got stuck in the mud one day and needed help to tow it. It's probably better if you drive an SUV, AWD, etc.

The accommodation and the family who look after it are a golden find. The houses are in the middle of the jungle, you are immersed in nature and everything in the hotel is designed to be in harmony with the environment - even the food is home-grown and was some of the best we had on our trip. The warmth of the staff also deserves special recognition. We had a few transportation problems and they helped us immediately and with all available resources. The houses are superbly equipped, very, very clean and even with several guests it feels as if you are on your own. You can easily get to the Palenque ruins with the hotel's own transport at any time and be picked up again, it takes about 15 minutes. We had no car during our stay, so you can access the hotel also via Taxi. All in all, a really great stay (10/10) that we would definitely recommend to anyone.

United KingdomNo negatives but bear in mind you are not that close to any shops.
Amazing location surrounded by trees with seclusion from the hustle and bustle of life. A great chance to observe wildlife and lovely welcoming staff that where incredibly helpful. We saw humming birds outside our room, saw howler monkeys and watched the parrots fly over to roost at night.

Beautiful hotel in stunning location in the middle of nature. Nice, modern cabins with private balcony, A/C, and comfortable beds and pillows. Great to go to sleep and wake up with the sounds of nature. We saw an array of birds, big iguanas and heard the howler monkeys. We were lucky to be the only guests there. The staff are amazing, very helpful and kind. Breakfast from the restaurant is very good, we also had lunch there one day which was great.

SwitzerlandWe had a wonderful stay during our travels in Mexico. The perfect location when planning to visit Palenque right in the middle of the jungle. You can hear the monkeys and the staff is extremely friendly. Peaceful and relaxing with the natural pool. The food was extraordinary, we loved the breakfast lunch dinner and desserts. The road to the hotel is a dirt road, we came by taxi which was perfect. Would not recommend waking with luggage.. they have a taxi to the Palenque sight, laundry service which was excellent and can even organize a private driver to San Cristobal de las Casas. Thanks!!

GermanyWi-Fi is not stable or fast enough. They should look into getting a Starlink. The road is a bit of a challenge but doable. Just take it easy ;) I would recommend cleaning some of the trash on the road. I would have loved to have a small desk in the room.
First of all: Palenque did not turn out to be the Pueblo Magico imagined, so we were very glad not to stay in the city. Easy to get to the archeological site without getting into the city. Super friendly reception. The cabin had the AC on, so it was nice and cool inside. Everything was super clean, even the shower head looked like new. The bed was firm and super nice for sleeping. Great attention to detail. The pool was amazing and it was cleaned every day. Having a restaurant on site was also a big plus. While expensive for Mexican prices, the food was good but the servings are small. Breakfast was also good but the servings are small. We like a big breakfast so that we can have a late lunch. Parking on the property, absolutely secure. Overall a great experience and we would come back in a heartbeat.
