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.).

We stayed here for three nights whilst we explored Lake Atitlan. Our room was cosy and it had some lovely classic furniture. The staff were very helpful and were able to set up all our transport too and from Panajachel as well as some local tours.

United StatesI wish that the hot water lasted slightly longer, but it got the job done.
It was located very centrally in Panajachel, making it very convenient to reach the lakeshore as well as shops and restaurants in the town. I also really liked the decoration in the lobby and the cleanliness throughout.

CanadaNot applicable. The place was perfect.
Absolutely astounding staff! Francisco was so kind and accommodating. I travelled all night and arrived much earlier than the check-in time but the were able to have a room ready for me. Such a comfortable bed and clean room. HOT water and such a great shower! The grounds and surroundings are just exquisite! There are beautiful plants, and even a small pond with fish, an trees growing on the grounds. It is so peaceful and pretty. The verandas on all floors are exceptional. I spent much time outside my room on the veranda sorting out travel details and enjoying the many different birds. It's like a little sanctuary. The breakfast is phenomenal! The fruit cup, just one of the options, is huge and offered many varieties of tropical fruit (biased, I love tropical fruit). This is a first-class hotel yet so humble. It felt like home.

This hotel has the perfect location for exploring Panajachel and taking lanchas to other pueblos around the lake! The staff, especially Francisco, were INCREDIBLY friendly and helpful. They even kept my bags for me for a few days while I stayed in other towns. He also helped arrange my shuttle to the airport and back and communicated very effectively when my flight was severely delayed. Don't hesitate to book!

The hotel is beautiful, clean, and easy to find. The staff is wonderful, even calling me by name. The complementary breakfast is delicious! They provide water to keep bottles filled. They are perfectly located on the main street, Calle Santander, but none of the rooms face the main street. The hotel is just a 4-5 minute walk from the boat launches. I really enjoyed my stay here and you will, too!

United StatesThe place is a bit loud at night, til around 11pm. It also gets loud in the early morning: Stray dogs barking in the middle of the night, birds chirping early in the morning, construction noise from up the street, and cars going by in the morning. Unfortunately, one of the window is netted and you can’t completely close it to keep out noise. Honestly, after the first two nights I got used to it. Didn’t bother me as much because the hotel is just so charming and the staff is wonderful.
The service at the hotel was top notch. Francisco is the kindest. Everyone who works there is hardworking. Also, the place is truly a local and tourist spot. It made for a great immersive stay, as well as supporting a local-owned hotel. It was very clean and everyday the made my bed, cleaned the bathrooms, and gave fresh towels. Felt very taken care of as a solo female traveler.
