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.).

CanadaThe most beautiful view from the balcony! We were in an immense corner room with windows all around as well. The family are so lovely. And as this is located at the end of the road in Panajachel, it's super quiet and there are no neighbouring buildings to the right.

United StatesLoved everything. There was nothing wrong with my stay here it was worth every penny.
The staff and facilities here were great. I loved the location and the fact that it's a family owned/operated spot. Of the 3 places I stayed at in Guatamala this was my favorite and I would absolutely book a stay here again. Additionally they supported me in getting a shuttle out of Pana for the airport the day I left and without them setting me up with the right logistics I would've missed my flight. I looked into booking through a nearby hostel and not only was it far more expensive but in reading reviews their shuttles take 2-3 hours longer with the stops they take.

The two levels of terraces with sitting areas. Beautiful potted plants and interesting cacti. Great location to waterfront, restaurants and shopping. The bed was cofy and plenty of extra blankets for the chilly night. Super friendly staff.

United KingdomGreat location, good value and nice rooms. We has everything we needed and were close to lots of lovely restaurants. I would highly recommend staying here and in Panajachel in general. It's a nicer location than the blogs suggest and really it the easiest was to visit all of the other areas around the lake.

United StatesCons - The bathroom was very small & moldy, with poor drainage in both the sink and the shower. When you take a shower, you will quickly be standing ankle-deep in dirty water. Hot shower water was available only in the evenings. They only take cash, no cards. I read this in the reviews ahead of time, and so came prepared. Due to a delay in my shuttle from Antigua, I arrived well after sunset. It would have been unpleasant to have to go wander in the dark through a town I don't know to find & make an ATM withdrawal.
Pros - The very best part of this hotel is the lovely terrace with a beautiful view of Lake Atitlán! The staff were friendly and helpful. WiFi was quite good, even on the terrace. Free access to drinking water was another big plus. It is located near the lake, 2 blocks from the dock for private ferries. The bed was comfortable, but the pillows were strangely lumpy. I originally booked 4 nights, Monday-Friday. When I asked to stay Friday night as well, they were able to accommodate me in the same room for the same price per night (252 quetzales).

MexicoRoom and bathroom were very compact, I think it might not have been the best hotel if we were staying for several nights. The hotel is set back from the road and there are no signs on the road or instructions provided making it very hard to find (not what you want when carrying heavy backpacks!).
A nice hotel with a lovely roof terrace. Filtered water provided. Clean room and bathroom. Friendly staff.
