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 StatesLarge windows had only a thin curtain and lighting outside on the walkway was quite bright making it difficult to sleep at night.
Beautiful grounds with gardens and wall murals everywhere. Rooms were very clean, very good breakfast and very nice staff. Large ceiling fan above bed kept room comfortable.

HondurasThe room could have been a bit darker at night. We prefer a very dark room without light.
We had a wonderful stay. The breakfast was super delicious, a highlight for us. There also is a very nice garden area and many common areas to sit with a nice view of the garden or on the roof. The hosts and all workers were very kind. We also liked the ease of having a key to the outside gate so you can go and come whenever you want while still being super safe. Parking was very convenient and safe.

Wow wow!! Best place to stay! Location is ideal as it’s right next to the Main Street but in a more quiet off street. Breakfast is 10/10!!! Staff was amazing and the courtyard was beautiful. They even had a place for us to go park our car securely.

United StatesIt was such a beautiful oasis! Stayed in a triple room with 4 people. The staff were awesome and kind. The breakfast was delicious and included for us. The view from the roof was awesome. The orange kitty there cuddled me forever and sadly my friends wouldn’t let me take it into the room lol. Very safe, and gated. Good location. Would highly recommend and stay again!

JamaicaThe hotel is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Pana but within a short walking distance from everything. The property is well-kept and feels like an oasis in a rather hectic town. I found the staff to be extremely kind and helpful. Despite the language barrier, I was able to communicate with them and get information and direction to various places. To top everything off, a delicious breakfast is provided in the mornings.

United StatesIt gets a bit loud in the area during the day/early night, but it dies down pretty quickly. We had no issues sleeping. I really don't have anything bad to say about this hotel. There's no A/C but we didn't need it all; it was 70-80 degrees the entire time we were there.
We really loved this place. It's in a completely enclosed area, very safe, surrounded by gardens and water features. It's a 30 second walk to the main road, with all the restaurants and bars, and a 10 minute walk to Lake Atitlan. The staff was wonderful and the breakfast was really great. WiFi was good, beds were comfortable, showers had hot water. I would love to stay here again and I would recommend to anybody traveling to the area.

United KingdomBooming music and bombas going off all night nearby, but it was Holy Week and I brought industrial-level earplugs so I barely heard any of it ;)
Loved it here. Our stay in Panajachel was all about having a rest and the hotel more than delivered. It has a lovely garden area, the common area is really well presented, it's nice and clean, the room was lovely and large and the beds were comfy. Shower was lovely and warm and the breakfast was good too with three or four options. It's about a 15-minute walk through endless restaurants and sellers (if you're looking for Guatemalan national soccer shirt, this is where to get them!) to the lake which provided stunning views of the surrounding volcanoes.

CanadaHotel itself was amazing, however being so close to town you could hear the bass beat of the clubs well into the morning. We figured out if we out the fan on for white noise it helped a lot.
Large room, comfortable beds, nice hot shower with good water pressure. Beautiful gardens, various places to sit outdoors and enjoy the hillside views. From the breakfast table we saw 15 bird species! Loved the covered outdoor living room. We were able to park close to our room. Very helpful and friendly staff, they helped us arrange a bird watching tour and we saw quetzals! I’ve never seen such thorough housekeeping, every day the beds were moved to sweep and wash under them. Good base camp to explore other towns. Outstanding, would stay again!

United StatesI did see some small baby roaches in the bathroom. Also the hotel is next to a few major bars so I could hear music until about 3/4 in the morning.
Great location, great room with a roof terrace. I stayed here one night as my previous hotel had no vacancy. I wish I would’ve stayed here. So clean. Comfortable bed. Good WiFi. Good shower, very modern spacious rooms.
