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 StatesIts a great place. The only thing I would suggest is the units to have more lighting at night. It's a little dark in side at night.
The views are amazing. The complementary breakfast is good and filling. Would recommend.

New ZealandThe beach has been washed away. It is no way near comparable to Tulum or even Hopkins. The whole area is very polluted unless it is in front of a resort where the sand is combed daily. Very sad to see so much rubbish
Every thing was beautifully curated yet felt very relaxed. Coppola wines were surprisingly good value

United StatesWe traveled in august and the rooms were beyond hot and muggy. The small air conditioner above the bed (that turn down service starts at night) barely cools you down at night, and we didn’t sleep well for 6 nights straight due to being so uncomfortable, sticky, and hot. Our only complaint, but kind of a big one. Who wants to be miserable at night and unable to sleep on vacation?! Also, the shell phone… kinda sketchy that the front desk staff can listen in at any time to your room without you knowing. Not just when you buzz them. Looks cool and neat idea, but a privacy issue, in my opinion.
Landscaping is gorgeous. Villas are so neat and furnished beautifully. Love how it’s a small resort, so not a lot of walking to restaurants, pools, beach, etc. Very kind staff.

United StatesNothing. It’s perfect.
The Turtle Inn is the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at and I have traveled the world and stayed at some of the very best. From the insanely beautiful property, the above and beyond staff and amenities, to the most beautiful villa I’ve ever had the pleasure to stay in. The G.M. Martin left a handwritten note welcoming us next to a jar of home baked chocolate chip cookies. They bring you a complimentary cocktail to your room. The beds and bedding are luxurious and of the highest quality. The bathrooms and secluded indoor/outdoor showers are so lovely. There are fresh flowers and personal touches everywhere. The dinner we had at Mare restaurant was fresh and crazy delicious. The servers were so friendly and attentive. The swimming pools and beach front are some of the prettiest and most serene swimming I’ve had the pleasure to enjoy. The villas themselves are indescribably beautiful. The Turtle Inn truly is an escape to paradise as you’ve always imagined it could be. It over delivers. The Coppola’s and crew, especially their manager Martin and his kindness have created the perfect retreat from this harsh world. Treat yourself.

United StatesNot much to say here. But Booking.com could show more additional options that will be available. For example, booking optional outings/adventure with the resort are available to further enjoy the stay.
The resort was great and the individual cottages are the perfect size to relax and enjoy the generous higher end space. The outdoor shower is the perfect way to stay cool at night before bed. Service was outstanding. Management knows exactly how to run and maintain a beautifully beach resort.

United StatesThat it’s ruined other ocean-front properties for me.
The staff - their exceptional service, their willingness to go above and beyond, and their genuine kindness easily seen as they try to remember every guest’s name. The property - the cottages and villas are private, comfortable, and accommodating; the garden which is home to the source of their amazing dishes; the pools that are big enough to hold multiple groups and the perfect temperature between hot and cold; and the location, smack dab between the ocean and the lagoon, a mile bike ride away from town.

SwitzerlandThere are a few pain points here, the major one unfortunately is not the hotel’s fault: the location. This hotel is stuck between a very noisy road (do not expect to sleep after 6am, nor to rest at the pool without the sound of traffic) and a beach which waters are far from pristine (be ready for seaweed, jellyfish and stingrays). Then there are a few things that could be improved (yet minor, and did not affect our stay that much): - dogs wandering around at the beach and restaurant barking & asking for food should not be there. - same as Blancaneaux, we would have liked a broader soft drinks menu with freshly mixed fruits and vegetables juices, and better tea and coffee (both very poor). - do not say you are eco friendly when there is A/C and minibar (with aluminium cans inside) in rooms, and that towels are replaced twice a day though they are not on the floor (as the sign recommends to do when you want them changed).
The hotel offers a lot of amenities, 2 pools, 3 very good restaurants, a great spa with amazing massages and plenty of activities around. Staff is very professional and attentive and rooms are huge and well decorated.

United StatesUpon arrival, we experienced a slow and unassisted check-in process, though the complimentary welcome drinks were a nice touch. However, it was disappointing that the hotel didn't offer any recommendations or information about activities during our stay, leaving us to figure out our plans independently. Prior to our visit, we had emailed the hotel to indicate our 24th anniversary celebration, but received no response or suggestions for special packages to enhance our stay. This lack of attention to detail and personalized guest experiences was disappointing. Also the property had only one tiny pool.
Our 3-night stay at Turtle Inn Hotel in Placencia, Belize, left us with mixed feelings. The hotel exudes a small and cozy Indonesian Bali-inspired ambiance, which adds a unique charm to the place. The rooms, while spacious and well-decorated, lack practicality, with only nightstand lights near the beds, resulting in rooms that feel quite dim. Unfortunately, none of the light switches seemed to be functional during our stay. One notable feature was the presence of netted windows that could be opened for airflow and a refreshing breeze. However, this setup, while creating a natural atmosphere, could compromise privacy, making some guests uncomfortable. Our suite room was a letdown due to the absence of air conditioning. Instead, we had to rely on a ceiling fan, which wasn't sufficient in the hot and humid climate of Belize. We were told that rooms with AC units were available, but only in the back of the hotel, not in the waterfront rooms. This lack of climate control and the use of nets instead of traditional windows made our room less comfortable. The hotel's restaurant offered decent food, and we appreciated the occasional chef nights with Balinese cuisine. The location was convenient, with a short drive to the airport and easy access to Placencia Road's restaurants and nightlife. We also enjoyed visiting the nearby Orange Gallery for local crafts and gifts.
