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.).

CanadaThis is a low-key and laid-back spot a 5 minute boat ride from Flores. As stated, you send them a WhatsApp message and they'll zip across the lake and pick you up. The rooms are simple, no-frills and clean. You can sit and look across the lake at Flores, you can swim, you can go walk up the trail behind the hotel to the mirador and maybe see some monkeys. It's quiet and slow paced. Slowed me right down. The restaurant does the trick. I'd stay here again for sure.

GermanyWe liked our stay at Mayan spirit ! The place is located very peacefully in the middle of the jungle, but only a 5 min boat ride away from flores. We even saw (and heard) howler monkeys in the trees directly next to our cabin ! The boat was always available when we needed it. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean and the shower was hot. Internet was surprisingly fast! It would have been nice to have some extra furniture in the room, like a small table and chairs, but overall everything was fine!

FranceWe were not given the boat rates outside of free hours, it was quite expensive. I wish tgis was communicated ahead. 100Q at 10pm. The room was very hot during the day due to the sun shining on the large windows.
Beautiful location away from the chaos if the party. The 4 included boat drives make it very easy to go and come back.

United StatesThe Mayan Spirit took care of every aspect of our trip. They booked all our tours and our airport shuttle, they took care of our laundry, made delicous breakfast, and were so accommodating when we wanted to upgrade to the boat room. (Sidenote: book the boat room! It's the coolest thing!) Highly, highly, recommended!!

United KingdomThe location is amazing, but the room didn't look anything like the one we reserved on booking.com. The furniture had been taken out and it only contained a bed and a fan. I complained and a table and chair were found, but it had none of the charm of the photos on booking.com with colourful bedspreads etc. The wifi was sporadic at best. The extra charge to pay by credit card changed by the day culminating in 10%, where other smaller venues in Flores didn't charge anything!!
The location is amazing, but you're paying for this rather than any hotel facilities. Kevin was great at taking us to and from Flores, which was really useful. Food was good if a little pricey by Guat standards.

South AfricaThe sound from Flores does travel across the water. Weekends can be quite noisy. Getting a boat back after 10pm can be a bit pricey if you want to stay out.
Enjoyed being outside of Flores. They offer 2x free return trips every day up to 10pm for when you want to visit Flores and you can just WhatsApp to order the boat. Super chilled in the jungle, with lots of nature stuff to do. Staff were amazing and food was good! Room clean and bed comfy. You can cruelly swim in the water here.

United StatesThey don’t have a garrafón available to fill your water bottle although they did offer to fill ours.
Great location with a nice deck under the mango trees. There’s a mirador and walking trails outback where we saw a family of monkeys. The Lancha is free from 7am-9pm. If you’re staying in Flores for more than a day it’s better to stay next to the jungle. Unless you want to sunrise tour Tikal or want to party on the island.

United StatesWe enjoyed everything! If I had to be picky, It was stressful finding the correct boat ramp where to be picked up. But they were very responsive on WhatsApp and responded promptly and it was easy for the pick up and drop offs after knowing where to meet them.
It’s right across the lake, so a short boat trip to Flores proper but away from all the noise and party life. Perfect for us! The views were amazing and grounds were beautiful. We were there for a short visit, so unable to explore the mirador and the adjacent private beach

GermanyBe aware the outside area is the highlight and the rooms are simple and offer few features except A/C. If you are looking for something luxurious where you wanna spend a lot of time in your room, you should consider another place (and need to invest a few dolares more!). Breakfast serving took a while.
Great view, nice garden for hanging out with plenty of space (e.g. for yoga on the pier). For us actually an advantage to be on the other side of the lake due to the view and the tranquility. Mayan spirit offers 4 free boat transfers per day from/to the pier near Raices Restaurant at the SW corner of Flores. Trips take approx 3 mins and are arranged via Whatsapp (ready to go within 5 minutes or so). We felt the value was excellent and liked the mango smoothies prepared from the fruits growing in the garden.
