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 StatesWhat a fabulous stay! We absolutely loved our experience here and after doing a lot of research believe it may be the nicest property on the entire lake. Facilities were beautiful with stunning views from the rooms and infinity pool. Staff were world-class, always smiling, energetic, friendly, and ready to say yes. They truly went above and beyond. Bartender Cristian is the best! Our upgraded room was spectacular and newly remodeled with a beautiful tub overlooking the lake. Breakfast, dinner, and drinks at the pool bar were all excellent. The hotel also arranged for a great couples massage, laundry service, and a private boat tour of the lake. Thanks so much and we will be back!!

United StatesThe walk up the hill to the property was intense! They will arrange for a tuk tuk to take you up and down, but we didn't know that at first haha. Also, they removed the shower door to make it more modern, I suppose, but all that meant was that we flooded the bathroom floor every time we showered, The bathmat wasn't nearly enough to soak all that up.
The staff was incredible! Eli was great when checking us in and helping arrange travel. Darwin greeted us at the bar and not only gave us local tips but also other information when I asked, like about local history, the translation of place names, local politics, traditional Mayan heritage... he was so pleasant to chat with! His brother Christian was also friendly and hooked us up with a local Mayan Guide to perform a fire ceremony on the property for us! It was amazing! The woman serving breakfast was super helpful too, when my friend got sick, she brought food and water up to the room for us. The view was incredible of the 3 volcanoes and the sunset every night. The food and drinks onsite were great too. And they arranged affordable and reliable drivers to get us into nearby villages. I'd go back in a heartbeat!

CanadaThere is a steep hill to get to the hotel but most tuk tuks didn’t seem to mind taking us up the hill. The hotel staff was kind enough to organize transport for us which was quite reasonably priced.
The scenery / views over Lake Atitlan were breathtaking. Getting there was made possible thanks to Eros, one of the hotel staff, who went out of his way to organize transport to the hotel from downtown Panajachel for us. The breakfast food and portions were quite generous. We loved the views from our balcony and the many pic opportunities at the pool. We loved our stay as everyone treated us kindly and attended to our needs immediately. We highly recommend this hotel.

United StatesBe careful on the road, the streets are terrible. They are currently working to get them fixed. The Hotel is on a hill and it your heavy, you will not make it up the hill. You need a tuck tuck that will drive you to the top.
The customer service was amazing, and views are breathtaking in the morning. The manager cares about your stay and they service is A1. I really enjoyed myself and I will be back sooner than later...;-)

But the best thing out of all is the view. It' s simply amazing. I really enjoyed the breakfast which was delicious and served on the outdoor terrace with a fantastic view over the lake and the volcanoes. The staff is very friendly and accommodating.

United StatesProviding/ recommending transportation option from the airport to the resort, as it is not the most accessible location. Letting guest know that it is located on a hill and not all taxi drivers are willing to go up the hill. We had to walk up the hill with our luggage to check in.
Excellent service! Darwin, Christian, and the entire staff were exceptional. Resourceful, welcoming, friendly which made our stay so much better. The resort is beautiful, clean, and love the aesthetics. Love how much privacy we had. I would highly recommend this resort and will definitely stay there when we return to Guatemala.
