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 Statesvery steep stairs to upstairs bedroom. I need hand rails!
The location was good since we could walk most places. Nice furniture and air conditioning, Great hot water shower. the 'pet' iguana in the yard. the host Elena waas one of the best hosts in alll of my travels. she helped us so much: booking taxis, recommending restaurants, booking excursions. She is a very nice person. She checked on us during a big tropical storm and even offered to buy us boots! I liked the midweek house cleaning to get new towels etc.

This house is amazing and I highly recommend it. We spent 1 week at Casa Cacahuete and had a wonderful time. The house is beautiful, well equipped and very clean. Additionally, Elena is going above and beyond to make sure that we have everything we need. She helped us book a private transfer from CUN airport, she knew a cook who came to cook dinner for us one evening, she knows great bakeries and she was very responsive to answer any questions we had. Casa Cacahuete is a very special place and i hope we can go back soon!

NetherlandsDuring autumn the Island gets flooded in some areas and the house is located in one of those areas. At the entrance of the house there is a huge puddle that makes the entrance very difficult to access. It only got worse with the days and it stinked. Its also brought a lot of mosquitos. This is of course not to blame to the property bit it does not happen in other more centric areas of the island.
The house inside is beautiful and the personnel super friendly. They gave us plenty of tips on what to do.

NorwayThat we only spent 4 days in PARADISE!
First of all: Elena is the perfect host. She is very helpfull and we benefited lots of following her tips. ❤️ Second: The house is amazing. And perfect for anyone that want to stay close to the beach and centro, and still be in a quiet area. Its as beautiful as in the pictures. Our family loved the place. Regarding puddles and electricity: the entire island is like walking back 50-100 years. So the infrastructure is not up to date. Meaning that the electricity sometimes is out for a short period of time. And when it rains, there are puddles in the street. And guess what: THIS MAKES ISLA HOLBOX EVEN MORE PERFECT!!! Being there is a dream. A place to de-stress and and re-arrange your priorities. We have been in Mexico several times and travelled around. Isla Holbox is the most perfect place ever. We will for sure come back. And there is NO PLACE we would rather stay then Casa Cacahuate.

MexicoThe property was fine, the neighborhood can get dirty from trash and animals breaking the bags. It rain one day and the streets were flooded, but that’s a general problem of Holbox as an island.
it’s a very comfortable well designed little house. it’s clean, well located, next to downtown Holbox but not where it can get busy and load, and Elena was very responsive to our needs.

Karen met us at the house, it was spotless. She gave us relevant information regarding the house and neighboring facilities. She followed it up with a WhatsApp message giving some restaurant recommendations. There was ample drinking water available and if we needed more, all we had to do is let her know. It would be delivered the next day. We had 6 nights at Casa Cacahuète and would happily return or recommend 100%

United StatesWhen you arrive, don't do what we did and walk in the heat/sun all the way to the house. Better just to get a taxi from the ferry. Elena let us know in advance that the taxi was the best way, but I ignored the advice.
Overall, we loved this home! Wish we could copy the entire layout/design and build one of our own! Elena was there to meet us upon our arrival and gave us a great overview of the home and the island. Forget the beach, and just relax at this place! Our only regret is that we weren't able to stay longer in this house.
