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.).

IndiaThe weather was really hot, so there was a bit of mosquitoes as we are in nature, if you travel this part of Mexico in this weather repellent and sunscreens are important
Beautiful property in the middle of an authentic mayan town . Lots of nature tropical plants, flowers, and a huge swimming pool, which is a heart of this place. Rooms are big, and our bathrooms were like indoors out door vibe with a stone wall . This place has everything you can buy your drinks around the corner and rooms have a mini fridge and . The decorations are elegant yet practical . We did the reservation last moment and were hesitant as it was away from Bacalar centro, but it's close to the laguna de bacalar just 5 mins walk from casa cactus. This part if lagoon its not touristy, so it feels private relaxing . You can see stars at night . We ended up extending our stay as it was the best stay in 1 month of the trip Mexico. The bed was huge and comfortable . Staff were kind of knowledgeable . Visit the ruin nearby . Breakfast was as per order, which was personal and delicious. We will be back. You come here to relax, walk around and sleep good

PanamaKeep in mind that there can be mosquitos in this area.
The place is beautiful and so quiet, so a great place to relax. The owner responded quickly to my messages. We slept really well in the king-size bed, enjoyed the pool, and made a fire for the bbq.

We stayed at Casa Cactus Buenavista for only 3 days and we really regretted that we couldn't stay longer. Jey is a charming host who made us happy at every step during our stay. We didn't have to worry about anything - every day Jey prepared a detailed plan of what we should visit, where to eat a good dinner and gave us lots of other practical advice. Casa Cactus Buenavista is a fantastic place to relax: silence, beautiful garden, very nice swimming pool. Every day Jey was preparing a delicious breakfast served outdoors. Since Jey speaks English fluently, I got a chance to have free conversations, which was very rare in other places in Yucatan. Without a doubt, the stay at Casa Cactus Buenavista was the best time during the entire 3-week stay in Yucatan.

FranceEverything! The rooms and the way the pool and breakfast/ dinner area is arranged is very well organized The dinner we had was excellent, the room very quiet and peaceful surrounded by nature! We had overall a wonderful experience You should definitely have a car, it’s possible without because Jey & Sebastien are extremely accommodating and you can arrange taxis but much easier with a car

PolandWe were on a family trip by car to see various archeological sites at Yucatan with quite tight schedule but when we stayed at Casa Cactus - we decided to change plans and to have a "day off". It is a wonderful location with extraordinary hosts. They are experienced travellers with amazing stories - they know everything about accommodating guests with everything they may need. Communication was excellent and quick, which helped us a lot since we had an unexpected long drive. The cabañas and rooms are clean and spacious, everything is so easy to use, working well and beautifully designed - supporting local artists. It’s relaxing and full of plants. The hosts made us feel like home and so safe. The place is in the heart of real Mexico in a very strategic location - 10 min drive to Chachcoben and around 20-25 to Bacalar city. The lagoon is not long walk away and there is a great restaurant by the water too. They are so aware of their community and nature - everything is natural and supportive of surroundings. Every detail of the place tells a story and is designed to give space and comfort. We were offered to experience breakfast cooked by one of the neighbours for a small fee - Mari is a great cook and everything was handmade. It’s a very friendly atmosphere with a lot of intimacy and peace. Practical advice - there are 2 types of rooms available. One in a building. And second - bungalows. Equally comfortable. There is nice garden area with pool and dining area (open kitchen, grill, etc...)

This is an extraordinary place. Thought out and executed with an exception vision for peaceful tranquillity. The private bungalows are so beautiful, designed with efficiency in mind, and giving every bit of comfort one could desire. The heart of the property is an inner courtyard with a pool and the Lash garden around it. It’s a piece of heaven, filled with loving care by a remarkable couple who owns and operates it. From the moment we finalize our booking, so helpful communication leading up to our stay, warmest welcome and the fantastic , vegan breakfast, we felt pampered and cared for. It is a hidden gem, and we feel so very fortunate to have an opportunity to spend some time here.
