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.).

Amazing staff, they were so kind and fun to talk to. The location was great, and there are parking options around. The place has a lot to offer, food, drinks, pool and a roof to relax. We will definitely be back once we are in Bacalar again :)

IsraelI wish I stayed longer.
Having been travelling for nearly a year all over the world, I rarely give a 10 rating, if ever, but Casa Chukum was one of the best accommodation I have ever been to. Immediately, you are warmly welcomed by the amazing staff of the hotel. The hotel itself is unique, with an amazing garden and pool, and the rooms are tailored perfectly to your needs. Location is great.

United KingdomOur stay at Casa Chukum really was a home away from home. This was a last minute booking but after looking at all the amazing reviews we were so glad we chose to stay here. The family have created a beautiful unique hotel full of charm. It’s 5-10 mins walk from the centre and the lagoon, an amazing rooftop and garden / pool area to chill out in the shade or sunbathe. Coffee, tea and cold water was available 24/7 and the hotel was clean and fresh. The communal area is so well thought out with art work, games and some extremely lovely doggies to welcome you back each day. Thank you for having us. We can’t wait to visit Bacalar again and stay again.

The perfect place to get around in Bacalar! The people that run the hotel really understand what hospitality means and showcase it in everything they do. The approach is very personal and everyone is always in for a nice chat about Bacalar, Mexico, or any other topics. The rooms are nice and tidy and the garden offers you a nice opportunity to relax. Restaurants and the lake are within 5 minute walking distance. We couldn’t have wished for a better stay!

CanadaSome tv channels would be nice, as I was unable to mirror my phone or laptop to the tv.
The staff at Casa Chukum are absolutely amazing! I cannot even begin to describe how amazing they are. Gina and Xiu are absolutely amazing and made my stay at Casa Chukum, truly memorable. In Bacalar, taxis are not that easy to get to return to Bacalar and the day that I went to el cenote azul, it was difficult getting a taxi back to the hotel. Thankfully, using the wifi at the restaurant, I was able to WhatsApp the hotel to ask them if they could send a taxi to pick me up and they were able to make all the arrangements for me and was later sent a message with the number of the taxi and how far away it was to picking me up. I highway recommend staying at Casa Chukum, as it’s maybe a 3 block walk from the centre, but still close to other restaurants like Mr. Taco. It’s in a nice quiet spot that gives you a better nights rest. Heads up, there are no tv channels on the tv, but are capable of accepting Netflix.

United StatesThe property could use some onsite parking, however many places dont have this but it is pretty easy to find parking right in front on the street during the week. Not sure about the weekend
The property has a good balance of a modern boutique, jungle and a cozy home-ish feel. It is located in the best part of town. 1 block from the marina, close to many good restaurants and bars, only blocks away. The fort is only 3 blocks away, stores and laundry near by. We felt very safe walking around even a 2am.

United KingdomOverall, we liked our stay and would stay again. the breakfast could have been more based on “organic” products and juices available without sugar . Rooms a bit anonymous (public space far more interesting) and on the small size.
Fantastic garden and roof gardens! Very helpful and kind staff, welcoming hotelier family. Nice swimming pool. Free water and nescafe+tea

Absolutely perfect stay at Casa Chukum! Room was extremely nice and comfortable, lovely pool area as well as a rooftop for sunbathing. Great value breakfast (as an additional cost) which we enjoyed everyday. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful in advising us how to spend our time in Bacalar.

FranceNothing comes to mind - it is awesome value for money
An absolute pleasure to stay with Deborah and her family at Casa Chukum. It really feels like a Casa (home) with so much attention to detail. Boardgames and treats for the kids a welcome drink, lots of advice. All in a beautiful garden setting, conveniently located a 5 minute walk to the town center and many nice restaurants and bars around. The perfect place for a Bacalar adventure. We travelled as a family and our daughter love the lounge area, the garden and pool and above all Luna and Bimba
