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 StatesThe restaurants. Food. Quality and service had much to be desired. The food was a little over priced and lead much to be desired from our children as well as ourselves. If the property can work on this and it’s time to serve. It would be a 4.9 Right now I would say a solid 4.5

AustraliaThe Fairmont has a number of pools to cater to your liking, however the main pool by the beach had a limited number of beds which had all been reserved with towels early on in the day. As a result, it was impossible to enjoy this pool at all during our stay, In addition, there are so many kids at this resort, so if you are looking for a peaceful holiday you may want to try another hotel.
The Faimont Mayakoba is a stunning hotel with every thing you could think of at a resort hotel! It has an amazing rooftop cocktail bar called Cielo that is perfect for pre-dinner Sunset drinks or a night cap by the open fire pits. The resort is incredibly big but we used the numerous bikes provided to travel around with ease. Also, the beauty of Mayakoba is that you can visit all 4 resorts and dine at each one. Very keen to come back and stay at one of the other resorts next time!

United StatesWe did not sign-up for the all inclusive package because we are not big eaters, but the cost of food and drink was incredibly expensive. It was not made clear at check-in whether our included breakfast also included gratuity (which I think it did?), and we were always asked for additional tip each morning. The spa was very nice but again extremely expensive. It was also a bit difficult to get preferred times for dinner reservations each night, unless you booked several days in advance. We also wish there were more bikes available around the property. This was the easiest way to get to around the property and to the beach (which was a 20 min walk from our room), but bikes were often in short supply. With all this said, we would definitely go back to the Fairmont Mayakoba.
This was our first time in the Mayakoba area and our stay at the Fairmont was wonderful. It was a great mix of relaxation and fun activities, and a perfect safe, beautiful and special experience for my college daughter and me to enjoy a week together. The included buffet breakfast was very good and we had a wonderful experience at the Korean bbq restaurant and enjoyed drinks at the Cielo rooftop bar. We also enjoyed going to the other hotels for new dinner options. We recommend signing up for the complementary lagoon boat tour early in your trip to see the entire property and wildlife. We enjoyed our snorkeling outing that left from the beach. Overall we had a great mother/daughter week.

United StatesSeemed understaffed at times on the pool and beach.. Room didn’t get CLEANED (only one day) until I asked. Food quality and flavor was excellent but so so incredibly over-priced. They should be ashamed to charge that much for what you get. A glass of milk for my son was $10! Milk! Vegetarian options were slim.
Property was spectacular. Food quality was amazing

United StatesThis is a very expensive resort. Even beyond the room rates, the meals were very expensive in relation to the quality of the food (which was very good relative to what's available in Playa Del Carmen), and almost all the activities cost money too. The one really bad meal I had was at their steak house--I have never had a bad steak at steak house but this one...inedible. The other thing I didn't care aesthetically was the double barrier they created around their sea swim area- it's really the only blight on an otherwise beautiful view.
Grounds were very pleasant. Staff was fabulous-- truly first rate-- in all aspects. Given the size of the place and the number of staff that we dealt with, we didn't have a single negative experience.

United KingdomThere should have been more extensive menus at the restaurants. Also it was difficult to book a table at some of the restaurants - this was a problem for us as we were only staying for 3 nights. In addition we were unable to book any of the complementary activities eg boat trips - we were told that there was no availability during the 3 days of our stay. I would think the Fairmont should have increased capacity of these activities if there was such demand from guests
Very nice room. Hotel facilities also very good
