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.).

CanadaBest location you could ask for in PDC. Right on 5th Ave but the moment you walk in it’s SO quiet and peaceful. Couple minutes walk down a beautiful street to the beach and lots of good food spots nearby. The hotel itself is gorgeous - the garden and breakfast space feels like a jungle and the rooms are beautiful. A full breakfast of fruit, coffee, toast, omelettes is included and the staff are so lovely. This is my favourite hotel I’ve ever stayed in, SO sad to leave x

BrazilJust and observation, the room does not have a mini fridge, so we could't cool our water bottles. We had some sort of problem and had to take cold showers for a day - but the weather didn't make us suffer!
The location is really good! The hotel is near the beach and also right next to Quinta Avenida! The place is comfy and cozy - having breakfast close to nature is a plus! The room feels like you're staying at a friends' house, it has a familiar feeling to it.

CanadaSome of the furniture was more decorative than functional. Bed was very hard but got used to it after a few nights. Our top floor room had a loud pump on the roof going off every few minutes. Was hard to get a good nights sleep because of that.
Beautiful location and place.

AustriaThe location was beautiful! A true oasis in the middle of busy playa del carmen. La semilla I had a fantastic experience at La Semilla hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere throughout my stay. The spacious and comfortable beds ensured a restful night's sleep. The beautiful courtyard where breakfast was served felt like a tranquil oasis, enhancing the overall sense of well-being. The daily varied breakfast was excellent, adding a delightful touch to each morning. I highly recommend La Semilla for a memorable and comfortable stay.

United StatesThe hotel itself was gorgeous, especially the garden. The location was perfect for us, on a very pretty street a bit out of the way of the main tourist section which was nice most of the time and then they had bikes we could use to get to that area when we didn’t feel like walking

PolandYou'd have to wait for 5minutes for hot water in the shower, not a big issue, just a big waste of water. It might be difficult for some people to carry the luggage on the stairs. The bicycles that they offer are completely useless and dangerous to use, they are falling apart, but probably a 10$ fix would do the job.
Very nicely furnished hotel, you could see that someone is paying attention to details. Best thing was that from the balcony you could see only trees, so it didn't feel like in the city. Breakfast was really delicious and the place to eat it among all the trees was very relaxing. Bed was comfortable. There is a restaurant just next door, so there is some noise, but no loud music and usually ended around midnight. They have parking places right in front of the entrance. It's right in the centre, but on a nice, green alley going straight to the beach (the beach close by is awful, but 10mins walk down the road there is a very nice and wide public beach).

The breakfast was delicious and all the members of staff were so friendly and helpful. Couldn’t have picked a better place to stay in Playa del Carmen. Also it’s really close to the beach (5 min walk) and near the restaurants and bars.

United StatesThe shower head could have had more water pressure or maybe be cleaned from build up, but it really didn't bother us
The location is great, a block off the main street so it is more quiet, but easy to walk to the main restaurants, bars, and fun. I also feel like the bars and restaurants right near this hotel were more authentic and affordable than the main strip. Alejandro was so helpful and made us feel very welcomed and gave e valuable local insights. The included breakfast was also the best food I had my whole trip! 5 stars:)

United StatesTruly the best breakfast we had in Playa del Carmen, prepared by Gabriel every morning. Pleasant decor with good size room. Comfortable bed. Good wifi connection. Alejandro at the front desk recommended a great Argentinian restaurant and overall helped us with every inquiry/question we had. Small, but unique and tranquil breakfast area. And pretty good wine offered to us nightly at the reception.
