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 KingdomThe breakfast was quite small The road to the property was bumpy and unpaved, although that is to be expected as it is quite off grid
Beautiful very well designed garden making you feel you are alone in a jungle paradise, very nice early in the morning with the sun coming off the trees and sounds of birds. Very nice touches with good lighting and seating area about the property and swing seat in the room. Very welcoming host and helpful with the travel cot for baby. Staff seemed friendly. The pool was so nice and relaxing It is possible to have dinner at the property for an extra cost, and the dinner was very tasty, unfortunately the host wasn't available for our whole stay but recommended areas to eat in the evening.

GermanyNothing at all!
We enjoyed our 2-night stay with our two children a lot. Rooms are very comfortable and the whole place is absolutey beautiful surrounded by the jungle. Our highlight was definitely the hospitality of Amaya. She was even preparing a small breakfast because we needed to leave erlier this day to go to a Theme park nearby. Amaya is really taking care about her guests which we finally also saw when we asked to check the air Conditioning. On the next day the AC was already professionally checked by a technician. We can highly recommend this place which was actually a little oasis within the jungle for us !

United StatesAn oasis in the tamed jungle, secluded and safe, but authentically rustic, with a beautiful pool surrounded by trees and plants in bloom. Amaya, the French owner, is delighful. She accomodated us for dinner on a short notice the day we arrived, gave us great advice on where to go and snorkle and eat. Our “hut” had palapa roof, was very spacious, and an enclosed porch with a hamock, the bed was king size and comfortable, there was a kitchenette and a fridge, ceiling fans and A/C which we didn’t need to use. All windows have mosquito nets, so we slept undistrubed by the buzzing ! It was quiet and pleasant, the only regret is we didn’t stay longer ! We rented a car, and the access road was full of big holes, so drive carefully ! But parking was safe and inside the gates. The place had a good vibe, and we had lovely conversations and exchange of information with other guests. The price was reasonable and I highly recommend staying at Maya Eco village, looking forward to returning !

United StatesNothing. The road in is a little rough, but well worth the effort!
Maya Eco Village is located just a short distance from the highway, but it feels like a different world: an oasis of quiet and peace. Amaya, our host, from the moment we passed through the gates made us feel welcome and comfortable, which she describes as the real reason she does what she does: making her guests feel at home and able to enjoy the tranquility that Maya Eco Village offers. An inviting pool is surrounded by six clean and comfortable bungalows, ours at the end of the pool surrounded by flowering bougainvilleas. Amaya and her staff were always there to assist and Amaya took special care to ensure that our stay in the Akumal area was as complete and enjoyable as possible, from assisting our early departure one morning for the Coba ruins to providing us with cenote recommendations the next. Breakfasts were delicious, but perhaps one of the highpoints were the splendid dinners Amaya offered every evening for a modest price, a home cooked blend of Mexican, Mayan and French elements. These were events not to be missed! We truly hope to be able to get back here again to spend more time with Amaya and share in her friendship and caring.

NetherlandsSet against our entire 3-week Mexico trip it is a bit overpriced (both the accommodation and the drinks at the bar) but for Akumal standards probably ok.
B&B style accommodation located in the jungle, with a lush garden. Cabanas were nice and comfortable and clean. Amaya is very nice and welcoming. Set us up with a guide for turtle snorkeling, which was an amazing trip.

Everything. The owner is a lovely person that will try to accommodate you for the best stay. Dinner at the village is really good! We also loved spending time at the pool after 10 pm to watch the stars. the village is very quiet and that’s our favorite part because we arrived from loudy Cancun and we really were looking for a peaceful place and found it! We had a car so there was no problem getting to the property. The room was very clean.

United StatesThere is nothing I didn’t like about this location.
This property is beautiful! The location is great. It is a short drive off of the main road near Akumal. The grounds are beautiful and you feel like you are sleeping in the middle of a jungle (you are!). The pool is very nice and right in the middle of the property surrounded by the seven individual units. The free breakfast included with the stay is delicious. The owner will also cook you amazing dinners upon request. Once you are here you will not want to leave. Everything in the room worked well for us. We did not even need to use the air conditioning because of the ample amount of windows in the unit and the two ceiling fans. Being three women traveling alone, safety was our number one concern. We felt very safe and taken care of here. The owner could not be more accommodating! From the very beginning, we communicated through WhatsApp and she answered any question that I had. Meeting her in person was even more of a pleasure. she recommended places to go in the area. She is a wonderful host! I cannot recommend this place enough!

United StatesThe location was amazing being in the jungle in a quiet spot. Nice change of pace from Playa del Carmen or Tulum. We enjoyed the pool and meals thoroughly. Amaya (the owner) genuinely cares about her guests and it shows! Akumal the closest town is great to get a bite to eat (at reasonable prices) and the ice cream shop at the end of the road on the right is great. If you like to live a bit more adventurously like our family, you can get there via the Collectivo van system - you don't need a car (unless of course, you have a bunch of luggage, then you definitely need a car). If coming from Tulum, ask the van driver to leave you at the first Sirenis stop. The road is not well traveled so most drivers we talked to were a bit confused on where the actual location is. Once off the van, you cross the highway (oh yes, you will feel like a true local) and then walk on the dirt road to Maya Eco Village (15-20 minutes). I am assuming you will have a similar experience as us, and that is someone stopping and offering to drive you after walking about 10 steps. Enjoy this part of Mexico! You won't regret staying at this location.

Very friendly owner, lots of personal attention, lovely atmosphere. She speaks excellent English. Amaya and her man own this place since a year or so. Wonderful tropical garden with birds and nice pool with sunbeds. Spacious bungalow with comfortable king-size bed, table+chairs, kitchen, fridge and bathroom. Warm water from the shower. Bugs free veranda. Good air-conditioning, which is not every day needed. As soon as you exit the highway you feel like entering the jungle, 5 min drive further, strong gate.
