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 room service for food and drink often took longer than we would've hoped. Plan to allow 45 minutes to an hour for food and drink room service.
We loved our stay at Palafitos! The bungalows are so amazing that we spent most of our time on the deck overlooking the water or laying out on our own private deck with steps down to the ocean to cool off. The water is shallow and easy to walk around. We would often walk through the ocean to get to the beach instead of using the boardwalk. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The thing that surprised us the most was the restaurant at Palafitos. I can't emphasize how amazing the food was there! A few nights a week there are planned 5-6 course meals, and the everyday menu is really impressive. It was a fun culinary adventure (but they have plenty of comfort food options, if that's what you're looking for)! We highly recommend this experience and plan to return as soon as we can!

We loved everything about the property. From the moment we arrived, the bellman was welcoming, check-in was smooth and quick. Our room was not quite ready so William, our butler escorted us to the restaurant where we dined on the water. There was a technical difficulty with our room so Alex moved our room to one of the best locations of the bungalows. We were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and birthdays so this was awesome. We were spoiled from beginning to end. William and Alex were the most gracious gentlemen going above and beyond. Our tequila and wine tasting experiences were so much fun and informative with the specialist. The restaurant staff was excellent as was every single meal we had. The beach bartenders and Peruvian restaurant staff were all amazing as well. I can’t say enough good things about our stay and we will definitely be back!

United StatesWe were told 36 hours before our arrival that our price would be double for our overwater bungalow -since it was booked under one person even though we communicated very often with the hotel that it was for a anniversary. After many phone calls w/ booking and hotel for several days-we were able to get the manager who was able to cut the extra thousands of dollars in half ,so that we could check in. The odd thing is is that I formally worked for hotels and was very proactive in contacting the hotel for activities etc. etc. as this was a 10 year wedding anniversary ,but was told that we would have a Butler contact us 3 days prior to arrival and no worries needed. (which never did). Of course when we got to the property all of the activities we wanted to do were fully booked for our duration.. doh! additionally another disappointment is there were activities each day outside of the paid for activities and one was to meet the camels because the rides were all booked and we checked all the way to the end of the beach with the group to meet the camels and they weren’t there the heat… Im not gonna harp on the fact that when we arrived there was lots of alagea and seaweed in the view from the bungalows was murky because that is mother nature. however they did have a valiant effort on the beach of trying to clean it up and our second day in the state was clear enough for us to see some fishes under our bungalow which was really exciting. Paola at check in was what saved us from arriving unhappy. Her passion for the company and upbeat personality are unmatched in right really hope she goes far with kharisma hotels!! and the second day she randomly saw us walking and immediately decided to take us on a tour of the property and we were floored by how much she cared about our individual stay. We mostly dined at the restaurant for the bungalows and in room service. The restaurant was impeccable.. food was delicious and they were very aware of my gluten allergy..
obviously it’s a one-of-a-kind property in Mexico with the overwater bungalow, high end quality rooms and butler service. Very exclusive and safe feeling on property.
