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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 StatesRoom had no windows facing outside, only towards the hallway. Was not a big deal though, as we didn't stay in the room much, except for sleeping.
This hostel was accommodating to our last-minute booking. It was clean and central to everything in town. The restaurant it was above was very delicious. Very easy to check in and out. Beds were comfortable. Shower worked well. Walkable to everything. 2 minute walk to the beach.

United StatesThe room was barely large enough to walk around the bed, with no room for luggage. The price for the room seemed excessive given how tiny it was, and no breakfast was included.
The staff was ready for us despite a last-minute booking. they graciously spoke English to us, which was very welcome after a particularly long day traveling. The air conditioner worked wonderfully. The bed and pillows were unexpectedly comfortable and good quality. The attached bath was adequate and had hot water. There was dedicated parking for the hotel, which was helpful as parking is at a premium in Montezuma.

United StatesI was pretty disappointed to find that the hot water selector did not work in our shower as I had been looking forward to shaving! The room smelled a bit like swampy stagnant water, though this may have been because of the air conditioning. The room we were assigned was right next to the stairway, and had windows overlooking the stairs in both the room and the bathroom. The windows were up high enough that nobody could easily see into our room for the most part, but we did keep the shades drawn to feel a bit more secure. Unfortunately there were no shades to draw in the bathroom, but as I said, nobody could really look in, it just felt a bit odd to be on the toilet where it felt exposed! Last thing of note- the couple in front of us checking in got their introductory spiel about where to find breakfast and using the hotel accommodation after they checked out etc, but when we got to the front we were told that because we booked through booking.com none of that was included. No breakfast etc. not the end of the world to us, but seemed like the property was scrimping on their booking.com offer.
The property was really cool and funky. We really enjoyed the atmosphere despite and because of the quirks. We booked last minute, so choices were limited, and the prices weren’t the best, but we were overall happy with what we got. We only stayed one night, so we did not get to try the restaurant or any of the other amenities. The air conditioning was very effective and we slept fantastically.

The location of the hotel is absolutely amazing. The supermarkt is literally next door & the beach is just a 1 minute walk. Besides we loved that we could use the pool of the sister hotel ‘Ylang Ylang’, really nice add on for your trip! Staff is also very sweet, highly recommend!

United StatesDo not tell the guests of the hotel that Ylang-Ylang (the sister hotel) is 10 min walk :) Most of the walk is on the beach and part through a forest. There is no lights at night. So, for people who do not know the area, it is not a good idea. During the day, you can drive to the property and then walk on the beach. Ylang-Ylang has a beautiful pool and excellent restaurant!
The breakfast (although not included in our rate) was delicious! The menu included variety of options, the service was great!

United StatesWe stayed for three nights, and had a wonderful time. Great value, delicious breakfast included, lovely staff, cozy vibes. It's right on the strip in Montezuma just steps from beachside restaurants. We took advantage of the partnership with Ylang Ylang's pool every day, which we loved because it was a built-in ten minute walk down the beach. Muchísimas gracias por todo!
