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.).

CanadaIf possible to keep the pool running, especially when there is too much sargassum on the shore and the sea is not enjoyable! We used the pool anyway but it would have been better to feel the water a little more to be able to reach the filter
Casa Kay is a PARADISE! The property was all what we needed: simple, furnished and on the beach! Isolated from the crowd, it gives you the space to reconnect and enjoy the sea!the kitchen has everything to cook a meal, and was perfect since Casa Kay is a little far from groceries or restaurants. Riger was bringing us some coconuts and that was very appreciated! The pool, even if small, was perfect when the sargassum started to be too much.

BelgiumNothing as all facilities were working fine!
The location was exactly has described on Booking. It sits next to the beach and this was wonderful! The beach is cleaned every day and easy for swimming. There are nice transats and you can watch the emerald sea under the shadow. There is an external shower to clean after bad in the small swimming pool. Our habitation was very luminous and comfortable with large sliding doors equipped with mosquito nets so that we didn’t need to use the air conditioning at night. Also a very quiet place. The terrace is great for relaxing under the shadow provided by the coconut trees. We loved this place.

United StatesThe location is a bit remote, but that's exactly what we were looking for!
Location was beachside! It was literally steps to the shoreline. We loved looking out at the beautiful blue ocean waves crashing on the beach right off our balcony. Falling asleep to the sound of the ocean waves was amazing. Our host Ana was very attentive to our needs. She was lightening quick to respond to all of our needs and inquiries.

BrazilThe place doesn’t have signs or an official location o google maps, which makes it harder for transfers/transport to find you. Anna was as helpful as possible, but even sharing instructions with drivers I struggled a bit. Be mindful that Ubers do not get there and you need to buy everything you need because there’s nothing around
Anna is super responsive and ready to help, the apartment is small but equipped in a quiet location. If you want peace and quiet, this is definitely the place for you

NorwayThis is a secluded stretch of the beach and we felt like we had it all to ourselves. Apart from the others renting nearby houses, there was nobody around, which feels a bit surreal now after having been to Tulum. Ana was very lovely and super helpful, making this the perfect place to relax and soak up the caribbean

ItalyThe building overall could use some rework. It's not good-looking compared to others in the area. Sargassum seaweed is each night washed ashore. Nearby properties each morning would clean their beach sides, but, at least during our stay, Casa Kay didn't. The pool is shallow and small. The shower was decent but rather small and water pressure was low.
The apartment is spacious, with a large bed and a large, well-furnished kitchen that comes in very handy, since there aren't nearby places where to eat. Air conditioning is working fine and the large windows all come with mosquito nets. The location is wonderful, right next to the beach, which is accessible only to the people staying at the local residencies, so it's basically private.

United StatesThe location and the beach are amazing! If your wish is to escape the chaos and relish in nature and tranquility, then this is the perfect destination. The hostess is welcoming and friendly. Despite the hotel's apparent age, the apartments are clean and well-equipped for a comfortable stay. The only improvement needed is the provision of a designated area for drying swimsuits and other items. We've observed a common issue with this aspect in Cancun's hotels (Yucatan). Thank you! Our time here has been the most enjoyable during our stay on the Riviera Maya.

United StatesThe air conditioner was located right over the head of the bed. It worked great and didn't make a lot of noise but personally I never like having a cool breeze blowing on me at night. I made a deflector out of cardboard which worked fine.
The location felt very safe (inside a closed gate). I left my computer in the room while away and did not worry at all about someone entering. We enjoyed the quietness of the beach. We pretty much had it to ourselves. Granted maybe we got lucky and other properties were not booked that weekend. Really enjoyed that the TV had access to Netflix. I also want to add that Ana who I believe is the host was very helpful getting me checked in early on the first day and also got extra towels sent up to the room and asked if we needed anything else. Very reassuring having her phone number and also that she could speak English. Lastly I believe the location is super. It's about 25 minutes south of the airport and about 20 minutes north of Playa de Carmen.
