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 KingdomFantastic facilities and seevice. Lovely little touches such as replenished water and beer every day in the fridge, nightly sweet treat, sunset cocktail to name a few of the free additions. Food was great too with the inclusive breakfast in Las Hamacas restaurant having plenty of choice and fantastic quality food.

United StatesThis hotel is an amazing find. It was everything we wanted and more! The room is large and seemed freshly renovated (powerful AC, TV, reliable bathroom). The amenities are great, especially the pool and swim up bar, as well as the restaurant that provided many tasty options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The hotel staff is amazing and helpful. The location is perfect, at the end of a long strip of hotels so you get less traffic and it feels less touristy. Town center is just 15 minutes away. The bioluminescence tour they arranged for us was fun. Would 100% recommend and go back!

United StatesI loved it, all of it, the only thing I can think of that is even mildly unpleasant is the mosquitos that come at dusk and dawn but that is true all over the Quintana Roo, just bring bug spray.
It is a beautiful property on what might be the most idyllic slice of beach on Holbox.

This is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. The beach area is definitely the nicest part of Holbox. The restaurant is also one of the best. The Food was out of this world. The room felt luxurious and incredibly comfortable. We loved the pool as well with the swim up bar. The photos on their website simply don't do this place justice. We will definitely be back.

CanadaWe couldn't stay forever!
WOW! This is quite simply the best hotel we've ever stayed at. We were fortunate enough to get a free upgrade after we let the property know we were celebrating our recent engagement and the room was incredible, enormous space, huge comfortable bed, giant balcony with whirlpool bath, plus welcome gifts and a sweet treat left in our room every night. The beach club is fantastic, never a rush on or lack of sunbeds, the staff are incredibly attentive and go above and beyond in catering to whatever wants or needs you may have. The pool is wonderful and a great place to cool off in the afternoon heat, the swim up bar is fantastic and the cocktails are incredible, and fairly priced relative to the rest of the island. The breakfast menu is extensive and delicious, and we also ate at the restaurant on our final night which was the best meal we had on the island. We also ended up opting to pay for a transfer back to Cancun airport through the hotel, which was a seamless and calm experience compared to sorting taxis/ferry/ADO ourselves. Huge thanks to all the staff for honestly making this the trip of a lifetime for us, we'll certainly be coming back!

United KingdomA few 'niggles' . There is a hotel next door that attracts a different type of client, and they have a 'sky' bar that does on occasion play loud and reverberating dance type music. They stop latest around 9.30PM, and while not everyday, the boom boom music is hard to ignore! It's a bit at odds with the atmosphere the hotel has created. Tipping. I get tipping but It's pretty irritating both being obliged to tip 15% min, even on the inclusive breakfast, but then , on occasion, being chased down, if one forgets to sign off on extra coffee or at the bar etc, which happens, but is especially annoying, as one gets the feeling that it's driven mainly by the desire to get the 15% tip
The hotel is about 1km from the main town, and a lovely walk down the beach or quick taxi ride. The beaches are miles of white soft sand which extend out to sea, so you can paddle while the Pelicans dive for fish around you. Magical. The rooms are lovely and the pool ideal, with a bar. Not crowded as it's a relatively small hotel. The food is generally excellent. The staff, pretty much to a person, were very attentive, helpful and friendly. It's lovely hotel and in a great location and we'd go again, maybe outside the peak season due to cost.
