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 StatesThe property is far from any restaurants, bars, and shops, so unless you have your own food then this could be challenging.
The property itself was nice. If you plan to stay inside the entire time then this is a good option that is close to the airport.

CanadaNeed a taxi to get anywhere (US$30 to the airport, US$20 to downtown Belize City) or rent a car. Water pressure was low. French door hinges need repair. Construction debris on property.
10 min drive from/ to the airport, safe and secluded on dead-end street. Nice water views from the balcony. Decent breakfast available and cold drinks in the bar fridge for a fair price. Good wifi and communication with host.

CanadaIf you don't have a car there is nothing in walking distance so be prepared to take cabs to get dinner. Guindi was quite willing to help us with delivery of a meal. Not so much a problem, as just be aware in advance
Guindi the owner was very helpful and we were able to check in early. She was very helpful arranging cabs and general assistance, including arranging meal delivery if desired. Breakfast was good. Location is close to the Airport for those with early flights.

United StatesMaybe security codes on the apartment doors or some sort of return system for the keys. Wish there were bath mats in the bathroom to prevent falls.
Location and security was nice. Plumbing and the wifi was really good. I was able to work from there. Working AC which is a huge plus. The garden outside was very pretty. Had a great time here and the staff was very available for questions.

United StatesWe arrived and it was NOT what the pictures looked like. We got to our room and the door felt very unsafe. One could easily open the door with 90 lbs of force to the entry. Upon arriving the A/C wasn't working, the room seemed like it hasn't been occupied in months, same with the bathroom that seemed cold and not maintained over time. There is a door in the room that leads to a storage space that the other residents use to store things(through a seperate door), so you have to barricade that door in your room that leads to the common storage space. The balcony in the picture is actually not a balcony but a common space/walkway. The ocean view is very misleading since the ocean is far (all angle on the ocean view), water did NOT look clear or even blue and not to mention there is construction in-between so you can't even walk to the water if you wanted. Getting to the location was $30 from the airport and that price seemed to be the standard price to get back into town. So you will either blow $60 each day because of how far it is to the main area or you can walk along the highway -like we did- to the nearest car rental place to rent a car to look for another place to stay. You need to roll your 6-8 digit code on the lock mechanism on the building's main door to get into AND out of the building. We never even checked into the place or even sat down on the bed to test it, my girl didn't feel safe here at all and that would obviously not go well when trying to sleep in this house NOT hotel. It is a house with rooms where other families live. I thought I was going to wow my girlfriend but in the end we had to walk along the highway to rent a car and spend hours looking for a new hotel last minute. WhenI mentioned it to the host she said it was non-refundable -even though I didn't even check in.
The weather that day was nice.

United StatesOverall the place just isn’t very nice. It took running the shower over 10min to get hot water, there were exposed wires on the floor of the bathroom, numerous light switches don’t work, there were no blankets just a top sheet, and the room itself had no lock or security so anyone in the building could access it while you were away. Additionally, many of the pictures on Booking are not accurate. They show a breakfast that I’m assuming is from somewhere else in the city, not the hotel, and the hotel looks completely different.
It has a beautiful view. Someone of the aesthetics are nice. The host offered us late check out which we did not need, but it was a kind offer.

Also booking was showing $74 for one night but then they charge just $45 for cleaning and $7 for tax which tax is fin, but booking.com dose not tell you that when you book.
Nice view.

United StatesToo hard to find and too isolated. I was worried of taxi expenses and that they would not find me.
The location was not good. Too far from restaurants and too hard for taxis to find. I chose not to stay there cause it was to isolated. I had the additional cost of taxi trips to and from the restaurants. Not a good place to stay . I could not cancel so I got a hotel room close to resuarants.
