How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe Blue Zen is amazing. The facilities were incredible. The penthouse room reached far above our expectations. Everyone that we met were super nice. The resort was kind of desolate b/c we there during non-peak tourist season. The pools were great to swim in.
Unfortunately we had to pivot when we wanted to swim in the ocean. The sargassum algae was a major problem here, as well as any other resort along the west coast. They didn't have enough labor or machinery to keep up, which is sad and killing the fish. The smell was horrible. Nothing the Blue Zen could do about it but it was a major deterrent from us returning to Caye Caulker if we decided to come back. If so we would stay on the East side of the island.
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful feedback about your recent stay at Blu Zen. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our facilities, pools, and penthouse accommodations, and that our team’s hospitality made a positive impression during your visit. We are also deeply grateful for your understanding regarding the challenge of the sargassum. As you kindly noted, it is a natural occurrence that affects many coastal destinations, and while it is beyond our control, our team is actively seeking and implementing new ways to better manage and mitigate its daily influx. Your comments are invaluable to us, and we truly hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Blu Zen in the future.

Verified reviewBeautiful location! Everything was always clean, no trash in sight. The staff were top notch. My family felt like royalty because everyone was so friendly and remembered your name. They really looked after us and made us all feel special.
The restaurant (Lotus) is small but still amazing food and I really can’t say enough great things about the staff. I’m sure they’ll expand as the location and the area of Caye Caulker develops.
Thank you so much for your wonderful and kind words about your experience with us. We are delighted to know that you and your family felt so well cared for and that our team helped make your stay truly special.

Verified reviewBeautiful resort
They were very stingy with their coffee pods, you were supposed to get 4 a day. But you always had to ask for them. I would recommend bringing your own pods. They sell them in the store for $5 a piece, which is very pricey

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you experienced with the coffee pods. Kindly note that our pods are replenished daily during housekeeping services. Should guest require additional pods outside of the housekeeping schedule, our team is always happy to assist and deliver them the rooms. We value your comments as they help us improve our services, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another relaxing stay.

Verified reviewGorgeous Spot! On the North side of the island. Very quiet. The property is owned by people who don’t live there full-time, so the space is much quieter than other resorts. Nobody fights over pool loungers, which are mostly empty. The hotel has a private boat that runs to and from the village every hour or so. The hours are posted and operate with military precision so it is easy to plan your day. You can also use free bikes or hire a golf cart for USD 35 for two hours. You can cross the split with both the carts and bicycles. If you are heading to “Bliss Beach” near the Blue Zen note that as of writing this, it opens at 11am.
The only downside is the overwhelming smell of seagrass. It can also get a bit windy. There is no good snorkeling right off the beach. The water is opaque.
Thank you for sharing such a detailed review! It sounds like you had a peaceful and enjoyable time at Blu Zen. I’m happy to hear you appreciated the quiet atmosphere, friendly staff, and the easy access to the village with our private boat. We’re also glad that you made use of the bikes and golf carts. Your mention of the seagrass and wind is helpful feedback for potential guests to consider as they plan their stay. Thanks again for recommending Blu Zen wholeheartedly! We hope to welcome you back soon for another tranquil retreat. If you need any further assistance, feel free to reach out.

Verified reviewStaff is exceptional took care of all our needs. Overall facilities are good. Quiet place. Grounds are in good condition. Pool was very clean and well maintained.
We had typical tropical rains and the unit leaked in 3 locations. One leaked caused one of the air conditioners to fail. Bar chairs in kitchen need replacing. Bicycles need maintenance. Need more chairs at the pool. The penthouse rooftop deck has no furniture or shade structure so it is not worth the extra cost.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are delighted to hear that our staff took great care of your needs and that you found the grounds and pool well-maintained. We also appreciate your constructive comments regarding areas that need attention. We are currently reviewing the maintenance of the air conditioners, bicycles, and pool area to ensure these items are addressed promptly. Additionally, we will take your feedback on the penthouse rooftop deck into consideration for future improvements. Your input is invaluable in helping us enhance the guest experience, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future.

Verified reviewThe rooms were beautiful, and the staff was friendly and helpful. They have multiple pools that can be used.
I didn't like that there was little to no option for the countries native food. There should be more native food than non native. Also, I didn't care much for the stairs to get to the room. I would definitely stay again but would request a second floor or first floor.

Verified reviewEverything was comfortable, beautiful and well taken care of.
As previously stated everything went welI when there were little hiccups it was easily taken care of. My concern is that after I got out of the small Sauna pool in the last third area I obtained a Fungus within the groin area that I'm getting treatment for. The 1st and 2nd pools were treated regularly but we didn't see a lot of usage nor treatment for the 3rd one.
Thank you for your feedback and for choosing Blu Zen for your recent stay. We're pleased to hear that you found everything comfortable, beautiful, and well-maintained, and that any minor issues were promptly addressed.

Our maintenance team regularly treats all of our pools, including the third one, to ensure they meet the highest standards of cleanliness. That said, we take your feedback very seriously and will be conducting a thorough review of our procedures to ensure that all pools are consistently treated and maintained. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we hope you have a swift and complete recovery. If there's anything we can do to assist further, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Location really sucks. You have to ride a boat to go anywhere. The boat is not every hour, if you miss a 11:30am departure you are stuck in the island until 2:30pm. I constantly felt like I had to check the clock :/
