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.).

It's a little distance from the city nightlife. Renting a car is a must for the city.

Verified reviewOwner \ Manager, Sharine and her partner Bruce were very helpful, came to pick us up at the airport and came and picked us up late at night after exploring the city's nightlife. Super kind people. Took us to Altun Ha. The apartment was as described, good balcony (bit noisy from the traffic). Fully equipped kitchen, good size bed and bath with hot water. AC worked perfectly. We will recommend this place for sure. about 10 min drive to the centre of the city.
Bit noisy from traffic.

Verified reviewWhen we arrived, no one was there to greet us. They were closed for the day. Tried calling , number was not going through. Finally got her on the phone and she was a little rude.We reserved an "apartment" and had to get on a boat ride , we arrived 2 mins after closing and she was gone. Like you knew we were coming and needed to check in... you couldn't give your customers 5 mins extra of your time? Especially if you know there are visitors and bringing money to your business... It was in the worst area, not what was advertised. The room was not what we looked at online. And way smaller. The bathroom was nice. But that's about it. So we left right away and canceled the room. I would never recommend this place to anyone!! Horrible experience!! And I'm from this country, so it's nothing other than really bad customer service. The pictures , the 1st is what is advertised, the other 2 are what we saw.
Hi sorry you had a bad experience. You booked at 12:28 on the same day of check-in. At 2:02 I ask for your arrival time you did not reply, so we had no idea what time you would get there, please keep in mind you booked a Airbnb not a hotel.As mentioned in our message someone is there between 8 AM and 5PM and after 5 we have a self Check in system in place I send you the self checking information. Your call was returned 2 minutes after we missed your call but the call kept been cancelled we finally got through to you and helped you check in. You also got the exact room you booked we have 8 different units and the pictures on site exactly what the room look like. We are also in one of the nicest part of the city.

It was a little far from the old part of the city. There are some restaurants, shops and an ATM close by. If your up for an decent walk, you shoulf be good

Verified reviewOn the positive side, Gaby was very nice and helpful; and the owner allowed us a later check-out of noon. Beds were comfortable and each room had an air conditioning unit, and it had a small balcony.
We were in unit 3 on the top floor (pictures 43 to 50). Everything was very run down from the one chipped side plate to the stained furniture, wobbly kitchen chair and broken cabinets and tiles. The "kettle" for boiling water was an aluminum one meant to be heated on the stove that we never could get lit. With no hot water in the kitchen sink we had to run water through the tiny coffee pot to wash dishes, and no dish towels we provided to dry them. Three remotes were provided for the TV, with no instructions, and my technical savvy husband gave up trying to figure it out (we never tried the bedroom TVs). There are no closets to hang anything, or hooks in the bathroom for wet towels. The side table in one of the bedrooms nearly collapsed when I tried to move it closer to the bed (I realized the wall was holding it up), and table lamps were non-existent. We are not high-maintenence travelers, but this unit barely met basic needs.

Verified reviewThe unit was close to a grocery store, ATM, etc. easy walking distance
The shower drain was full of hair. The refrigerator looked like it was cleaned with a very dirty rag. The unit old furniture and hadn’t in deep clean for a very long time. The electrical outlet in one of the rooms didn’t have a face plate. I could go on. Stayed two nights took two showers one I had hot water one, I did not have hot water. It rained and the water came in the door and flooded the floor. Guests are instructed to take out their own garbage. The unit was on the third floor with very steep and slippery steps. I reserved two rooms the honeymoon suite and skyline 3. One of the members of my party was put in the hospital before the trip and it was beyond the cancellation time. I notified the hotel that I was going to cancel a room. I was only given a key to skyline three which was the cheaper of the rooms. No opportunity to use the more expensive of the rooms that I paid for. I tried talking to the manager, and she was extremely rude and implied. I was trying to get out of paying the bill, which wasn’t my intent. I very seldom leave a poor review for anything, but this one I had to make an exception.

Verified reviewWe appreciated the AC and hot water for showers. The washer and dryer were great too. They were quick to respond to texts/messages.
There was no hot water to wash dishes, minimal kitchen appliances and because the water is not drinkable- it would have been appropriate to have at least one bottle there upon check in. We would have liked to be in an area with walkable restaurants also.

Verified reviewLocation was correct as to proximity of grocery store/ATM
We had this reservation for several months, reserved the top floor apt. with the terrace.(Honeymoon suite) Communication was good until we arrived at 8pm in the dark. Driver(Bruce) who picked us up got a text from the manager(Sharine) and told him our room had been changed to the 2nd floor due to the maid mistakenly booked the top floor apt with the terrace to someone else. WE were reassigned the 2nd floor apt, even though we had the door code to #3 given to us the night before. The freezer door sticks closed like a vacuum,and won't open. The microwave turntable does not rotate. There was no dish soap, paper towels, nor cooking oil. The wifi worked intermittently that night, and Not at all in the morning. We couldn't connect with taxi.This was NOT what we paid for! There was supposed to be a welcome book with contact info , restaurants, taxi info, tours etc. in the room. There was NOT. The maid called us a local guy for transport the next morning. Earl...he was cool. Hauled our bags.Took us to digicell to get us BZ sim cards so our AT&T phones would work, then downtown to the wharf. He was with us for 45min. Charged us $25US.
