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 reviewStunning place to stay, with good food and poolside cocktails and lots of activities around. Staff were friendly and helpful. We did a kayak tour into San Ignacio which was super chill and the guide was very informative. Got to see monkeys and toucans!

Verified reviewAmazingly gorgeous property, kind and helpful staff, and the onsite food and drinks were delicious!
We did not realize that it was 4 miles down a dirt road which made coordination for some activities a little more challenging and costly than anticipated, but the property more than made up for that. I would come back in a heartbeat!

Verified reviewThe staff were incredible, all so helpful and friendly. Night walks with John to find wildlife were fun. Amazing seeing the toucans at breakfast.
If you’re not keen on tarantulas this is probably not a great place for you 😅

Verified reviewThis lodge was a pleasant surprise to the entire family. The staff was amazing from the reception to the dining services. The pool area was beautiful overlooking the river. The food was delicious. I think the best part of this lodge was the birdwatching right from your dining room table. The staff has a perch with food and all different types come and eat. The room was spacious and everyone was super accommodating. Highly recommend.
The only thing that i didn't like was the road going to the lodge. Very bumpy and just things caught me by surprise while driving up to it at night. Made sure we did the road in the daylight. I think the signage to the property could be more apparent from the road. It is 3.5 miles from the main road to the lodge. Other than that, nothing.

Verified reviewSweet Songs is set in a beautiful location in the middle of the jungle. The lodge is lovely and clean and the beds were really comfortable. The facilities are great, we especially loved the pool. The staff are fantastic and couldn’t do enough for us. They were also great with the kids, especially Maysin. It’s amazing having breakfast and dinner in such beautiful surroundings, especially when kinkajous, toucans and other animals join you. We were sad to leave!
Nothing!

distance from san pedro (particularly length of road once you leave the main road) and quality of the road to get there. room 11 was a little bit outdated and requires some renovation. was ok though and comfortable. bathroom sink not convenient to use. shower pretty bad condition. room location a bit far from the main area in the lodge.

Verified reviewThe scenery was amazing, toucans right outside the bungalow. Pool and river were great.
The food was incredibly expensive, four times the price of the same meal in the tourist restaurants elsewhere. As a family of four it ruined the experience a little. We stayed in five different locations in Belize, and this was the only one we were disappointed with in terms of value for money.
