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 reviewVery cute cabana in the tree. Felt home instantly. Very well equipped. Very easy check in and check out.
The property was a bit far from Placencia village, but I rented a golf cart for the whole stay and it was real easy to navigate. The house creaks a lot with the wind, part of the charm but a bit scary 😬

Verified reviewWhat a magical place to stay it felt like we were all alone in the treetops. So fun while eating dinner on the screened in porch to watch the auguti’s down below us. Fun to watch the birds too! We had a cat and it was easy to get into town.
They need to trim the trees back from the house. The trees were growing through the screens upstairs making holes and letting the bugs in.

The front door was a bit broken and hard to lock

Verified reviewThe space is very nice. The team on the ground were lovely.
Many of the facilities were very run down or even broken, the cooking equipment in particular. This had to be replaced but was replaced with something so old I had to use a fork to prop up the hot plate. The A/C was very noisy, sounding like an idling diesel truck under the bedroom. The bed was probably once quite comfortable but is now concave into the middle. It was advertised as having two bikes but only one was available, even after asked multiple times to have access them. The laundry was offered but could not be done for us. The road running right outside the property is very loud. There is not really access to a beach due to local development.

Verified reviewThe unit was great - a good size, very clean. It really felt like being in a large, comfortable tree house. It was easy to reach the concierge by email when we had a question, and it was dealt with immediately, even on a Sunday. We did not have a car while we stayed, and got around fine with taxis, but it would be better to have your own transportation as there are few restaurants within walking distance. The village of Seine Bight is over a kilometre down the road, with groceries and several restaurants, but in the heat of the day it's too far to walk. Blue Crab Beach, a public beach, is close by.
As is, this is a great place but you really need your own transportation to get around. Bicycles on site to borrow or rent would make it perfect for people who are not driving their own car.

Verified reviewNice design. Nice space. A lot of room. Fun porch.
The furniture. Especially the bed and sofa were the worst in a month and a half of staying all over in guest houses, hostels and private houses. Pulled my back from the sinking mattress. Just horrible. The logistics and security follow up from the company was excessive and redundant. The links in email didn’t work. They demanded so much info when it was already booked. Location is ok if you have car. 20min dr to placencia. Property is for sale so perhaps that’s why not investing in it. Also no local person there to get info from

Verified reviewThe treehouse is really cool. The beach was across the street.
The trash situation was not ideal. We would leave it at the bottom of the stairs and nobody would pick it up. Then we put it out on the street like we were told and the raccoons got into it. I think a neighbor ended up picking it up. The bikes were difficult to use as the tires were fairly flat and the seats were so rusted they were not adjustable. If you have a small child - the ladder up to the loft can be dangerous. We have a toddler and he became obsessed with the ladder so we had to block it off during the day. The loft does not have a good railing for toddlers either so you really have to watch the young kids up there. We travel a lot and the bed in the main room was probably the worst we have ever slept on. There were a lot of great things about this place, but for such a long stay, the bed was definitely a downside. The kitchen could also use some updated equipment - the non-stick pans were beyond scratched up, the can opener was rusted and didn't work, could use more utensils.

Verified reviewGreat place to have a lovely relaxing time in Placencia. Nice area for cooking and chilling out. The bedroom was spacious and our kids enjoyed the mezzanine space upstairs for their private area.
The small cooker didn't work so we found it hard to toast bread in the mornings

Verified reviewThe Black Orchid tree house was so cool! We especially enjoyed using the shower. With all the louvers open, it really felt like showering in the tree tops! As an open-air concept home, the addition of AC in the bedroom was greatly appreciated. Pleasantly surprised how quiet the morning road traffic was, and we loved the songs of the birds with coffee in the morning (bring your own grounds). Kiddo enjoyed having a whole loft to himself.
Hard to complain about this neat place, but if I'm completely honest, the mattress is really a foam pad. Supportive enough for a few nights, but that's my only constructive criticism. Also, not really a complaint, and wasn't an issue for us, just be mindful that you and your neighbors can hear each other. Quiet time is at 10pm and seems to be respected by the guests.

Verified reviewI liked the rustic feel and simplicity of the design. The space is functional and a good value. The tree-top feel is quite nice because of all the birds. They begins to sing and feed in the trees at sunrise. Exotic birds and other wildlife are visible on the property.
1) The Black Orchid Cabana sits very close to Placencia Rd. The traffic noise is somewhat unsettling at times. There were some aesthetic problems too: 2) Very old toilet seat 3) Broken faucet handle in the bathroom (hot water) 4) The security is somewhat suspect. One of the lock mechanisms (the inner sliding glass door) was faulty. It didn’t lock properly. The outer door locks securely. But it is a wooden-framed, screen door. 😳

There was a cockroach in the home - it was gross🙃 also the local managers were difficult to get ahold of and not very helpful.

Beach access is not that great. The trees block any breeze making it a hot stay. Walls are a bit dirty. There is not a lot with in walking distance.

Verified reviewNice high off the ground cabana in the trees. Drinkable water from the tap. Nice outside seating area, protected from nighttime insects.
Kitchen area & utensils were not clean& very used. Dish clothes were grubby & old. Beach Towels were not fit for purpose, bike’s available were really rusty & not maintained. Old half used previous guests toiletries bottles left, not pleasant. We asked in advance for the sofa bed to be made, linen was delivered in a creased bundle which was not clean. This is the 2nd Vacasa property we have stayed at which has been disappointing. The photos representing the property are highly edited & not accurate.

Verified reviewAir conditioner was useful for drowning out road noise at night.
Too noisy! The main road is right beside the cabins and they are an open design so loud trucks and motorcycles are very annoying. The upper loft is accessed by a steep ladder so it's hard to bring snacks and drinks to watch the tv.. The sliding glass door doesn't lock properly.

Verified reviewThe Cabanas were quaint.
The staff ignored us. We called and texted on WhatsApp. Did not provide enough blankets even after being asked. Two of us had to sleep with just sheets and we were cold at night, had to sleep with coats and pants on. Would not provide toilet paper after using the small amount they did. The ad did not indicate there were limits on toiletries, etc. . Made us feel like we were begging for anything we requested. No dish towels. The mattress was concave on both sides, not comfortable. Showers were pitiful. No communication, nor did the caretakers make us feel welcome. There was no light above the stairs, which was really dangerous.. The ad on booking.com made you think there was a beach with sand and hammocks nearby. There is a beach within walking distance where no one goes littered with plastic and seaweed. It is not maintained, very deceiving. The bikes they indicate can be borrowed look like they have been locked to the post for 10 years. It is up for sale, and it looks like they just want to offload the property and could care less . When we did actually see someone who was cleaning and we asked for a role of paper towel for the kitchen, the look on her was one of exasperation. There were x4 ladies, and none of us would recommend this place. We were there for a week, and they made us feel embarrassed to ask for anything. Not enough garbage bags, etc, and did not provide when asked. It might be ok for one or two days but no longer. Staying here actually hampered our enjoyment of Placencia.
