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 reviewLocation was great, very close to city center, and quiet, at end of street
The apartment had two rooms separated by a small door. Each room had a split air conditioner. Unfortunately, the unit in bedroom was not functioning. It was extremely hot that weekend and sleep was almost impossible. I called several times and at first the man handling the keys said he would do something about it, but then he turned his phone off so he could not be contacted. I went to neighbor and rented a stand fan to put by bed. No attempt was made even to refund the rental fee, let alone refund any part of the unit fee, which was very high. Also, I paid extra for the pool use. The pool was dirty and cloudy. You couldn't even see your feet as you stood in it. We were afraid to use the pool because we were not sure if it was safe or not.
Thank-you for your review. We work very hard to please our guests, so when there is a complaint, we research what happened so that we can determine what we can do better. I found the following: On the second night of your stay, your AC stopped working at approximately 3:00 am in the morning. That was very unfortunate, as I understand that it was very hot, but there was no way of repairing the AC at that time of the night. By leaving the door between the rooms open, you would be able to get cool air from the one conditioner. As we could not get a service man on Sunday, I made arrangements for you to pick up a big fan from the guests in the two bedroom next door, as they were not using it. They couldn’t understand why you didn’t pick up the fan as planned. I do apologize for the pool, as further investigation showed that there was a broken part in the pool system. We have never charged for the use of the pool, but are disappointed that it wasn’t working properly for your stay. You can be sure that we are sourcing pool parts and will have it back in operation as soon as the parts arrive. Operating in a third world country makes it difficult to get parts and supplies that we need for machinery on the property. Unfortunately, break downs do occur, and it is always trying for our guests and management, however we do the best we can to ensure our guests are happy. I remember your staying last year and was disappointed that I wasn’t there personally to welcome you back. Regards, Rita Roy

Verified reviewProperty and house were well maintained. Beach adjacent, and cold AC.
Ants all over the kitchen even with no food out, after using bug spray I found 3 species. Gate has a motor but its broken and has a nest in it. Not fun to walk through mud to open and close the gate in pouring rain.
Thank-you for your review. We work very hard to please our guests, so when a guest has a complaint, we research what happened so that we can determine what we can do better. For the first 10 days that you stayed with us, you were delighted with your stay and told Travis several times. However, on the 11th day you decided to cut your stay short by 3 days and wanted a refund. On all the booking sites refunds are not allowed if a guest decides to leave early on a confirmed stay. You answered me on the site with a threat: “Me being out a few hundred dollars was a small price to pay for the entertainment you are about to have”. I’m sorry that you chose to handle your change of mind in this manner, as its hardly fair to a property that looked after your needs and fulfilled the terms of the agreement. Going forward, I suggest that you purchase travel insurance. I wish you the best in your travels, Rita A Roy President Royale Manor

Verified reviewLiked it a lot. Located at the end of a quiet road with a canal running along side and in back. Well kept grounds and interior. Great air conditioners and fans. Kitchen had everything one would need and then some. Drinking water provided. Secure parking. There is only 2 rental units so very little human traffic. Nice trees and great little private pool. Kind and helpful host/owner.
There is nothing that we didn’t like.
Thanks so much for your lovely review. I hope you had a good trip home and that you enjoyed your stay in Belize.

I don't know of anything I would improve except a coffee maker in my room.
Thanks so much for your lovely comments. There was a coffee maker on the bottom drawer of the pull out pantry. I will have Doris check and purchase one if it is not there. Thanks for staying, Rita

Verified reviewThe pool was nice and the bed was comfortable
The listing stated cable and satellite tv. We never had either. When we arrived Rita told us we were getting the two bedroom instead of the cottage because she didn’t want to move her stuff. I think we would have been better off in the cottage. We were told not to run the ac in the bedroom and the living room at the same time. This made it impossible to be comfortable in both areas at the same time during the heat of the day. I don’t think this would have been a problem in the smaller unit. I also think the advertised tv would have been available in the smaller unit. There were other minor maintenance issues that weren’t worth mentioning especially after how our request for the advertised tv was received by Rita. She was grumpy. I would have given this place w much higher score if Rita had just been apologetic about the tv situation. She was always busy with something more important than us.
I am sorry that you found everything so wanting on your recent visit. I fail to understand how a property is rated at mostly 10’s and then could fall so short for one guest? The problem lies in attitude. Not once did I hear please or thank-you. Demands had to be met immediately. After a few days it became unbearable. The cable was replaced by a Firestick that supplied much more content. Cable supplies mostly Spanish programming. However, all was not lost, I found your husband to be a pleasant and considerate guest. As a host, I go to great lengths to please guests. It’s unfortunate that hardly one thing was to your liking.

I’m so sorry that you didn’t appreciate Royale Manor. When we get a rating much less than 10 it harms the property and does not reflect how others rate us. It lowers our average score. I hope you have been able to find 5 star properties for a 2 star price.

Verified reviewAWesome host deserves the high rating Rita has.
I'm so sorry that you didn't feel that you got good value for your money. That seldom happens to us, as guests are delighted with a property which is close to a three quarter million dollars investment. We upgraded you to a 209.00 per night unit when you paid $129.00 per night, so you can imagine my surprise to hear that you didn't see the value. The location is clear to our guests, so if you desired to be downtown then you should book a property in town. Our guests see this location as a plus, as it is much quieter here, no barking dogs, loud music and risk of crime.
