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 reviewConstruction across street was noisy. Steps weren't good for some of guests. Cafe staff person not friendly.
Staff was nice. Didn't like the desk reference to breakfast included when it was for some other program. Very confusing.
Thank you for your review. We're pleased to hear that our staff continues to deliver excellent service. We apologize for the noise inconvenience caused by the nearby Fort George construction. On most days, including today, the area is much quieter. Your comments regarding OURS Café will be shared with their management team for their attention.

Our last day the water was turned off but we didn’t receive a call or notice.
Thank you for your review. We are glad to know you appreciated our location close to the water taxi. We do apologize for the inconvenience of the water being turn off for a moment, so we could have done a minor plumbing fix. We hope to see you again.

Verified reviewThis place and the surrounding area is SAFE. Pool was refreshing, staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The history of the building was amazing. Within walking distance, is the Water Taxi where you can purchase drinks, snacks and souvenirs.
Breakfast was lacking and overpriced. Next door at the Treehouse has probably the BEST food in Belize City. There are 4 dogs who guard the residence next door and bark throughout the night.

Verified reviewI stayed one night during my visit. The location is great … right by the sea. I hope the owners consider a full renovation to update the property fixtures and furnishings. Keep the property style if they wish but it’s time for an update. The staff was great and the price was acceptable.

Verified reviewThe room that we were assigned was quite large. There is also a swinging bench on the third floor which is a lovely place to relax and watch the sunrise if you are an early riser. The pool has a lot of seating around it, but the pool itself is tiny. The rooms were clean, and the beds comfortable. The option for an extra cot was appreciated travelling as a family of 4. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location is close to the ferry.
At the time of us staying at this hotel (Feb. 2025) there was a lot of construction right in front of the hotel. It was quite noisy. Also, the hotel right next door had a big party when we stayed at the Great House Inn and it was also very noisy. Not the hotel's fault, but definitely affected our stay. The hotel felt very pricey for what you got. Aside from a complementary banana in the morning, you had to pay for everything, and it was a quite expensive hotel. The breakfasts that they were selling were not at all worth it. The hair dryer in the room seemed very ill, and the bathrooms in general were quite dated. Overall this property feels past its prime, and definitely tailored toward a 60+ demographic.
Thank you for your review. We are glad to know you enjoyed our room accommodations along with our outdoor verandahs and seating areas. Our pool and lounge areas are loved by all guest. We are conveniently located minutes away from the water taxi, restaurants, and the sea side. We are happy to know our staff continues to provide exceptional service. We are in the process of updating all our rooms and lobby areas. We hope to welcome you back for another stay.

Verified reviewBelize -- a true melting pot reflected in its people, languages, cultures, vistas, regions and cuisines, a strong dedication in preserving its history, biodiversity, and natural wonders, a must for open minded travelers. A stunning country on the eastern coast of Central America, by renting a car, I witnessed spectacular places, including San-Ignacio, Balmonte, Cayo, Maya-Beach, Seine-Bight, Placencia, Santa-Cruz, Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve, Hidden-Valley, Chan-Chich, the lush Hummingbird Highway, and Hopkins. By taking the excellent ferry system, I saw San-Pedro, the South and Secret beaches in Ambergris Caye, and bohemian Caye Caulker. And at last, I took the time to appreciate Belize City, where I stayed on 3 returns, at The Great House Inn, for unique experiences. It is always difficult to resume such a journey... here are my best memorable photography! Please do enjoy! Paul

Verified reviewEverything was ok There was 1 bottle of 1 liter of water available per day. There was a coffee pot and coffe to prepare. And, there were conplimentary bananas.
At this moment, there is a building in progress opposite to the hotel, so there was so.much noise due to the work (during the day).
Thank you for your comment. We are happy to know you enjoyed and appreciated the little extras in the rooms. There is construction across the street but on a day like today it is very quiet. We hope to welcome you back.
