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 reviewI like the colorful Shower 🚿 and they have a peacock 🦚 lovely pool
The outdoor shower 🚿 wasn't working. Was a little disappointed because having a shower outside makes you feel somewhat one with nature but more importantly I believe they need to get some better towels. I hate drying off only to be removing the white residue From the towel off my skin.
Good morning. Thank you for staying with us at Tropical Magnolia Resort. We thank you for sending us your experience. Checking it this morning, also our apologies about the towel we will work in changing it. Once more thank you. We checked the out door shower . It is working . The middle knob need to be turned to make shower head work. Towels are new. We need all of them to be washed before putting it up for use, The lint came out of the towel because it is new.

Verified reviewI had an amazing stay in one of the recently built casitas. Masterfully crafted out of wood, top quality finishes with furniture, bedding, towels. There was lots of space inside (I practise yoga with 2 mats); I ran each morning & showered outdoors overlooking the lily pond. Bed was comfortable, shower hot, & quite novel, lighting up red & green to indicate the temperature of the water. The trolley tour around the source farm is fascinating (even at the end of the dry season). I was very taken care of by the owner Dr Mathews, Antonio & Mags. They were very accommodating for my food needs & adapted breakfast for me. Over 5 weeks of driving around Belize, staying in 9 different accommodations, this was the most special. The dry season was broken whilst I was here so I experienced a spectacular lightening show, and over the next 2 days the incredible flowering & fragrance blooming around the gardens. Do not miss on you journey in south Belize.
Nothing I didn’t like. Very small personal preferences; I prefer a flat pillow (those on bed are very deep but there was a flatter one on the sofa bed), plastic toilet seat (when everything else was high end product.
Greeting from Tropical Magnolia Resort. Thank you for the great review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us. We will work on the recommendation you recommended. Hope to see again.

Verified reviewWe had a wonderful time staying in Tropical Magnolia with our friends. We booked two cabanas last weekend. The place is beautiful and has a calming energy flowing all over with mature fruit trees and ornamental plants everywhere you look. The peacocks and the lotus ponds give this place a unique and pleasant vibe that you don’t otherwise experience. The cabanas are sustainably built by the local Maya artisans and have all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The owners are exceptionally welcoming and take personal attention to make their guests feel at home. We will definitely be visiting this place again!
Thank you for your wonderful review, we are glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Hopefully to see all very soon.
