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 reviewVirginia, Ken, and Luis were exceptional hosts! We enjoyed being up on a hill with a breeze and a sparkling pool. It was private with gorgeous views of the hills. A great location with only a 10-minute drive into town. We would for sure stay here again!

Verified reviewBeing able to order breakfast to make yourself in your room was incredibly helpful. Some days--we were being picked up at the villas at 8AM for excursions and it was really nice to have everything we needed in the room to cook ourselves a hearty, filling breakfast before a long day of events. The information booklet in the room is quite helpful. We also had our laundry done one day and it was folded so nicely when we got back from our day, and some items had even been hung to prevent wrinkles. The staff really showed hospitality in more ways than I can recall.
Everything was incredible!!!

Verified reviewLoved everything about this place , location and the apartment itself .
I would say one thing at night coming up the driveway could be dangerous. Also if two cars don’t fit in, it leads to backing up on a very narrow hilly driveway.

Verified reviewWe were greeted by Virginia, her friendly pups and 2 toucans upon arrival. The property is a 10/10. The view is stunning and sunsets are a must nightly. We stayed in cabin 4 and it was absolutely perfect! Literally spotless! The air conditioning was perfect and the cabin had every amenity possible. The infinity pool was fabulous for afternoon dips to cool off and the chair floats were an added bonus. Please come stay with Virginia and Ken! If you don’t you are honestly missing out!

Verified reviewThe owner and staff were amazing! The location is remote and has great forest and wild life and is less than 10 mins from San Ignacio center. The villas are modern and very clean and comfortable. The dark sky there if you are into stargazing is amazing! Highly recommend it! Honestly, the owner thought of her guests and any convenience you think of, it is there, like water pitcher and glasses in the fridge.

Verified reviewThe staff were very accommodating and the view was spectacular. Close to town, but still like a world away. The website does not do this retreat justice. Way above our expectations and wished we booked a longer stay.
The bed was the one Achilles heel. Though there was a topper, it was way too soft, like sleeping on a marshmallow. Not enough of a turn off to keep us from staying there again though!

Verified reviewThe sunsets at Villa Cayo must be among the best in the country. The grounds are stunning and very secluded, I highly recommend having a vehicle if you plan to stay here. The pictures don’t do this place justice, it’s spectacular.
It would have been nice to have been given a heads up for the planned power outage so we could have better prepared for our travel day.

Verified reviewA beautiful room overlooking the pool and lush jungle surroundings. Very comfortable. Loved being awoken by two parrots briefly tapping on the windows.

Verified reviewWe loved this place. The room was just right for two. The kitchen had all that we needed to cook dinner the three nights we were there. Not too far from town.
The road noise during the day. But you should not be spending too much time during the day there. So.much to see

Verified reviewWow. An extraordinary location in the hills above San Ignacio, away from the town noise and congestion, but a thirty minute walk or ten minute taxi ride to the center. Quiet, except for occasional dog barking, and so beautiful. We loved the villa and all the amenities. Everything we needed was provided. The room was spotless. Would gladly stay again.
The mattress was softer than I prefer, but I got excellent sleep despite that. The shower vacillated between warmish to hot.

Verified reviewGreat place to stay with friendly hosts. Villa Cayo is only a few 3.5K from San Ignacio which is great for restaurants, shops and grocery stores. Located on a hill above the tree line gives you the jungle feel with great sunsets. A well maintained touch of paradise.

Verified reviewThe villa owners are the kindest people! When we had ants in our room (due to heavy rain so not the villa’s fault), they swiftly moved us to a new room. They also offered great tips and were overall very sweet.
Thanks for the review! We hope to service you again in the future. Come back anytime!
