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):
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.
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.).

NetherlandsLocation is just a few steps away from the park, staff is very friendly, and rooms were spacious enough (We had rooms for 3 persons with private toilet), and the facilities in general were good. The only kind of negative side is that there were no ventilators (or A/C) in the rooms and it was very hot already in March, but I can understand it as electricity is via a generator a few hours a day. (And almost sure non of the hotels near by have them)

Canadanot hot water at all. I would love to see the hostel work more with the community that is around the place, to create a circular economy in that place,, looking to benefit more people. Music was a bit louder till late.

CanadaThe location is wonderful, right alongside the river. Our cabin, in particular, was a little older but clean enough and comfortable. The food served on site is lacking for what you pay, but the staff are fantastic and go above and beyond to make you comfortable. Our only complaint on our stay, which we extended a day, was the sub-par food.

CanadaThe power hours were not consistent. It changed daily. Food hours was when they felt like serving you. Staff was great the first day, then it seems we were more of a burden than anything. They were more interested in being on their phones or chatting together than helping anyone. We constantly had to go up for menus and food orders. They would serve some people food, but when we asked they were closed. I asked what time they stopped serving food they said 5:20. Yet they took someone’s order at 5:15. It seems they favoured local. The day before it was different. The prices changed on some things like coffee each day.
The location is unbeatable. You stare at the bat cave across the river. It’s right beside the pools of Semuc Champey. They warn you about the power and times it will be on or off, prior to arrival. Wifi worked at the hotel even when there was no power. The view is stunning and the rooms are basic but expected way out there. Close to some nice local BBQ’s where the food was much better. And a great happy hour!!

United KingdomThe bed sheets had not been changed... The staff was mostly men, lacked some female energy in my opinion. The bright lights were on till 9pm, it would be much nicer if only a few were kept on in the evening.
The location is perfect as you can walk to Semuc Champey within just a few minutes. The shared bathrooms were very close to our room. The rooms are simple but they have a nice space in front to relax.
