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 reviewIt’s really quiet but also very a 2 min walk to all the restaurants in downtown Tulum. They were really responsive and helpful with suggestions. It’s not a luxury hotel which is obvious given the price. Great value for money! Also close to the colectivos (buses) that take you to the beach and the ruins

Verified reviewThe staff was very kind and gave us everything we needed and they even gave us a new years present. The location was good because it was near downtown and the jaguar park.
Once of the bed mattress was not comfortable and some pieces of furniture were not practical. The decorations can be better. The TV screen was very small.

Verified reviewThe room that we stayed in was dirty and moldy. We left earlier. The location was great, Tulum was excellent. The room on the ground floor, right next to the pool, they should not give that room to guests anymore.

Verified reviewStaff was really helpful, when we complained about the apartment not looking like the one we booked, they opened an extra area for us. It was in a good location near restaurants, cafes and a supermarket.
The things in the kitchen weren't really clean. There was a lot of humidity in the apartment. There were giant cockroaches coming out of the bathroom sink.
Hello! Thank you very much for your comments, we are working on improving, using your suggestions and observations at every opportunity. We are always at your service, thank you for your preference. Best wishes

Verified reviewThe location was excellent it was within walking distance to supermarkets, restaurants and Tulum Avenue. The staff were fantastic and kind, very attentive to our needs. Our family fell very safe at this property. Our Villa was a good size and had everything we needed when we made meals. Having a pool on the property was a plus. I definitely recommend this property to families.
During one of the days we stayed to relax in the room the WIFI was not available. The property manager was working with the company to try to fix it, but the WIFI never came back on.
Hi! thanks a lot for your nice commentaries, sorry for the wifi situation, it's working normally now for a next time Best Regards

Verified reviewFriendly check in person
Couch in room was stained. Ants in bathroom. Bed / pillows very uncomfortable. No tv . Window above bed wouldn’t close all the way, people on patio directly behind the room smoked and played loud music. Smoke was coming into our room ( disgusting) light from their patio was illuminating our room because there is no curtain on window above bed. You get what you pay for .
