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 reviewTranquil, tucked away, but still in the middle of things. The terrace view was exceptional, and sunsets on the island are a joy. Breakfasts were brilliant. The bed was huge and comfortable, and the room was cool and shaded during the day with amazing views. We particularly appreciated the cold water dispenser, as we were often thirsty when getting back in from a day exploring!
Nothing! At first we thought we would need a kettle or coffee making facilities in the room, but ultimately this was not needed.

Verified reviewEverything was wonderful, starting from the room, the view, the amenities. All staff members were very hospitable and helpful. They also gave us good recommendations about sightseeing and nearby restaurants. The high point for me was the breakfast with the view of the sea. The location was also perfect for us to walk around or take a bike and explore the island.
Nothing to say.

Verified reviewBeautiful design and fantastic sea view from our room, we wish we stayed here longer. The hotel was close to the centre but still very peaceful and the manager was very accommodating of our dietary needs and helped ensure we get a breakfast without any meat or dairy. We would come back here!
We loved it! Some small observations- one of the stairs going up is a bit wobbly which can feel a bit scary, it's probably fine but worth getting fixed. The hotel also has a small stretch of beach and direct sea access but no sand / beach loungers on the actual beach ( but you are close to long stretches of sandbanks nearby or can lounge on hotel grounds and it wasn't an issue for us)

Verified reviewThe design was great, it’s cozy and comfortable. Staff is friendly and breakfast was home made and tasty.
We gave a call one day before coming and asked about the status of the sea, because we had bad experience with sea weed in Cancun. We were assured that there’s no sea weed in Mexican gulf, and we were assured the sea was clear and beautiful. Unfortunately when we arrived to the hotel we felt a bad smell. The beach was full of smelly mud - it was impossible to get into the sea from the house.
Thank you for your valuable feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the design, the cozy atmosphere, and our homemade breakfast. It’s great to know you felt comfortable during your stay. We’re sorry the natural beach conditions didn’t meet your expectations. While we shared information from a local perspective, nature can be unpredictable. We appreciate your input and will use it to improve how we communicate these situations. We hope everything within our control — including the complimentary room upgrade — made your stay enjoyable. We’d love to welcome you back. Warm regards, Casa CatBa Team

Verified reviewThe property is in an amazing location, on a section of the beach with little to no seaweed. It is very modern, aesthetically beautiful and each room has unique touches provided such as books and ours had a small speaker. The staff are friendly, make you feel very welcomed and the breakfast as well as welcome drink are top notch.
There are very narrow stairs to get to the rooms on the top floors so if accessibility is an issue, make sure to book a bottom room. Otherwise perfect.

Verified reviewCasa Cat Ba is a dream. The beachfront location is unbeatable - peaceful, private, and stunningly beautiful. The design is chic yet relaxed, blending perfectly with the natural surroundings. The staff are incredibly warm and attentive, making you feel right at home. Every detail - from the delicious breakfast to the cozy, stylish rooms - was perfect. It’s the kind of place that stays with you long after you leave. Can’t wait to come back!

Verified reviewGreat location, excellent service, and delicious breakfast. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring all our requests were met. The room was comfortable and well-equipped with everything needed for a perfect holiday. We loved every minute of our stay! One more thing. We saw dolphins from our terrace at breakfast! How cool is that?!
A bit pricey, and the new wall built next to the neighbor partially blocks the view—it’s a shame to have a wall so close to the water. At night, the raccoons had a party above us! One night, we woke up several times—it was quite funny, though.

Verified reviewStaying at Casa Cat Ba on Holbox Island was an absolute dream. The boutique feel, stunning ocean views, and peaceful atmosphere made for a truly relaxing getaway. One of my favorite aspects was my ground-level walkout room—I loved stepping right outside without dealing with stairs. Despite being close to the lobby, it was incredibly quiet, offering both convenience and tranquility. The service was exceptional, thanks to Ivette, Patty, Zuri, and the rest of the team, who were incredibly friendly and attentive. They provided excellent service throughout the hotel and restaurant and had great recommendations for things to do around the island.
The only minor drawback is that the beach in front of the property is on the narrower side, especially compared to the wider stretches further down by the of town.

Verified reviewThe property was exactly what we hoped for and expected. The decor and ‘vibe’ was relaxed, the staff were on hand whenever needed (and made you feel right at home), the location was also ideal (in between the busy towns and big resorts in a lovely spot which was relaxing but had a nice energy if you wanted to be more lively).
Nothing. The only drawback is a lack of daytime food menu (drinks available all day but only food was guacamole and chips). Very easy to wander down the beach to the numerous beach bars and restaurants to get food though!

Verified reviewI loved that it was a small private type of property. Only 6 rooms and the beach in front of it was absolutely beautiful. Stunning views from our room. There were always sunbeds available. Breakfast was very good, and the staff was outstanding. They always made you feel like they were happy to help and answered all my questions. I was comfortable, relaxed and felt 100% safe. They even provide you with 2 complimentary drinks upon arrival that were very tasty. All in all, a marvelous experience. I will return.
I didn't like that I couldn't stay there and live. I really did not want to go.
