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 reviewWe enjoyed the family, Esly and Luis are great hosts and they serve a very nice breakfast. They have a lovely yard where we could sit and enjoy a great variety of birds. The room was small but adequate.

Verified reviewLovely experience. There are many birds singing in the spacious garden. The building is cool during heat of day. The location is close to main attractions of Tlaquepaque but still quiet and peaceful. Owners are attentive and kind. We enjoyed our time very much. Highly recommended

Verified reviewThis was our second stay here due to the host family gracious and accommodating nature with a central location allowing pets. Very quiet and comforting with a large shaded rear yard to relax or play with my dog. Very nice low-key touches that felt more like staying in a home rather than a small hotel. Delicious breakfast made to order was included. Luis and his wife both spoke English and were knowledgeable about the area.
Free parking was included but was located a few blocks away. Bathroom and bedroom was small but well appointed. Hot water to shower takes over 5 minutes to dispense hot water.

Verified reviewOwners were extremely friendly and helpful. Simple, but tasty breakfast served each morning. Location is fabulous. There is a “common area” to gather with friends up by the rooms we stayed in and a nice outside space.
Bed was VERY firm (I liked it) but some might not.

Verified reviewFamily property in the historical centre - just few blocks from amazing street Independencia and Cathedral. Very nice hosts - couple, their little boy and well educated dog Kira Very good breakfest - prepared in family kitchen in front of you. Nature sounds in early morning and roosters as an alarm. Change of towels every day.
Could be cleaner in the bathroom. The garden is big but a little messy.

Verified reviewThis was one of the nicest Bed & Breakfast places that I have ever stayed in anywhere. It's a family run operation and I would stay stay there again on any return visits to Tlaquepaque. It's a 5 minute walk to the tourist zone around Jardin Hidalgo. Many good restaurants and bars throughout this area, so with live Mariachi music. This area is one of my favorite areas in the Guadalajara area - a true Pueblo Magico. Breakfast is good and the host gives you a choice of options to have. The fresh fruit, coffee and Mexican style scrambled eggs that I had were wonderful. The property is huge inside and has a beautiful backyard I just loved spending time there. It's peaceful and quiet at night and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. Please give this place a try the next time you come to Tlaquepaque. You will want to keep coming back there again and again. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality you displayed to me during my visit there!😉😊💓
Nothing.

Verified reviewThis was a lovely place. The owners were kind and helpful, going above and beyond. They made us breakfast at the crack of dawn so we could get fed before an early flight, they found cardboard boxes to help us get our ceramics home in one piece, and gave us local advice. The garden was as nice as other people had said, and the room was good too. The shower was the only one of the four places we stayed on this trip that worked well. The hot water showed up in a reasonable amount of time, the temp stayed consistent and didn't switch chaotically back and forth from scalding to freezing, the shower head had decent flow, and the drain worked. (This shouldn't be so unusual). The location is good, a short walk from a nice pedestrian area with lots of activity, lots of comfortable benches to sit and people watch, ok restaurants, and loads of craft shops. We were a bit tired from the earlier parts of the trip, so it was nice to just wander and hang out. All in all, the place felt well cared for and well loved. I don't know if we will end up in Guadalajara again, but if we did, we would certainly consider coming back to this hotel.
Not much. It's always nice to have a small fridge and good coffee machine in the room, so I suppose that would be nice. The breakfasts were good, but the coffee was a bit weak. These are minimal, more like ways it could be better than anything actually wrong.

Verified reviewLocation is excellent, about 5 minutes from the center. The host, Luis his young son, Adrian and especially the dog, Kida were very welcoming and friendly. We stayed for two nights and Kida demanded long tummy rubs from me.
Room is very very basic and small without air conditioning. Fortunately, temperature outside was comfortable when we visited. Toilet is so small that it is difficult to close the door. Room feels even smaller due to too much clutter and unnecessary chairs. Breakfast is nothing to write home about. We spent two and half months in Mexico and it was our worst hotel. We selected it based on the reviews. Guess reviews can be misleading.

Verified reviewThis was a perfect small hotel for my short stay in Tlaquepaque! A family-run place in the center of a small park, it seemed. Rustic, but spotless (and without strong chemical smells!). My room was in the back, at the garden, so very quiet except for the lovely birdsong. The location was perfect, easy walking to everywhere. The breakfast was simple but nourishing. My hosts were lovely. As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe. Thank you!

Verified reviewWe really enjoyed our stay at Casa del Retono. Breakfast was freshly made eggs and always available with lots of coffee and fruit. Our room was very Mexican with a small bathroom and positioned off an inside courtyard. It was always cool even when the outside temperature was 29 degrees Celsius. The best part was the location which was only a few block off Indepencenia Street of Tlaquepaque. It was quiet even though close to the action.
No problems to note.

Verified reviewGreat , convenient pet friendly hotel near the Tlaquepaque Centro. The owner Luis and his family were very accommodating and made us feel right at home sharing their kitchen ( with a delicious breakfast included) , yard and pet dog. Rooms were small but efficient.
Hot water took a long time to heat up due to the size of the supply pipes. Parking was available but located 2 blocks away at a parking lot. Difficult to unload luggage at the entrance due to street traffic.

Verified reviewWe loved Casa del Retorño and our patrons Luis and Estle were kind and helpful, made our stay truly exceptional. The rooms were comfortable and clean, the garden beautiful, breakfast delicious. The whole place felt peaceful, a refugio from the bustle outside and very close walking distance to the town center and the Paseo.
Can't think of a thing.
