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 reviewLovely grounds and just a few minutes walk to the beach where we had a sunbed with umbrella. Small and shady swimming pool directly outside the room. Big room with AC and hammocks outside. Staff very friendly and helpful. It's a 10 minute walk along the beach to the centre, but there's lots of bars and restaurants along the way.
Wi-fi was patchy but we were aware this would be the case and it worked if you stood closer to reception. No breakfast included or possible on-site which for the price paid would have been nice to have had included.
Thank you James we hope to see you soon !!!

Verified review-We stayed for 10 nights at the beginning of April 2025, we were given a room upgrade due to the length of our stay. -The location of the hotel was almost perfect, basically right on the beach(small sandy road between the hotel and it's beachclub). Lots of restaurants within walking distance. -2 small pools at the hotel so you had a choice if one was busy(neither were busy during our entire stay). -Housekeeping brought a small cooler after our first night to keep our drinks cold. -Good value for money. -Very quiet. -Very clean and well maintained overall(beach club could use some upgrades however).
A couple of minor items. -The room had no fridge, I understand that this is not uncommon in small hotels in locations like this but even a small mini fridge would be great to keep drinks cool. -There is no seating around the pools unless you are in a room that is right beside the pool. If you are in an upstairs room you can't really sit around by the pool. -The condition of the loungers and umbrellas at the beach club was on the older and worn out side of things. We used the hotel beach club 2 days and then moved on to the NANA beach club 2 doors down that had much better seating and more selection of food and drinks. NANA was 600mxn pp consumption vs 500 for the hotel beachclub(maybe no minimum for hotel guests?) -The hotel seems to have Starlink internet but with minimal routers the wifi was poor in our room(but we didn't come to Isla Holbox to be connected, we came to disconnect and unwind so this was really a positive!)
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review of your stay with us. We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your 10-night stay in early April, and that the room upgrade, location, peaceful atmosphere, cleanliness, and overall value met your expectations. It’s great to know that small touches like the cooler from housekeeping made a positive difference! We also truly appreciate your constructive feedback. We understand how a mini fridge in the room and more seating around the pool could enhance comfort and convenience, and we’re actively looking into feasible improvements in those areas. Regarding the beach club, your comments about the loungers and umbrellas are well noted—we’re already reviewing plans to refresh that area so it better reflects the quality we aim to offer throughout the hotel. As for the WiFi, we’re glad it helped you disconnect and enjoy Holbox as it’s meant to be enjoyed! That said, we are exploring ways to improve connectivity, especially in rooms further from the routers, for those moments when being connected is important. It was a pleasure having you, and we hope to welcome you back soon with even more upgrades in place. Wishing you continued adventures and relaxation wherever you go! Warm regards,

Verified reviewStaff was really helpful! Any question we had - the team was always there to help! Also, the room was super clean every day. Basically, you will have have everything you need, even more for the good price. By the way, the balcony is great and the team can bring some food from the restaurant directly in there!
The rooms don’t have the fridge, so be prepared to buy the ice in the nearest shop. I think it’s done on purpose to make people buy the alcohol in the bar. Anyway, it’s not convenient at all.
Thank you for your visit and we hope to see you soon !!

Verified reviewEdwin is the nicest person ever! The room was nice, the bed was good, the AC was great, but the bathroom has 2 problems: The showerhead was not good, and the toilet got clogged several times even for peeing Other than that, the proximity to the hotels beach club was awesome! In my opinion,, it's the best location on the island as it's not too far from the center but also not in the center where there's too many people and the beach imo is less nice than Iguanas beach area. We would definitely come here again
Thank you for your visit Yuval !!! We hope to see you soon !!

Verified reviewRight on the beach. AMAZING staff, who gave us a free upgrade to a room just feet from the beach. Very clean, spacious rooms. The hammock in the room, facing the beach is a lovely touch. When I return to Holbox, I will be staying here again. Everything is fantastic !!!
A TV in the room would have been good, but that's my only fault. It's an AMAZING place.
Thank you Jordan !!! We hope to see you soon !!!

Restaurant prices were really high and over priced they added 15% tip on everything! I want to choose the tip myself!

Verified reviewWell located, close to the beach. You can enjoy the sunbeds freely and easily access the center. The room met our expectations : it was qualitative. There are a lot of breakfast places in Holbox so we didn’t test the hotels restaurant.

Verified reviewThe staff were polite and the rooms were cleaned well each day. Location was great for a short walk into Holbox Centre.
Very basic room and although listed as a sea view room, it was situated by the restaurant minimizing the view . The glass wasn’t tinted so people could easily see in and the music played throughout the day was loud. Also charged extra on arrival and when challenged staff claimed it was an additional 5% with conversion fees despite the booking saying all fees and charges were already included in price listed on the website.
Thank you for your visit Olivia, the rooms are like in the photos. We did not charge an extra fee, is the rate that you had.

Verified reviewLoved our stay in this hotel! Right on the beautiful beach with beach beds and towels provided as well as table service for beers/cocktails/food. Staff were really friendly and inviting too - also very helpful with organising taxis etc. The rooms themselves are simple but decorated really nicely - lovely lighting, great air con as well as ceiling fan. Showers were always hot too. Pools were both great and very clean too. Hotel is in the best part of the beach. Can’t fault this hotel!
Could have done with a couple more hangers in the room and the cocktails were a little expensive. Other than that I loved it all.

Verified reviewIt was ok. Nothing special.
There is not really a beachfront. The road divides the rooms from the beach. The rooms are very simple. Too many rules and conditions. There is extra charge for everything. Even if the towels gets dirty. No breakfast included.
Thank you for your visit Nico, we do not charge if you change the towels. We don´t have too many rules, you only sign the regulations at your chenk in !!!
