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.).

United StatesYou need a car/transportation to move around.
The entire place feels peaceful and comfortable. The staff make you feel like family even their dog come out greet you. It’s nice to be close to nature. It was nice to hear the birds singing and the monkeys doing their thing on the trees. I got to give them bananas for breakfast. The rooms are very clean and spacious. You are about 6 minutes drive to Xcaret Park and about 14 minutes to Playa Del Carmen. There is a restaurant walking distance for breakfast and dinner. Overall a great experience for me and my husband.

SpainThere is no breakfast in the location, although a bakery is 150 m away. You have to follow the instructions received from the owner, if arriving by car, not Google Maps. Trust me.
A small piece of Yucatan jungle, with separate apartments, a swimming pool, a neo-colonial main house (where the owners live). Monkeys in the trees accept bananas and it's so funny to see them eating. Iguanas, mosquitoes....well...you're in the jungle, right? Very comfortable apartments, clean and spacious. The gardener from Acapulco, Marco (I think), helped us a lot until the owner came.

NetherlandsIncredibly beautiful place! The room was very spacious, comfy and clean, with everything that we needed. The territory is very green with a clean pool and enough space to just sit there and relax in the shadow of the trees. It was a pleasure to meet the owner, who was very helpful and friendly. One of the evenings a couple of cute spider-monkeys with a baby came to the property. :)

United KingdomLeaving!
A fantastic place to stay if you’re visiting the parks the “X” parks. Xenses 4 minute walk, Xcaret 17minute walk. Location is in a the jungle. The properties garden is just stunning. Beautifully landscaped in a wild natural way. A swimming pool that has shallows/deep areas. Under water seats and two little waterfalls. The little bungalows hidden in the grounds are are immaculate secluded and very tastefully designed and decorated. Nothing has been done half hearted! Everything just worked here. When his little dogs bark…there’s some spider monkey about! Feeding them bananas was fun!Our host Glenn was charming, went out of his way to accommodate us, helped us with our luggage to the bus. Thank you so much!!! Travel to and from. We took a taxi from Playa de Carmen to this oasis. 400 Peso’s. (Could have done it cheaper) For onward travel it’s easy to bus back to Carmen. But we headed south to Bacalar. From Xcaret bus stop D where ADO will pick you up- to Tulum and then a second ADO bus to Bacalar . You must book the bus online as if there is no requirement to go into the Xcaret park they will bypass it! Easy to book direct on their website. But it gets buggy if you have the page translated by chrome or safari. Works perfectly if left in Spanish! Last bus to Tulum is 12:06 midday! Final thoughts. Massive thanks to the owner Glenn for letting us one of your bungalows and being so thoughtful and kind 🙏🙏🙏

SwedenThis was an absolutely magical experience from beginning to end! A very elegant private colonial style property surrounded by breathtakingly beautiful tropical gardens. With a softly curved pool bar seating and shade the atmosphere was wonderfully enchanting. The hospitality shown by the owner and staff was as kind and relaxed as it was professional, and each room was delightfully furnished. We wanted to stay forever!

CanadaWe liked everything, what we didn’t like was the price of the taxis
Hacienda Xcaret is like an oasis, it’s everything one would want from a dream home. The pictures on booking.com tell the beauty of the place. There are only 5 rooms, 2 downstairs and 3 separate structures in the park like garden. The owner and his family live upstairs. Guest can use all the amenities, kitchen, laundry room, swimming pool, lounge chairs etc. After 5 weeks of traveling we were tired of restaurant food so the ample kitchen was a big plus. There is a breakfast place next to Hacienda Xcaret which make delicious sourdough bread and a dinner place a few houses in the opposite direction. Xcenses park is within a 10 min. walking distance and Xcaret park 15 min. Ideally guest have a car but taxis are readily available or if you are adventurous enough you can walk to the highway (5min.) and hail down a combie like the locals do,(35 pesos) Hacienda Xcaret is approximately 10 min. South of Playa del Carmen.

United StatesI suggested the owners make a notebook with FAQs for each room instead of asking them a thousand questions but since they didn't seem to mind the questions then it's a minor issue.
Owners are American expat, and wife who are extremely helpful, generous, and chill. In case you are unfamiliar with a hacienda, the family and pets live on the premises. It is a quiet, relaxing botanical getaway from the crowds, bars, and noise which resorts in the area of Playa Del Carmen are known for. This may be a negative for some people but great for us. If driving, ask owner for directions and follow them exactly! Do not rely of map apps.

We really enjoyed the outdoor porch space with an added Maka . Full of tall palm trees and trees. We even got to see a iguana or could have been a lizard. We left extremely safe due to our security heating tours the Hacienda.

Gorgeous setting, stunning historical character, great host. Two minute walk to breakfast spot (offsite). Embedded in the jungle with monkeys & birds to enjoy. Great spot to while away a lazy afternoon/evening. Room in very good condition, bed comfortable, AC worked well.
