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.).

CanadaNothing to complain about, everything was good for a night's stay.
Excellent location, next to the main avenue with lots of restaurants, super close to the Ferry and Bus terminal for the Airport. We only stayed for one night as we were coming from Cozumel and had to be at the airport earlier on the next day.

CanadaThere were no bathroom footmat or extra towels provided. You had to go to the front desk and have it changed everyday. Which is inconvenient. The rooms look bigger in the photos than actual. The kitchen stoves take forever to start up and our grocery also went missing from the common fridge despite putting our name tag on it. The pool and the terrace area are nice but it definitely seemed like they could do a bit more to make it more interactive with the other people staying at the hostel. So much unused potential Honestly - for the price I paid - the facilities were sub-par. The bathroom did not have adequate hand wash, no shampoo conditioner and body wash. Also, for the water there is no service. You have to go downstairs and fill it up from the common area. The front desk guy said it's 10 pesos to fill up water if it's in a container and free by the glass. This was a weird policy. So, I was stressed getting water wondering if I exceeded my limit which hampered my stay experience. Turn on the shower a bit more and the water pressure will piece through your skin. The pillows were hard rocks and I had neck pain. And there were no blankets - so we slept under one thin cotton sheet at night.we requested for more pillows due to a medical need and they didn't have any. Next day, we got a decent blanket. So, I won't come back here again.. The staff is friendly and exceptionally helpful and kind. They always had answers to any of my questions and suggested places to visit, eat or find stuff.

NetherlandsIt was a very nice place, only negative thing would be they said the roof terrace closed at a certain time so people could sleep but then it didn’t… people were very loud until very late and our bedroom was right next to this.

South AfricaFridge was not well managed and it was difficult to fit things in. Other wise the kitchen was well equipped. Towels and bedding and room fittings were a little bit old and tired, but at the price it was what you expect.
The roof top bar was lovely and spacious. It was on the edge of the tourist zone so nice and quiet at night. Nice variety of back packing folks from around the world and Mexico.

CanadaThere were too many beds in a double room and no ventilation AC was functioning only after 8 pm. My bed was right beside the door and in front of the bathroom door, the bathroom was always busy and didn't look clean. I guess for the price you can't expect perfection.
The staff was friendly and helpful especially Lalo and Devin. I also like the fact that it was so near the beach, also it has a nice terrace, people go to smoke there and also a very small pool, you won't be able to swim on it.

HungaryOur room did not have a proper window, with only a small one facing the internal corridor, which we kept closed and sealed. This limited airflow, causing a slight odor inside. However, since our stay was short, it wasn’t a major issue for us.
We booked this place last minute to enjoy our final day in Playa del Carmen before heading home. It offers great value for the price and is ideal for a short stay. We loved the location and appreciated the warm welcome from the reception host, who was super friendly, cool, and even checked us in early. The rooftop terrace is cozy and features a small pool, adding to the charm.

ItalyThe swimming was pretty small and not really clean
The location is great, just 2 blocks from the ADO bus station and 2 blocks away from the stunning beach. The receptionist has been really nice and the room was very large and clean. It had 2 fans, the AC and even a deudimidificator that we really appreciate. The rooftop terrace is very pleasant.
