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 reviewHotel Lunata is an awesome retreat in the bustling 5th Avenue area of Playa del Carmen. We continue to return and stay here because of the wonderful staff and the colorful and relaxing Mexican rooms. Michel, Niki, Ivan and Carlos (who wheeled our luggage to the bus station) are so friendly! The location is great and near our favorite restaurants. Because we come from the airport by bus (a great deal!) it's a short walk to the hotel. The staff is amazing and so helpful with luggage and questions in general. Love this place!
I sure wish they had an elevator as I get older and find it harder to go up and down the stairs! But the stairs are all Mexican tile and there are handrails, so it's a pretty climb! Other than the stairs, NO complaints at all.
Thank you for your detailed review! We’re so happy to hear that you continue choosing Hotel Lunata as your getaway in Playa del Carmen. It’s wonderful to know that our location, staff, and colorful, relaxing Mexican rooms continue to provide you with a pleasant stay. Michel, Niki, Iván, and Carlos will be thrilled to know that their service made an impact. We apologize for the inconvenience of the stairs. We appreciate your suggestion regarding an elevator and will definitely consider it to improve accessibility for all our guests. We would love to welcome you back in the future and make your next visit even better. Thank you for your kind words!

Verified reviewThe property is on the 5th avenue not far from the ADO bus station. Even though it’s on the 5th you can barely hear the noise on the street at night once you close the windows. The staff were extremely attentive and friendly. We booked 2 rooms and one of the rooms was facing the garden which is super quiet. You will forget that you’re on the 5th Ave when you are in the garden. It’s quite secluded. The bathroom looks better in person.
The breakfast is mid which isn’t an issue because there are restaurants everywhere and many open for breakfast. However, they should provide real butter instead of that awful margarine.
Thank you for your detailed review! We're glad to hear you enjoyed our location on 5th Avenue, and that despite the street noise, you were able to rest comfortably thanks to the room's insulation. We are pleased that you appreciated our staff's kindness and that the garden provided you with a peaceful environment to relax. We also appreciate your suggestion regarding the breakfast and the butter. We'll take it into account as we work to improve the guest experience. We look forward to hosting you again at Hotel Lunata

Verified reviewLoved it here. Spacious rooms, beds were so comfy and it's close to shopping, the beach and the ferries to Cozumel. I initially stayed in a room facing 5th avenue which I later realized was a bad idea because Im not a great sleeper and need quiet. Luckily the staff of Hotel Lunata had a cancellation and was able to move me to a garden-facing room which was so much quieter and I slept great. If they hadn't had a garden room available, they were willing to refund me if I wanted to move to another hotel which I appreciate. I'd stay here again, but only in a garden facing room . The rooms and the hotel truly are lovely, it's a very nice place to stay!
Nothing other than what I already mentioned!
Thank you Kristin for sharing your wonderful experience with us! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed our spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and convenient location close to shops, the beach, and the ferries to Cozumel. We appreciate your feedback about your initial room facing 5th Avenue.

Verified reviewHotel Lunata Our arrival in Cancun began with a different hotel that was truly disheartening; it was just too bad to commit to staying in. We went on Booking, and saw Hotel Lunata as an happy option, and decided to book it. We walked down 5th, found the hotel, and were greeted by a lovely entryway, and courtyard. We stepped up to reception, and were welcomed by Michelle, who is the absolute best representative a hotel could ever ask for. We were sweaty, hot, and were frazzled from the frustration of our other (disgusting) reserved hotel. She met us with charm, understanding, and calm. We explained what had happened, and asked if we could see the room, as we were now leery of all rooms in Cancun -LOL. We were pretty sure we were going to like it, as the courtyard to the hotel is wonderful. Well, we were NOT disappointed! The entire place has an old-world charm to it without being "old." Traditional settings, with comfort and ease at its heart. We booked the two-double-bed room called "Europa" (all the rooms in the hotel had names like this. "Bianca" or "Ophelia" as an example), and it was decorated in hacienda-style, but with modern comfort in mind. The air con was superb, as was the WiFi. It was also clean as can be. Our room was on the courtyard side, which was perfect, as you could walk in from the 5th avenue hustle and bustle (PLENTY of hustle), and not hear a thing. The double-sliders on the lovely balcony helped that quite a bit. We would imagine if you want more connection to the 5th Avenue vibe, booking a room on that side would be great, as you could stand on your balcony, and immerse yourself in the action a bit more. The beds are FIRM -which we both love, and the shower and bathroom were terrific. There is also a close-drying line in the shower, and soap and shampoo provided. The hotel has hot/cold water dispensers dotted around the grounds, and a lite breakfast served in the morning.
Honestly, nothing was bad about this place.
