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 StatesThe long dirt road that leads to the property was about a 3 minute drive from the main road, takes a while getting in and out of there. If you plan on staying there, definitely rent a car or you’ll spend a lot on taxis
The property had plenty of space to make you feel like you’re in nature away from everyone.

United KingdomReception staff could have been more helpful with bags and getting a replacement fan. The fans in the room are not great so can get hot. Okay on April but I imagine very hot in the summer.
Beautiful location in the forest with great gardens you can do a walking tour in. Very nice buildings and access to the lagoon. Good food in restaurant fairly priced.

United StatesWe liked everything about this stay! I wish we had more than 1 night there. The villa is located in pictures place between green rainforest trees and it has all the amenities we needed. The bathroom was inside our villa and there were mosquito net on the bed, that we rally appreciated. We did not know that it did not have conditioning and glass windows (it has the mosquito net and wooden windows instead) but it was okay for our family and our little one (15 month old) in the bedroom we had big fan that was good for keeping comfortable temp. The only thing I would recommend for host is to get some glass jars for guests in the room, for visitors definitely have a big water bottle, you would need it for this trip anyway to stay hydrated.

GermanyI didn't like that the water that comes out of the shower and the taps was salty. My hair was very very dry after my stay and my skin was breaking out. Also, there was no WiFi in our room. In the room was no fridge, which I think is necessary with those hot temperatures. Limited breakfast options, especially for vegetarians. We ordered the omelette and on the menu it said that it comes with a variety of vegetables and cheese and ham inside. We told them that we don't want ham inside and as a result we didn't have anything inside of the omelette.
The location was nice and sunrise we saw at the lagoon was amazing.The concept of the hotel was quite cool and we didn't have any windows so we constantly heard the sounds of nature (which was very very nice). The rooms were quite big.

GreeceWe wish we had stayed longer!
We loved our stay at Villas Ecotucan! The room was very spacious, clean and comfortable and the natural surroundings were beautiful. Perfect place to relax and disconnect (even on a very rainy day like the one of our stay). Dinner at the restaurant was a pleasant surprise, it was delish! Canoeing around the Bacalar lagoon was also a top experience; overall highly recommended!

AustraliaMinor point: if you don't have a car you'll need to take a taxi to town (200 pesos each way). But everything you need is close by - there are various hotels nearby with restaurants (when you're looking for lunch or for something else not served at the property).
If you're looking to relax and enjoy nature and the lagoon than this is perfect for you. The property is nestled in the jungle, set close to the Lagoon with easy access to it. The rooms are extremely spacious and thoughtfully designed. The breakfasts are delicious. And the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, running various activities - e.g. jungle and lake tour. The setup next to the lagoon is perfect - plenty of chairs, hammocks, and kayaks.

United KingdomAt the time of booking, we were not informed of the sunrise/sunset kayak. It was sent to us a few days prior to arrival. Upon replying with interest, they let us know it was fully booked for our entire stay which was disappointing. We ended booking the sunrise kayak via another vendor which involved a 20 min car ride into town which was less convenient. We were slightly unlucky with a family below us in the bungalow which meant we were unable to relax during the early evening as the kids were quite loud. Lastly, appreciate the hotel is eco friendly but the shower products could be improved to include separate shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Rather than all 3 in 1.
Super relaxing. Very friendly staff. Bungalows were cosy and perfect to unwind. We took the kayaks out on our own and had a great time. Breakfast was great, and beds very comfortable.

LuxembourgThe first night we arrived the receptionists were two girls who appeared to be volunteering at the place and didn't have accurate knowledge on almost anything we asked. We were a family of five and wanted to do a kayak tour. We asked how many free kayaks there are at the hotel and if we need to book them in advance. The ladies said that there is enough for everyone and no worries. To our biggest surprise where the next morning we wanted to go kayaking, there were only 3 kayaks all in all available for guests, and it was too late to book a private kayak tour for that day... Luckily, the lady who was covering the reception that day was very nice and understanding and managed to find two more kayak for us. The room was slightly dirty, felt like no one has used it for weeks before we arrived and there were animal poop here and there left from insects.
Good place to experience the jungle.

United KingdomNothing! It's perfect!!
This was my 3rd visit here - this shows how lovely the place is. Unspoilt natural beauty, both in the jungle and right on the lake. They have their own little deck right on the lagoon. Free kayaks to borrow or you can go on a guided tour. I recommend the jungle walk with Jacqueline - a tranquil way to start the day. The food from the restaurant was exceptional - not a huge menu which is great as everything is freshly prepared.The rooms / cabins are tastefully simple. This is my favourite place to stay in Mexico - in fact probably the whole world!!
