Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do 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 or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Room was really warm as the ceiling fan was positioned incorrectly. It was warm enough to keep us awake, but we left the door open and it helped wonders. Shared bathroom is clean and has hot water. Staff is helpful and made us simple breakfast early at 4, as the tours usually depart early for Tikal. Do note that the staff sleeps outside at the reception area.

The hostel was really nice. The stuff was friendly. There was free drinking water and a well equipped kitchen. In the morning we got some toast with jam for free. The only weird thing was the shuttle price from Flores to Semuc Champey (325 Q)… only a few doors down the road we got a shuttle for 200 Q per person.

Only issue : the bedroom for 3 people on the 1st floor under the roof is WAY TOO HOT even with 2 fans. Had to take 3 cold showers through the night. Better book the ground floor's one.

They charge extra for storing your luggage before/after your stay.
Drinking water is available. It's not mentioned on booking, but there is a small breakfast included. It's toast with butter, jam or peanut butter, and you make them yourself. Very close to the two nice restaurants Cool Beans (lunch) and Maracuya (dinner/drinks).

The person working at the hostel was very warm and welcoming. There is an equipped kitchen. Unfortunately the room where we stayed on the ground floor did not have a window. There was zero air circulation. Moreover there was an opening in the wall directly to the bathroom belonging to the neighbouring apartment. So when in the night they forgot to switch of the light it was bright in our room. We had to wake them up to switch it off. Overall I would not recommend this place. One night is a maximum I guess one can decide to stay there.

Just to be aware that facilities are basic (which is reflected in the price), no one speaks English, room is just a bed with no lamps/bedside table, quite a noisy fan, we are happy as long as a place is clean and in a good location :)
Friendly staff, who can organise tours and onwards transport at the going rate. Lovely coffee prepared for you in the morning, even prior to the 4:30am start to see Tikal.

The shower was cold, it also shocked you when you touched the tap. The room was dingy and boiling, even with the fan on. WiFi wasn’t great either.
The location was good, close to shops and restaurants although the island is so small, everywhere is. Tikal tour was decent price.
