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 StatesStaff is short-staffed in the Coba and Akumal buffet dining rooms. They work so hard and always behind in refilling buffet items because there are so many eaters and not enough people refilling the buffets.
The entire staff is excellent, the buffets have a wide range of Mexican and International food choices. Breakfast is a huge variety of fresh fruits, veggies, eggs every style. Property is well maintained, and starting renovations- Nightly entertainment is excellent, Sports Bar has a dozen screens- and great bartenders. Karaoke night was fun. Origen stage show is professional, beautiful and a Monday night treat at the Tulum resort. I liked having 3 resorts in one- Coba, Akumal and Tulum- for beaches, and entertainment choices- good shuttle system

GermanyThe A/C was not working properly. There were many small bugs in the coffee cups. The drinks tasted a bit cheap. The food in “La Casita” was very bad.
The staff is amazing, super friendly. The rooms were big. Live music at night was really good.

United StatesAccomodations a bit outdated, could be better. All inclusive food had a lot of variety but not necessary quality, juices did not taste fresh. No elevators, that means hauling baggage up yourself when staying in the 2nd or 3rd floors, if you don't find staff nearby to help or don't have the time to wait for them to arrive (the resort is large and your room might be a good 15-20 min walk to the lobby area, although you can request a ride from the lobby to your building complex/room). Information about thematic restaurants and reservations should be more clear on website/app, or better yet, explained during checkin.
Excellent location, family oriented resort with water park. Close to the beach with daytime free transportation. Thematic restaurants are good but limited to one dinner every 2 nights stay and demand early reservation (more than 24h in advance, hence needs to be lucky if arriving for a short stay). Free 1h standup paddle or kayak per day, although dependent on weather. Good service, staff in general very friendly and helpful.

CanadaIt is frustrating and annoying that the "no saving chairs" policy is not enforced. Premium spaces sat empty in the shade for 3-4+ hours. People would go to the beach and save spots at both the pool and beach, for morning then afternoon. Chairs need to be cleared of towels, if not being used for more than 30 mins. There are enough chairs and shade, if people don't get greedy. The beach is extensive, but a little rocky in areas, however, there are some smaller bays, that were sandy and nice to swim in. Our room had a whirlpool bath, that needed you to step up into, and climb down and out, which was a little tricky, especially when the floor was wet. Not sure about all the rooms, but a walk in shower would have been better.
Great resort. Lots to do. Friendly staff. Extremely clean. We upgraded our bracelets when we got to the property to have access to all bars, pools, and buffets of all 4 resorts. It was worth the $18/day. Coba does have a beach, but it is a good 10 min walk from this resort, or you could catch the golf cart trains (which were plentiful). The grounds, lobby, and pools were beautiful, with lots of friendly guests. They had a great kids program.

CanadaQuite a ways from the Cancun airport, so fairly costly for transportation. A dedicated resort shuttle would have been nice to avoid confusion and aggressive taxi drivers. Re the airport, avoid buying food or drinks there as it's extremely, outrageously expensive.
Resort and staff was great. Excellent food available almost 24/7. Shuttle service to various areas of the resort was great. Ongoing entertainment if you wish to participate. No end to the booze if that's your thing but very little drunkenness evident.
