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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

Very little. The apartment isn’t as sparkling and new as in the photos it is comfortable and clean and there is everything you need.
Literally one minute to the beach. There are beach chairs and umbrellas freely available. Our apartment had a lovely balcony with sea view which was great for morning coffee. The beds are really comfortable, which is very important to us, and there is air conditioning in all rooms. The kitchen is pretty well equipped so we were able to eat in a couple of times. It is about 10 minutes walk into the square either down the street or along the beach. There are lots of restaurants within a few minutes walk.

No complaints!
The property is nicely located just behind a nice stretch of beach, common areas are well maintained and pleasant, including the little pool. The apartments are functional and well kept. View form the ocean front apartments is amazing! In addition, the staff is super welcoming and helpful. There was a problem with AC in the apartment I’ve booked, they upgraded me to an ocean front unit. Definitely I’ll stay here again if I come back to Puerto Morelos!

We had a nice apartment but the sofa was not comfortable to sit on and a coffee table is needed. The bed was comfortable. We didn't cook anything but took advantage of the full size refrigerator, blender and coffee maker.
Puerto Morales is a lovely little town with everything we needed - nice restaurants nearby, grocery store and a nice beach. We used Vela's bikes to get around one afternoon. The little plunge pool was nice in the shade. Sandra and Alba were so helpful when we booked our tour through Vela's. They made sure we got to the correct place and fixed a problem with payment too.

We booked the ocean view apartment and loved having the view of the ocean. It took a couple of minutes to walk into the sea from the apartment which was situated in the middle of the swimming zone. We saw rays and a variety of other fish while snorkelling in this section of the Beach. Snorkelling tours leave from close to the apartment to the coral reef which you can see from the apartment. The prefect location and just a 10 minute walk to the centre of Puerto Morelos. The staff were very helpful and happy to book tours with a 15% discount offered.

Our couch was very uncomfortable and even slightly broken. And when the receptionists leave for the day, you don't have options for help. Other than those two issues, our stay was perfect! Indeed, when traveling to countries like Mexico, our family does not expect that all things will run like they do in the US. We are happy to be flexible with things like an uncomfortable couch and limited time frames for assistance.
This is a fantastic place to stay in Puerto Morelos! We had an ocean view for the week and it was fabulous! The beach was just steps away. The condo included enough kitchen utensils and appliances. The two showers helped so much with our family. The receptionists were very kind and helpful.
