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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 stay at Selina amazing it exceeded my expectations. The room I occupied was the cylinder room which for me was a fun experience. The staff is very friendly and there are wonderful amenities inside the property to take advantage. I ate only once at Dobo which was dinner. The recommended dish was pollo asado and it was delicious. Selina is situated in a prime area, you can walk around Boquete and places are close.

United KingdomThe only thing was having to ask the restaurant bar staff to fill up water bottles felt a little out of place. A common water dispenser would have been good - there is one in the reception but it was often low or empty.
Really great hostel. Plenty of facilities, clean, excellent value for money. Great location too. Beds were clean and comfortable.

CanadaThe only thing I have to report the booking.com ad indicate there will have activities inside Selina hostal but it wasn’t the case because it was low season. It’s really important to make a correction in your publicity because it’s a misleading publicity. Take you to make the change for the futur clients !
It was a amazing place to stay because it was quiet and the bed was comfortable. I have my privacy even if I was in a shared bedroom. I could do my yoga practice everyday in a cozy place. The staff was kind and very attentional with my needs. I was able to speak English French and spanish with the staff !

CanadaThat they allow kids to stay there. But again, it’s a fancy place and has more of a hotel vibe so I get it.
Loved everything about his place! A fancy, luxury hostel! Great location as Boquete is just one Main Street. Super comfortable beds with luxurious thick soft duvets which was such a nice treat from just sheets in other hostels! Everything is nice and new. Staff are great - big shout out to Jordan! HE IS THE BEST! So helpful and friendly and has been working in tourism in Boquete for years so he is so knowledgeable of the area! Restaurant has the best tequila passion fruit sangria! So many places to chill on the property.

United StatesTheir cylinder pods, which I originally booked, have no circulation of air and it can get very humid. My second accommodation was better, but no AC, but there are fans. My particular room seemed to have some mold, also probably due to the humidity and air quality.
The facility has different types of accommodations, that can meet any budget and preferences. The place is serene as it has an actual creek running through it. Staff is full of local information to help with touring the area. The hotels restaurant Doba, makes dining easy and accessible. It is right in the heart of town.

United KingdomThe pod was perfect for a few nights. There was room to store your bags under the bed, and hanging space as well as a bedside table to have out everything that you needed. There were ample toilets and showers that were kept clean. The social space of the hostel is gorgeous too, with a river running through it. Appreciated the welcome drink, a lovely rum cocktail, and met some lovely people as a result too. The communal kitchen was great, well equipped with lots of fridge space. Would 100% stay here again if in Boquete.

DenmarkWas as expected small and camping style so expected this. A fan would have been very nice.
Stayed in a cylinder. As expected, very small and not much space for two people. Was clean and cozy though. Hot at night and no fan or A/C in the room, kept window and door open and night at the cost of a few mosquito bites. Bathroom was camping style, but fairly clean. Shower was great with good pressure and hot/cold water and shampoos. Garden very cozy with a river running through the place. Staff very friendly and the cutest hostel puppy. Restaurant was good also, make a 9$ breakfast. Walking distance to most things in Boquete.
