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.).

Netherlands- The hotel held some money on my card and when I arrived I expected to pay the difference (as it usually goes in other places). It also was not a damage deposit. However, I was told that I had to pay the full amount. I wanted to contact Booking.com's customer service to clarify the situation. While I was waiting for their reply (a couple of days), one of the receptionists kept asking me when I was going to pay and at one point she said to me that I was not paying because I didn't have money on my account. Very poor handlng of the situation and just outright rude. - Although the hotel was nice, it was still slightly too expensive for what it was.
- The hotel was very nice. We stayed in a King's Suite with Ocean View and the view was definitely worth it! The room size also pleasantly surprised and the room generally had everything you need. Also very clean. - Enrique was a very helpful and friendly receptionist that contributed to the general pleasant impression of the hotel. - The food as well as the restaurant staff were nice.

United StatesFood was so so at best. Lots of other restaurants near by offered better options and price.
Great location. We had the 3 bedroom suite which was very large and had an amazing veranda. Pool is nice and lounge chairs on dock to watch all the action. Austin was a great bartender at the pool bar.

United StatesThe king size bed in the master didn't seem as big like a kingsize bed. Creaked a bit when moving on the bed but it wasn't a huge issue just wanted to let the hotel know.
We booked the Penthouse Villa and it was bigger than we expected. Enjoyed the space so much. Our patio was huge. and we enjoyed being out there watching life.

United StatesThe waitress was not the best. We had 2 fluent Spanish speakers in my group (7 of us total) the waitress frustration was not hidden when she couldn’t communicate with us clearly. She gave very annoyed and so were we after she displayed her attitude and especially because it was issues receiving our food. I paid $2 and change for one slice of turkey which was an add on to our $9 breakfast. It should’ve been 2-3 slices for that price not just one. We had a male one morning & everything was smooth. The bar was great but could use two bartenders making drinks, I seen there was help but 1 bartender making drinks was not it especially the day the pool in open to the island.
The ambience of the restaurant, pool, rooms was great. The bed were comfortable and living spaces had everything. We stayed one night at the two bedroom suite and two in the penthouse. The two bedroom suite was called the birdhouse which isn’t stated on booking. I enjoyed that my family and I were picked up at the pool for our excursions. The bar was great, drinks were hand crafted each time! The check in was easy though I upgraded to the bigger penthouse. It was offered a free change but when double checked it was a charge. That was fine. The lady with the blonde hair was amazing,front desk. She was very helpful the entire stay and even when we checked out.

DenmarkEverything about the room was great. Some of the staff boys were really nice and helpfull, always smiling, whereas some other staff looked like they really had a bad day. Happy hour only on Mondays :(
Great hotel, nicely decorated and with nice location in the middle of town as well. Pool area was great with comfy sunbeds, not possible to jump in the ocean because of harbour area. Room was huge, bathroom as well. Robes, pool towels and very nice and large smartTV. Balcony with comfortable chairs. Food at the restaurant was great as well, although we only had breakfast and lunch here. Free water refils were fantastic.

Hong KongNo shades in the swimming area. Would be nice to have some sun umbrellas. Our ocean view suite was on the 2nd floor. Would be nice to be on a higher floor to clear the view of the restaurant's tin roof.
Service was top-notch. The Ocean view suite is very comfortable.

The hotel is very centrally located in Bocas town. The pool is nice for the hot days. The restaurant has great food and drinks. It is just a few minutes from the airport.

United KingdomThe Hotel is lovely. The room was spotless, the pool and bar were amazing, perfect for cooling down and relaxing after a day exploring. The staff at the hotel are extremely helpful with anything you need from booking trips to providing advice. We had booked 4 nights here but I was ill on the last night. The staff were amazing, we booked an extra night, they rearranged our transfer for us and made sure we could move straight from one room to the other (the one we had originally was booked) which I really appreciated. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Bocas.

Costa RicaBest location, couple of meters away from the boat station where you get dropped off. All popular restaurants and supermarkets are very close. One of the few hotels with a pool, it’s ocean front. If you take a tour you will be picked up and dropped off right at the hotel’s deck ( this was priceless ) in this way you don’t have to walk o carry your stuff around the island. The food was good and with average prices for bocas del toro. Staff, were all very cool and attentive, not a single bad experience with staff being rude or unresponsive. After this stay I don’t see myself booking other hotel while in bocas

United StatesThe wait staff on our first day, Sunday, was not well-trained. It took nearly two hours for all of us to eat lunch. Two of the four of us completed our meals before the third meal came, and the fourth never received theirs. It would have been understandable if the staff would have been nice about the mistake, but they were not. At least until the manager arrived to try to make it right. Monday morning, breakfast was the same. Two of us received our meals, while the other two did not. It appears theirs was given to another table. Otherwise, we loved this place!
Our ocean-front rooms were comfortable, clean, and well-appointed. We had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable and relaxing. The pool area was clean and spacious and the food was good.
