Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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):
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.
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...).

United States of AmericaIt met all of our expectations 😊
Jorge, our host was very helpful and hospitable. The boat ride to Playa Blanca was beautiful. The beach itself was nice and 3 friendly pups made our visit more enjoyable. The artist were working when we were there and their paintings, photographs and masks were beautiful. A unique place to stay in Portobelo.

PanamaRooms are on the snug side.
The Hotel is in the middle of town but very quiet despite that we went for carnivals, the staff is very friendly and the food at the restaurant is very tasty. Our room was very clean and comfortable but small, the views and the outside hammocks were great for relaxation.

United States of AmericaHard to find for us! We had a rental car and got lost a few times trying to access the road the hotel is on. We could see where the hotel was on the map, but the directions kept leading us there via narrow alleyways that were just walking paths.
Really lovely spot on the water. Quiet and peaceful. Breakfast was great.

United States of AmericaThe parking lot is maybe half a block from the property, which is understandable, but wasn't clearly communicated prior to arrival and added some stress navigating the tiny coastal town streets at dusk following instructions over the phone. Hot water didn't work for our first day, but Emily got with the maintenance staff and they had it fixed for our second and third days.
The room was very comfortable and the view is the best along the waterfront of the whole town. Breakfast is simple, but tasty. Most of the staff doesn't speak English, but all are friendly and will do their best to help. Emily was the main point of contact via WhatsApp prior to arrival and was very friendly and accommodating with discussing what we'd like to do/see and connecting us with local boats/guides. The hammock and attachment points on the private balcony/porch are a wonderful touch.
