Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 StatesI don’t have WhatsAp so communication was a little hampered but we made it work.
The Casita is a separate cottage with views of the ocean and the jungle. The breakfasts were delicious and a lovely way to meet the other guests. We were also able to make simple meals for ourselves so didn’t need to go out to eat which was a big plus for us. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing which was just what we needed at the end of our Panamanian exploration.

United StatesI’d recommend having a car as it’s at the top of the hill and a hike to get to town.
It’s a beautiful setting at the top of a hill looking down to the bay. There’s always a good breeze and a quiet location for relaxing. Nice, warm Infinity pool with plenty of lounge chairs and towels.

CanadaWe found nothing to dislike.
The property is lovely with a stunning view. Facilities are very comfortable, and the owners are absolutely amazing. We visited about 5 years ago and loved it so much, we came back again. There are some great restaurants close by that are fabulous. Boat tours of the island beaches and mangroves were amazing. Road access has significantly improved since the last time we visited.

United StatesThe WiFi was having issues. They have Starlink, so I assume they will be able to resolve this. I smoke cigars, and you can't do this on their balcony. But as they explained to me, this is Panama regs thing, not something they can control.
You can see the photos of the grounds on the website; it's beautiful as marketed. But I'd say the standout feature of this B&B is the helpfulness of the owners. Boca Chica is a very small area and honestly the market in-town never had anything I needed (make sure you come prepared.) However, I was a somewhat difficult guest, needing a few miscellaneous things (i.e. aloe vera for a sunburn) and they were able to accommodate. Erika even volunteered a couple photos and sent them to me. Will definitely be coming back!

Lovely place on all fronts except the wifi isn’t good but I just used my cell phone data. The view is amazing! The cleanliness is top notch. The nature around the accommodation is a pure joy to see! It’s a short drive to the beach and to a few restaurants so you have all you need for an amazing stay! If you want snacks just pick some up at a supermarket in Boca Chica village on your way to the property. You will love it here!!!!

United StatesThere was nothing I did NOT like.
This is a superb little B&B with lovely hosts, excellent breakfast, and out-of-this-world location and everything else. The owners are truly taking care of their customers in all aspects without being imposing in any way. We had the Casita which was perfect for the three of us. We saw monkeys and other animals directly from the lodge. Truly recommendable for couples with or without kids.

Boca Chica Bay Lodge is probably one of the best accommodations we have experienced.We have travelled extensively throughout the world.The ambiance was beautiful.The view incredible.Wildlife can be spotted and followed from the balcony.. Rooms are pleasantly equipped and the breakfast a great start of the day. The hosts, Erika and Herbie are warm and personal. We came as strangers and left as friends.

GermanyThat we had to leave after three days...
Gorgeous view from the Lodge down into the bay - the hosts are more than friendly and helped us arranging trips for the day and made sure that everything was perfect! We went on a fishing tour on the recommendation of our hosts; we caught fish and our hosts were even able to arrange that a restaurant grilled our catch of the day for a few dollars. This place is just fantastic and gets even better as the hosts are kind, friendly and doing everything to make your stay a wonderful one! From the terrace you can listen to the wildlife, see apes chasing each other in the palm trees or just enjoy the sunrise or an ice cold drink :)
