Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score, we add up all the review scores and divide that total by the number of review scores we received. Guests can also give separate subscores in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free WiFi. Guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently – 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The restaurant was never open during the identified hours, and there was almost never someone there to assist with any problems that arose. The internet was not very strong based on what else was available on the island.
The owners of Caribbean View are a very sweet family, and the room was very clean with housekeeping coming every day.

There are occasional problems with water, if that happens just talk to Lucho…
Lucho is a great host. His sun Luiz took us with his boat to two tours, he’s a funny guy who prepared fish for us with coconut leaves on the beach (his fish was the best we had in Panama😋).

when we arrived, we were told that there were no rooms available even tho we showed our booking reservation. the guy was very unfriendly and didn't show any interest in finding an option to accommodate us. after some calls to booking costumer service, he showed up and said he had a better room to give us. why were we not given this option as soon as he realized he messed up? instead, we spent 2h with no room, calling booking back and forth. after this incident, our stay went more smoothly the island was having some water problems so we had to shower with plastic gallons of water
location, right in the center of old bank town 4/5 restaurants nearby great chill area with ocean view

Very cosy rooms with a nice common space with restaurant and great view. Rooms are being cleaned every day and there’s warm water on a bathroom. if you stay here, you must try delicious homemade food served in the restaurant downstairs. The best food in whole Panama!

Luis is really nice and very kind. He cooks really good too! The room is clean, the shower is hot and there is numerous hamoc where you can lay down.

The size of the washroom. Poor internet. Constant noise - some construction machines, tiles cutting. Lack of electricity. Practically every day there was no electricity for couple of hours. After first couple of nights I ended up with nasty and very itchy bites on my arms and lower legs. Beaches not really accessible after heavy rains.
The island.

Everyone was confused at check-in around 6 pm, and our room wasn’t ready. The front part of the hotel is not big construction area. Cleaning ladies always seemed to be in a bad mood, and they don’t knock the door before entering. The whole island has a sewage issue, meaning that most of the hotel’s water ends up in the ocean just below including water from washing machines. For a hotel this size, we’d expect a little more in terms of trying to recycle. Since we came at the end of dry season, we had to take bucket showers the first 3 nights and refill the toilet ourselves. Once the rain came, this was no longer an issue.
After not sleeping well the first night, we got a new and bigger room with a balcony. They did take this seriously. The hotel is located right in the middle of everything and close to the two stores on the island. You also get decent outdoor areas with waterfront views.

No restaurant, no kitchen, you can talk to your neighbours through the walls, the place is under constration that includes lots of noices. No water…. The price wasn’t the same as in Booking, had a long argue to get the right price. The room wasn’t ready and they offered us a dark room with two beds instead of a double.
Nice situated in the village with wiev over the sea.

nothing
such a nice place in a very lovely vibrant neighborhood. The local people are super nice, and it’s good to get away from all of the touristic places in Bocas. Supermarkets by walking distance and also some restaurants/bars and the beach. The family running the place are super helpful with everything and they make a delicious affordable breakfast. Would definitely recommend!
