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 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 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.).

PanamaRoom could be better, there were a lot of flies in the room. The staff was hiding sometimes, you needed to search for them to get help. Small pool, prices are high and the weekend I went there wasn't that much of a night life in the hotel. Also it was such a long trip from Panama City, ugh. Also there were Poisonous Snakes in the sand one day!
Liked the vibe of the place, small little community with shops and restaurants. We had one of the best pizzas ever at the restaurant next door gatto negro.

SlovakiaDidn’t enjoy the noise from the all night party - I understand Selina is a party place but does it need to be crazy loud until 6 am ? - also does the speaker need to be pointed to the rooms? Can you consider pointed the. Toward the ocean or keeping the. In the yoga deck | Otherwise lovely place .. totally recommended

GermanyI stayed in a dorm. Room was fine but the bathroom could have been in better shape and more clean. The lock was broken and sometimes we got like locked into the bathroom. I didn’t like the vibe of other guests so much. Bit arrogant and not as welcoming as in other Selina’s I went to. If you like to party that’s the place to be during weekends.
Nice resort, right at the beach. Good for surfing! Reception staff was super friendly. Especially Anthony was very supportive and did a really good job solving an issue I had.

PanamaThey reaaaally didn’t clean the rooms that much. The bathroom stayed full of sand and water for all days of my stay. Also the bathroom rug was nasty and it didn’t get changed either.
The area where it is at is perfect, the access to the beach and other places by walking distance from the beach.

NetherlandsThis particular room was way to low for me to walk around in. It was not more than a bed in an 'old attic'. The new building however has excellent rooms.
Beautiful location right at the beach, nice bar/restaurant with good food, seats in the sand and yoga deck. Personell at both reception and bar/restaurant are helpful and nice.

ColombiaIt’s a party hotel- if you like loud music, people partying (and maybe bringing the party to their rooms) this is the place for you.
The room (private room) was very comfortable. Good location: close to the beach, restaurants, surf places
