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.).

United StatesStandard room was rather small. No TV in the room. Mirrors were placed so high that they were virtually useless for a short guest. (My wife had to climb a set of stairs to use the mirror on a landing to check her appearance before heading out.) Only 1 chair in the room. Bathroom was tiny, with no hooks for hanging towels or garments.
Location was outstanding. Staff was warm, welcoming and attentive. Breakfast was outstanding. Decor was lovely.

Gorgeous decor in common areas; comfortable, nicely appointed rooms with lovely design & a very nice comfortable bed; excellent food & drinks at hotel restaurant and very kind, attentive staff.

United StatesThe breakfast is a set menu, and the options are great. However, on our last day, half of the menu was not available - which was a huge shame. The kitchen tried to accommodate by making something different from the available options (as we didn't like any) which was kind but it wasn't as good as it normally is.
We love boutique hotels and this hotel is exactly what we always look for - great attention to detail, wonderful staff and food. If we end up going back to Panama City, we would stay in this hotel again.

United StatesMy sister and myself had a fabulous time in Casco Viejo district and we loved everything about Amarla Botique. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with friendly and helpful staff who were more than willing to let us know about restaurants recommendations, activities, help arrange taxis and helped us plan our day. BIG thank you to Jorge and Augusto for being awesome host, and Doyle, Jenny, and Luis the waitstaff where the service was impeccable. The breakfast was amazing and included, but you need to have dinner there as well as it was one of our best meals in Panama City. The location is perfect and the vibe/style of the hotel is chic. The rooftop area was also great to view Panama City with a night cap. Thank you Amarla Staff for an exceptional stay, will stay here whenever we come back to Panama City. Cartagena Columbia is on my travel list and Amarla Boutique has a hotel there which I will book given how amazing our stay was here. Thank you!

NetherlandsNothing really!
The people of Amarla Boutique Hotel Casco Viejo go above and beyond for you! Nothing was too much to ask. It was super pretty and we loved hanging out on the rooftop; in the jacuzzi or just for a drink and enjoying the sunset. The beds were really really great and it all looked really clean and well taken care off. The hotel lays in the heart of old town so everywhere to explore. I would definitely and happily recommend this to my friends and family!

United StatesThe only thing I didn't love was the size of the room. We don't pack light ;) and it was hard to open 2 suitcases in the room. Everything else was amazing. Truly.
The staff at Amarla went above and beyond. Prior to travel they helped book cars and answered questions. We were welcomed with a rum drink-- such an amazing touch after a long day of travel. The restaurant was amazing. The hotel was BEAUTIFUL. I love that you could 'shop the room' with robes (which I bought 2 of!), shoes, etc- made especially for Amarla. They even packed us a breakfast to go in the morning because we had an early flight! Above and beyond.

We loved EVERYTHING about Amarla Boutique Hotel from checkin to checkout. The property itself is absolutely beautiful with the views on the rooftop to match it. The little touches throughout were an added bonus (checkin cocktails, cool towels). The staff are very kind and welcoming. The breakfast was one of the best I have ever had. I highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Panamá City.
