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.).

The location of the lodge is absolutely amazing, especially considering the view (also from the pool) over the whole island. We got served some lovely breakfast with homemade buns, jam, eggs and some fresh fruit. We were treated very kind and all our special requests were dealt with no problems.

VietnamI didn't like that the only way to process transaction was at the restaurant they own down the street, BUT they do offer a discount on the amazing food too!
The view was incredible and the location was really convenient. I did not end up needing a taxi at all because it was about a 6 minute walk to the pier, there is a big hill to walk up though. Great spot with hammocks and a pool and the owner Hiddo gave me a nice deal for adding an extra night!

Panamait’s not something I didn’t like, just be aware that it is located at the top of a hill and it can be tricky to get there if you don’t get a taxi or you are not used to exercise.
other than the beautiful location, the bed was more the comfy and my dog was very welcome! make sure to order the breakfast with a bread that looks like a muffin, delicious!!!

United StatesLoved this charming lodge, on the hillside overlooking the ocean, with the jungle right out the back door. Excellent location for birdwatching (right from my balcony!) and a great starting point for hiking trails. Staff was super helpful with giving me directions and suggestions. I saw countless bird species, poison dart frogs, and four species of butterflies. Cheap and satisfying breakfast with homemade biscuits and jam, and for dinner I had their amazing homemade pizza. The lodge recycles (apparently Taboga started a recycling program not long ago and this is much needed in Panamá). and composts kitchen scraps. My suite was well appointed and clean, with a nice view of the ocean from my deck, and I appreciated the original paintings on the walls. There’s a cute plunge pool and ranchito with hammocks on the property. I’m already planning a return trip!

PanamaI liked the breakfast, but I would have liked it better if it was included in the price for the stay. We were charged 8$ for scrambled eggs, home made bread (which was delicious), some fruit and a small cup of coffee. We also experienced a setback in the bathroom, right in the middle of my business, the water tank stopped filing and I had to use a bucket to help it fill and be able to flush it down.
I liked the view from Cerrito Tropical, you can see the boats waiting to go into the canal. I also liked that the place is located in a corner, with lots of trees and forrest behind the property, which makes it a peaceful place for relaxing, reading, sleeping in the hamocs and just chil.

PanamaThe location isn't the best, it's on a steep hill. Once you're there you really don't feel like going back down the hill to go somewhere else for food or anything else, so we ended up buying pizza from the owner. Food was delicious but a bit pricey.
The place is beautiful, the staff is attentive. Although the pool is smaller than it looks online, we were able to enjoy it since only 2 more people used it at the same time. It's still a great value because the beach was crowded and dirty, so it was nice to be able to enjoy the pool instead. I got the biggest room and it was too big for us, but that was my fault for choosing the first available room, it was super comfy, nice balcony with hammocks.

This was our third time to Cerrito Tropical. We´ve tried the room and two different size apartments. All have been great! The plunge pool was a great addition and a nice place to hang out. The pizza service was especially to my friends liking. The pizzas were good. The owners and staff are exellent. The walk to the Cerrito Tropiccal has an quite steep hill to climb at the end. This maybe difficult to some. There is a taxi service for 1,50$/pp available. So the climb could be avoided. Will be staying here, when going to Taboga for the next time.

United StatesWe loved this hotel! It was the last stop of our 10 day visit to Panama. Our hosts, Cynthia and Hiddo were very helpful. We upgraded to the suite and had a wonderful view of the bay. The plunge pool was very refreshing. We had Cynthia's awesome pizza one night, delish! Cold drinks were offered to us as soon as we checked in. Hiddo prepared a lovely breakfast for us on our last day. I highly recommend the Cerrito Tropical Eco Lodge.
