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.).

FinlandSuper friendly and helpfull staff. Beautiful place with lovely plunge pool, a nice deck and hammocks for relaxing. The rooms were nice and clean. We stayed for a full week and enjoyed it very much. The breakfast was good. Staying at the Cerrito Tropical Eco Lodge felt like being at home (away from home). I hope I'll get the chance to visit again one day!

United StatesWe stayed here in 2018, a one night get away from Panama City. Fast forward to February 2024, and because we were going back to Panama City, we knew we had to go back to Isla Taboga and stay at Cerrito Tropical again. The room now has a refrigerator. Wasn't expecting that, but yay! And the room was a bit spiffier. I think it was the same room with some updates. Breakfast is delicious. I did use the plunge pool. Another yay! I fondly remember sitting out on the deck in 2018 and watching the rain. So we had to go out on the deck again in the evening, and just chill. Marvelous!

MexicoI enjoyed my stay there, but they call it an eco lodge so I was expecting it to be a bit more eco friendly - for example, instead of selling small individual plastic water bottles, they can charge to refill bottles from their garrafón. I also thought the price to value ratio wasn’t quite right.
Super relaxing, big room, comfy bed, nice patio to sit and relax on, nice staff.

United KingdomThe mirror is in a very inconvenient location for guys shaving. The lodge is at the top of a very steep climb. It was no problem for us but I can imagine it could be for some people.
I travel a lot and cannot think of anywhere where I’ve stayed where the staff were so friendly and engaging.

The staff was super helpful. Cynthia picked us up at the restaurant a couple times and Vicki gave us some tips. The view was great. It was very quiet. The plunge pool was refreshing.

PanamaFar from the beach and platform. But they have free cars - order if you are with children.
We have never experienced such a warm welcome in our lives! The child has allergies, so the breakfast was changed. They found a car for us for an excursion to the top of the mountain. We ordered a free car to the platform.

GermanyWe stayed 6nights in one of the top floor apartments. The owners are friendly and picked us up from the ferry dock. Vicky, who is running the place was just great (stay awesome ;)) try her pizza!! The room was clean and bug-free. Ac working fine. Only the wifi was slow and not that stable but I guess you have to deal with that on the whole island. Special advice for taboga in general: there are no supermarkets, the small stores are often out of anything (water, bread, etc) and charge double price compared to the city. Take everything you can with you on the ferry!

PanamaThey include vehicle but only when you arrive and when you leave so if you want to move you need to walk and its really high.
Only stay 2 nights and 3 days but everything was great! The lady that assist us was really sweet, she help us in everything we need. The men at the restaurante was really polite, he help us saving our luggage and offer his assistance. The only bad thing is a little bit far away from the beach but it include transport so it's not a big deal. This place includes: TV, Fast Wifi, hot shower, private badroom, air conditioner, transport, towells and little fridge. Keep in mind the view is not the best since it's with nature but really nice pool and confortable beds so doesn't boder me.

BelgiumMore can be done to reduce the big mountain of waste in Taboga. Every evening, food gets delivered from the restaurant to the Eco Lodge. Why not use reusable boxes instead of the plastic? Just an idea ;-)
Coming from the ferry, you can very easily leave your bagage at the restaurant. Nice place to sit outside, good food (and delicious hummus), walking distance to the beach and to some nice hikes.
