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.).

CanadaThe air conditioning could be stronger. There isn’t clear signage to the property that we saw on the road into town, nor when you get closer by the beach, so be sure to get detailed instructions from Francesca. We liked the remote feel of the property and had a car to access it but it was very quiet during the week when we were there.
Cute little bungalows with a comfortable bed a 5 min walk from an amazing beach. We saw lots of wildlife on our early morning walks and the flowers on the property attracted many hummingbirds. Generous breakfast of eggs, toast, yogurt, muesli, fruit and coffee delivered to your patio in the morning, included in the price. Dinner and a variety of beverages available for a reasonable extra fee (the tuna was fantastic). A communal fridge is available to guests which is nice. Fatima was lovely as was our host, Francesca.

CanadaThe only drawback is that the villa is far from any accommodation. A taxi is required for any shopping or restaurant.
Ur hostess was very accommodating. She prepared very good meals. The rooms are close to the beach. The beach is absolutely amazing with clean warm water.

United StatesThis little oasis is just off a dirt road with a two minute walk to the beach. We loved our casita. It was private, clean and comfortable. We spent much of our days exploring the beach, swimming in the ocean, and reading in the hammocks on the veranda. Our hosts were helpful in providing information on local places to explore. For a small fee they’ll do your laundry, which we greatly appreciated after traveling for several weeks. The meals offered were great! Wonderful assortment of fresh fruits accompanied by yogurt, eggs, toast, and sausages. The hosts do offer dinner at additional rates. Definitely plan on eating here during your stay. The best dining in the area! The dishes range from fresh seafood to tasty pastas, as the owners are Italian. We found our time here went far too quickly. We would definitely return to Le Villette.

United StatesAlthough everything at the B&B was clean and new there isn't a view of the ocean. It's not far away... there is a walking path to the ocean but not really anywhere to sit once you are there. Still the price of the lodging was quite reasonable and as we were sitting in the sun with coffee in the morning listening to the birds, it was very relaxing.
Breakfast was great! It was a typical Panamanian breakfast with fresh fruit, yogurt, toast, and eggs. The casita was exceptionally clean and bright. Massimiliano was friendly and helpful. The directions to the B&B were helpful.

United StatesKnowing how to get there from the bus stop.
This place and the town of Las Lajas seems to be in the middle of nowhere. But after getting there I felt like I had discovered a real gem. Great beach...you'll have it almost to yourself. Incredible sunset. Wonderful hosts who are excellent cooks. I had piece of seared sesame crusted tuna that would have cost me $35‐$40 back home in Louisville, KY. Here it was $18. I arrived by bus to Las Lajas and taxied to the Inn. If you arrive this way contact the hotel for the taxi driver's phone number so he can pick you up at the bus stop. One suggestion would be for the hosts to provide the taxi service's info somewhere in their listing or in the email you get after booking the reservation. The hostess is easy on the eyes as well. The couple has made a great little Inn.

United StatesHaving no car, I found it difficult to have all my needs met at this lovely hotel. This is absolutely not the fault of the hosts, but with mentioning to other travelers. There aren't any shopping or dining options within walking distance. There was a bit of construction happening during my stay, but that's a temporary situation.
Excellent host that speaks Italian, Spanish and English. Perfectly clean and private cabin with no shared walls with neighbors. It's a very short and easy walk to the beach.

United Kingdomwe don’t have a car, so need to take a taxi. But that's not necessarily a disadvantage. Perhaps it is because it is located in a relatively remote place that it has such a peaceful beach.
very clean room & beautiful garden. good breakfast. the hosts were very nice. they provided excellent dinner with very reasonable prices. the lobster was my favourite. beach is 1 minute walk from this hotel. Very beautiful and peaceful beach, few people come, so we can sit by the sea and enjoy it.

SwitzerlandVery close to the amazing las lajas beach (by foot about one minute). The property is located in a very quiet and peacful neighbourhood. It also has a beautiful garden and a nice terrace. Breakfast and dinner was very delicious and made with love (big thanks to Francesca and Massimiliano). The rooms are nicely furnished, extremly clean and in a very good condition. We felt at home from the beginning and extended our stay from two to four nights.

GermanyThe only detail that we noticed was that the cabins were a bit farther away from the rest of Las Lajas beach town, which meant that getting food from other vendors required a bit of a walk, but still everything was walking distance.
The hosts are very nice. It gives the cabins a more homey type of feel. The breakfast included was incredible and you also have the option for a small additional fee of taking dinner with them, where they make homemade Italian food for you. This was really tasty. The cabin was really nice and we had good WiFi so close to the beach.

The room was very comfortable, clean, dry (!!) and with lots of space for all our luggage. Definately one of the best apartements we had in Panama so far. The hosts are from Italy, extremely friendly and open and served awesome food (try the Lasagne ;)), drinks (try the Aperol ;)) and coffee. The house/garden is very nice and only a few meters away from the beach. Las Lajas is a small, very quiet village and B&B Le Villette is a great place for 2 or 3 nights.
