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.).

Secure private villa ideally located on a mostly private black sand beach, pristine swimming pool surrounded by well maintained gardens, private balcony overlooking the ocean, community kitchen, availability of washer and dryer, and Jorge our host who personally cooked our morning breakfast, toured us around the area, was a wealth of information about Panama, and ultimately a friend!!

United StatesWe weren't expecting the bathroom to be separate from our room, but I may have not noticed that as I was quickly booking and it was only a quick stop. I think other rooms may have a connected bathroom.
Convenient stop on our way up the coast. The property is beautiful, especially in February with so many bougainvilleas in bloom. It's on a hill, so the view is amazing and it's a quick paved walk down to the beach. The owner is very friendly and helpful.

BelgiumThe only thing we didn't like was the fact that we had to leave! ;-)
Jorge was a fantastic host! He brewed fresh coffee for breakfast; every morning a different blend. He had tons of suggestions for restaurants, shopping, sightseeing, etc. He even supported us with our real estate search. His property was on an elevated level from the beach, providing beautiful views for sunrise, sunset, etc. Access to the beach. Nice size "sitting pool" allowing to cool down and read.

PanamaThe Host and Owner needs to be careful with the repetitive comments about Dog races (my wife didn't like the comments regarding Pit Bulls, as we have one Pit Bull)
The beach view is outstanding and the house garden and pool are in a perfect symphony.

CafeGourmet was incredible!!! Johnny, the owner, was so kind, accomodating, and went well above what was needed to make our stay so wonderful. The pictures of the villa on line only show a fraction of its beauty.....it is AMAZING!! Johnny cooked us a delicious breakfast every morning. We ate out on the veranda over looking the ocean ejoying his delicious coffee. He was the kindest host I have ever met. We are already planning a trip back!!!

IrelandI had the idea there would be some sort of food at the place because of the name "cafe gourmet..." . I think it's a bit confusing as this wasn't the case, instead people should do some grocery shopping before arriving as a kitchen to cook your own food is available.
The house is exactly as the pictures show- an amazing view of the horizon, you can see the sunrise out of your doorstep, well kept, clean. The host Jorge was friendly and helpful.

Very beautiful, clean and comfortable place. Very kind and attentive Host will make you feel like at your own home. Delicious breakfast is sreved in a very pretty setting of flower garden with the ocean view. If you need the Host will arrange a nice lunch from the local restaurant or prepare gourmet meal by himself. Amazing Corona beach can be easily accessed from the garden's terraces. The flower garden is as beautiful as on pictures. Nice pool is available to cool down on those hot days. The room with private bathroom are very spacious. The balcony is the place where you want to seat and watch the ocean every time of the day and night...as the views are spectacular with the rainbows or stars and moving boats'lights at night. Morning sunrise cannot be missed from the comfort of the room's balcony. We came only for couple days and stayed few nights longer. Did not want to leave. Will recommend CafeGourmetPtaCorona to everybody.
