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 StatesPoor sunblocking curtain in kitchen. No microwave. No drip pan on frying griddle. Hot plate took forever to boil water. Overwhelming chemical smell under cabinets in kitchen. No dish soap. Limited towels for bath and kitchen, would be nice to have more than one of each for longer staying guests. Outdoor pool was slimy green. Payment method was confusing and key return both required extra unnecessary steps/effort. Should be clarified in advance. No stores or supplies nearby. Bring food, beverages, snacks, and personal hygeine items, other wants or desires. Taxi service is about $30 for 30 min drive into town.
The ocean. Spactacular sunsets.The view was great of ocean and fields with cows. Fresh fried fish and french fries at the beach restaurant. Cute apartment. Perfect for a single or couple. Bring your own food and supplies.

United StatesI enjoyed everything about the space, I have no complaints.
This place is right in front of the beach, the pool is a nice sized and not deep so kids can play safely. The room was a great size for a family of 3. We brought our own food, drink, etc. so we didn't need anything. That is key because there is not many restaurants nearby except the resort and no where to get food or snacks nearby. So bring your own. The view of the beach, sunsets, and stars from the balcony were wonderful. The kitchen had all the appliances you need to make a nice meal. The ACs run great, one in each bedroom cool the whole apartment. There is hot water in both of the showers and the kitchen sink. We went for my birthday and we had a blast.

United Kingdomthe property & host were perfect. the only thing is the area so leaving some advice for future traveler.... There are an incredible amount of Chitras (biting sand flies or midges), so it is advisable to follow the host’s instructions to close all windows and doors that don’t have screens., and to bring plenty of insect repellent. Otherwise, the place was really clean with no other unpleasant insects. You also need to ensure to bring enough drinking water.
On the beachfront with beautiful view from private balcony, the property is well equipped. The 2 bedrooms have good AC, hot showers, small kitchenette/lounge area with fan, balcony with comfortable seats and small table, and a washing machine. A sufficient amount of toiletries (soap, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion), cleaning products (dishwashing liquid, laundry liquid/powder) and towels (kitchen, pool, shower) were supplied for our 6 night stay. We didn’t have cleaning service during this time but may have enquired if we stayed longer. The wifi worked well, and the swimming pool well maintained & a good option for swimming as the Sea has huge surf and riptide. There were a couple brief power cuts, & the back up generator helped. We opted to walk 4 flights of stairs to not get caught inside the lift. Our host Samuel was a professional and courteous host & speaks English well. For $20 USD he picked us up from David bus terminal in his car, with a stop at the supermarket along the way as there are no shops or ATM near the building. The nearest local shop (with limited choice) is a mini bodega, a 15 min bicycle ride or 30 minute walk. It was super quiet during the week with barely anyone about aside from a handful of maintenance staff. By Sunday late afternoon the black sand beach was bustling with Panamanians. There are a total of 4 nearby restaurants which are open at staggered times. Las Olas resort very nearby is convenient for meals throughout the day with options to sit inside or out. Here we could pay by card. 3 other beach restaurants nearby serve a limited menu of local food. The main attraction in the area is the turtle sanctuary. There is a sign at the beach for@acotmar instagram alerts of turtle hatchings. The area has a small village feeling where everyone says hello. Some American expats living nearby gave us helpful tips which made our stay in La Barqueta memorable and reassured us its a safe place.

PanamaWater quality from the tap is discolored. Apparently this is an issue in the locale. Make sure to bring plenty of water for drinking, cooking, and maybe, washing your face.
You are on the beach. Quiet and safe. Walk over to the resort next door (Las Olas) to book excursions such as farm tour, bikes, etc.

FranceCooking facilities are basic, there was a mini oven which we decided not to use, however the plug in camping cooking rings proved adequate for our meals, so we still got on very well. It should be noted that we are possibly unusual guests in that we chose to cook for ourselves rather than eating out much, so other travellers might have quite a different experience. But having said that we would still have no issue visiting again.
The owner met us at the entrance and was very welcoming, showed us up to the apartment and introduced us to the features inside. He assured us we could contact him at any time during the stay if we had queries. he also checked in on us a couple of times by text, just to check we were getting on okay and we really appreciated this. When we had an issue with one air condition unit and a blown fuse, he was very quick to respond and send out an engineer to repair them both - we were very happy with that! We loved the sea view and the sound of the ocean, as well as the peaceful surroundings. The premises are very well maintained including the pool. We felt we had a lot of privacy.
