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 KingdomI found the check in very strange as there wasn’t anyone there to see us in or show us anything about how the kitchen or property worked. Guests turned up one day and we felt responsible to show them around and how things worked, it felt very odd to be doing that. The location was far out of town, we didn’t mind as we stayed in most nights but if you wanted to go into town for dinner you have to catch a taxi.
We pretty much had the place to ourselves which was lovely. It’s a big property with loads of outdoor space to chill out in. The garden is beautiful and the cleaner would put out fruit from the trees for guests to have, nice touch. The cleaner was very nice & helpful, she also did our laundry for us. In general, the place was good value for money.

Ambience, responsive host, well equiped kitchen, clean toilet and common areas, close to a tiny local mini market but no alcohol. Supermarket more down the street does though. we could stay after check out to use the facilities

CanadaEDIT: previous review was for the wrong hostel. This hostel has lost of potential but need a little love. The furniture was extremely old and the lights were mostly just a light bulb by itself. The walls are thin and you can hear pretty much anything in the other rooms. Having said that, I would still go back because it is a great value for the money.
Our host was amazing! Super helpful and kind! The place has nice little common area perfect for chilling at night.

NetherlandsLocation is a little far from the hikes and tours, but for most tours they will pick you up and to get to Boquete by bus/taxi is like 0.50 to 1 or 2 dollars.
Cosy little hostel, feels more intimate. Host was very friendly and answered all of our questions. Enough planks for your things. Nice garden to hang out.

United KingdomThe facilities could have been a tad cleaner but nothing that would put us off staying again. The lock on our door was broken but Sammy was very apologetic and explained he was waiting on a maintenance man.
The host (Sammy) was amazingly helpful and organised discounted trips for us (like the volcano and the hot springs), and was just very friendly and made it a great experience.

South AfricaIt is quite a long distance from Boquete town, so if you like being in the hub, maybe find a place in Boquete. Having said that, it is easy to get a taxi into town. The hostel advertises that they can arrange transfer from David airport but when I asked about it, they were not eager to help and just pointed me to the regular taxi, which is not a problem but then I wish they wouldn’t advertise it.
It’s a nice, quaint little hostel. Very calm and peaceful. I like that they have small rooms and so you only share space with one other person.

The staff was very nice! The rooms have only two beds, so most of the times you can feel like being in a private room. The kitchen and common areas are very clean and comfortable. The bus / taxi to the village only costa like 1$. There is a very cheap place to eat next to the hostel.

NetherlandsThe bed is really old and made a lot of noise when you turned in the bed. We were welcomed by a boy and girl who slept in the reception room and apparently run the place. They did not give any information on what there is to do in Boquete or how to get to other places.
The hostel had a nice kitchen where you can cook all your meals. There is an amazing bakery down the road. It is not in the center of Boquete but you know this when you book the accommodation. The bathroom was really big and there was a warm shower.
