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.).

GermanyNothing.
The staff are exceptionally nice, and the owner is a really lovely man, who makes a wicked Margarita! The pool is a really lovely spot to relax and the ocean is a stone’s throw away. The bed was really comfy and the room was perfect for what we needed.

GermanyThe Taboga Palaca is a small owner-managed hotel from the nice Dave! In the evening he prepares delicious cocktails (try the margarita). He knows everything about the island and has valuable tips for you. From the pool you overlook the bay and see the ships waiting for the canal. We look forward to our next visit, thanks Dave!

United StatesI don't know if there were facemask available. I didn't ask and i had my own if i wanted to use it. I believe it is not required anymore to use a mask. The owner and help was more than what I specked. A very nice and friendly people at the hotel. The whole experience in the beautiful island was extraordinary.

United StatesWe combed through a lot of reviews before deciding to stay at the Taboga Palace, and I am so happy with the decision we made. From the moment we stepped off the ferry and into the hotel, we felt welcomed and at home. The owner, Dave, is an incredible host- we felt like family. He's cheery and kind, helped us up to our room, and even snagged us a room upgrade with an incredible view over the pool and looking out into the bay. (He also makes a mean margarita!). We woke up every morning feeling like we were in paradise. Our room was a great size, with a comfy bed, huge bathroom, and air conditioning. Our room also had a great balcony, which we enjoyed sitting on to watch the sun go down and relax after a day at the beach. Things were clean, with lovely little touches, like the snacks that were provided, towels for the gorgeous reflecting pool, and a rack on the balcony to dry our swim suits. The hotel was very peaceful, and I cannot stress how amazing the views were of the beach and bay. We hope to be back!

PolandSome might complain about lack of restaurant in the building, but actually there are many places to eat around (50m away), so no problem to find a meal Only small minus for price, as it's over average compared to neighbouring Panama City. But i guess still worth it for the experience
Best address to stay during trip to Taboga. The atmosphere of the place is special. That's thanks to great location, facing the sea, and great effort by the owner, who's super friendly and helpful. Loved the evening on terrace over the pool, with great sea view, and a drink
