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.).

GermanyThere was one night and morning without electricity and therefore without fan, water and wifi. Doublebeds were comfortable but pretty short and slim. Rooms are not sealed, Moskitos were no problem at all, but you hear and smell everything that's around. One night without any wind it was burned fish and oil from the common kitchen all night long.
Rooms were clean, shower with hot water, own balcony, fridge to share and also the view at breakfast (delicious) and nice staff :) only 5min to walk to Playa Bluff. You can buy a water gallon for 6$ (although the pump we got with it was horrible)

HungaryThe long walk to La piscina in the heat and water was way too choppy to enjoy and snorkel. Pity as everything else was fabulous.
Amazing place, location, sound of waves. The toucan visiting us was such a wonderful treat and experience. Food was great too, all home cooked. A real delight!

United StatesBeautiful, quiet property outside of town, with great food and helpful staff. The bungalow I had was right over the water, so it was pleasant to sleep to the sounds of the waves. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was lovely. It even had a kitchen to cook in. They also did a great job washing, drying and folding my laundry, and everything smelled so good!!

SlovakiaIn our room, just a bit of white repaint of the bathroom walls would “boost” the impression.
Away from dirty and messy Bocas del Torto, it truly is a place to relax. Watching the ocean, listening to all the sounds of nature (including the loud waves) was simply great. Not far from small secluded beaches after Playa Bluff. Healthy dinners prepared by the staff, friendly animals around. Simply, paradise. All this applies if you are a nature lover.

SpainFrom Bocas town it’s a bit further than we expected. It’s a 30min ride by taxi which is $15 (we were 3) one way. Also, no AC.
It’s super cool and the vibes are amazing. Food is really good and dishes are big!

PolandIt’s not a disadvantage but a suggestion: it would be nice if there were bicycles for guests either for rent or for free, to explore neighborhood or get to the town as it’s far and taxis are quite expensive.
Location is stunning, 2 minutes to the beach, beautiful views, super nice staff, cute pets, very good breakfast. It’s a place to completely relax and feel like it’s just you, sea and the jungle. We loved our stay there.

Czech RepublicThere is nothing we did not like
The location is just perfect! There is a real wildlife around- we have seen a sloth twice! Not to mention sweet tucán Rio who’s there like a pet! In love with all the animals leaving at the site ❤️ Facilities are great- we had an ocean view room- every day we got up with the sun - it was awesome In the hotel apart from great meals they offer (for a good price) , there is a kitchen with all the apliences to cook on your own. Hot water is in the shower, though with the tropical weather you hardly need it! There is a beach straight next to the hotel, so if you are in the “relax” mode you don’t even have to leave the property! The stuff is vey sweet and welcoming! They were always there for us and helped as much as they could! Really appreciate!

The nice unpopulated beach was a few steps away. We received a free upgrade to the Star room with a great view. Plenty of room for the three of us. Dinner was great and service was most pleasant. Relaxing stay.

BelgiumThere are insects in the room, but that is something you know when you stay in the jungle, so this is not even a negative point.
The view is magnificent. You can start a very beautiful walk to Bluff beach! You have a restaurant, you can do your laundry. We asked for an extra fan for the baby and we got it immediately!
