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.).

IsraelThere was a slight musty smell in the room. I know it is humid in Panama City. But hotel should check into this.
Bed was great! So was the breakfast. What a lush buffet. Staff could not help enough. I enjoyed a wonderful "Bristol" massage at their spa. Loved the Adama (gourmet) restaurant (that happens to be Kosher) literally two minute walk from hotel.

The hotel staff is wonderful. They arranged transportation from and to the airport as well as assisting us with restaurant reservations. Our rooms were very comfortable. The breakfast that was included with our room was amazing. The hotel restaurant also has an excellent dinner service. We would highly recommend staying at the Bristol Panamá.

United StatesPerhaps hotel could arrange to have a water dispenser with lemon or other fruit for flavoring place near entrance so that guests walking in from heat can refresh themselves prior to heading to their room.
Staff was very helpful - just great. Breakfast was excellent. No issues drinking water from tap (big plus).

ItalyAt times the front desk was a bit understaffed. The nice bar on the ground floor, which serves excellent Martini cocktails, unfortunately was closed on Sundays, and in the evenings is open only until 10:30pm.
The Bristol Panama provides with a classy accommodation in the heart of Panama City financial district. Both the Tocumen international airport and the Casco Viejo are a short taxi ride away. Staff are very kind and efficient. Ms Norka Rojas, Guest Relations manager, was particularly nice and efficient. Rooms are large and comfortable.

GermanyMy room in the 7th floor didn't have the best view, but I didn't book it for looking out of the window all day long. So, the answer is: There was nothing I didn't like.
Staff super friendly and attentive, breakfast delicious, 300 meters to Metro Estación Iglesia del Carmen, valet car parking without additional costs, Sixt Rent-a-car 150 meters just around the corner, Coffee Max (Obarrio) which became my favorite location for some snacks and drinks in the evening at the same distance, and the area totally safe.

Hotel, staff, rooms everything was amazing! Everybody was so kind and helpful! Shout out to everybody at the reception and at the entrance, you made us feel like home! I hope Bristol Management knows what an amazing team and staff they have, we will definitely come back because everyone made us feel special and like family there. Go book this hotel to stay in Panama, we were very happy to stay at Bristol rather than somewhere in Casco Viejo. 10/10

This property was amazing. From the moment of check in to all the way to check out, the staff was friendly and helpful and the amenities were top notch. The buffet breakfast is excellent and the location is unbeatable - right in the middle of Panama City, with two blocks to the Cinta Costera and a short drive to Casco Viejo. We're definitely going to stay here again next time we come back to Panama.

Argentinathe only thing I would add is USB chargers in the room for international travelers.
New furniture, new sheets, clean carpets and homemade food with restaurante quality. They take very serious when it comes to provide good services. Hosts helped with every detail. I booked only 5 nights but I decides to stay longer. I would definitely come back, I stayed in other hotels in the region but this is 100% the best option for a reasonable price.
