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 StatesReally can't fault them on anything. It's a tad farther than a centrally located property, but the extra ten minutes in an Uber was absolutely worth it for the upsides of this property. It is very close to the airport, so that's helpful.
Outstanding property. Best pool in Panama City area. Staff is outstanding. They are incredibly kind and couldn't be more helpful. Food is solid. Breakfast selection is terrific. Poolside bar has great cocktails and lunch. It was also extremely clean, which was very appreciated.

GermanyLuxurious hotel with nice pool and next to golf course. We checked in 1st of January and were lucky to get a table at the New Year’s lunch buffet at 80 USD, which was absolutely amazing 🤩. The following day we played the golf course which is in good condition with interesting holes with water, lots of sand traps, etc. Rooms were big and nice, service was friendly and professional and the breakfast super good. We would love to return …

GermanyThe Spa in the basement smelled a bit humid but this is something with which we all struggle in Panamá. But the sauna and the massage and personal were very good. We visited the country club and played some tennis but the ladies at the reception were not very welcoming. We reserved two courts as we are a family of four, who played tennis seriously and when we arrived there, we were supposed to play only on one court because this was a “ country club” and doesnt bellow to the hotel and as guests of the hotel we are only allowed to book one and there was tennis training at 11:00 o’ clock, which was a lie. It seems like, we were begging to play there instead of paying for playing tennis. For our standards, the rackets were very old and the strings were done extremely wrong. If feels like playing with a fry pan and the water tanks on the court had insects inside. For people who played tennis seriously this is not a country club the worth visited or paying 56€ for old rackets and also old tennis balls ( yes also tennis balls get old, even when the van is not open) . We were actually testing this country club, to continue the tennis training of our son during our future stays in Panamá but it fails.
After two weeks round trip in Panamá, I decided to stay at the Santa Maria, and spend the last day on Panamá in a beautiful hotel. The Santa Maria fulfilled totally my expectations and the ones of my family. The hotel was very clean, the breakfast was wonderful and the food at Mestizo restaurant has a wonderful selection of Panamanian and international food. The personal is very polite and helpful. I dont understand many of the negative comments from others guests regarding the personal. They might be slow and not all of them can speak perfectly English but remember that you are in a Spanish speaking country and will be a good idea to learn Spanish too! I speak 4 languages and travels around the world and when I am in an new country, I try to speak the language… that is also part of traveling. The rooms are very spacious and the bathrooms is a dream. The hotel is located far from other attractions but you have close shopping malls, hospitals, cinemas, and sports centers. We will definitely come back and hope the standard and infrastructure of the hotel will be well maintained.
