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.).

PanamaThe management did not handle well a minor fire in the building. It did not notify the ARBNB renters and when contacted they could not provide instructions on how to evacuate . This is a serious life safety issue.

United StatesMy only complaint is the ocean view is about 6' wide and yes you can walk to the beach but it isn't a beach you would want to go to
It was easy to get to and from....the shuttle for the canal tour picked us up and dropped us off...plenty of restaurants in the area at all levels of prices and the grocery store was well stocked and right out the back. Lot's of options for ride services

The Yoo Panama is in the perfect location to enjoy the best of Panama City. Whether you have an ocean facing unit or city skyline view, it’s breath taking. You have easy access to groceries behind the building and all of the top restaurants, Casco Viejo and the Cinta Costera are right outside or a short few-dollars Uber ride. The restaurants in the building are also excellent. Emely and her team do a great job managing everything.

Panamapoor reservation service. the contact with the reservation service super difficult and slow. also the person who has been in charge of that seems doesn’t have complete information about the reservation even after I have shared reservation code…too slow (hours to answer by chat and don’t answer the phone call) to provide the information and clarification about our questions. I clearly seen many opportunities to improve the quality of the service.

United StatesThe passage way to the hallway where our unit was located was unfinished making it kind of strange to pass through before arriving to our hallway.
The Yoo Panama condominiums are perfectly located in between the old town of Casco Viejo and the edge of the modern city on the other side (Punta Pacífica and San Francisco) giving access to the best of the city in minutes. Right out the back door are convenient eateries like Crepes and Waffles, BW3 and many more, not to mention the in house restaurants. The Yoo staff were all excellent. Personable, helpful and communicative at all times of the day. I had a flight delay which resulted in arrival at midnight and they were there to welcome us to the apartment.

United StatesThe apt needs a bit of an update. Blackout curtains are mildewed, rug in bedroom old and dirty blanket on bed stained (these should be replaced honestly). Other than that the apt was clean and had everything I needed.
Location was great. There was a problem with the AC on arrival. Emely was very responsive and had some techs come fix it the next day. Any questions I had Emely answered quickly, she is fantastic.

PanamaThe bed was pull-out sofa mattress quality which was a disconnect from an otherwise luxurious space. I felt the springs on my hips and back. More outlets are needed. I teleworked from the dining table instead of the desk because of outlets. USB ports would be a nice amenity.
Beautiful room. Magnificent city view. Hot water and two-zone A/C. Great balcony overlooking the city and the pool.

CanadaThe most disappointing thing is that the gas was off in the building which means I had to have cold showers everyday, the stove was not operational - which was my main reason for staying in a condo vs a hotel. The owners must have known the gas was out and still took the booking - they did offer a discount but I did not find out about this issue until the evening before I travelled. I didn't have time to find alternative options to stay. I learned from the folks in the building that it's been off for at least a month - long before February 20th when I arrived. To top it off the shower does not drain, the tiles are installed uneven causing a puddle in the middle of the shower which results in mold buildup from the constant moisture. I informed the owners, a maintenance person came and said he's going to fetch tools and never came back.
I like the location being in the core of the city. However I did not enjoy the noise of the highway. Not sure I would stay here if I was visiting for an extended stay.

PanamaVery disappointed w stay and lack of service to this return customer, payment taken without informing me of apartment supply issue then I was given apartment that less size and standard than I paid for. Poor service continued as I was left hanging trying to sort for 2 hours+ while others priorised, I was Expected to set-up alone in apartment that not prepped and had smelly aircon. William and Cesar try their best but No upgrade offered to sort although Yoo fault and no one onsite w authority to sort…I then had to leave 1N early as gas switched off for testing so no hot water, laundry etc and 2 weeks+ to get refund although I’m immediately out-of-pocket w top last minute hotel rate w changing places.
