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 StatesWe had no TV for the first 3 days of our trip. I called the front desk over and over with no answer. I went to the front desk and no one was there a few times. When I finally spoke to someone they said it’s probably an issue with the entire condo and have me a number to IT. I called and they put in an order…. Never heard back from them. In the 3rd day I finally spoke with someone at the front desk and she called maintenance to come to our room. It was fixed within 30 minutes. This could have been taken care of on the first day but they didn’t seem to know what to do. Very frustrating!! We was on the 10th floor, which wasn’t horrible, but the VERY LONG elevator wait time was insane. Our doors got banged up in the car parking lot and was a nightmare to drive all the 10 floors to our reserved spot.
Our room was bigger than I expected with a great view of the ocean. We was walking distance to Walmart which came in very handy.

United StatesThe rental need some upgrading and new furniture for price. No one never came to show me how to work the digital washer and dryer. Need at least 3 extra trash bags in each room. Elevators need upgrading to accommodate the the hundreds of guest trying to move about the facility.
Loved the pool, room and beach. The space was adequate.

United StatesThe room was a disaster. NOT CLEAN. Ketchup on the wall, mold on the living room, bed area, & shower. AC filter was so dirt it wouldn't get cold. My husband had to remove the filter and clean it himself. Missing decor with exposed screw in wall. Sofa bed was so broken we had to put the cushion under it to not fall through. Wrist band washed off in the ocean and we were told it would be $10 for a new one.. No broom to sweep up sand. Only 2 towels for a 4 person room. Wasn't told about off-site park at $6/day. Had to wait 20+ minutes elevator. Refrigerator/freezer would cool drink. Toilet is loose from floor & doesn't like to flush. Towel bar was torn off the wall but bracket was left. Front desk staff was smug and short.
The location is walking distance to Walmart. Pool is absolutely gorgeous.

United StatesNeeded more people working check in. Only one person trying to check in many guests. Parking was terrible. Although every unit had an assigned parking place it was almost impossible to fit in our spot. Getting in and out of the parking garage was difficult and at time dangerous due to not enough room. Televisions in our room did not work when we first arrived and no one would answer the phone at the front desk so I had to walk down from the 10th floor to report it. They did get them working the next day but remotes didn’t work. Door to our unit had to be slammed for it to shut all the way. Some of the security personnel at the pool were not very kid friendly.
Location was decent, pool was nice, staff were friendly, view was very nice.

United StatesThe furniture and furnishings needs upgrading. The kitchen had some cookware but nothing adequate to cook for a family. The living room furniture was sparse and uncomfortable. The carpet in bedrooms stained. Bathroom fixture need upgrading. Lighting in master bedroom terrible.
Loved being walking distance to enough attractions to stay busy. The size of the rooms was also a pleasant surprise.

United StatesThe elevators are awful. You wait very long and most of the time they are full when they finally get to you! One of the security guards was very rude but others were great! The parking is a joke! The parking deck is very compact and we were supposed to have 2 reserved spots but only 1 had our number and the other you have to park in a yellow spot which are very hard to find empty!
The property and condos are beautiful and very large.

United StatesTwo of the elevators were broken down the entire time we were there. The wait for an elevator was up to 1 he 15 mins. No choice though when on the 23rd floor. The dryer ran, but didn’t heat. The unit was not clean when we got there, only the sheets were changed as far as I could tell. Hair on the bathtub wall. Quiet time was supposed to be between 10 pm - 5 am - this was not enforced. Location sucked. Only good thing was we could walk next door to Pineapple Willy’s to eat. This was our 1st and last time to stay at this place.
The bed was comfortable. The kitchen was adequate.

United StatesThis trip was a disaster. We reached out most of everyday to update the (frontdesk@shoresofpanama.com ) on the ever growing list of things wrong with unit 227. The only items addressed were the kitchen leak and utensils, both fixed and provided respectively at the end of our second day. This unit is a disaster and an extremely poor reflection and representation of the Shores of Panama. 1. First and foremost the unit shown on Booking.com was not in anyway what we received. The appliances were old and not stainless steel plus the view was not of the gulf, it was of trees. 2. The kitchen sink leaked water all over the counter and we could not use the sink for two days. At the end of the second day around 7:00 pm maintenance replaced the faucet and handles to turn water off/on completely. 3. When we checked in there were two spoons and maybe 3 knifes and forks. It took two days for them to bring us cutlery for our family of 4. 4. The bed was way too firm. Honestly it was the hardest bed I've ever slept on and squeaked when sitting down or getting into bed. 5. The ice maker and water dispenser do not work. 6. The microwave was/is cracked all over the place- is that even safe? 7. Carpet is stained, torn, and worn through - we have a baby and cannot have her on this carpet. 8. The washing machine doesn’t progress through the washing cycle. Our clothes came out of the dryer discolored. Our clothes were ruined. The dryer didn't dry clothes either. The dryer had no filter. We are highly experienced at washers and dryers and brought our pods from home. Again, neither worked and ruined our clothes. 9. The remote in the bedroom did not turn the tv on and does not control the volume. There’s no remote in the bedroom to tv off/on or control the volume. 10. We could not use the disposal and nothing was ever done to fix it. The face your maintenance guy made when he tuned it was priceless. Booking.com and Shores of Panama are not impressive.
