Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

CanadaThe hostel should have a bigger sign out front, we walked back and forth 2-3 times without seeing it, the sign was too small.
It was a place to call home, and meet other travallers. It's rustic, it's a hostel - for the price it was very good, I would stay there again.

United KingdomTwo really easy fixes: first and most important, wifi was extremely weak in the room to the point of not working - since this was the only air con space this was an issue and the reason I ended up not extending my stay. Second, no light inside the capsules
People running the hostel are amazing, cleaner was top notch, location is very good and safe. The capsules had more space than expected and the breakfast was a lovely plus (pancakes, eggs and fresh fruit salad with papaya - no bread though)

I have stayed here a week, and have extended for another week. The hostess Maria is gracious and helpful. The cleaning staff is excellent. The location is very good and safe in San Francisco area of Panama City only a short walk to a supermarket. The air conditioning is very good. I highly recommend this hostal for a short or extended visit.

CanadaThe showers were very small. First night no pressure at all. After that pressure was no longer an issue. No hot water...ever..anywhere. Common area was also small. Outdoor patio could use some new tables and chairs. Loud music from outdoor rest. till late.
The staff here was awesome! Very helpful and accommodating! They definately made up for any faults. Great kitchen, 2 nice stoves, large fridge. Felt very safe to walk at night, lots of choices of restaurants nearby..

United StatesWe were happy with breakfast but would like to suggest alternating scrambled/fried eggs as well as pancakes/bread. Just for variety specially for stays longer than 3 days.
Juliana and Nelson were a hospitable and welcoming team. We appreciated their friendliness and helpfulness. Nelson assisted us with our luggage and booked our transfer to the airport. He was a pleasant presence throughout our stay.

GermanyThe shower from the room was quite small, but there was another one. The communication with the hostel was difficult, as there was no reaction to the messages.
The dorm with shared cabins is a really good choice for people traveling alone. It was clean and at least with more privicy.

PanamaOur only issue is that our room had a window onto the terrace, which increased noise and light into the room (the light blocker blinds helped).
Excellent location. Very helpful staff. Clean facility. Very good breakfast. Nice terrace to sit and enjoy the evening. Very good value. Really, for the price it is unbeatable

SwitzerlandI missed a good table and chair to be confortable while eating or working. I stayed in Room 4, a private room, which was very noisy because it is in front of the reception.
It‘s a small hostel. Probably the main reason why it‘s mostly quite. The staff is helpful and kind. Breakfast is just amazing!

United StatesEverything was as expected. Great value for your money!!
I enjoyed my stay at Eden's Garden. Very friendly staff. Very inexpensive for the area and super comfy private room with its own bathroom, a giant TV with a gazillion channels, and a full size fridge inside the room (not sure if all rooms come with a fridge). Super close to restaurants and convenient stores. You can walk a few blocks to multiple bars, restaurants and entertainment. If you like sushi, this hostel is very close to Guru restaurant, by far the best restaurant I tried in Panama, with reasonable prices and excellent food. There is also a mall nearby where I went to a movie my last day in Panama to escape the heat. There are also 2 super markets close by which make it and ideal place. Everything you may need is a short walk away!

United StatesWonderful hostel overall. extremely tidy - probably one of the cleanest hostels I have ever stayed in; staff are virtually always cleaning. in addition, the staff are very friendly and helpful (Google translate might help with the language barrier). they pay so much attention to detail - every towel is folded perfectly and even my laundry was folded impeccably. I love how the dorm room has private cubicles that are not too small and lock. particularly close to restaurants, markets, bars, etc. a filling breakfast included in the already inexpensive price. EXTREMELY impressed by this hostel and especially its attention to details. GRACIAS!
