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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 StatesThe facilities need some updating and there was little to no selection for souvenirs or clothing to buy. The game boards had no game pieces
The beach and the pool were great! The food was very good. There was a good selection for the complimentary breakfast.

United StatesIf travelers do not have a rental car, this place can be remote. So do you research. I came off-season, and there were not a lot of people or things to do. This is exactly what I wanted. But if you want action, you will want to come in season, and have a rental car.
I booked this property for rest and relaxation, and it’s exactly what I got. The best thing about the property was the staff. Nivia, Calvin, Juan and all… everyone was very friendly and accommodating. They even arranged for a ride back to David because it is so remote and I did not have a rental car. The beach is very close room was comfortable, air conditioner worked, and water pressure in the shower was awesome. they also had food available (and it was delicious ) because the restaurant is on site.

PanamaOur 1st room had an Air conditioner that didn't work. Our 2nd room had a great Air conditioner but a TV that didn't work. We were informed the room's TV was out of order. That was OK with us since the TV only had local channels in spanish.
Restaurant food was very good. Service was great. It's an older resort directly on the beach. There's approx 9 miles of beautiful beach to walk. Take beach shoes. The beach has dark sand that's too hot for bare feet. The room had clean sheets & towels for showers. Take your own beach towels. You can take a cooler to your room but can't take you own food or drinks to the pool.

United KingdomBathroom a bit dated, plastic seating furniture in apartment lounge and sparsely decorated. Bedroom smelt strongly of damp. It was low season so many amenities closed and under maintainence eg second pool and outdoor bar closed and under repair, (but indoor bar open). Main pool not clean (leaves, dust floating on it), outdoor areas dishevelled or not attended to. Presumably it's better in high season. A little isolated, need car to get there or $16 Uber taxi from David, or $30 dollar hotel taxi to David.
Good wifi, good air con, clean, comfy bed, very helpful friendly staff. Manager helped me order airport taxi and sorted out any small issues quickly. Located next to beach, nice restaurant and lovely food, good waiter service, good, large shower. Microwave and fridge a real bonus. Was upgraded to one bedroom suite which was much appreciated. Very quiet. For the price I paid I enjoyed my stay.

United StatesThe outdoor furniture in the living area had no pads which made for uncomfortable sitting. The manager tried to help by bringing blankets to use for padding, but they were inadequate. The website listed a coffee pot in the room as an amenity, however there was none present. One was delivered to the suite after it was requested, unfortunately, coffee filters were not included so it was unusable.
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We rented a two bedroom suite, which was perfect for our needs. It was great to have that option! The restaurant was very nice and we were very happy with everything we ordered, except the holadres, which were basically inedible. Having two pools was great so that we could chase the shade!

this was, maybe, my 20th time staying here... as always the staff are freindly and considerate! The property is getting a bit dated.. but overall the rooms have been updated and are extremely comfortable! The food is pretty consistently good! We love the traquility and peacefulness of the resort!

United StatesPlace needs some updates, maintenance, and paint, as the salt air just eats away at everything. No other options available for food or supplies so if you aren’t already bringing it with you, you probably won’t be able to get it. Bedding could be better, however was adequate.
All rooms had an ocean view and a small porch with chairs and tables facing the ocean. Walls in between gave a sense of added privacy and seclusion. All doors were keyed with a combination deadbolt when locking door. Laundry services were very prompt and fairly priced. Food was ok, good ceviche. Not many people so it felt like you almost had the whole resort to yourself. Only 3 other couples were there at the time. 2 pools on property to soak in. Very large property and a seemingly endless beach with no trash visible on it. Do watch out for the very strong undertow as there are no lifeguards. Not alot of bugs besides a few gnats from time to time. Many people on staff had a fair working knowledge of English which was a boon for me. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Internet was about average for the area @ 5 mbps. Cheapest ocean front place I have probably ever stayed. Hotel is surrounded by tropical gardens and there are lots of birds. AC was nice and cold.

CanadaThey offered some spa services, but they were not considerate of my time. I asked for a time for a message and was given one a few days after I had requested. A few hours before my appointment I was rescheduled by the masseuse as they were not able to make our appointment. This happen a second time the next appointment so I just cancelled the service all together believing they were not really interested in my business.
The hotel was really close to the beach and the beach had beautiful sparkling black sand which was so soft to walk on. The pool was very nice to way in with two sides to the pool. One side was in the sun where the other was shaded by some trees so you could have the best of both if desired.
