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.).

PanamaSome loud music at night, but that was the neighbors.
Honestly, for the price you can't beat this place. It has a great location, super nice beach area, a small kitchen you can use, and comfy room.

BelgiumI had some humidity issues in the beginning, but they were very responsive and did their best to resolve them asap & checked in with me the next day to see if all was alright. Overall, I am very happy with my stay. Should I return, I'll be staying here again.

Sweden-Extremly basic kitchen with very poor tools both for cocking and eating. -Constant noice from close traffic 24 7 -Text about facilities at booking, say 12 min walk from playa Huertas...That is not true! To reach any playa, first go to Portobelo and then find, book and pay a boat that maybe can take you there....
Sweet and helpful staff. Simple but clean room and the waterfront is nicely fixed with sand and a small cool pool. We felt very welcome!

PortugalThe mattress was old and thin, kind of weird and noisy. Cold water on the shower (not a huge problem in this heat)
Very simple room, but with all we needed. Great to have the ocean at the door. It's far from Instagram perfect :), but still very pleasant. The personal was extremely nice. Very good price, even considering that it's a basic room. We would stay again.

Friendly lady who runs the hostel. Waterfront views although not possible to swim. Rooms basic but everything you need.

PortugalIt’s all very basic and not very private. The walls between the rooms are thin, you here everything from the people next to you. I was lucky to have great contact with nice people… we had fun. Iris & Cynthia are really helpful with everything. Great place to swim, mattress & pillows could be better. Quiet at night…. except for the distant monkeys… they don’t sleep apparently 😎

ItalyThe shower faucet was missing so it wasn't quite easy to take a shower and for some time we had no water pressure.
Beautiful place just next to the sea but without being right next to the noise of town. You could see the sea right in from of you when opening your bedroom door. We had a private bathroom, basic furniture and hangers along with 2 chairs on the sand next to the sea. There is a little kitchen to make basic food which was highly welcomed. The staff is very friendly and helpful and you can pay by card.

MexicoLocation - too far from town. The room was extremely hot. I could not keep the door open because of the mosquitos. The fan inside the room was horrendously noisy so I couldn't sleep with it turned on. So I didn't sleep because the room was an oven of heat. No hot water. The kitchen was poorly equipped.
I liked the staff. She was very nice and very helpful.

PanamaThe mattress was that great, but it was ok for the price.
The staff was super friendly and attentive, especially Iris. She was always willing to make my stay the best and always gave me useful tips about the town and things to do in it with a contagious positive vibe. The back porch was incredible. It was 15-20 steps away from the seashore. They had a shared kitchen with everything you need to prepare your own meals if needed.

United StatesThere was no continental breakfast as advertised. The showers are powerful but cold, though it felt pretty good after a hot day. We were traveling by bus, and luckily there was another lodge nearby where we ate most of our meals. It was tough getting to town, and we ended up walking most of the time as taxis never stopped. The power went out in our room the first night, and without a fan, it was HOT. Luckily someone came late at night and moved us to the room next door, right as the power came back on in the other room! It was unclear what the options were for activities.
For the money, it's hard to beat. It is right on the water, though you wouldn't necessarily want to go swimming there. Basic amenities (bring your own soaps, etc.), but it met our needs for a couple nights.
