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 StatesNot much I didn't like. The only small issue is because it's in the jungle, there are some bugs. But they have insect repellent everywhere on the property. (All organic andno harsh chemicals!) The gym is a bit small and can use more machines.
All the food are exceptional in flavors and experimentally, and best of all, they are all healthy food and primarily vegan! For example, I had sea bass 3 days straight but each time I had it, the flavors were different and were all amazing. The papaya bagel was also really fantastic, so creative! I can tell Pamaiia is really putting in a lot of effort in its plant forward dining. The sea and beach are also amazing: beautiful colors and gradient of the sea, so clear, the white sand beach is also very soft and wide. The whole property is super quiet, no loud chatting or party bumping music. Also, no plastic whatsoever on the property. From water bottles to straws, they are all biodegradable materials. I can tell it is really living up to its environmentally friendly mission. Truly a gem nested among the jungle and the sea!

United StatesFood is beautifully presented but not particularly flavorful, non-vegan options limited, tacos probably the best. Got a little tiring after a few days. And they really push you into specific restaurants and insist you reserve in advance because staffing seems limited, so not a lot of flexibility. Limited seating around the pool unless you have a swim-in room - most of the seating is around the (loud) kids' pool. I wish there was more information about tipping in advance, be sure to either bring some cash for tips OR remember staffer's names and you can tip them individually or as a group (ie housekeeping) with your credit card as you leave, a great option but you have to ask for it, they should tell you about this WHEN YOU CHECK IN. Ask for the form and use it as you go.
Lovely, quiet facilities, nice beach with a lot of seating, great (inclusive) classes/activities (yoga, breath work, guided meditation) done in beautiful outdoor spaces. Rooms are big and nice. Be sure to NOT book through the hotel website if you want the best price. The assigned 'guides' (via What'sApp) worked well.

United StatesIf you are looking for a spiritual wellness vacation. This is your spot! I'm plant based and the menu caters to those who live in a plant based lifestyle. Which is hard to find when vacationing. They do have meat option meals. This is a relaxation resort. If you want to party, this is not the place. It is expensive. Start saving...lollll.

United StatesCould have had more program - the yoga sessions etc got a bit crowded at times. We chose this place specifically for vegan food, and so it was a bit disappointing so many of the staff talked about eating animals, not being vegan, etc. with us. (But - all the vegan food was AMAZING, all the menus were AMAZING, plate size was perfect, loved all the different restaurants, and all staff were incredibly friendly and provided awesome service).
LOVED our stay. Amazing staff, amazing food, amazing facilities, WONDERFUL beach and jungle, wonderful locations for yoga and pranayama.

GermanyThe resort is supposed to be 5 Stars but the service is not consistently 5 stars - while the receptionists and the buggy drivers are absolutely awesome, the service at some of the restaurants is not where it shiuld be (esp Su Casa is extremely slow and random - eg needed 20min every morning to get water and coffee and get someone to order breakfast - it is a pity as the location is absolutely stunning). The food offering for non-vegan kids could be improved too. A more tangible concierge service should be offered sat 5 stars place. Also the awesome beach bar is underutilized esp in the evening.
The location and the set up is unquie; even though it is a resort, one has the feeling of remoteness somewhere in the jungle while having exquisite restaurants and bars in terms of design and scenery. The offering of yoga or various meditation classes is great and the food is super healthy / clean (though not always tasty), which we loved.

United StatesContinue to invest and improve on the classes/sessions offered. We enjoyed these classes and I don't want the hotel to lose sight that this is a very important aspect of our stay.
LOVE Palmaia - the experience was incredible! Enjoyed all the sessions (especially Pranyama and Yoga)! This is vegetarian HEAVEN and as someone who finds other all-inclusives mediocre when it comes to food for vegetarians, this really is the BEST - Food is DELICIOUS! Beach is beautiful and property is well maintained! Would definitely go back!

If we could give this property 100 rating we would. It was absolutely amazing!! We aren't vegetarian but could become one with the amazing vegetarian offer of PalmAiA! In particular the tacos truck!! But it was also great that they offered non veg alternatives. The location is amazing, the beach is perfect, the facilities are just incredible whilst preserving the natural landscape where they reside! The daily classes where spectacular, we loved each and every single one of them, and the locations in the middle of the jungle or at the beach were just magical. The staff were extremely friendly and always keen to help. And the manager was also so nice and approachable anywhere we met him! Honestly I would 1000% recommend, we left recharged, re-energised and with our tummies happy!

SwedenOnly one very minor thing: the bicycles were not functioning well and even without breaks. For such a perfect place, with luxurious standards this was a minus. To be honest it was better to not even have them there until you relate them.
Everything. Difficult to even give some constructive feedback. The whole complex is beautiful, food variety, quality and healthy/ taste balance is incredible, the staff is over prepared and kind. Beach bar was great, the coffe place. On top, this is a vegan paradise, but perfect if you simply want to eat healthy tasteful food. The concept of architected of life is great, but could include some other activities not so focused on healing e.g. the drawing was wonderful, the yoga too. Maybe some group training could the nice?

Czech RepublicI had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel! The food and drinks were exceptional – every meal was a culinary delight, and I appreciated the variety of vegan options available. It was so refreshing to see such attention to diverse dietary preferences. Amazing staff. The beach was stunning – beautifully maintained, clean, and perfect for relaxing or enjoying a peaceful stroll. The hotel itself is gorgeous, with a well-thought-out design and immaculate upkeep that made our stay even more enjoyable. While everything about the hotel exceeded my expectations, I would not recommend the spa services. I booked a manicure with gel polish, but unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. Spa staff damaged my nails, which was frustrating. However, this is not the hotel’s fault. I left the hotel feeling incredibly satisfied and can’t wait to return. It’s a place I would highly recommend to anyone seeking excellent service, delicious food, and a stunning location!
