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 StatesI couldn’t say enough good things about this property as well as staff. I have never felt so close to home despite being so far away. Each member made us feel seen, important and valued. We left feeling like we made friends for a lifetime, if not family. For us it’s not a matter of if we will come back it’s when. This place is special and you’re genuinely missing out by not stopping in.

NetherlandsIt is a bit pricey, European price standards. And there are no options to eat or drink anywhere else if you don't have your own transport (see my motorcycle suggestion). So that can be a bit limiting, and the reason why location and value I rated lower. Everything else was perfect.
Wonderful people, Gabi, Federico, and everyone else! Even though it is a hotel-like place, they made me feel very welcome. The nature is amazing. You must visit the lagoon beach. And I recommend to see the entire island as well. Starfish beach is nearby if you take the shuttle or motorcycle. P.S. a useful hint - you can rent a motorcycle and get to the bungalows, no one tried it before apparently, but it is not so bad. It will save you some money if you plan to see the island.

IrelandWe had an excellent time at Bird Island Bungalows. From the moment we arrived we were able to disconnect and just be present at this beautiful property. The staff were very attentive and friendly and always looking after us. The views are spectacular whether enjoying them from the deck, the pool or one of the two private beaches. Breakfast was well served and delicious. I'd highly recommend the granola. All in all we had a very relaxing time at Bird Island Bungalows and we sad to leave but we'll certainly be back some day soon!

CanadaPlease see notes above. Nothing really to dislike.
This locale is not for everyone. You are in the jungle and off the grid 100%. The road to enter is a 20 min dirt road. That said we had a spectacular time. The location is so beautiful!! The staff are genuine, friendly and so helpful. The cabin we stayed in was beautiful a great view of the Oceqm and the Jungel around us. The staff were very helpful to arrange excursions. The pool delightful, the lookout a great vantage point. One reminder, maybe pack a light blanket. It can get cool at night and you have a one sheet and a single light throw in the room. We made due with our towels for extra layers. So happy we ventured to this true island paradise.

FranceMaybe it’s a bit expensive 5$ per person to go to Bocas del drago maybe it could be a fixed prices and we could share the total with other and the staff could arrange to group people if they want
Amazing places with a lot of free services. You can see animals toucans, perrezosos. And the view is amazing so is the food !

ItalyDinner at this hotel is not cheap, and there are no restaurants close by. Prices are in line with a mid-range hotel, but the portions are very small

United StatesThere is literally nothing we did not like!
It is perched on the edge of the jungle and over looks the most impressive view of the ocean and bird island! The property itself is so unique - the pool, the surroundings, the nirvana of trees, birds, trails and stretches of untouched beaches - unbelievable! The staff are so friendly and helpful and the chef is incredible!

We really enjoyed our stay at Bird Island. The views from the common-areas are beautiful and the staff is really nice. The nearby beach is one of most beautiful we saw on our whole trip and there is literally noone. As the place is very remote you have to eat there too. The food was priced resasonable and was good overall. Not execptional but tasty and healthy.
