How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewIt was close to supermarkets and restaurants. There is a small restaurant two blocks away and the owner will make special dishes since he does the cooking. He made my friend a veggie pumpkin burger. The apartment was private and easy to go do things.

Verified reviewStaff was impecable, the manager of the suites allowed us to stay at another room as I believed I was bitten by this bugs on the 1 bedroom apartment when I napped on the sofa. He was accomodating enought to allow us to stay at the 2 bedroom unit that was available without any extra charge. The price was very good for the other places we saw in the Island of Colon as it had a kitchen, kitchen utensiles are as run down as it gets. The place was extremely dirty. They had a maintenance lady that would daily seitch the trash bags and change towels at our request. We requested to change the towels twice and she did it the next morning. Beds weren’t made. She didnt mop anything throughout the whole week, which there is always some sand from going to the beach, no cleaning supplies are available for you to diy either. Cleanliness in general in the two units was very mediocre at best.

Verified reviewGreat location- 10 min walk to touristy part of town but was really quiet here. Lots of supermarkets around. Had everything we basically needed, though kitchen stuff was pretty old. But we were able to make coffee and breaky everyday so great for that. Big fridge. Beds were comfy. All the basics were clean - beds, bathroom etc. Just had a sense of being a little rundown. Honestly we didn’t care. Air conditioning worked great. Shower was good.
Was glad we were on third floor because of street noise. Balcony doors all had wood insets because locks didn’t work. Without them, I would not have felt safe as 2 women travellers. With them, it was fine. Maybe just needs a bit of a facelift but for the price? Excellent!

Verified reviewLocation, walking distance from water taxis, close to bike riding path.
Ground floor with no usable windows, adjacent to a local pathway... Terrace was unusable, dirty and mouldy, next to abandoned mouldy tractor trailer. Only the very basics in kitchen, no kettle.

Verified reviewThis place is awesome as you get a whole apartment to yourself. The host is super friendly and helpful. The apartment is spacious, clean and well equipped. The property is walking distance from the airport, the main dock and the tourist area which is where you find all the best activities and restaurants.

Verified reviewLocation and price point. Facility management easy to reach.
Cleanliness of place. Maintenance staff not doing a good job (came to fix a leaky faucet in kitchen after we notified facility management. They did replace piping but left the mess to clean to us including removed pipes... and failed to check that the leak was actually fixed. It leaked again from the same spot right away).

Verified reviewNothing!
There is nothing to like there. Guy at the reception was shirtless, place was filthy, surroundings were in a ghetto, hand towels were missing, big towels had holes in them. Tasteless crappy hole. We left after the first night to a better hotel that we paid ourselves. It was SO DISAPPOINTING to have paid for such a worthless place. Shame on Booking.com to inlist such a cheap ass accomodation!

It has more than 100 pics that are not relevant to the property. The staff was friendly and helpful. Sadly the apartment was smelling funny, not very clean and pillows and mattresses were without any protection they looked filthy.

Verified review- The price was affordable - Staff was very friendly - The air condition worked well in the bedroom - The room was clean when I arrived - The islands and the sea are just fantastic
- No credit cards accepted - Quite far from the center but not too far for a walk in a daylight (by the way, it wasn't that easy to get a taxi in this town) - The room wasn't cleaned during the stay, although it says in the description they would do it daily - They're selling their partners' tours around the Panama area and shuttles to Costa Rican locations. The "shuttle" to San José ($40) was actually a shuttle only to the Panama border. After that it was a six hour drive in a regular bus line without air condition. Besides that, we had to wait about an hour at a water taxi terminal and almost two hours at a very hot bus terminal on the Costa Rican side of the border. I would certainly pay double the price to get a more comfortable transportation experience!
