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 reviewBreakfast is included, which is nice. I am gluten free, and they did have an omelet that I got every morning and always a little bowl of cut-up fruit. The room was everything you need, and nothing you dont. Very simple and straightforward. The room did not have a hairdryer, but the front desk has one you can use upon request. The a/c worked well, shower was great. The location is right on the water, and right in town. Our room had a little balcony since it was facing town. It was a little loud at night with all of the activity late night and early morning. Staff was very kind and helpful.

Verified reviewThe location of Hotel Paraiso was excellent literally 2 minute walk from the water taxi. The breakfast was good value for money. The receptionist was really friendly and professional. The waitresses were friendly and even on an exceptionally busy night did their best to accommodate orders. The restaurant serves tasty food and decor is contemporary.
On the website it should state that water will be shut twice daily. 12-2pm & 6-7:30pm. This only stated on a poster on the bathroom. When we went to brush our teeth after 8pm had to go down to reception to inform them our sink had no running water it was rectified swiftly. They need to put hooks on the bathroom door, the bathroom is on the small side but utilities are ok. Our bed space was spacious, there was no view from the window. I think given the price charging for rooms do need to ensure details like mattress protectors are available. However it's located in a prime location and the restaurant located in the hotel does serve good food.

Verified reviewBreakfast was delicious and the staff were super helpful. The views from the restaurant were spectacular.
A fridge in the room would've been great, also maybe some tea/coffee and a water bottle filling point.

Verified reviewThe hotel is tastefully decorated in a beautiful Caribbean style. The hotel is spotlessly clean and the staff were so friendly, professional and helpful. You can tell they really care and are invested in ensuring guests have the best time.
Nothing I didn’t like. I am a regular visitor to Bocas and will book this hotel again. I am excited to dine in the waterfront restaurant when this is open.
Thank you for your positive review, looking forward for your next visit!
