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.).

IrelandNothing really, I personally prefer having a sink in the bathroom rather than bedroom but that’s a very minor thing.
Large bedrooms with very comfy beds. Staff were lovely especially the girl working in the restaurant during the day. Small food menu but good, fresh and lots of flavour. The owners were also great and gave some very good restaurant recommendations (Meren & Pier 19). Jean was lovely also, all very welcoming and beautiful beach just across the road. We didn’t go in the pool but it looked great.

GermanyWe had such a fantastic time here – this place is truly a hidden gem and feels brand new. The owners are incredibly friendly and service-minded. We felt so lucky to have stayed here! The food was outstanding – definitely the best we had in all of Bocas del Toro. The breakfast was also very good and delicious, a great way to start each day. The hotel staff were wonderful. Special thanks to Melanie and Christopher – they were always there to help us with anything we needed. They were super friendly, spoke great English, and made communication easy, especially when we had some language difficulties. The whole place was very clean, everything worked perfectly, and the team really took care of everything. You can even arrange a taxi to the airport directly through them – they handle it all smoothly for you. The beach is just steps away from your room and absolutely beautiful – the most stunning beach on the whole island. Plus, you can use the pool 24/7, and there’s free drinking water available at all times. Warm greetings from Ricarda and Kevin – and a big thank you for such a perfect stay!

United Statesnot a single thing - the service was amazing, the rooms were huge and comfortable, and the hotel grounds and pool were lovely. They put so much thought into everything
this hotel is incredible. I love the location - just across from Playa Bluff which made beach access incredible. getting into town for restaurants + airport was super easy thanks to their taxi services (fair, consistent price, and really reliable). The hotel is newly renovated and blends into the jungle landscape perfectly. We woke up one morning to howler monkeys in the trees outside our room! such a cool experience. The food was also excellent and they had great vegetarian options. We'll definitely return in the future.

United StatesI wish they had some more vegetarian options on the menu and that the menu changed daily. The location is remote so it’s a production to leave and eat somewhere else.
Rooms and the pool were beautiful. The beach was very close and we could hear the ocean crashing from our room. The waves were too big for much swimming, but it was a very quiet beach and we were often the only ones on it. The food at the restaurant was all very good.

United KingdomIt’s about 30 minutes from the main town and the road is very bad. The taxis are a problem so if you want to go out in town this is not the right place for you but if you would like to chill by a beautiful pool and have a walk on the beach ( not possible to swim because of the current) then you will have a great time.
Wonderful hotel, stunning pool, great food. Everything you need and more.

United StatesThe food here is excellent. Truly excellent. All other accomodations are superb. Relaxing place to visit. There is a beach nearby- very nice for sunbathing, but not a swimming beach as the waves come in rough. You can still get in the water and have a good time as long as you are in shallow. The sand is beautiful and it is isolated. Great for meditative retreat.

France- the beach in front of the hotel is beautiful with no one. That’s amazing. But with strong waves, so it’s difficult to swim - location is a bit far from town, it would be good to have a partnership to rent a car for instance, or to offer 2 transfers per day to the main town.
- the entire hotel is new, everything is very clean. The place is beautiful! - great pool to relax - delicious food for dinner, the chef is great. - adorable owners, always happy to help (with taxis, laundry, tours), and very nice staff - calm location

AustriaThe comments in some hotel reviews about the bad access road and the occasional really high waves on the beach are true, but this is not in the hotel's control and we didn't find it annoying in any way. Everything was perfect and we have nothing to criticise.
The hotel and the entire surrounding landscape are a true paradise. The operators of the hotel are extremely friendly and very helpful and are available to answer any questions with competent answers. They also gave us tips for leisure activities. The hotel itself leaves nothing to be desired and offers every comfort. Some people have written in their reviews that there are no shopping facilities in the immediate vicinity and that it is better to stock up on drinks before travelling. It is true that there is no shop nearby, but water is available free of charge at any time of the day or night. The drinks in the hotel bar can also be bought at a really fair price. And actually, you know before you book that you've chosen a hotel in a secluded location, so that shouldn't be a problem anyway. And to be honest, it's the location in the middle of nature on the beautiful beach that gives the hotel its special flair. The food in the restaurant was very tasty and we always enjoyed it. The breakfast was included in the room rate, was very good and you could also choose from different variations. We really enjoyed the hotel and will definitely be back. Thanks a lot for the great days and your excellent hospitality! Oops, I almost forgot, you can also watch sloths and howler monkeys from the hotel. Really cute to watch :)

United StatesIt was hard to get information on things to do. The transportation offered was not always accurate and on time so you want to make sure that you do have someone coming to pick you up and take you to airport. The pool area is pretty much on your own and their staff do not come and bring you your drinks. Sometimes it was no one at the bar so that made it a little less desirable at times.
This is a beautiful new hotel resort on The bluff. This was our third time visiting the area and we wanted to try the s boutique. The pool and rooms are exceptional. The restaurant food is average and the staff were not as accommodating as we have experienced at the other places on the bluff. I know it's new and they are probably working out some of these issues but it would have been very helpful to have someone on site that was available to answer questions during the day. It would be nice to also have information about the other restaurants and places and things to do. This would be an added value to anyone coming to stay here. The location is absolutely ideal. The air conditioning is also a great plus as many of the other lodges and hotels do not offer that on the bluff.

SpainOur stay at this boutique hotel on Isla Colón was absolute perfection. Nestled between the jungle and the sea, right by the gorgeous Playa Bluff (not ideal for swimming but stunning nonetheless), the setting is pure paradise. With only 10 rooms, the hotel offers a peaceful, intimate vibe. Our spacious room featured a large, comfortable bed and a private balcony — waking up to the sounds of howler monkeys and birds was unforgettable. The swimming pool was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The service was excellent — the staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay. The food was delicious, making it tempting to dine in often. It’s about a 30-minute drive from Bocas Town, so I’d recommend having a taxi contact handy. One of our highlights was renting ATVs to explore the island — an amazing way to see more of the area (including the incredible beach “La piscina”) All in all, a 10/10 experience. If you’re looking for tranquility, nature, and a bit of luxury, this place is a hidden gem.
