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 loved this beautiful property with fruit trees & varied flora & fauna and the old fashioned verandah suitable for sitting for hours and enjoying the view of the ocean across the street. My friends & I occupied four of five rooms that shared the verandah of an old- fashioned "plantation style" house! Breakfasts were delicious & the hosts who live on the property were full of information about Bocas!

United StatesI thought it was on the beach so I was a little disappointed that there was a road between inn and beach. Other than that we would definitely go back there in a heartbeat.

United StatesFrom the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the wonderful hosts, Mark and Sharon. Their beautiful property is surrounded by stunning foliage, and its just a 5-minute taxi ride outside of town. Our room was spacious and offered great views. The highlight was definitely the pool area, a tranquil oasis perfect for relaxing in the sun or shade if you prefer. Each morning, we enjoyed delicious homemade breakfasts. Mark and Sharon made sure every guest felt welcome and offered lots of recommendations. The combination of outstanding hospitality, picturesque surroundings, and comfortable accommodations makes this B&B a gem. We highly recommend Sand Dollar for anyone seeking a relaxing getaway. We will be back for sure.

Kathe and Martin are the most friendly hosts we could ask for. They are helpful, very kind to our kids and know the area very well. Dama provided the best breakfast we had in Panama. It was a perfect start to our day.

I slept to the sound of the waves and woke to birdsong, it was a very convenient and relaxing 4 night stay as a solo traveler. Sharon was very accommodating in all aspects, and I would definitely stay at her place again.

CanadaWhen we booked it said $675. We put our credit card in and when we got there they asked for $700 cash. So you can’t paid by card which was an in convenience. It also said air conditioning but there was none. We had a fan and that was all. Also for the price they charge you should at least get a tv. There was none Others than that it was clean and the owners and staff were really nice.
