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 reviewWe loved the location on Bluff Beach with a wild feel from the huge waves and jungle down to the beach. The room was gorgeous and opened completely to the front allowing an incredible view in the morning. The sounds of the waves crashing on the beach was a great way to get off to sleep. The bed was really comfortable and the room of a good size set back in the garden. Breakfasts were very tasty and varied and the evening meals we had there were excellent although there are other very good choices near by. Probably the best feature of the hotel was the staff ; so friendly and helpful with great service - all managed efficiently by Olivia. A wonderful place to stay if you are looking for a peaceful stay near to nature.

Verified reviewWonderful personal, excellent food, beautiful and spacious bungalow with a very comfortable boxspring bed, great beach right in front of the house.
Concerning the location you have to know that Bluff Beach is not a swimming beach and the road to hummingbird is a very bumpy dirt road

Verified reviewSuper nice location with very friendly staff. Wonderful animal noises and the sound of the sea. Nice to fall asleep, nice to wake up. Unfortunately we were only here for two nights, but would stay longer next time. Everything was very clean and the food was delicious.

Verified reviewStaff was extremely attentive and friendly. Room was large with a good bed.
The hotel was great. We definitely had some surprises re the distance to town, (30 min cab ride one way) and beach that was not amenable to sit on or swim.

Verified reviewWe loved our stay here. A very small and unique hotel set amongst lush tropical plants, flowers, hummingbirds and butterflies. We were also invited to "see a sloth before breakfast" - a real highlight of our trip! Our rooms were beautifully maintained with a wonderful view and very peaceful. The food was excellent - seared tuna and delicious salads. The owners were very helpful and had done a fabulous job in creating such a special place.

Verified reviewEverything about The Hummingbird was done well. We were made to feel very welcome from the initial contact on arrival in Bocas Del Toro. The gardens and room provided ample opportunity to slow down and enjoy all that nature offers in Panama. We had a much needed recharge during our stay and would return in a heartbeat.
Absolutely nothing.

Verified reviewThis was a super clean and beautiful property. The rooms are refreshed daily. They are minimalist but have everything you could need: beach towels, beach bag, cold pack, drinking water, toiletries, etc. the private porch has a swing chair and small table for eating. There was a beautiful pool, books, games, binoculars and more. The hosts were fantastic. Friendly but bit intrusive. They organized several taxis and outings for us. The location is perfect. Out of Bocas town and close to many jungle trails. The onsite restaurant was also delicious! We felt no need to go anywhere else during our 5 day stay.
Nothing!

Verified reviewThe Hummingbird is a stunning, peaceful and charming boutique hotel. The location right on the beach is so so special. The rooms are luxurious but designed to be in-keeping with their surroundings with huge ceilings, big beds and gorgeous terraces (we had a sea view too!). The attention to detail in the rooms is exceptional with beach bags, water bottles for the beach, and fresh filtered water. Food at the hotel was amazing, we ate there both nights and loved everything - the coconut bread was unreal, ceviche yummy and the wine list was extensive, being able to drink Minuty on an island in Panama was very lavish :) Oh and happy hour was all too tempting and included some snack dishes too. The owners couldn’t do more for you and we’re always on hand to help with travel plans, activities (+ going out of their way to get some car keys back to us that were left behind) I will be talking about this hotel in years to come, I would thoroughly recommend!
Absolutely nothing! Maybe not staying long enough!
