Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

PanamaCannnot think of anything.
Beautiful setting, surrounded by nature. Close to hiking trails, waterfalls and incredunle views. A truly special place. The accomodations were phenomenal and the living room spectacular…you can hang out in there the whole day. Great breakfast; Rai, the concierge was great and went out of his way to make our stay hassle free.

PanamaMake sure you bring your drinks and food, since Altos del María is a condominium where it's mainly expensive houses and there are no restaurants. Once you know this and take it into account you're good to go.
The owner (Eric) and the host at the location (Rai) were both super good. Fast and clear information and both collaborating to make this the perfect birthday getaway. Altos del María is nice to escape the city and be in nature. A little colder (22°C at night) and fresh mountain air.

South AfricaThe accommodation is lovely and the garden is beautiful and tranquil. The trek downstairs to the bathroom at night is a bit cumbersome. We slept with open doors and windows - it was cool and quiet. The location is beautiful, it’s just a bit further from El Valle de Anton than is convenient. However, Rai, the amazing host, made every effort to make our stay wonderful - and he did. So, will I recommend Villa Hermosa? Definitely.

CanadaBeautiful garden environment and the interior decor is amazing. Surrounding mountain countryside is idyllic. The host was very informative with excellent communication skills. Service was also excellent. Breakfasts were delicious and quite varied each day. We looked forward to each breakfast and were definitely set up for the day. You do need a car to get around, but the views are stunning. A true 10 out of 10.

A fantastic place in majestic mountains, with beautiful rainforest nature. The villa is charming, superbly equipped with a beautiful garden. The owners are extremely friendly and courteous. It's worth staying there longer.

United Statesour refrigerator was warm(due in part to a temporary power failure) and needed more ice available to enjoy late afternoon do-it-yourself cocktails.
location is very beautiful but more remote than i expected. it is a 40 minute drive to go out for dinner , either to the village of Anton itself or to coronado. breakfast is in a lovely setting, homecooked in mexican style. would suggest adding chorizo to the scrabled eggs course to add a little more protein for us meat eaters.

PanamaThe food, attention and kindness of the staff. The rooms were quite, comfy, and cozy. Bathroom was in perfect condition. It even had an Alexa for commands like turning the lights or play music. The location is perfect, close to the hiking trails, Eric will help you reach the ones you're interested or even suggest ones outside Altos del María. They cook a delicious breakfast for you and allow you to use their kitchen for you to prepare your own food. Wifi is really good for general purposes.

PanamaNo hot water in the morning, could hear the people in the other room. No place to eat dinner. You either take everything like a camping trip or you starve! Do not drive to El Valle the road is so bad for your car. Just don’t understand why there is not even one place to eat in the whole area. Also the price is very high for what it is
Location is beautiful, very clean. Very quiet. Great place to escape from it all.
