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 StatesOur cabin was way too small for 4 people with luggage. The bathroom does not have a wall that reaches the ceiling. More of a camping experience but on the expensive side for camping. We would return but to a bungalow (those looked more modern and spacious).
The owner and staff are AMAZING! They were so friendly, helpful, patient with our children. We would go back to see them, in a heartbeat. The location is good. Close to Rio Dulce and easy access by a boat they facilitate. Close to the road that takes you to Finca Paraíso and El Boquerón (we didn’t go because we opted to chill at the hotel! so much fun!). Breakfast was great and restaurant food was very good. All facilities were super clean. Access to kayaks was good.

BrazilAngela was wonderful and helped us right away! We loved the staff, the treehouse and rustic vibes, great food and lovely docks. It’s a short ferry ride to everything! And they’ll get you when you come into the port and when you need to get back each day. Nice beds, shower is okay, but really is scenic and good stay for rio dulce

GermanyThe comfortable rooms are rather large. You arrive by boat. The hotel will either take you to the center of Rio Dulce by its own boat or the staff con make arrangements for you if you want to go to Livingston, which is a nice day tour. The hotel offers a good breakfast. They also offer lunch and dinner. Not to foreget, you also swim in the rio.

United StatesNo AC was a bit brutal if you wanted to go to the room and rest during the day, but it cooled off nicely at night even on the 95 degree day I was there.
It was clean and felt very safe. The bar regulars are friendly and fun to chat with. Good food though a bit expensive, but makes sense for a somewhat isolated spot.

United StatesEverything was great until we realized there were no amenities like coffee or cups or water in the room. Glad we had our flasks so we could refill from the abundant water spots available throughout the facility. With such an awesome room it would have been great to enjoy a cup of coffee in the comfort of our pajamas. But instead we had to get fully dressed to come to the restaurant, where they did provide free breakfast and coffee. Night stands would have been nice as well to put our things down at night.
Loved the location, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Excellent views. Food at restaurant on site was great! Loved the dogs Pablo and Garcia they are so chill, Pablo would come and hang out at our place.
