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 KingdomThe terrace of the B&B is overlooking a beautiful, clean, sandy beach. The breakfast is delicious and copious. Relaxed atmosphere but you never get bored. There’s a beach for surfing at 20 min away by car and a great restaurant nearby. The hosts are very kind and have lots of useful information to share to make sure you make the most of your stay.

The breakfast is amazing, always a highlight. Perfect location, very comfortable. but best of all are the hosts! They so lovingly helped me with my engagement to my girlfriend, setting up a special breakfasst on the beach and helping set up the letters I had written for her :) My gf and I always recommend this place to our friends looking for a beach getaway. I lived two year in the interior of Panama, and this was my favorite place to visit.

PanamaThe bed was a tad loosy but this is a very minor detail that didn't impact in anything at all the experience. If anything, it was part of it and it was fun!
I liked everything. This is not my first in this B&B and not only the host is so very friendly, they are lovely and you can get a good time, this is guaranteed. We played Dominoes, Perudu, some colorful dices, had some music and went to the restaurant Las Veraneras, a few meters away walking on the beach, the breakfast was SO TASTY, Annick really really went beyond on the breakfast. We talked so much and had a very, very good quality time. We loved it.

BelarusPros: Very friendly and helpful hosts. During our 5-day stay, they offered to clean the room and change towels. Amazing and beautifully presented breakfast right by the ocean. Perfect location—just 10 seconds from the ocean and the beach! You can tell everything is made with love, and the owners truly care. A fridge with reasonably priced drinks (cola, beer) and snacks. Hosts provide boogie boards, sunscreen, and other beach essentials—everything you need! Cons: While the house is on the beach, it’s far from infrastructure. The nearest store is a 20-minute walk, but it only sells chips and chocolate. If you need real food (meat, cheese), you’ll need to take a taxi ($10 round trip) or a taxi + highway bus. So this place is for pure beach relaxation. Scorpions and ants sometimes got into our room, but since it's in the middle of nature, it’s understandable. The hosts provided insect repellent. Would definitely recommend for those looking for a secluded beach getaway!

What an amazing find this was. The property is right on the beach. It was very nice and well maintained. Great homemade breakfast. Vincent was a great host. He even went swimming with us in the morning to show us how to navigate the tides. We heard the beaches on the Pacific side were not that good, but that is not true. Santa Clara is a beautiful beach and very safe for swimming. Our only regret is that we didn’t have time to stay another night.

We felt very comfortable there and had a nice breakfast (pancakes, toasts, coffee, plate of fruit and a super delicious jam).

United StatesWe loved everything about it. No complaints whatsoever.
Right on Santa Clara Beach, this bed-and-breakfast exceeded our expectations. Vincent and Pascal are the perfect hosts. Breakfast is worth the price of the whole stay! Vincent, prepared, homemade crêpes, along with fresh fruit, eggs, toast, and breakfast meat. It was exceptional. This is a hidden gem, I hesitate to give it so much praise since I’d like to keep it a secret. 😉 our room was off the main house, and it was a very private with a large bathroom and very comfortable bed with air-conditioning. Three restaurants within walking distance on the beach for lunch and early dinner. We were provided with towels and chairs and even checked out late the last day and was able to use the outdoor shower and change before we left to go back to Panama City.
