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.).

ItalyMy room was on the first floor and on both sides where the main station for taxi boat so it was always loudly. More, in front of the hotel there’s an island, and a disco with loud music all night long so not so silent, I wasn’t able to sleep the first night in bocas because of the music till 4 in the morning. Breakfast had not many options and the staff of the restaurant is not so welcoming, this had been my experience. I’ve asked to have my table clean but the waiter thought it was more important end her chat with a colleague instead of giving me the service for what I paid for. No smile at all, with the exception of a really nice other waiter that had been really nice instead. If you are looking for peace and tranquility I would not recommend it.
The property is located in the center. Hotel is new and really nice, they can arrange for you daily excursions. I booked a superior room with ocean view so the view was really nice and the room spacious and comfortable. Very good smoothies and nice staff at the reception at least.

AustraliaThe only downside is that being right in the action and being a party destination, music is cranking all night long. They give you earbuds on your bedside table so as long as you're not a light sleeper this is the place to stay.
Bocas Paradise Hotel was fantastic. Right on the water. We had the best room overlooking the water. Comfortable bed, very clean. Coffee machine in the room. Water filter in the lobby to fill up bottles. The cafe has got to be one of the best in town and probably the best happy hour from 4-10pm there is around. Breakfast each day is also great and worth the price. We also did washing for 8USD and it was a great service too. Highly recommend!

United States$5.00 towel rental. I can see a deposit being taken but charging for the towel seemed a bit of a grab. They play music in the lobby too loud and it carries up to the second floor.
Nice hotel, good location for docks, restaurants, activities. Room was fair and met my expectations. They had a same day laundry service which was very reasonable.

United StatesUnfortunately, the location is between two boat taxi pick ups. And the boat taxis are quite noisy, and the taxi drivers are quite aggressive. Almost to an uncomfortable level. If you stay at this hotel and a taxi driver named Hilton tries to help you tell him no he is a crook.
The property was in the middle of Boca town. Short walk to everything. Staff was super friendly. Food was outstanding. Room was clean.

United StatesDue to its central location it’s nearby loud clubs. I knew this going in and it didn’t bother me too much. My friend’s shower didn’t have hot water. Other than that I have no qualms. It was a nice stay.
Central location. Comfortable bed. Friendly staff that gave all guests a bottle of champagne on New Years Eve which was very thoughtful. Big smart TV. My room had a great view of the water.

PortugalWell, sometimes the showers lacks enough power to have a regular shower. The room is quite small, and it lacks space for you to store clothes. I had to keep them in my luggage, which remains open on a stand for the entire stay. Another problem are prices, but that is something general in Panama. Everything is more expensive than what you get from it.
I love the looks of the Hotel. The staff is very kind and helpful. There were some issues upon the check-in but they were able to sort them out.

United KingdomIt's noisy...but not just from the bar next door, the bathroom fan sounds like a jet plane, without a carpet in the hallway, you hear EVERY sound, flapping flip flops, suitcases bouncing down the stairs etc. Everything just echoes. You can hear full conversations with guests in reception from bedrooms. Yes they do provide ear plugs. There is an outdoor space but the chairs are hardly out to enjoy the sea breeze and outdoor space like in the picture.
It's very central and close to Selina Hostel if you're looking for a social environment due to travelling solo. The best pillows I've ever slept on.
