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 reviewI liked it so much, I stayed for a month! I stayed in one of the studio style units that has a bedroom and bathroom down below and a kitchenette and small seating area up above. It was the perfect place to make breakfast and lunch from the comfort of my room and on my own timetable every day. The hotel is about a 3-minute walk from access to the point, which is the premier world-class surfing break here in Santa Catalina. The owner and the housekeeper are both amazing, very helpful, super friendly women. The place is amazingly well maintained, and the AC and power will keep on working regardless of whether the utility company is functioning thanks to the trusty generator on site. You cannot go wrong here.

Verified reviewAmazing! We loved the pink house. It was very clean, large, comfortable, and quiet. The hostess was attentive to all our needs and very helpful--she even did our laundry for us! There was wifi, a coffee maker, hot water, air conditioning, and very comfortable beds. Highly recommended!

Verified reviewThe kitchen was very well equipped: many pots and pans, plates, cups, toaster, bowls, toaster, cutlery, coffee maker, even a blender, basically much more than we needed. Our little house was very clean and quiet, as it was located slightly out of the village center. Still, everything was very walkable. Thank you, senora Paola!
Nothing. Perhaps the price was a bit on the high end, but then Panama is not a cheap place to travel and we were there over Christmas.

Verified reviewThe host is very responsive for the queries I have. 5 mins walk to two hostel/hotel next to Casa Maya. Can enjoy the pool/ocean view when have drink, breakfast there. And the sunset point is also 5 mins away.
In general the electrcity is not stable in the island. But they have their own generator. So just be patient as the island will have not internet or wifi access some time as well. Just relax and be patient. As just travel to chill and relax there.

Verified reviewWe really enjoyed our stay in casa maya - it is a very clean and comfortable house with a good atmosphere. It had plenty of space for a family of 4 to eat, relax and sleep. And we were glad to have a well equipped kitchen to cook some simple meals and to have air conditioning. All the staff was very nice and we felt very welcome. The location was good to - quiet, near to a great pizzeria and gelateria. To the big beach was a bit of a walk, so we took the car, but the centre of town and smaller beaches are not far.
It was all fine
