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 StatesThis place is great. We stayed in the full house with the little deck off the back. Can't beat the view, the value, and those pancakes for breakfast. Simple dock on the property makes taking taxis to and from easy as can be. Close the AQUA Lounge if that's your thing.

Location was perfect with easy access to Bocas town, but quaint enough to be away from the party scene. Breakfast was really good and great service. Rooms were clean and comfortable.

GermanyThis is not a complaint but rather a suggestion: - a WC brush (birst) would be nice to have, a shoe mat in front of the door (cleaning is perfect, thank you stuff, but we could clean our shoes before entering the house so that we don't bring so much sand inside), and it would be helpful.to have one more shelf in the wardrobe. Of course there is one, but it is fully occupied by a huge safe, and as a result, there is no place for t- shirts, socks (not all people use hangers especially for a simple kind of clothes which is used on Bocas)
We liked our stay! The houses are very nice, directly over the water, each house is with its own terrace. Breakfast is delicious. People are very friendly. There was one restaurant opened in the area and we visited it every evening, the dinner was wonderful. Or you can take a boat for 1 USD and in 5 minutes you are on the main island where you can find everything - restaurants, supermarkets, tourist information. If we come to Bocas one more time, Faro del Colibri will be surely the first choice!

PanamaGrateful for laundry service but was pretty hefty, other than that no complaints whatsoever!
This is a super unique place sitting directly on the water. It’s very peaceful and the staff is so warm, friendly, and caring. It’s gorgeous you can literally jump into the water from your bungalow! The room had every amenity you need and hot showers. There are activity books as well as restaurants and shops within walking distance. The staff is very accommodating for any activities and there is much to see in the area. It’s a very beautiful place!

United StatesThe 2 floor suite could maybe use another A/C on the first floor but the fan and sliding door to the private deck kept it adequately cool. The second floor A/C was great and kept the whole floor cool.
Great room on the water with very friendly and accommodating owners and staff. An small issue with the air conditioning was quickly fixed and the cleaning service was very thorough.

The location was excellent just over the water from the main town.1 minute boat ride. The views from the overwater bungalow, across to the other islands was stunning.

Location is a quick boat ride from the busy town. Good walking to beaches and great restaurants. Amazing views of Bocas Town and the out islands. Loved hanging out on the porch watching the fish, pelicans, and boats coming and going. Also, kayaks and paddle boards available for a reasonable price. Wonderful staff.

NetherlandsAccommodation is a little dated. We were there in the rainy season but there was insufficient water. This meant that the water was only turned on from 07:30-08:30 and from 18:00-19:00. We checked with guests in other properties on the same island but they did not have this problem.
Super location
