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.).

Trinidad and TobagoIt would have been nice to have a small microwave in the room.
The hotel is located in Casco Viejo which has restaurants, museums and stores to keep you busy. The bar had great cocktails and the French cuisine was delightful. The staff were so friendly and we really enjoyed chatting with them.

United StatesThey are already working on improving their check-in process. It wasn’t bad, but they are streamlining it.
I loved the suite, especially the balcony. I had a lovely time reading there. The location was outstanding, so close to all the historic sites, shops and restaurants and I felt very safe the whole time. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff so friendly and helpful.

Trinidad and TobagoNot much to say here other than to not expect some amenities found in hotel stays, such as pools, gyms, spas etc. It is a boutique hotel and they do it well. The rooms were clean but the furnishings are aged and could possibly do with some upgrades.
Villa Palma is in an ideal location for leisure staying in Panama City. Casco Viejo is beautiful with tons of restaurants, bars, museums, and culture, while Villa is perfectly placed away from the bussle for good relaxation while still within very short walking distance for Casco plus short drives to most malls and tours. Checkin was a breeze and while all staff were great, we must commend Sain who was excellent and very attentive. Casco Viejo felt very safe, clean and inviting. Villa Palma definitely met our needs and accommodated any requests we made. Breakfast was also very enjoyable.

United StatesOur room looked "out" into a small interior "courtyard" where people might stand right outside. Privacy didn't become an issue, but this particular room doesn't have the greatest view - which didn't bother us either because we were mostly out and about.
Staff went out of their way to get us some food on a late arrival.
