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 reviewThe host (Adiel) is super kind, he has a really sweet dog that doesnt bark and the rooms are clean. Adiel let us use his bikes and gave us a ride to the bus station when we left. It's located next to a nice trail.
It's not luxurious but definately clean and nice. And It's a little bit further from town, but with the bikes and even walking really doable.
Thanks for staying on La Casita Femke and Stephan!

Verified reviewWe found a true Home away from home and Ariel became a friend. He helped us a lot. He created a calm and a beautiful spot with the Casita Don Daniel. It's unique. We plan to come back and would highly recommend a stay at this place. Good located at hiking spots, shops close by. Bikes available and comfy Hammocks. And there is a very lovely cat in the nice garden area, which we already miss a lot. Thank you Ariel!

Verified reviewEverything was amazing. The best hostel we stayed in, in Panama. It was really close to a trail called camina India Dormida. There is an option of borrowing a bike for free so you can go to the center. Mr Daniel was very sweet and super helpful. Overall atmosphere felt like home, there are books you can borrow, nice background music also there was a guitar and a piano that you can play. Beautiful interior and outside as well. Kitchen was perfectly equipped. There is also a shop nearby (a few meters). We cannot express how amazing our experience was. Thank you!
Everything was amazing, sad we couldn’t stay longer
Thanks you dear friends!!!

Verified reviewVery friendly sociable and helpful hosts. Has bicycles for you, gives ride(s) around town. Nice pictoresque house. Good location
Room was very basic. No fan, half open, and next to a road with traffic. Felt very overpriced.

Verified reviewAmazing friendly and welcoming host. Ariel really made our stay special, he even helped us prepare my son's birthday and sang him a birthday song. Ideal location for the hike to India dormida. The garden is very relaxing as well as Ariel's massages.
The beds could be longer :)

Verified reviewGreat location right near the trail head of La India Dormida. The owner Ariel went out of his way to make us feel at home and make our travels easy. He is probably the most hospitable host we have ever encountered in our travels. He met us in town at the bus stop and offered to drop us off at the bus stop when we were leaving. He is very knowledgeable about the town and activities, and loves to share music and stories. The communal spaces are very homely, there is a big backyard space and a river alongside the property.

Verified reviewAriel is a very great guy and made us really feel welcome. He always is willing to help, even if you don't ask. The hostel has nice shared areas such as the kichen, living room and a garden with hammocks. We loved our stay in this hostel and this town! There are beautiful hikes nearby as well.

Verified reviewAriel is a great host, super friendly and helpful. Probably the nicest host we had in Panama. We travelled as a family with two younger kids and there was enough space for them to play and even some toys.
