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 Inn at Palo Alto was an amazing stay for my family. The grounds are maintained with attention to detail. The rooms were clean and spacious. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. There was an evening we were in the city trying to hail a taxi after dinner. We could not find one that was available. So, we asked a nearby restaurant for help. It just happened that the owner of our Inn was sitting at the table in front. He quickly offered to drive us back to the Inn,

Verified reviewSo many great things about the Inn from the gorgeous tropical gardens, hummingbirds and butterflies, to the on point helpful manager and staff. We loved the location with such beautiful views and five minute drive to town. Breakfast was standard but good with a wide variety of breakfast styles. Can't wait to take my husband back with me next time!
There really wasn't anything to complain about!

Verified reviewWhat a gorgeous, well maintained property in a beautiful setting. The attention to details, like the fire pit, and small walking paths make this property a gem. We loved watching the hummingbirds at the feeder by our room. The rooms were in good condition and had all the necessary items for one’s stay. The breakfast in the morning was fantastic and we also enjoyed the cozy bar at night. We’ll be back for sure!

Verified reviewBeautiful garden with hummingbirds and flowers next to a small river and some decent mountain views. The jacuzzi is the heart of the Hotel. The swimming pool is not heated. Decent rooms with big tv with apps (i.e youtube) and good beds. The breakfast in the morning facing the river is lovely and varied. I used the gym that is really convenient if you want to work out during your stay, plus with views. They helped me organise transport to Bocas del Toro, 8 am just after breakfast, for 30 usd, cheaper than in the internet.
Definitely location is not handy since a taxi is needed any time 4 to 5 usd and it is a bit uphill. They say you can walk 30 minutes. However, there were some aggresive dogs on the street not far from the main bridge that believe me, you do not want to face them. This is an issue I have seen in other parts with dogs left outside by local owners unattended. Otherwise I could have walk on the way down. If you have your own transport, that would not be an issue (although I saw the dogs running after.passing by taxis). My room was facin the interior garden, so, I had to close all curtains to have some privacy.

Verified reviewWe had a great stay at Palo Alto! We stayed in the family suite and it had plenty of room for the 5 of us. What really made this stay incredible was the customer service. Everyone was so kind. Marcelo went above and beyond on so many occasions - not only for our time at Palo Alto but also for the rest of our trip in Panama! Highly recommend.

Verified reviewWhere do I even start. We had read all the promising reviews before we came here. They have nice (free) parking spaces in front of the hotel. The gate opens up to the most beautiful garden with so much plants, flowers and (humming)birds. All the staff are super friendly and always smiling. The spacious room was spot clean and smelled so nice every time we entered the room. Every morning there was a small, but delicious and very fresh breakfast buffet. After our hikes we would relax in the hot tub, which overlooks the river. We would definitely recommend this hotel and are a little sad to leave this place…

Verified reviewThe setting is great with wonderful gardens and set just outside of the main town, so quiet. The staf were fantastic and helped with booking activities and gave great advice on resturants. Marcelo's advice to try George's House Resturant was great, an experience that we really enjoyed. Breakfast was excellent and a good start to the day.
We had no issues during our stay.

Verified reviewThe BREAKFAST IS TRULY DELICIOUS!!! Even one of the morning, we did the volcano sunrise tour and got back around 10:30am (post breakfast hours) but the staff was SO KIND and they knew we would be late so they had breakfast waiting for us still. The place was overall so cute - highly recommend upgrading to mountain view, the views were WOW.
Unfortunately, (and out of the hotel's control), we did have an incident with the people next to us where a fight broke out in the middle of the night but the staff was accomodating and moved us to a different room in the morning. I would also say, while the views are great, just keep in mind that you are not walking distance to anything so you would have to taxi (there are no ubers) to and from the hotel into the downtown area for other meals outside of breakfast.
