Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesI had a little trouble navigating to get there the first time I stayed. However, I have been back since and now no longer have any trouble with the navigation.
The staff are absolutely incredible and go above and beyond to make you feel at home during your stay. After just one visit, the owners of Residence Coya became my friends. Also, the breakfast is made with organic and wholesome ingredients and the rooms are clean and comfortable. I had a great stay and would go back again!

CanadaWe used this place as a stopover on our way to other parts of Panama. It was only a 10 minute walk to both the centre of David and the bus station. Puri and Jose went out of their way to make us feel welcome! Their place is definitely the cleanest place we've ever stayed at. The included breakfast was very fresh and healthy.

CanadaThe room was small, dark and dated. The bed wasn’t the most comfortable, but wasn’t horrible. The area wasn’t safe to walk at night, but I’m not sure if all of David is like that. Same with the dogs barking at night.
We really liked Pura and Jose. They were so friendly and helpful. Jose made an amazing and very plentiful cold breakfast. They had nice touches in the room, like a full size bar of soap, liquid soap, bathmat, big closet. Good hot water. Nice rocking chairs outside the room on the terrace.

Czech RepublicThe location feels a little sketchy, especially at night. Make sure you leave/enter through the main road leading from the city, rather than using the alley that isn't well lit. Ask owners, they will tell you what to do.

United StatesI suppose some of my expectations were higher (not the fault of the hosts, but rather based on my past experiences in hotels), regarding the lack of space in the bathroom and bedroom, and the comfort of the bed. I would suggest any tall or large person(s) stay elsewhere in David, but anyone of average height and weight will still find this a very cozy stay. I don't want to complain much, because the residence is quality and the very friendly hosts do deserve your business.
The hosts go out of their way to ensure visitors have a wonderful stay. They are extremely warm and welcoming, talkative enough while still respecting privacy, and especially generous to offer a nice, wholesome breakfast. Their story is amazing, too, having worked many years to build their offered spaces to what they are today, and they're rightly proud to serve the public at home. We felt comfortable and cared for throughout our stay, and truly appreciate the hosts' personas.

IsraelWe loved everything - we had an amazing experience!
We stayed at the amazing place of the amazing couple - Jose and Forsa.❤️ When we arrived at the hotel they welcomed us with open arms, with a big smile and with natural squeezed orange juice 🍊that was delicious and wonderful! 😍 They hosted us with generosity, devotion, love, care, giving and a smile 😃 - we have never felt this way in a hotel and we travel a lot. My husband felt very unwell, they helped me take care of him and take care of him - it was very exciting, I felt that I was not alone and that they were there for anything we needed, they were available to us for everything, they made sure that my husband drank a lot of water, they brought him medicine, they were always interested For his safety and when they saw that there was no improvement in his condition, they managed to convince us to go to a hospital and thanks to them my husband received the treatment he needed to receive, we are grateful to them for the concern, care, listening ear and the sense of security they gave us, we felt that they were like our family, their hearts are huge!! ! The next morning they prepared a rich, tasty and healthy breakfast for us and made sure we ate and enjoyed it! The hotel is close to everything and within walking distance to a supermarket, bus station, restaurants, etc. The hotel and the room were pleasant to us and very clean (the room was shiny and they cleaned and changed the sheets every day), the air conditioner was great, we had an outstanding hospitality experience in this wonderful hotel and we highly recommend it and for sure we will come back to stay there again!!! The hosts are very patient, friendly and ready to help always and wholeheartedly!❤️💗♥️
