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 StatesFor some reason our google maps gave us strange back road directions to the hotel from Las Lajas. On the way back we were able to find a much more direct route that didn't have us drive through grasses and water. Be mindful of roads when driving to the property. Definitely worth having an elevated car.
Beautiful location. You can walk within a matter of minutes from an extremely well kept pool to Las Lajas Beach. Property was very well kept and rooms were very large. We liked the balcony connected to our room that gave us nice views of the little garden on the property. Great access to a communal kitchen and living area.

CanadaLoved everything!
This was a beautiful small hotel right on the beach, with enormous rooms and modern bathrooms. It has a great pool and a full shared kitchen. We had the beach almost to ourselves, and you could walk for miles in either direction. Staff was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!

Czech RepublicGreat place to stay, just few meters to the beach. Even tho we stayed during the rainy season, we enjoyed it very much. We received all the necessary info from Maryuri and she was always on the phone to help us with anything. I want to give special thanks to Simon, who gave us lot of recommendations for restaurants and things to do on our upcoming trips to Boquete and Bocas del Toro, he was always there to help us with anything and fun to talk to. Many thanks again for everything.

CanadaFrom the moment I arrived at Royal Palm Retreat, I felt at home. The house is well-equipped and very clean. The huge pool and the private, deserted beach were fantastic. This is the best place I've stayed at, right on the beach with beautiful furnishings. I loved that I could bring my dog and my own beer to enjoy ! Highly recommended!!

NetherlandsFirst of all.. you really need a car with a high clearance to get here. 4x4 recommended, but I suppose you can do without. When we were there, there were some very deep puddles on the road to get there that had me sweating. So again: high clearance cars only. Why we didn't rate this property a 9 or 10 (which it deserves) is because of a weird vibe it had that reminded me of a hostel. First of all there was a friend of the owner, both Romanian, that was pretty much laying on the couch checking his smartphone all day. That couch was right in the middle of everything, so it kind of felt like we were in his living room. Secondly the shared kitchen (again: hostelvibes) was dirty, especially the fridge. Maybe it was because we were in low season and the only guests but with upgraded service levels this really is a gem.
The property is absolutely beautiful and the location is very special. Its right on the beach, but on a very quiet stretch. We were the only ones there, which gave us a very special experience. The rooms are very nice, better than on the pictures with a custom made floor that really stands out. Also the caretaker Simon was very friendly and accommodating.

PanamaA bit of a treacherous road to get there, especially in the rainy season, but for being directly on the beach and with that much space, it’s not something I can really complain about!
The house was beautiful and spacious and had all of the amenities we could have hoped for. Gorgeous backyard with lots of space to relax and a big pool to hang out in. Simon was amazing and made sure we had everything we needed over the course of our stay. He cooked us breakfast each morning and was incredibly helpful when we had questions. He was very kind and I couldn’t recommend this place more!
