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.).

CanadaOur group loved our two-night stay on Taboga Island. We had rooms on the top floor which gave us great views out to the ferry dock and beyond. It gets hot on Taboga, and our air conditioned refuge was exactly what we needed after a hot day of exploring. David, the owner, was amazing giving us directions for places to eat, drink, and hike, and he made great margarita cocktails as well... Sure, you'll visit other properties on the island to dine or to grab a drink, but the Palace Hotel is far and away the correct choice for accommodation just steps from the ferry and including touches of luxury. The beds and linens were outstanding. Tea, coffee, and biscuits in the room. The pool area was perfect even in the heat of the day as they have giant patio umbrellas to keep the sun off if that's what you want. If you're reasonably fit, ask David for directions to the Tres Cruces trail up a steep path through the jungle to where it's said the last three pirates on the island are buried then on to the top of the mountain and an old US bunker from the 1940s for a great view of the island. Do try as many of the food options the island provides from the fancier to the food kiosks. Some you'll love, some you will not. David's advice on these points is invaluable. We'll keep great memories from our time on Taboga Island!

CanadaThe price of the drinks in the hotel compared to other places on the island were a bit pricey.
Everything. Was beautiful. Staff was friendly. Room was terrific. Great location right beside the pier where the ferry docks. Small enough you can get to know the other people staying in the hotel if you want, but large enough that you can keep to yourself when you want to. Will be back.

CanadaThe only thing lacking was that they had instant coffee. We would have preferred a coffee maker or even better yet, a cappuccino. They have a cappuccino machine in the lobby but it is not being used.
The pool was lovely with a beautiful view of the island. Our room was wonderful with a nice size bathroom and all the amenities that were required.
