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.).

CanadaA bit isolated (which comes with the location), you can't have both. So close to the ocean that waves are noisy, it takes a little while to get used to it.
Beautiful scenery, sea view, private rough beaches, wild animals. Friendly staff.

CanadaThis was such an amazing, relaxing and beautiful stay. The location is so quiet- very easy to arrange a taxi via WhatsApp to town for $15. The staff were so friendly and the food was delicious! I would highly recommend for a quiet getaway by the ocean.

Czech RepublicThe accommodation is located about 8 km from the center, so you have to take into account that every purchase or visit to the center will cost $15 for a taxi (one way), if you choose to leave before 6 am the price is $20. I also didn't like that it was nice that drinking water in an uncooled barrel was in the room, but de facto you pay for it at the final bill with a price of $6.Furthermore, the shower in the room was often without pressure, so you had to wait for someone below you to take a shower. The shower head was not properly attached and was in danger of falling off.
The owners are helpful, as are the staff.,Accommodation suitable for those who want to relax.

United StatesBathroom in room 2 has very strong Clorox or cleaning agent odor so have to keep bathroom window open to minimize the smell. Unfortunately bathroom window is above an outdoor dining table by the kitchen.
Beautiful location with crashing waves which you can see from the outdoor dining area. Close to beach. Lots of hammocks and small sitting areas to sit and enjoy the sounds of the waves.

GermanyIsolation is the charm of this place, but also its weakness. There is a bus but if you don't want to wait and take a taxi it will be 15$ one way to go at the town so it's a budget to take into account!
Beautiful place, enjoyed to have a shower looking at the jungle :) Super nice staff, good food (we ate breakfast and dinner), the beach around looks nice to have a walk and of course to surf if you are a surfer! We saw many birds and sloths, amazing!!

United StatesWe didn't realize it was so far from bocas town and thought there would be transportation options available at or near the hotel, but unfortunately there weren't. We were still able to find options besides taxis but had to do a little research on our own.

Matthau’s an amazing host super friendly and knowledgeable. The wildlife around the property is incredible and the private beach, snorkelling and activities are 2nd to none. I would 100% return if visiting Bocas again.
