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 StatesNothings.
This place is the best hotel in panama, period. I have stayed in most of the luxury hotels, in Panama City, and nothing compares. They bring good old days service and standards into modern, friendly, welcoming environment. The bed and bedding are superb, all sparkling clean everything, spacious rooms, amazing food in their restaurant. Comfortably located on a quiet side street. This is always my go to choice in the city. Yes I’m a returning client.

United StatesThere were a few flys in the bathroom which I was surprised to see but I quickly took care of them and didn't see anymore during our stay.
The staff was excellent from the time we entered the hotel until the time we exited. All staff were friendly, accommodating, and kind. The room was clean and room service was prompt. Airport shuttle service was provided and the driver was prompt and kind. When checking in, we were greeted with a smile and kind word from all staff in the lobby and I found Juan who checked us in to be very professional, friendly, and accommodating. Regarding food, it was top notch. We only stayed one night but had a wonderful dinner and breakfast. The waiter was fantastic and had a lot of patience as I practiced speaking Spanish. He was very kind and allowed my hubby to take a photo of him and I which I appreciated. We will stay again in January and hope to see this waiter again to display my improvement in speaking the language. We had a wonderful experience staying at Bristol Panama! I am very particular about what hotels I choose and this one is at the top of my list.

United StatesThe hotel needs upgrading. Besides that they have slick marble floors in the bathroom in many of the rooms. I was getting out of the bathtub and I slipped and fell. We asked for a different room but were told they all were like that.
The location was great. The breakfast was quite nice.

United StatesThe staff was truly excellent at this hotel. I made arrangements to have a car service pick us up from the airport and received numerous emails from the hotel confirming that a driver would be waiting for us. Upon our arrival, we were upgraded to a lovely room with a view of the city. We also had them arrange transportation to the marina where we met our ship. Everything was performed seamlessly and with a smile. Great stay!

United StatesThe only thing I personally didn't like were the pillows. They are very soft. Of course that's just a personal preference.
This is a beautiful hotel! The staff was very accommodating and very friendly. We had a king suite room that was very large for a very reasonable price. The bathroom was very large with a two person bathtub and a full sized walk-in shower. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and because I booked on Booking.com, the breakfast was free. We also had lunch in the hotel and again the food was very very good. I cannot say enough, good things about this hotel. If you decide to stay here, you will not regret it.

Very comfortable stay. The beds were probably among the best hotel beds we have ever stayed in. Very quiet at night. Good for sleeping. Very helpful staff. My husband lost a filling and needed emergency dental work. The staff helped us find a good dentist and book the appointment for us. Amazing breakfast. So much choice.
