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 KingdomThe staff were so friendly and accommodating, from the contact before and during. I really couldn't ask for better. The rooms were so well designed, clean and fresh. I got a great night sleep and it was quiet and the AC very effective. The pool is great too. I was leaving early and they provided a breakfast sandwich for me to take away.

GermanyWe had such a great time at this hotel! First off, the food was absolutely delicious – every meal we had was fresh, and beautifully presented. You can tell the kitchen really cares about what they serve. The staff were also a big highlight – everyone was so sweet, welcoming, and helpful. It really made us feel right at home. Our room was spotless and really nicely decorated, with a cozy and modern vibe. The whole place is just super pretty and well taken care of – from the rooms to the garden. All in all, a lovely stay. We’d definitely come back!

PanamaHonestly, nothing negative.
Very nice vibe. The room has a good design, comfy bed and nice terrace. The pool is really nice and the water temp was always perfect, also very clean. Convenient to have a restaurant in the property and the food is actually very good. All the staff were very friendly at all times…from booking, all through our stay, until check out. The location is another plus, it is very centric. Another plus is that they have a power plant for whenever there is an electric fault in the area, which can happen at any time. Fully recommended.

BrazilI really enjoyed staying at Tiki!!! Claudia, the owner, made me feel at home, and as soon as I arrived from a long trip she was already there waiting to welcome me. Everything is new and clean in the lodge. Rooms are well-equipped and have good air conditioning, comfy beds and a great decoration. The pool is specially beautiful at night and together with the garden makes a good place to chill. The restaurant is great and is probably the best option in town, with great drinks and several food options. Breakfast is also delicious, and the staff is incredibly friendly and willing to do anything to make you feel welcome there. They also have a shop that is most likely the only place you will find souvenirs in town, and exclusive handmade items. Special thanks to Claudia and Natalie who made my stay more than special!

United KingdomNothing. Everything was excellent.
I had an incredible, relaxing stay at Tiki Lodge. I loved all the little touches from the tropical surf-inspired decor to the organic hand soap in the bathrooms (presented with a dehydrated orange peel). It was such an honour to be one of the first guests here (the place is spotless). My bed, the soft blue blanket, and all four pillows were super comfortable and the room has air conditioning and a fan. There is a pool (which changes lights at night) and you’re surrounded by palm trees with an all round zen feeling. Solo female travelers will appreciate that it’s on the main street just minutes walking from the beach and all the tour operators that organise trips to Coiba (they can also help you arrange tours). Breakfast is included and yummy with three available choices. This was one of those rare places that felt like home. Thank you so much everyone. I know where I’ll be staying whenever I next find myself in Santa Catalina.

The Tiki Lodge is an amazing welcoming place ! It has just been opened in dec 2024 and everything is new. It has 5 individual lodges with a nice terrasse and a swimming pool area. Everything has been decorated with lots of taste by the owners. The matress is super confortable and the hot shower is just great ! There is a ceiling fan and a/c. And the two owners, Claudia and Yann are amazing host who are doing everything to feel you at home in this wonderful place !! They speak french and italian as well. It.s a very calme place, ideal for couples and individual travellers, perfect for divers with two excellent dive centres near the beach (Scuba Coiba and Coiba dive centre). Tiki has its own restaurant and bar and the food is delicious. All the staff is super nice and helpfull ! No noise in the evening as the lodges are in the back yard and everything gets quiet anyways at 10 pm. Grazie Claudia, merci beaucoup Yann pour votre chaleureux accueil ! I had a wonderful stay at Tiki !
