How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewEasy to access by taxi boat, great to be on island. Close to the water, OK pools. Nice design of houses, big rooms, large windows, good Aircon and fans. Great starting point for boat trips to see whales and other islands.
Poor maintenance, lack the last touch to make it fantastic. Not nice to bathe/swim close to the house.

Verified reviewToo many uncovered windows which required AC on full time and still very warm in living areas.

Verified reviewThe Villa is spacious and modern, it offers beautiful views of the forrest and a little of the Boca Chica bay. You get an amazing feel for Boca Bravo island and the Howler Monkeys are right next to the villa. It is very well equipped with all the kitchen utilities needed to cook for a large group.
Currently the property is under construction with additional villas being built. Once done it will be modern and awesome, but currently there are a lot of material, builders and some noise on the property. It’s not a problem but one should be made aware of this before arrival. Only 2 of the 3 rooms were prepared and they were not able to resolve this at 21:00, so I had to share a bed with a friend I haven’t seen for 14 years 🥴

Verified reviewVilla Azul Review, Panama  I recently stayed at Villa Azul in Bocca Chicca, Panama with my family of five and I have to say, it was a wonderful experience. The villa is situated in a breathtakingly beautiful location surrounded by lush green forests and tropical birds. The highlight of our stay was the morning wake-up call from the howling monkeys that was simply enchanting. The manager, Katia, was extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. She made sure that all our needs were met and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Her hospitality was a highlight of our trip and I would highly recommend this villa for anyone looking for a peaceful escape. The only downsides to our stay were the very hard beddings and the lack of shades in the rooms. However, we were pleased to learn that Katia and her team were aware of these issues and were working on improving the comfort of their guests. In conclusion, I would rate Villa Azul 4,5 stars out of 5. The friendly and welcoming service, the stunning surroundings and the peaceful atmosphere make this an excellent choice for anyone looking for a getaway. Despite a few minor issues, I would definitely recommend this villa to friends and family and would love to visit again in the future I would also recommand enjoying a dinner at Katias hotel.

Verified reviewThe house is located on a truly beautiful spot, yet it seems very untouched by mass tourism. It was super quiet, we could hear the birds and the monkeys instead of people or traffic. The house was very beautiful and comfortable. There were many great sightseeing places to explore nearby.
