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.).

NetherlandsIt’s not 100% like the pictures (anymore). Also, some aspects could use a touch up. E.g. the bathroom does not have a curtain, the shower does not always have hot water. The rooms view the parking lot, but still a lot of private space for yourself including the hammock and lazy chairs.
Amazing location and the view across the sea is incredible. Elizabeth and Israel were extremely friendly and helpful and will help you with all your questions. Breakfast not a lot of choice but freshly made with fresh fruits and coffee every morning. The pool area is nice and there’s plenty of room to relax!

GermanyAbsolutely great stay here. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Breakfast is fine, the pool is nice to cool down a bit. A/C works, beds are comfortable. Not much more that you can ask for. Plus, you get amazing sunsets that you can watch just a minute max from your bed. Absolutely recommend.

There are so many great things about this place, but the top thing is the people. Israel and Elisabeth are so welcoming and warm and the whole atmosphere is about making you feel like you are connected with others and are at home. We stayed for 4 days first and went back the next week for 3 days as it was so wonderful to be there. On top of that, the view is amazing and definitely the best in the whole area. We looked at many other hotels and nowhere was better, starting with breakfast on the terrace and ending with a beautiful sunset for dinner. If you can’t eat there, then try Chano next door. Maybe one of the best meals we have ever had anywhere. The rooms are comfortable and clean and everything works fine. In addition, they can organize trips to Coiba for snorkeling and walking.

United StatesThe pictures may have been taken when it first got built. It needs a little TLC. We stayed in the junior suite and when they say second bedroom, they mean a bed in the living room. Also, the private bathroom has the shower in the main bedroom, which is a little weird.
Great location with a fantastic view. Elizabeth at the front desk is wonderful and really makes the place. Pool is small, but nice. Wonderfully quiet.

NetherlandsThe facilities are a bit rundown, i feel the pictures are from better times, maybe pre-covid. Rooms are spacious but just a bit scruffy. Which is fine, the garden makes up for that, but (at this moment) it’s not the luxurious feel the pictures portray it to have, or reflecting the price you pay. Nevertheless, still worth it since the views are the best.
Without a doubt (one of) the best locations you will find in Catalina. The views from the garden + deck are unmatched. Very kind and warm staff, excellent breakfast and dinner. We had a great day trip to Coiba arranged via the hotel. Also, many restaurants within a short walking distance! Nice pool. But the biggest magic is the view, truly stunning and nothing short of paradise. Very happy to have stayed here.

SwitzerlandThe "center" of Santa Catalina with the diving schools is a 7-10 min walk away (which is no problem but just an extra info). It is a small hotel - not new but ok and clean. The pool is on the smaller side. For breakfast there are 3 options and the portions is not that big. You have to pay extra for fresh fruit juices. In our room there were kitchen cupboards, a fridge and kitchen furniture but there was no sink, stove or kitchen equipment. Not sure why this half-finished kitchen was there.
Very friendly lady at the reception. Good location at the sea. However, the beach is not accessible from the hotel as the coast is very steep. The drinks at the hotel are fairly priced. We didn't try the restaurant, though.
