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 reviewClean, comfortable and right at the beach.
The music from the nearby beach bars are very disturbing. There are parties several times a week, and the music goes until 3 am.

Verified reviewI like the proximity of the hotel to the beach and other places of interest.
I would love it if, for the price of the stay, breakfast could be included.

Very small rooms. Bathroom smelled like sewage sometimes, overly loud music on Friday.

Verified reviewWe’ve got upgraded for free :) The suite was amazing, best view, bidet. The pool is very nice and the bar too. The staff were kind and helped us.
There wasn’t a door to the room just windows. And many bags.

Verified reviewHotel infrastructure, the rooms are build inside containers, tiny but cool
It does not have a latin/panamenian vibe at all. When we were there it felt like a party place for young israeli people, various signs are in Hebrew and the music played is generic electro-house. Curious that most of the guests were from this small african country, some of them left their manners at home sadly

Verified reviewGreat location and wonderful pool for when you need a break from the beach.
The rooms are not soundproof, so you can hear anyone talking or partying outside of the rooms. There was a group of guests that were extremely loud from 4 am until 6 am outside of our room, and we could not sleep.

Very strange arrangement for breakfast settlement, they promissed to remove such a costly confusion. Plus change the personel at restaurant. Little way too soft mattrace, without warning in advance.

Verified reviewWonderful location in Playa Venao. Since I stayed the week before Carnivals on weekdays, the hotel was quiet, calm, as well as the surrounding areas. Which is something you might want to check if you need "me time" instead of party time. Loved the pool, the bar and the room. Overall an amazing experience. Thank you team!
It's a bit overpriced (for locals), however, needed to be mindful of its location. So, no harm done. There is a lot to pick from.
