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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

PhilippinesThe unit is a little bit far from the beach in stations, but it’s near Puka beach. Good thing ate and the guards taught us on how to save transportation cost.
We had a wonderful stay in Alta Vista. The unit was clean and cozy with all the amenities that we needed. Ate Melody was very accommodating. She made sure that all our requests were attended to. Thank you.

CanadaWe were warned about them, and this is not the owner's fault , not even in their control. But some monkeys can be very aggressive. Don't be stupid, and just stay away from them. They're not worth your insta post.( The photo of the monkey was taken from inside )
The unit was the perfect size for my family, and everything we needed was already there. It was nice and quiet ( how I like it). The caretaker, Melody, made sure we were well taken care of and well-informed as well ( warnings about the monkeys).Alta Vista is quite far from the main beach and restaurants, so transportation and delivery fees can be on the expensive side, but it won't break the bank. Just try to talk to the people around you, and you'll find that there are lots of cheaper options to go around the island.

PhilippinesAte Melody (the caretaker) is very accommodating & reliable. The Host, Mr.David is very responsive. The place is big for it’s price! it can accommodate upto 10 pax. If you’re with kids and want to stay in a quiet place, this is the best accommodation for you! the pool is warm and big. Ate Melody is very informative about what to know, where to go and what to do in Boracay. She will provide you all the details you want to know. And will check up on you from time to time. All in all we had fun on our vacation here! Kids enjoyed, so we enjoyed too! 🫶🏻 will choose to stay in this place again for sure.

The resort facilities are awesome. The unit is very spacious and the host and caretaker are both kind and accommodating. We enjoyed seeing more than 10 monkeys in the yard and in the balcony. The view from the unit balcony is spectacular. The pool is one of the best in the island.

United StatesEverything was great at the property and there was nothing I didn't like. If I had to have a dislike it would be the e-trikes prices for special use (no other riders allowed/only people in your party) (Like a cab). Comparing prices to what I normally pay in Cebu City for a cab, the price for an e-trike is 2-4 times the price. This is not a tourist price by the way, it is the normal price. If you ride the e-trike like a jeepney the price is a lot less. Overall it isn't going to break the bank....This is just something I noticed and didn't have a dislike for anything else.
The host and the caretaker were the best. I have never stayed at any property where the host/caretaker made sure my stay was the best it could possibly be....10 stars to them both. The property was great with all the amenities you would need for a comfortable stay. The shower had great pressure and hot water. The bed was comfortable with clean linens. The accommodations throughout the entire property were clean and tidy, with everything in its place.

PhilippinesMinimal things. It is a bit far from the center but totally acceptable. We got a bit scared by the monkeys in the morning of our stay because one of the monkeys seemed aggressive. But instead of ruining our day, we just considered seeing those wild animals a bonus in our stay. Like my father said, we did not have to go the zoo to see such lovely animals. We watched them from inside the closed glass door. Another thing, the pool water was not so fresh which caused some skin irritations.
It was an amazing experience. We actually transferred from another hotel from the busy Station 2 so we can also experience the other side of Boracay and the place did not fail us.

AustraliaI didn’t like the stairs as its hard to get up most especially if you have elders with you. We didn’t use the TV.
The place is so nice, peaceful, quiet & relaxing. The LOFT room kids loved it so much, perfect for young family as the room is located at 3rd floor of the Building just stairs, no lift available. Good for workout 😊😊😊. If ever i’m to comeback in Boracay, i will stay here again. Highly recommended and the staff is very helpful and accommodating.

United Arab EmiratesFor me the problem was the bedsheets. It was pretty basic, and rough. Also i didnt like the hotel itself as it was full of Chinese, Korean guests. So we felt a bit odd there. Also keep in mind that this is a little distance to other stations. And do not pay more than 150 to go to city center! Also then leaving hotel, tuc tuc only via hotel. so more expensive. otherwise will have to go very sloppy hill down to try to catch one. Which might will take a long time :)
This property is perfect for someone who has more people to stay. Its very spacious. And actually is very cool compared what’s available within this price range. There is great pool, and views from Balcony as well. plenty AC. fridge cooking stuff etc. The lady whom arranged access was super super helpful. Which is great for someone visiting first time in Borocay.
