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.).

PhilippinesMuch better if the room has air conditioning. Pricey food. The trash bin was not cleaned when we arrived from the previous occupants with cigarettes and mango fruits. The beachfront is not well maintained. Need more trash bin within the area specially at the beach front.
Super quite place. If you want to relax, Amami beach is a good choice. The Staff is very accommodating. The food is delicious. If you can drive a motorcycle, you can rent it to them to do a DIY inland tour or explore the Puerto Galera.

PhilippinesLocation of the villa is far from the main beach resort. 5mins away if you will walk. It is so hard to call the hotel attendant, I need to call via mobile then they will inform the hotel attendant to assist us but it takes so much time. Not air conditioned room. It says on the posting that it is air conditioned but there is fan only. No complimentary water and glass to use. Not secured. No security guard on the main gate of the villa and on the gate of the beach. Anyone can enter the gate. Beach is swimmable but it is not white sand. Don’t expect too much on the beach because it is with stones not white sand.

United StatesThe villa was right on the beach, a nice breeze kept it comfy in there since there was no AC. The crew around the facility was present and helpful when needed. Locals will be walking the beach and offering tours to waterfalls, massages, and boat trips to beaches not accessible by vehicles. I would recommend taking advantage of all these. We enjoyed our time there and even extended our stay.

CanadaSome of the AC doesn't work at the time of my stay. The included breakfast that I paid for was inconsistent. When we order two eggs and toast in their menu. They only give me one.... and says the included breakfast which I paid extra for only comes with one egg. Lol... I had to buy few more eggs for my son and myself. We tried to skip the paid breakfast cause their menu is very limited anyways.
Private, beach front. The caretaker, Danica, very kind and accommodating. Had the best massage at this resort. With Heidi. Some fisherman sells you their fresh catch at the beach in some mornings which was perfect as this villa includes shared kitchen. Bought a couple of times and had the freshest fish. Lol

United StatesThe bungalow is a 5-10 minute walk from the main property and a 10-minute drive from White Beach which is where the nearest restaurants and shops are located. No wifi (a blessing and curse). Restaurant had a limited menu when we visited.
The location, next to the ocean, is ideal. Quite surroundings, and friendly and helpful staff.

GermanyIf you stay in a little house on one property with the villa - you still don’t have access to the kitchen I Mathe Villa. Even though it states that it’s a “community kitchen” It would have been helpful if we would have known before our stay.
The property is great. We stayed in the little bamboo house right at the beach, its basic but a great place to be by yourself. It’s quiet, right at the beach, not touristy, great hosts that do everything to make your stay enjoyable.

ThailandI liked the simple and basic bungalow. Some people may not like it. Choose before you go. Villa? Or bungalow? VIlla? Or bunglow?? ..choices..choices!
This review is for the bungalow only. The bungalow is very simple, facing east. Basic built out of bamboo/wood. It has 2 floors, with a rerrace on each floor. Sit and listen to the waves..enjoy the view. No TV, no AC, fan only. It has a hot water shower, a small fridge, and a kettle.The bungalow is on the beach. 30 feet away from the waves. Go out on the sand after 10 ft walk.!! Gorgeous setting. At night, watch the fishermen go out fishing. If the tide is low, you can walk to White Beach. There are small grocery places up the road, baked goods place to the left as you go out, and small food place to the right. Of course, Amami has its own restaurant a bit away. There are mosquitoes nets on the beds, but take mosquitoes repellent before you go. If the simple stay doesn't suit you, book a room in the villa on the same property behind the bungalow. It has much better/good amenities with the same views. There is an excellent facilities caretaker on the grounds. It is overall very good place and I highly recommend it.

PhilippinesThe beginning of the ramp going down to their parking spot was too high and scratched the underside of our Innova. They explained that it was to keep the water out when it rains. We think the car is still okay but it would be nice if they put two ramps for the tires to help vehicles avoid that steep part. There were some sea urchins on the beach. Good thing some of us brought goggles. It wasn't all that bad because they were only at the rocky parts and they were pretty to look at together with the various corals, fish, and seaweeds. We just made sure to avoid them and that was so easy because the water was perfectly clear. We still enjoyed the beach and would go back. They could also improve the bedding and towels. Some looked old and needed replacing.
We liked the style and the spaciousness of the villa.The living room and the veranda were great spots to lounge and relax together. It was definitely a plus that the rooms were all soundproof. The kitchen and their fridge was also big enough. Their kitchen was close to complete. We only needed to bring our own big knife, condiments, ingredients, and our espresso machine. It was a great idea to rent out all of the three rooms to have the whole villa for ourselves. What we liked the most was the location. Definitely no oil spill in sight. The water is perfectly clear here and smells good. It must be because the surrounding area wasn't crowded. The water was a bit murky at white beach and Luca's, but not in front of Amami Villa. So, we swam all morning until 11 AM while it was high tide. There was a good sandy stretch of beach where we mostly swam in and there were minimal rocks underneath. The rocks were smooth so it wasn't so much of a problem but they could still improve this by relocating some of the rocks and stones at the shore to reveal more of the white sand underneath. A lot of the rocks were pretty so we took some home. Danica, the in-house staff was easy to reach out to and took care of all our requests. Their villa is reasonably priced and we might go back. We also liked how Filippo helped us with our booking. Overall, it was totally worth it to spend the time to ride the ferry to reach this destination and spend a bit more to stay there for three nights.

United Arab EmiratesThe staff are difficult to reached. The resto is a bit off from our accommodation, if you request to deliver the food in the room they charged 100 pesos as delivery fee. The food serving is small. We order 4x sinigang and they deliver it in plastic, and no bowl. The bungalow doesn't have AC - pls make sure to double check before you book to avoid disappointment.
We loved the location it’s not crowded - it’s beach front property just 2 mins walk from the bungalow.

Qatari cant think of something, if i put up the amount i’ve paid, it is a good value. Well ok, the front beach was blocked by another property reason you cant see the beach direct from AMAMi resort,would be good to change some of the plumbing equipment in the bathroom as mainly the shower heads, the room i stayed there was cozy, just the shower functionality and water pressure has to be checked. In AMAMI villa, it definitely needs some exterior decorating like hanging lights on the trees, would make the place more pleasing at night and makes u want to stay outside. Nothing to complain that made our stay uncomfy,
The Staff are brilliant! Jam, thank you for your warm welcome and hospitality and Hem, 😁 of course the amami beach resort staff, Tin who made my perfect margarita, jaz for my lovely mango mojito. the food was amazing! my son loved all the food we ordered.. thank you to amami villa staff Ms. Danica for preparing our room and for being comfortable with me, i felt like we knew each other for long time😃 cant name all the staff who has been wonderful during our stay.
