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.).

United StatesAmarela is a peaceful retreat away from the busy and crowded Alona beach. Our room on the second floor above the restaurant had an ocean view and was very spacious and clean. The staff was wonderful and helpful with any questions or requests. Breakfast was plentiful and we especially liked the avocado toast!

Beautiful gardens, rooms & common areas; kept amazingly clean; lovely private beach; great facilities eg snorkel sets & fins, kayaks, darts, ping point, volley ball all inclusive. Massages available on site. Easy to get to alona beach, but way more peaceful and tranquil than staying there! Library with books, dvds and board games. Can book tours through there for comparable prices. Lovely and attentive staff. Restaurant food was fantastic (def tourist prices though)! Includes buffet breakfast was great!

AustraliaWe thoroughly enjoyed our stay so much so that we really wished we could have stayed longer. It is a lovely location for beach walks. Be mindful of high and low tides if you wish to swim. It's easy to check them online, though, and the pool is great for times in between. The staff are friendly and helpful. We hired scooters for a day and a driver for another day with Kim's amazing assistance. I'm hoping to return as this has been my favourite place in the Philippines.

NetherlandsThe prices for massage, motorbike rental and food are higher compared to other resorts I stayed at.
It’s a really quiet resort, with a beautiful garden, pool and private beach. The staff is amazing and willing to help with anything. There’s a free pick up service to the ferry or airport. Breakfast is buffet style with homemade pancakes, eggs and waffles. If you’re not able to attend breakfast they make you an sandwich with fruit, boiled egg and water or juice to go. The room was spacious and clean. Daily cleaning service was provided. The food in the restaurant was really good. It’s only a 15-minute motorbike ride from the busy Alona beach.

The service and staff were excellent. They made us feel very special and family. Shout out good job Ren, Nina , Sander, Jane and the others were pretty special too. The ambiance of the resort was great, felt like we were in our Philippine vacation house! Great decor, etc.

United KingdomDelux Twin rooms advertised as corner rooms ( double aspect windows) but ours was not, although on the plus side the balcony view was better. Tour arranged via hotel with outside provider disappointing as not taken to the original Tarsier sanctuary on the itinerary and Butterfly farm had animals and reptiles in inappropriate cages.
Unique style with art depicting Filipino history and traditional wood carved features. Great pool and private beach.
