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.).

Great service from start to finish! The owners and staff are amazing, always accommodating and helpful. A/C unit is sufficient for our needs, and helped us get respite from the heat and humidity outside. Free transportation on their spacious van to and from the airport; although it wasn’t far it saved us from lugging our bags around the streets. Sumptuous meals served promptly satisfied our family of 6 adults. Free WiFi which is very important for our family. Lastly, the nightly rate was reasonable for the service, accommodation, and food provided. When in Basco, this hometel is very highly recommended. We will be back soon!

United StatesI wished the wifi would be a bit stronger but that's very understandable because we are on an island at the most northernmost part of the Philippines
The property owner went above and beyond to ensure that we had a grand time at Batanes. He booked us an authentic Batanes dinner, hooked us up with the best tour guides and picked us up on time at the airport and ensured to drop us off also on time on our way back to Manila. He is also smiling and ready to serve anytime needed. I would definitely come back to this hometel and would highly recommend to family and friends visiting Batanes.

PhilippinesBaletin Hometel is located near the airport, plaza and lots of other establishments like mini marts or eatery. The rates are affordable considering that the rooms are clean, towels, hangers and shampoo are provided for. It also includes free breakfast already for the number of nights that we were staying. What stands out the most is the quality of the service and kind accommodation of the owners. They are very humble and most attentive to your needs. Baletin Hometel feels like home with how the owners and the rest of the guests greet each other good morning and make random chats. Sir Bert will personally pick you up from the airport upon your arrival and bring you to the airport for your departure. Both are kind enough to prepare and arrange the pasalubong that we brought back home. Dios Mamajes, Sir Bert and Ms Julia!

PhilippinesMaybe it's just the season but there were little ants on the walls and sometimes they go to the bed and towel.
Breakfast is good, they serve it at the time you need it especially if you have a scheduled tour. Location is very convenient and walkable from the town proper, just use Google maps to find your way at first. Hometel staff and owners are very hospitable, communication network was down at the time of my visit and there was no way of contacting a passenger tricycle so I was brought to my destination using the property's tourist tricy.
