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.).

PhilippinesIf you are working nights on your trip, best to bring a work lamp and a regular sim for data. The lights were too dim for reading and sketching at night. Although it didn't bother us since we actually got to sleep earlier - great for recharging!
We highly appreciate that the owner recommended our transfer to a bigger unit. The bigger apartment was spacious with a beautiful mountain view. We love that we were able to birdwatch early morning while enjoying coffee. It's very close to the forest and encounters with its natural inhabitants are part of its charm. Tucked away from the crowded wharf -where most tourist accommodations are. This place is a gem and we got to explore more than the underground river. We'd stay longer if we could.

The location of the property is beautiful. You really are in the middle of the nature. The cottage was simple but comfortable and exactly what I was looking for - peace and nature. You hear the sounds of the nature (geckos, birds, monkeys) during the day and at night (geckos chasing each other on top of the roof) so maybe if someone is easily scared it is not for them haha. The owner and the staff were very friendly. I ordered dinner and breakfast which were tasty. In summary I loved my stay there and would happily stay again. Thank you Bambua!

AustraliaIf you think you would enjoy a rustic stay in the Sabang jungle you will love it. If you are expecting all the bells and whistles of 5 star maybe book somewhere else.
We loved everything about this place, the accommodation, the food, the beautiful jungle environment and the friendliness of Andreas and his family.

AustraliaSabang is a gem yet to be fully appreciated, and the owner, Andre, and his family, are some of the few that have fully seen its potential and made an incredible space for travellers like me. It's homely, it's close to nature, it's familial, and it's affordable. Sabang is glorious and this is the place to be, for whatever you need, breakfast, dinner, some washing, they'll do it for you while you take in the Underground River and the incredible beaches that surround it. Thanks to the whole family!

BelgiumBambua is really in the middle of nature and the loveliest place to stay in Sabang. Andreas and his family took good care of us and helped us with our activities - the underground river tour, a jungle trek and transportation to Sabang. The beach is less than 10 minutes walk from the house. We can only recommend Bambua! Please note that since the house is in the nature, you will hear different animals during the night, so make sure to bring ear plugs ;)

Sri LankaThat we had to leave. We only had time to stay for one night and could definitely have done more.
Everything about this place was great. We ended up booking the apartment as whilst our Internet went in and out the double room got booked. It was obviously a bit more expensive but was so worth it. So many fantastic features. So much space. So well decorated. Was just great. One of our favourite places to stay in the Philippines. The view from the balcony was amazing. Loved it. Didn't want to leave

Beautiful place in the greenery. We really enjoyed our 3 day stay at Bambua. They were also able to cook delicious vegetarian food for us and the two cats are just lovely (don't feed them, they get enough food).
