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 StatesAn AC in the living room would have been a bonus. Although there were 3 fans in the area that helped.
Your caretaker Roy is the best. He offered help with navigating the area ( little stores and restaurants) and hooking us up with the local ETrike service.

United StatesSuggestion: include the local contact info on Booking.com. Our driver had a hard time finding the villa, "booking" had just the international phone number. Maybe also written direction clue like "turn left on "Nona's..."...
It's a hop and a skip away from Diniwid beach. It's also away from D'mall and all the congestion and noise that came with it. We have three senior citizens with us and getting around the house was not an issue. the towns folks are very nice indeed. Roy, is awesome!! I hope Franky gives him a good pay raise!!

I loved everything about the property. The property manager and host (franky and Roy) were very helpful and accommodating. Roy helped a lot with our needs and answered all of our questions if needed. Franky was helpful as well with getting us to the location from the port. This is my second time here and I wasn’t disappointed.

PhilippinesAs far as I know we enjoyed a lot :), I never noticed a single imperfection on our stay. The ants and some insects are part of the environment since the place is uphill villa surrounded by trees and other plants. It is natural for a province that there were insects as long as they are not distracting us.
I like how cheap the rate of the villa for a big family. We can also cooked and do some laundry before we come back home. It was worth a vacation stay because the surroundings were quite and far from the noise of the city. We are very relaxed and we truly enjoyed the place because that is what we wanted. We can cooked our meal and we sleep well. The place is 500 meters away from the sea shore, the sea were truly a magnificent view from the master's bedroom. Stores were near, because we love home cooked food we can easily bought ingredients from the nearby stores.

PhilippinesGoing up to the villa. It's like in the mountain.
The entire villa is perfect. What you see is what you get in the photos. All rooms have cold air-condition, very clean, complete kitchen utensils/ The owner is very responsive and kind. The cake taker is kind as well. We just had a little bit of a hard time going up and down to the villa because it's uphill.

PhilippinesNothing much but if you choose to stay here you should a lot a bit more on your budget for e-trike fares. The only downside was since the location is uphill, some of the e-trikes may not accept your ride immediately or ask for an increase in the fare.
I loved that it is kinda far from the vicinity of the stations especially if you prefer a more quiet location to relax and enjoy nature.

PhilippinesThe uphill walk from the beach back to the place could be a bit tiring and we experienced a few short term brown outs but Roy was able to get the generator going. A bit far from Dmall so be prepared to really spend on transportation :)
Roy was a great caretaker and Franky was always attentive and quick to answer any inquiry. The place allowed us to cook which saved us a few bucks.

PhilippinesIt’s a bit of challenge going bqck and forth of the property because of uphill location, and quite far if you want to spend majority of your time in white beach. Prepare to spend on your transportation on e-trike
We liked that is secluded and lots of space where you can freely move. Feels like home and you have you own vacation house Nearby mall to buy your grocery needs You can actually cook and celebrate family occasions Roy who is the caretaker will assist you on all your needs Masters bedroom has a seaview (maybe even better if the nearby resort can cut the top of the trees which is blocking the view)

IndonesiaVery expensive, not worth the money. No aircon in living room where we spent most of the time when home. Swing and slide was gone, unlike the photos that showing them there. No slippers, toiletries. Water provided had taste. Bedroom always bright during the day, curtains are partial on windows. Too noisy because of the construction next door. Booked three night and decided stay for fords night and cancel the remaining 2 nights, but their policy you have to pay 50% which is too much. So had to stay the 3 night and moved to hotel Kommono for P4,300 with rating 9.6/10 (superb). That's value for money. All in all, not recommended.
Big place, convenient, greenery, nice garden with many trees.
