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 StatesMissing amentities and could have been a little more beefed up with lawn chairs and the beach area that goes from that property line could be cleaned from seaweed. But not a deal breaker really also the tiny lizards on the walls inside. Was a sight to see. Doesn’t bother me but the girlfriend wasn’t so keen of it. Maybe seal the door jambs.
Was more of a solitude place as we both like quiet and away from the bustling crowd downtown boracay.

PhilippinesIt was a bit hard to pull the luggage from the mainstreet to the resort.. although it was a short walk, the wheels stuck into the sand hence we had to carry the luggage for a good 30 meters.. there were also dogs along the way
The place is quiet and the beach is just in front of the resort. There is a kitchen with utensils and we were able to cook the fresh catch in the nearby stores. The neighborhood was also friendly.

PhilippinesTheir was a problem with the heater on our first day and we reported the problem on the second day since we went to the famous stations and see Boracay Nightlife. At first, they told us that we need to pay for the damages but I insisted that it was not our fault that the heater is broken, because it was already faulty ever since we tried it on, the capacity of heat juts isn’t right and I am with a toddler and need the heater for my baby, but it is ok because they understand and wave the charges.
The place we stayed for 4 days and 3 nights is very exclusive, quiet and calm. A perfect place for an infant like us and we were able to cook food by ourselves and it helped us saved money.

PhilippinesThere is not much to dislike about this comfy homestay on Tambisaan beach.
A great alternative to spending all your vacation money on expensive hotels. A 4 minute walk along a sandy beach trail gets you to e-trike or e-bus transportation to all of Boracay's hot spots.

Australiano faults, loved it here
Everything was amazing. Location (beach front, 10-15 minutes ride to town), facilities, spaciousness, and above all, the staff. Andie (the hostess), and Analyn (the cleaner), are the 2 sweetest women I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. They helped me with so much and I couldn’t be more appreciative for them. They made the end of my 10 month-long trip extremely memorable and pleasant. I couldn’t recommend this stay more. You’re always in good hands with Andie and Analyn! I’ll definitely be back🥹💗extremely good value for money.

GermanyEverything’s a bit old and broken in the room but was working and good hot water etc.
Beautifully quiet beach with palme and clear water, the apartment was lovely with the little private garden and direct beach access. There is not so much tourism and mostly Filipino people living nearby, which we really liked. Staff was helpful and friendly. We enjoyed cooking and sitting on the terrace. There is a bus stop nearby so you can easily go to all the other places and beaches on the island. The laundry service was fast and fair priced. Also, the management was flexibel with our date change request as we had some problems with flight date.

PortugalNothing to dislike. We had all we needed.
Happy’s Homestay was a delight of a choice. In a quiet, beautiful and peaceful area, away from the messy crowd and yet only a few minutes away (by scooter/ tricycle) from wherever you want to be in Boracay. The beach is just outside the place, staff is friendly and helpful, the owner is a lovely lady who is kind and resourceful and Happy (youngest host) is adorable. You won’t miss a thing by staying a few minutes away from the confusion the overrated white beach is and getting the chance to mingle with locals. We loved it and are thankful for switching hotels after spending a night on the messier side of the island. Thank your for our warm and delicious pandesal first thing in the morning. Greetings from Portugal! Please tell Happy that it was a pleasure meeting her and her beautiful mum. Cintia & Diogo

PhilippinesThe peaceful side of boracay. May hot shower, you can request for stuff if your friend or family on a budget. You gotta buy your own sponge and dish soap for after use of the borrowed stuff din. Gulat ako at may pandesal kami every morning. This is the best place if you like peace, away from people sa stations, beginner sa pag gagala besides Luzon. We forgot to take pictures of the area cause we felt so at home. Everyone is so nice, comfortable, respectful and quiet.

PhilippinesThe wifi connection is very challenging but if you have mobile data or pocket wifi, then data and network signal is not a problem at all.
The staffs are all friendly and the place is really beautiful especially during sunrise. You will literally wake up with the sun rising. The free pandesal every morning is a very warm and hospitable gesture from them. It makes you feel at home and very welcomed. The little swings at the property also add beach vibes and gives you the calm feeling after touring the island. The place is also very close to Jetty port (the new Boracay port) and its so easy to find. Also transportation to the tourist spots from and to the property is very convenient.
