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.).

PortugalAt 8am they turn off the AC and the dormitory gets so hot that it's not possible to sleep. There are only 2 fans in the room for 12 beds so it's not possible to be in the room until the night since it's so hot.
The common space is great, has a pool and a kitchen to cook. Very well located

New Zealandthe staff were unfriendly and the second room was not very clean. also by virtue of the style of hut there was a pretty bad ant problem in both of our rooms. we ended up getting bitten by ants badly.
the shared area is great and location is right next to the beach (although it is not the beach front property as it appears in the photo!)

PhilippinesThere's no WiFi, and the aircon seems to need maintenance because it's not cooling the room according to how the thermostat reading suggests it. The property gives us electric fans, though, to manage the heat in the room.
The owner and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. The place is what is advertised, it is just a few steps from the beach and near to mostly everything. The pool and the patio are a perfect way to chill around mid day, where the sun strikes too hot. The roof deck is perfect for sunset watching and moon/star gazing at night. It's amazing how quiet the place where was, even though it's near the busiest part of GL.

PhilippinesI didn’t like that the AC in our room is not that cold eventhough the temperature is lowest. Also, the water has this funny smell like a rotten egg. They already explained it that the smell is because of the sulfur. It is not that harmful but we need to use a minera water to brush our teeth
I like that the location of the Resort is near the beach and establishments in General Luna.

PhilippinesThe location! It's few steps from the beach, near bars , restaurants, atms, they have pool as well.
I think this is a common feedback. The sulphuric odor of the water, which is kinda common in Siargao. I was able to tolerate it but not with others. Also, one of their dogs tried to bite my bag and doesn't like leave it (but it was fun)

United StatesReally cute concept of private bungalows but execution leaves a bit to be desired. The room was a bit dirty (perhaps from the nipa roof and untreated wooden beams shedding), the sink water had a bit of a potent sulfuric smell, and there were multiple mosquitos in the room at all times. The pool reeks of chlorine and the water is murky.
The staff is very kind, including the owner! Very helpful and responsive. The common area was fun to hang out in and it was easy to meet other travelers. You can’t beat the location as well, it’s walkable and close to everything in General Luna, but a bit removed from the main road so it’s quieter at night and it’s closer to the beach!

United Kingdomthe place is nice but the dorm. seems overcrowded and dark, with very little personal space around the bed. You do have a locker in the dorm. the plugs are so old and sometimes not working. the water constantly has this very strong smell of mixed iron? And sometimes comes out yellow - probably what I most disliked about the property.

Saudi ArabiaEven if you open/keep the shower & faucet running for minutes, the water has strong rotten egg odour (attributed to iSulfur byproduct). Adding to the problem, the exhaust hole/window is so small, dirty, and doesn't help to eliminate the foul smell of the water. It is a health hazard! There's no available hair dryer & toiletries (except for tissue) provided by the resort. The blanket is as thin as a paper that it doesn't provide any warmth. After our island hopping tour, we found our bungalow partially tidied up only - the towels not changed and trash not collected. You need to go to the reception area and follow up on such basic services. The staff seems to be more on the vacation mode than the resort guests - either chilling on the lounging spots or chitchating with other staff/resort guests.
The saving grace of Kawili resort is its location - it is along the Tourism road & near / walking distance to any establishments in General Luna.

United KingdomWifi wasn't great. Showers were pretty awful and stunk out the whole room. Pool was okay but when I stayed there it was regularly closed for cleaning and definitely wasn't the cleanest. Not much of a social vibe at all and I stayed there for a week. Met a few people but if you want more of a social vibe, definitely stay elsewhere.
The room was of decent size with good storage for bags. Beds were comfortable with having a blind on one side (they were on the way to installing more blinds when I stayed there) Toilets were nice and regularly cleaned. Staff were super helpful with recommending massage places, bike rental and any other enquiries you had. Really nice kitchenette to cook/store food during your stay. Location was very quiet and walkable to multiple bars/clubs.
