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.).

PhilippinesA strategic jump-off location for the Gigantes islands tour with clean rooms, safe parking, and accommodating hosts. They also offer the joiners' island tour which allowed us the convenience of one-stop booking.

The lady who runs the place is only interested in your money that include the ride to the airport charging over £60 + this was diclined. And the with a bit of changing of buses cost 750 peso plus tips all in... The islands of gigantes a 5 stop tour.. The main island is full of rubbish and plastic and the food we wer offered was poor not worth the 1000 per person the other 4 wer nice

AustraliaI was not expecting it to be a cramped place. A bit more to fully furnish the rooms. You can smell the smell of fish coming from the port in some rooms, a nice built in freshener would be good.
If you are staying overnight only, without kids, and for the purpose of island hopping: the location is good. The staffs and the owners are very accomodating and very pleasant.

PhilippinesThe restaurants nearby close very early
Good budget place located very near the port -- just walk for 1-2 mins and you're there! My family stayed here for 2 nights. We originally booked Ludy's 1, but we were offered to transfer to Ludy's 2 the next day since there was an event with lots of very loud music. We really appreciate that we were given the chance to move as it gave us a more quiet and comfortable sleep. All the rooms we stayed in are tidy and comfortable. The bathrooms were clean and there was wifi. It's strong in some areas but you have 2-3 options to connect to. Note that this is a budget place, but it is an affordable option very near to the port. You get to save on the transpo since you can just walk to the port for your island hopping/tour. One thing to note apart from its location is how the manager/owner, Ms. Malou is very accommodating and very helpful in all your needs. She also checked on us and advised us where to eat even to the point of offering to talk to resto owners to reopen so we can eat. I also saw her helping out one of her foreign guests in ordering dinner. The other staff were also helpful and provided us some advice when we had some questions. They also arranged our tours and everything was smooth. Didn't experience any hassle and we just enjoyed the whole tour and spending time in the different islands.
