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.).

Germanythe breakfast could be w more choices. although staff also offered to give rise instead of bread. would be appreciated if there is a kayak one could use. walking from the main road to the entrance could be a bit difficult for older people or after rain. so there should certainly some improvements. water in the area is not so good anymore due to the many hotels now around you won’t enjoy swimming there anymore very much
very clean. good wifi and tv w Netflix, minibar, they even have hairdryer and water boiler etc. very friendly staff. motorbike rental just opposite the main road.

Great beach/bay view. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Bungalows are specious, clean and comfortable. Nice to walk a few minutes over the beach to find nice restaurants like Bella Vita (italian) and the Last Frontier with stunning views. El Nido is close by with a 20min walk or take a tricycle.

we liked our stay here sooo much that we were only supposed to stay two days but we extended to three more. we were treated like royalty, the staff provided excellent customer service- they took care of everything! we were situated at the beach front. the view was stunning- sunsets, boats, yachts and the water was about 5feet away during high tide, and goes way back during low tide. accesible to everything! very nice restaurants around, bella vita was a stones throw, the beaches can be reached by Kayak liek seven commando, papaya, honda beach and i think Lusong lusong beach. all by kayak! breakfast was decent! staff also provided a trike driver who waited on us but didnt demand for higher fares! 15 minutes from Maremegmeg beach where the party scene was - your choice wether u want some peace and quite or want the busy touristy beaches. other things we liked: back up generator- didnt even notice there was an electircity outage refrigerator wifi- super nice as we had to work some nights and days hot shower- works VERY well safe water- never got sick from the bottled water there nor the water they provided unique shower- may not be for everyone ( couples only) cozy and homy and romantic within kayaking distance of tour beaches or private beaches walking distance to where the tour boats start but not close enough to be noisy and crowded took care of everything from kayak to rides to water to food to tours to stor suggestions excellent customer service was not noisy at all. very relaxing location no obnoxious sellers. very respectful sellers and vendors IF they come around overall excellent stay. we will always come back here to Maligaya! special mention to Ian and Bev and our two kitchen staff and our cool driver Poy. oh they took care pf pir van transfers too! very hassle free!

AustraliaAccess from taxi drop off on main road to accommodation can be a little confusing as you walk through a local village and can be challenging for older guests or large luggages or on rainy days on slopes. Kayak hire should be free given no facilities but it perfectly ok given unlimited time hire. It can be a little noisy late at night or early in the morning as its located within / right next to a local community especially roosters haha!
Excellent for clean basic facilities with authentic beach front accommodation. Lovely friendly and very attentive staff who made the stay memorable! Living with the local community at your door steps was an experience by itself. Waking up to sound of waves, beach front sea view and friendly local Villagers, and a skip and a hop to a quick swim in clear water from your bed was awesome!

PhilippinesMaligaya only serves breakfast so if you want to grab lunch or dinner, you'll have to go someplace else. However, there are also a few restaurants near the hotel (about a 2-3 min walk by the shore) and the town is only about 5 mins away by trike. You'll also pass through a dirt path from the main road to get to the hotel entrance which can be slightly inconvenient if you plan to bring wheeled luggage.
I loved how friendly and accommodating the staff was—shoutout to Ms. Beve and Sir Ian, who graciously accommodated our extra requests! Because of their hospitality, staying at Maligaya felt like a home away from home. Aside from their service, I loved how the place itself is very quaint and secluded, which is good if you want some privacy. The beach itself isn't the best place to go swimming, but Maligaya offers kayak rentals if you'd like to explore the area more. You can also book your island hopping and land tours at the front desk, which we did and greatly enjoyed.

PhilippinesMore pamphlets or advertising on places to visit. Suggestions on where to shop. Kayak availability since there's two in the hotel. Just a word of caution: If you plan on having many large suitcases, be aware that there is a somewhat steep climb down and up into the hotel from the street.
The staff was very helpful and friendly. The room was very comfortable and clean. Everything was working well. The place is well maintained. Felt like a local which is what we liked. The things I wanted the most for a location to stay was A/C, internet, and hot water. This had all three. So perfect for what I wanted.
