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.).

PhilippinesThere was a bit of a power problem but the owner was able to address our concern.
Everything inside the room was too much for the price. We liked how there were a lot of amenities for us to enjoy our first visit there in Santa Fe.

JapanI’d give this place a 10 if I could. The staff are so friendly and pleasant. Check in time is at 2 but they let us in at 1PM. They’ve prepared so many things at the guests disposal including drinking water and even ice. It was so much better than I expected. We’ve also met the owner, I think he’s British. He’s really nice :)

PhilippinesThey need to update the catalog/lists as it is a bit outdated. At first we thought they are offering breakfast but we we're informed that it is not available anymore. Perhaps if they can have an in house restaurant or just include mobile numbers of the nearby restaurants available for delivery. Also there are drivers not too familiar with the location of Marino that we ended up using google map. The signage is not visible and there is not enough lighting at night.
Marino is one of the most convenient place to stay in Sta Fe. Upon entering the property, you will be greeted by friendly dogs and the check in/out is very smooth as you no longer need to fill in forms or anything nor need to pay for security deposit. They will just hand you the access card to your room and that's it. The studio is very spacious with complete basic amenities. I didn't see any sofas in the picture when we booked this but fortunately we had it in our room. They provided free 5 gallons of water which is very convenient. The room has a sort of catalog about the house rules and basic information for tourists in Bantayan. The place is not beachfront but it will only take you a couple of minutes to go to the beach. We availed the their laundry service for a small fee and there is also an option to cook your food in the shared kitchen. Also we rarely see the owners of the place but the staff/driver "Taxi" is very accommodating.
