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.).

PhilippinesHotel food is expensive and the transportation from tambisaan to station 2 is really hard. there are habal habal if Hindi ka maarte. if nagtitipid ka you can buy food sa labas, may mga tindahan and karinderya naman.
What I like is that it is peaceful, soo quiet and windy. I love it when you wake up at 6-7 in the morning you will see beautiful scenery. May ref and unli hot water sila. during our stay, nasa station 2 kami kasi mas madaming pupuntahan.

PhilippinesNone.
Beach front, quiet, peaceful, clean and spacious rooms. We really enjoyed waking up with the white sandy beach view. The place is so serene and away from the crowds. Some might say that it is far from most bars, restaurants and other touristy establishments, but hey, Boracay is not a large Island so most places that need to be visited are within accessible distance. If you are staying here, just hire an e-trike and less than 10 minutes, you'll find yourself in the front beach (Stations 1, 2, and 3), where you can visit those touristy establishments, get drunk and go back to Marnin’s place at any time. No worries since e-trikes are everywhere. Further, Marnin's place is located in the snorkling area, so it is never hard to find nemo over and over again. Though, I grew up staying in Stations 1, 2, and 3 in all of my bora visits (during my single years) but our stay here is something else. The owners, Mark and Niña, did a great job in making sure our stay is enjoyable. From hailing e-trikes, suggesting what to do and even sharing their local contacts in booking for water sports or land activities. That is a plus for me. You might also want to taste their menu, the owners are also the cook! and finally, their room service massage. Their Masseuses are the best, I forgot their names though;

PhilippinesSince it was private, itnis quite far from long beach. But we dont mind as we usually enjoy the stay in the place rather than in Long Beach.
The place was so relaxing, you will feel the privacy comparing to Long Beach. The room assigned to us has kitchen that we can cook. We enjoyed eating our meals in their veranda. The owners and her staffs are very accommodating, lending us the kitchen tools, barbeque pit and they also installed hammock which we really love especially at night!

Philippinesnothing.
we love the place. the owners Mark and Niña were so hospitable who welcomed us personally when we arrived. although the location was far from the boracay stations, it was perfect for my family because it was very quiet and there's no crowd unlike in station 1/2. the property is beach front (literally just a few steps to the shore) and it feels like we have our own private beach... you'll only see a few locals on the beach. the room was spacious, clean with quality appliances. there is also a common area outside the room that we are able to use for the kids online class or a place to relax enjoying the fresh sea breeze. and of course, we love the yummy home cooked meals. whether you're a local or foreign tourist, you'll fall in love with this place. for years, we've been going to boracay and staying in station 1 or 2, we're so glad we discovered Marnin's. we can't wait to go back there. Thanks Mark/Niña for the wonderful stay!

PhilippinesEverything is good. Just the location. We need to ride an e-bike everytime we need to do activities, go shopping or eat lunch or dinner. But, we did expect that since it is in Tambisaan beach.
I like almost everything. Staffs are really kind and accomodating. The Rooms are clean. We're really happy and we enjoyed our stay. If we may travel back to Boracay in the future, we may stay at Marnin's again. Thank you!

AustraliaThere was no air-conditioning as it broke before we got there. We waited for the repair guy who came around 3. 2 hours in a 35 degree heat was getting really frustrating for me. It took him 5 minutes to turn it off and on. Then he said it's working now. He just left without even checking if it worked right through. He could have stayed 30 minutes at least. Then we felt the room was hot again. I could not sleep. My daughter and I slept outside. There are no open windows in the room. It's like an oven in there. Thankfully we survived the night haha. The owners did their best to make up for everything but I already booked another hotel on that night I could not sleep. We ended up leaving after an overnight stay. Maybe it was just wrong timing. If you are tough and don't like comforts you will like this place. It did not have any activities for the kids. My son went back to his addiction of video games.
The location is great for honeymooners. Very quiet and peaceful. The beach is not great for swimming as it was very rough when we were there.
