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.).

Hong KongIt was not the resort’s problem but the electricity went off a couple of times during our stay.
The location is good, right on Sabang bay and very close to the market, easy to get around. Our room is big and has a balcony where we could hang things to dry.

The disappointing thing was that, though i payed for breakfast included, because of staffing issues, breakfast was not provided, nor was any refund offered.

United StatesUpper floor and restaurant access involves dangerous steep stairs. Rooftop swimming pool is not accessible for handicap. Sabang Beach has been destroyed by a concrete seawall project. No sand and nobody swimming or sunbathing. Boats for island hopping and snorkel and scuba is nearly impossible for moderately disabled tourists so popular with Koreans that there are few other dining options.
I walk using rollator for balance, so a few stairs are ok and I was comfortable using the ground floor room. Somebody in wheelchair would not do well here. Nice TV, decent internet, cold aircon. This hotel is pretty basic as expected for price. Staff very helpful and friendly. The steak house is top notch.

AustraliaI’ve stayed at Papa Fred’s several times in various rooms. I don’t have any major issues except there could be more places to put/hang things. A line for hanging towels, wet rashies etc, shelves for toiletries etc. Also the two rooms directly at the front often have people milling about and their talking penetrates the room, which some might find a little annoying, but it’s not a big deal.
The location is great for all the dive shops and various other things on offer in Sabang. So close and the newly constructed “esplanade” makes walking to/from much easier now. Rooms are basic but comfortable and clean. The property has a generator which is essential in Sabang (brown outs). Food at the restaurant is tasty with a nice outlook over the water. Staff are friendly.
