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.).

SwitzerlandThere are only a few rooms in the hotel, meaning that the staff can take care of each guest personally. Even though the hotel itself is by far one of the best we’ve seen in the Philippines, the staff was the highlight of our stay. They made sure we had everything we needed, when we needed it and organised scooters, transfers and special breakfasts for us!

United KingdomPlenty of shelves but no hangers or hooks on which to hang clothes - but really not too much of an issue when everything else is very good!
Really helpful staff - went above and beyond to make ours a special stay for my husband's birthday - decorating the room beautifully, a birthday cake, sang happy birthday! :) They also arranged a scooter, taxi, guide for the sardine run - this is a must if your are in Moalboal - fantastic experience! Breakfast was excellent, served on your patio just outside the room. Clean, bright, modern room and bathroom. Pawikan is a minute's walk from the Cebu Seaview Dive Resort, which has a restaurant and lovely bar from which you can have a cocktail or a beer and watch the lovely sunsets

NetherlandsIt’s a 10 to 15 minute walk to the city “centre”, which wasn’t a problem for us (a tricycle is also easily arranged).
Had a fantastic stay here. Room was clean, good airconditioning and nice shower. Staff members were extremely friendly and so happy to help. Really went the extra mile to arrange tours/taxi’s or whatever was requested.

United KingdomThe only downfall of the property is the slightly bumpy road in and out - but that was easily overcome with tuktuks picking us up outside.
The staff were so lovely and helpful! They made us feel very welcome. They organised our two day trips - which were both exceptional. The grounds of the hotel were beautiful and the rooms were very modern with a large bed. Breakfast is served outside your room and they were able to organise us tuktuks and airport pickup and drop off, which saved us a lot of stress when landing in Cebu! We had an incredible time - so thank you all so much for making it so special!

PolandI truly reccommend the place. The room we had was spacious, clean and comfortable. The bathroom was clean and comfortable as well. We stayed there 4 nights and every day we were warmly welcomed by great staff members. The Pawikan Boutiqe and people working there made our holiday more pleasant. Breakfasts were very delicious with tatsy shakes. It is very close to the beach with a beautiful sunset so there is no need to walk to Panagsama Beach.

AustraliaThe stay was great, nothing we didn't like :)
The staff welcomed us upon arrival and were very helpful and accommodating. Bedroom and bathroom was very clean and modern. Aircon worked well and was quiet. The walk to the main road was short however the hotel was in a private area which was nice and quiet. The next morning they made us breakfast on the porch which was so tasty. They were very helpful when we needed to contact our next hotel as well.

CanadaIf I had one thing to say, maybe the location of the hotel is a little remote from city center. Not really walkable, but it doesn’t matter, the staff can arrange transportation!
Very clean, modern and good service!!! This hotel is really nice and the staff makes the difference. They really take care of their guests. They made sure all of our requests were fulfilled and even organized a transfer from Cebu City for us. They also helped us to book one tour. The breakfast was also really good. There was a restaurant just beside the hotel and it was very nice. Nice view on the beach from there.

Philippinesit lacked a garden and trees that would make hanging out by the balcony, the bar or the hammock inviting. it's very hot without these. ang init sa balcony. even during breakfast, the sun was directly on us. add a tree. the yard looks empty. consider making it look like carl's inn in bantayan. we love it there. we didn't go out to do sightseeing because the inn was fabulous that we only wanted to stay indoors. there are some facilities that needs attention... have hangers, replace the bathroom sink faucet (the design flushes the water directly to the user to get wet)
upon check in in the room, we felt great. it was very quiet which ic exactly from we needed after the sinulog in cebu. the room is very clean, surprisingly very spacious and the staff were kind, friendly and eager to help.
