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.).

United KingdomVery nice accommodation. Owners were great and couldn't have been more helpful. They went out of their way to help us arrange transport to El Nido when there was a problem with the buses (in the end we got there!). Location was great and room was comfy. Highly recommend :)

United KingdomWe had to leave!
What a beautiful place! Best accommodation we had while travelling in the Philippines. 30 sec walk to the beach, restaurants and bars. Spotlessly clean. Beautiful pool. Lovely big rooms with hot and cold water showers, black out curtains which we loved at 6am. Nice bar area, Super friendly and helpful staff. Owners were really friendly and accommodating. Helped with everything we asked for. I really hope to return. 100% recommended.

United KingdomI stayed here for 6 nights and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The cottages are literally no more than 2 minutes' walk from the beach, or if you prefer a swimming pool, that was available also, and was cleaned at least once a day whilst I was there. The owners were on sight for the duration of my stay, and were always happy to answer any questions and give travel tips if needed. The staff also were extremely friendly and helpful. Overall, I had a lovely experience and hope to return next year.

United KingdomLocated next to the beach in a quiet corner, yet still close to the center (5min walk), it couldn’t have been any better for us. We had a wonderful time. Sit back, have a coffee, and enjoy the chilled Port Barton vibe. Extra points for the friendly staff and the extremely nice owners who went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. Simple, clean and cosy place to stay with a nice pool - best in class.

This was one of the best part of our trip in Philippines. Very nice owner, lovely staff, refreshing pool and the location just fantastic. Port Barton is the best place on Palawan.

SloveniaInternet works on the porch and not in the room. Maybe the chairs on the porch could a bit more comfortable. The roads in Port Barton aren't very good, and there are many stray dogs.
We were very impressed by Port Barton. It was even nicer than expected. Sunsets and the beach were amazing. The people are very nice and the whole place had this relaxed and homie vibe. We loved the location, pool... the staff and owners were all very nice and helpful, made us feel like at home. We even extended our stay. The room and thr bathroom was more comfortable that elsewhere in Philippines. Also there was a lot of well organised furniture for very comfortable stay. Thank you for organising the last day transportation and tour for us - we managed to visit underwater river in Sabang and go to Puerto Princesa in one day.

SwitzerlandNothing!
It is a small paradise just a few meters from the beach. The owners are very concerned about the well-being of the guests and a little chat with delicious drinks for the cozy evening hours. Adventurous excursions are provided during the day. The breakfast and the coffee is also delicious. Especially with the children, since we don't have a TV and therefore the board games from the resort were used a lot. We enjoyed it very much at Rubin Resort. Thank you so much for everything. Hope to see you again very soon.
