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.).

SingaporeWe had a very nice stay here. I liked the "traditional" architechture they have going on, feels very "summer vacation". Relatively near to everything, but would recommend getting a bike for convenience. Staff was very friendly, they also helped us book some tours and transports.

United KingdomAll was perfect.
This hotel exceed our expectation. It's located 10 min walk from crouded city center and 15 min from Alona Beach which is far enough to spend time in calm environment but close enough to reach all attraction by foot. Positive surprise was free transfer to the Beach. Very good food and drinks in hotel restaurant. Super friendly and supportive stuff. Rooms clean, comfortable and well equiped. We had very plesent stay there.

United KingdomWas too far to walk to the main area, so reliant on trikes or scooter rental. The rooms and pool are good but nothing amazing.
The staff here are some of the most friendly and helpful staff during our travels throughout the Philippines. They are genuinely lovely people. They even make you a little pack-up bag for breakfast if you go on an early tour! Speaking of tours, you can pay for tours at reception and both times resulted in us getting private tours for cheaper than the group tours were selling for online and in Alona. The drinks were nice and well priced. There's a really nice, chill vibe with the other guests sitting in the bar/pool area so it feels very calm. They organise very cheap trikes for you to get to the nearby town too!

AustraliaThere are a few roosters around.....
The pool was amazing, and the staff were very helpful to the point of arranging forgotten property to get to the airport on time! The rooms are clean and comfortable and you can organise all activities when you arrive through the front desk. 10 mins walk to alona, which is the main touristy area or a 2 kin toktok ride.

Everything was perfect ! Really calm and relaxing place at human size. Close to the center (approximately 10 minutes of walking). The room was clean and confortable for 3 with a nice balcony. The pool was a real pleasure. Breakfast was good and diverse you could choose between several options. Above all, I would like to stress the kindness of the staff. They were really reactive when we had a problem and they also organised an island hoping tour for us ! I would definitely recommend

CanadaThe road leading to the hotel is not nice. Also, the dogs. There were lots of stray dogs who fought loudly with one another night after night. It seems like there was a kennel or something behind the hotel.
Staff were really nice and really made our stay enjoyable. The pools were very clean and so was the rest of the hotel. Food was pretty good too! We were surprised because it was such a small kitchen but the food was good and they had great happy hour specials.
