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 KingdomIn general we felt like everything was a little bit more expensive booking through the hotel than elsewhere (ie motorbike, transfer)
We loved our stay here - the bungalows were clean & modern and the pool was amazing. The location was also great, just up from the main restaurants & shops so it always felt chilled. Also one of the best sunset spots on the island! Staff were also lovely.

United Arab EmiratesMobile phone connection was not good, there might not be any nearby cell site. But you can just use the internet instead.
The staff were lovely, very polite and accommodating. The villa is very spacious, it has its' own kitchen with complete amenities and the villa has ample space for our large luggage. When not cooking, we ate at the restaurant. Food was great and reasonably priced. Internet in the resort was fast - at the villas, restaurant and even at the pool. Pool was so lovely, we took a swim almost every day considering the warm weather in the Philippines. It was so peaceful and quiet in the resort, a perfect place to rest and unwind.

United KingdomNot so much a ‘didn’t like’ but it is on a hillside without full tarmac roads. You’d need to be familiar with a scooter and take your time getting up and down, otherwise rely on tricycles. Absolutely worth it though.
South Mountain Resort was lovely. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay and couldn’t have asked for more help. The pool was stunning and the rooms were modern. A lot of effort and care has been given to maintaining these to a high standard and it shows. Peter (the owner) is super friendly and dropped us at the ferry port after our stay had ended. Special shoutout to Jed. Would recommend!

Hong KongJust be aware that it is not walking distance to other resto or bars, which was good for us, so you will need to hire a motor bike or book a car.
Set in the highland which was very serene and relaxing. Great pool for chilling at end of day plus good cocktails at bar. Room was large and comfortable.

AustraliaWe had an amazing experience at South Mountain. First off we decided not to get the transfer offered by the accom. However as the port we were arriving to changed we were now further away. When we arrived there company vehicles were there waiting to pick up some other guests. The owners kindly allowed us to get the transfer as we would have been stuck. Speaks volumes about the type of owners they are. The accommodation from the facilities to the pool and to the staff were amazing. The staff were so friendly and kind and would go above and beyond. A particular shout out to Jed who was an absolute legend. Don’t think twice about booking this place as the owners are fantastic people who genuinely have your best interest in mind.

United KingdomIt’s perfect for a peaceful getaway. But as someone who can’t drive we found it hard to hail a tricycle (you’d have to ask the staff to book someone to take you down). Local tricycle drivers will consider the hotel’s mountain location a “special trip” and charge more than average. My only feedback to management is to consider a shuttle service to the main road in San Juan.
The infinity pool has a sunset view. Loved the bungalow itself: it was clean, spacious and well furnished. Hot water with good water pressure. Great internet for people who work remotely (averaged 12MB download; the best island internet we’ve seen). Staff were super helpful. Resort also had scooters to rent on site. Restaurant has delicious European and Filipino options.

FranceSouth Mountain Resort is definitely one of the best resorts to stay at on the island. Great location near the center of San Juan with a beautiful view. The room was big and clean. The mattress and pillows were very comfortable so we slept really well during our stay. The staff and the owner were all very nice and friendly. And the pool is amazing. On top of all, their WIFI works very well so we didn't have a problem to work before exploring the island. I definitely recommend this resort for the comfort, service, location and the amenities.

Mountain location makes for cooler temperatures and remarkable sunsets. Love the staff and the owners of South Mountain Resort. They make guests feel welcome, secure, and comfortable. The cabanas are perfect to create a personalized experience while the welcoming dining area and pool are wonderful assess to have while experiencing Siquijor.
