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.).

Friendly and always available staff. 2-minute walk from beautiful and quite Diniwid beach, away from the busy White Sand Beach. The hotel sits at the end of Diniwid Rd, where there always tricycles and scooters available should you need a ride somewhere. Breakfast was great. Highly recommend this hotel if you're looking for a quiet getaway in an idyllic setting.

United StatesThere is/was absolutely nothing to complain about.
Outstanding property. Great value for the cost. I love the attention to detail from the staff to the rooms to the breakfast. Breakfast with 4 options and enough to get you going for the day. Property is steps away from the beach (Less than 2-3 min walk). Staff were amazing. The rooms were excellent and as shown online. I was extremely comfortable and really enjoyed my time in Boracay and most of all at Sulu Sea Boutique Hotel. Hosta were very kind and eager to share any / all information about Boracay. This is definitely a gem in Boracay.

Sulu Sea Boutique Hotel is a wonderful property with wonderful management and staff. Property was just steps away from a beautiful beach and also a couple great bars and restaurants. Breakfast was good and filling. Rooms were just as shown online and everything worked well. Air condition was an added plus to the room. Great stay, nice property and an opportunity to catch up on some rest. Extra kudos to the wonderful staff at Sulu Sea Boutique Hotel.

United StatesThere were, of course, some less pleasant moments: First, and perhaps most importantly, a design flaw meant water did not drain properly into the sewer, creating a pond after every shower. With my condition, this was deadly. I spent the first night just thinking about that puddle. The hotel is home to 3 dogs on a permanent basis. Dogs smell. I think you can guess the rest. My room was downstairs. It had no window, only a door to the garden. So, if I wanted sunlight, I had to open the curtains, and everyone walking through the garden could see inside my room. Lack of privacy and light. Every day, the room above me moved furniture and woke me up. Also unpleasant. I asked guys to refill the shower gel in the bathroom couple of times from day 2, but they never did until the end of my stay. I didn't want to remind them again.
Choosing this hotel was a brilliant idea! I even extended my stay there. First off, the beach is just a few minutes walk away, a nice beach and not as noisy as White Beach. If it's your first time in the Philippines, like it was for mine, definitely go for it. Taxis are readily available at the corner, ready to take you wherever you need. You can also walk to White Beach. VERY CLEAN! Believe me, with my OCD, I'm telling you, it's very clean. Daily cleaning is provided, just remember to remind them. The bed is comfortable. Laundry service available as well. The staff is extremely friendly. After Thailand, I was quite surprised that it could be like this. I can say that this is one of the best places I've stayed during my entire time in the Philippines. I didn't eat at the restaurant, so I can't comment on the food.

FranceEverything. The room is big and clean and it's very close to two very beautiful beaches (by walking distance). There are tricycles as well just at 1 minute (or less) from the hotel, so you can easily explore the island. The hotel is well maintained and very calm so ideal to rest and recharge. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. We loved our conversations with the owner and she was very keen to help us. My son loved the cute dogs. Overall, a very nice stay and we'll gladly come back!

GermanyI only have two things to complain of: I was asking to book me a transfer from the airport to the hotel around 4 weeks before my trip. But when i arrived, the southwest company who is doing the transfer had no booking at all for me. It was embarrassing and annoying for me. In the end it was super simple to do my own booking at the airport, but please do not offer to book a transfer if you do not do it in the end. Second complain: In the description they say they have a restaurant/bar there, so i expected a bar/restaurant inside or at least as a part of the hotel. But that was wrong, the hotel only offers breakfast. The bar/restaurant is at the beach and does not belong to the hotel. So, please, do not mention a bar/restaurant if you do not have one at your hotel. Feels like cheating...
I stayed at the penthouse on the top floor and had a huge terrace in front of my room plus only one stairs up to the rooftop. The view is amazing, you are having a 360° view around that area. The hotel is on a hill so you can look very far. You also have a great view of the sunset from the terrace. It is also in a quite area so its best for a relaxing time. The bedroom has an ac and has the size of a normal hotel room. Bed is comfortable and you have many different lights in there. The penthouse has an additional room with a bar/kitchen, fridge and a huge dining table. Its great to stay indoors in case it is raining heavyily outside. The bathroom is super nice and big. It is very convenient, that the hotel is that close to the Diniwid beach. It is easy to walk there in two minutes. Any time i asked the staff for cleaning up or any other assistance, it was done immediately. Next time i go to Boracay i will definitely take that room again.

DenmarkOne potential consideration for future guests is that the hotel is pet-friendly. While this is great for pet lovers, those with dog allergies might want to take note. If you have sensitivities, it's advisable to inquire about the hotel's pet policy beforehand to ensure a comfortable stay.
I recently stayed at Sulu Sea Boutique Hotel and it was a fantastic experience. The staff and owners were incredibly welcoming and helpfull making my stay enjoyable. The cleanliness of the hotel was impressive, and its location added convenience to my trip. I highly recommend it for a comfortable and pleasant stay.
