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 StatesThe amount of bugs took some getting used to at night! No prob.
We were greeted by the staff when checking in even though we were a bit late. They were very thorough and helpful. You’re placed in a group chat where they respond to your requests. Keep in mind they only operate during certain hours. The villa was beautiful! Grounds were clean! Very comfortable both the room, bed, and bathroom! If you don’t like bugs or visitors (ex. Cat, dogs, frogs) then you may be a bit unhappy here. At night they would come out. We didn’t mind being that the common area was outdoors. We were mindful that the light was attracting them over and/or the food we had. They had snacks/mini bar at a cost. The location is in Tawin Tawin away from the main part of Siargao so tuk tuks were more expensive because of the location/hill. Not really a big deal for us, but might be for others who want to walk there (~20 min walk up and down a hill). We were mindful that we if we needed a tuktuk at night we’d have to walk down the hill if their tuktuk contact was unavailable. It was peaceful on the mountain top. The view was great. We did have a blackout (normal occurrence in Siargao) and they were responsive to calm our nerves since they have a generator. There is a security guard and night and he helped us with a certain bug that made it to our room hah! We used Siargao delivery to order food instead of going into town. I would 100% come back here again. Very grateful!

AustraliaThere has been a recent change in management and naturally there are a few minor teething issues, but they were addressed and it definitely wouldn’t deter from recommending the villa to any of our friends and family. Aircon in the living area downstairs would be a suggestion for a future upgrade as it can be hot, even with having all the fans on.
Mango tree was an oasis away from the busy Main Street of General Luna. The living spaces and pool area were wonderful to spend quality time with our friends. Having a freshly made breakfast delivered and set up at our villa was very luxurious. The staff and services provided a memorable stay. Louise was very accommodating and was a friendly and professional host.

United KingdomIt is genuinely difficult for me think about anything that I did not like about this villa. On the second night, my friend asked if his girlfriend and friend were able to stay and arrangements were made for this to happen with friendliness and ease. This we were very grateful for. I have stayed in a large number of different hotels and villas across many different countries but Mango Tree stands very high in this list for its beauty, cleanliness and level of hospitality from the team and is somewhere I cannot wait to return to one day.
Upon arrival my friends and I were kindly greeted by the host and reception team in a manner that we could not have been more grateful for. We were shown around the villa and were told to make ourselves as comfortable as we possible, whilst being offered a lovely complementary snack and drink. The bar was full of a range of food and drink which we had access to through payment and these were renewed after every day that we had used them. Throughout our entire stay we had contact with the hosts via WhatsApp messages, with very quick responses and through this contact we were able to book tours, motorbikes, taxis, takeaway food and have any other questions we needed answered regarding nightlife and restaurant recommendations. In the evening, a list of breakfast choices were offered to us and the following morning breakfast was freshly prepared for each of us and at different times if we each chose to awaken at separate times. My friends and I were simply blown away by this level of hospitality. On the second day of my journey I had an unfortunate accident on a motorbike but the host was extremely helpful in arranging a taxi driver to accompany me all day as I journeyed to the doctors, hospitals and pharmacies over the course of a day. Despite the inconvenience this caused me on my trip, the villa and hospitality of the host and reception team made Siargao a travel destination that will forever stand out in my mind and is now a place I am determined to return to and partly so that I can spend longer than 3 days at this villa!

AustraliaAny small issues, that always can arise, were quickly and well dealt with. So if you like a warm, personal experience, with privacy and some calm away from the hectic main town, we can't recommend spending time there enough.
We had a fantastic stay at Mango Tree. It was made most memorable by the wonderful team who worked there. They helped to ensure that we had the most fantastic time in Siargao. They organised our airport transfers and a scooter, as well as meals for us on arrival, our breakfasts, and were always on hand to offer great tips, assist with tours, massage bookings and just provide wonderful company and hospitality during our time there. We had the smaller of the two villa's, which was perfect for us. We didn't even really use the second bedroom and ensuite. The setup is great and we spent a significant time at the property, as it was such a nice place to be, which was fortunate as we had a few days of very heavy rain. When it wasn't raining, it was a great launching pad to explore and we toured the whole island. The infinity pool was brilliant, whether it was sunny or pouring - super warm and just the right size. Even when it was raining, it was such a pleasure to sit out in the communal living area, as the air temperature was still very warm. The location was only 10 minutes by scooter to General Luna and we really enjoyed being able to get back to some peace and quiet, within minutes. Breakfast was delicious! Thankyou!

United StatesI wouldn’t change anything about it. Yes there are some critters roaming around but what do you expect when you’re basically in a tropical rainforest surrounded by beautiful foliage. They don’t harm anyone anyways.
The property was amaaaaazing! I had to punch myself every morning and sunset to make sure I wasnt dreaming. The view was stunning, the interior deco was simply gorgeous and the staff is really what made this place super warm and easy to enjoy.

AustraliaOut of their control but be aware that electricity may cut out, there is a generator however.
The two story accommodation was absolutely breath-taking. We shared Mango Tree with another couple and really enjoyed the downstairs lounge area. The two bedrooms are both upstairs, both have an exceptionally large ensuite. We had a private dinner organised through reception and it was phenomanal. We decided to have a rest day and spend it in Mango Tree to enjoy the serenity. The infinity pool has a beautiful backdrop of the palm trees and provided a beautiful sunset.

Saudi ArabiaThere’s nothing however I would suggest a few remarks: Breakfast needs a bit of modification in my opinion, they’re basically the same. A bit of Mediterranean and adding other protein options would be perfect. The en-suite bathrooms need more privacy. The garden infront of the window had bald spots. Considering guests have different cultural/ religious backgrounds, comfort in privacy is very vital.
Hospitable staff, they communicate well and attends to every need/questions. I would like to thank Lolita and Mika for their services. The villa itself was beautifully built. Interior had elements that worked well together. Very therapeutic view and feeling altogether. A retreat I would say after days of tours and activities. Also, they’ve provided us other services (laundry, tricycle rides) for a cheaper rate. Overall, I enjoyed my stay with my sister. The experience was healing and nourishing. We felt safe and cared for thru out our stay. Thank you very much.

BelgiumBeautiful place to stay at. Stayed here for our last 2 days on the island and it was just perfect. Serene and calm, definitely a place to stay when you want to relax and become one with nature. On our last day we got a bit disturbed by the neighbours and their extremely loud karaoke. Other than that it was perfect. Staff was very helpful and I'm extremely grateful for all their helping me organize my proposal. Thank you again! Food delivery is even possible to the accommodation, which is a big plus!
