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.).

Excellent resort property. Nice landscaped/gated property within a few minutes walk to the beach or the main road to explore the island. For me, it was a perfect location of close to things, but quiet and very comfortable. Great restaurant and breakfast. Perfect pool as well. Good wifi, AC and the room was wonderfully comfortable. Very nice staff and always helpful as needed. You are located at the north end of White beach so its nice, more peaceful and more local. But easy to walk to the busier parts. I also liked to walk around the beach walk to quaint Diniwid beach. Good for sunset too. For exploring the island by road, there is a Hop on Bus stop near the resort or easy to get an etrike or motorbike taxi. I enjoyed the island and The Strand. I highly recommend this resort.

United KingdomThere was nothing to fault about the hotel.
The staff at The Strand Boutique were absolutely amazing - so kind and friendly and they couldn’t do more for us! They are the most amazing people to meet and really made our stay in Boracay. The room was spacious and very clean and we enjoyed our time around the pool area. The breakfasts were the best we had during our 2 week trip around The Philippines!

The room was lovely and the aircon was so nice. The breakfast had plenty of options and they brought you so much food! The hospitality was unmatched and they really catered for our every need. The location is perfect if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of Station 2 but still accessible with a 15-min walk down the beach.

GermanyI could complain that the restroom smelled at first, however as soon as another room was available i was allowed to change( from renovated to non renovated) this was the perfect solution and reaction by the hotel. And of course a vent system can always break, i am sure it will be fixed quick and everything is fine again.
The staff is really friendly and helpful. The rooms are huge even the outside area is nice. The pool is not used very much but perfect for a late night swim, it stays open quite late which is not common. The distance to the beach is perfect. The internet is just great which was the reason why i selected the hotel. Some rooms are already renovated some other ones not, but it is not a problem even the non renovated ones are great

RomaniaI personally loved it. Some might consider it far and would get bumped out by the fact that it's next to the cemetery, but I think it was great value for the money. It's like staying at the Shangri-la on a budget. The room was so comfortable and the surroundings very green. Almost like a jungle. The only annoying thing was the walk to the beack.It was short but very dark at night.Didn t look the nicest

The location in a tropical garden, the tranquility, the easy 2 minute walk to the beach and most important, the kindness of all employees. Special mention to Lara and the chef Ronald. Hope to come back ASAP.

Saudi ArabiaNone, experience was amazing
I enjoyed staying at this place alot, it's kinda remote location (not really remote only 5 minutes by bike from the liveliest place in the island) gave me a calming and enjoyable time, you do not hear much noises or music when you try to sleep. And the staff were AMAZING I'd say whatever this place is missing in the location department is being compensated by the amazing spacious room, good food and amazing staff. The staff would advice me daily on which to try and which to avoid while I'm riding the trycle and would give me really great insights. A special awards go to Mark he's a true hero. On my last day in the island there was an island wide electricity shutdown due to a bad wiring in one of the major electricity lines which then held all ATMs activities in the island, and due to the island relying solely on cash instead of cards I couldn't purchase a return ticket to the main-land which almost made me lose my flight. Mark then offered to loan me some cash to buy the boat ticket to catch my flight ( which he totally didn't have to at all) and then i contacted my friend to gcash it back and thanks to his big help, I managed to catch my flight on the last moment.

PhilippinesThe staff were very warm from day 1 we arrived until the time we leave the resort. Location is very good. It didn't bothered us even if it is a minute walk going to the white beach. You can feel the fresh breeze of air coming from the ocean plus the area is very cozy and surrounded by trees. Will definitely go back to this hidden gem in boracay.

GermanyThere are only some minor points that do not overshadow the excellent impression we got, but can be easily improved without much effort. The coffee in the morning is not really great. A new machine or another type of coffee could perhaps do the trick. Also, we like to drink our coffee with a lot of milk, so why not provide bigger milk cans right from the start? Fresh juice in the morning would be great. More bottled water in the rooms would also be nice. Again, nothing serious.
This is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy your vacation. The hotel is very conveniently located close to the beach, at the quiet end of White Beach, with a nice garden. Staff is wonderful, very friendly and supportive. Our room was spacious and nice. The hotel is not new, so don't expect the facilities to be ultra-modern, but everything was more than OK with regard to cleanliness as well. The staff helps with arranging activities, and provides fixes if something does not work out as planned.

United KingdomLighting could have been brighter in the bedroom/bathroom, noisy guests next door, more choice for breakfast. Buffet style, same options daily, bit underwhelming and not much choice if you don't like Filipino breakfast.
Nice garden for having meals, breakfast by the pool, 2 minute walk to the beach, 5 minutes tricycle to D Mall and station 2. Staff lovely, helpful and friendly especially Ronald the chef. The room was huge, could facilitate 4 adults easily. Was kind of self catering/boutique feel. They even provided mosquito deterrent machines in the bedroom. Very quiet, comfortable big bed, lots of room to spread your stuff about
