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.).

GermanyThe only thing you should be aware of is that the location is a little outside of the main town. We did walk to the town which is like 25 mins but with the heat it’s really uncomfortable so the next times we took a scooter or hired a trycical.
We really enjoyed our time here! The staff is incredibly nice and as there are not many rooms they take really good care of you without it being uncomfortable! We even met the owners and had a nice chat with them. The rooms are very cute and the outside bathroom is beautiful. Everything was clean and well maintained. They help you arrange activities and in the evening you can ask for a movie night or bonefire night which was sooo romantic and you don’t have to pay anything ;). They don’t have a restaurant but offer a few snacks and stuff that will definitely be enough. The breakfast was the best we had! Sooo good!

United Kingdom30 minute walk from the centre of Moalboal but would be much faster with a bike. As we are out in nature there are lots of animal noises such as stray dogs barking through the night.
Very clean property and the accommodation was so comfortable. Beautiful surroundings and communal area. Delicious breakfast and staff were great.

My husband and I started off our honeymoon here and of the 5 places we stayed at in the Philippines, this was by far our favorite. The location is a bit of a walk from the town but we loved that since it meant it was quiet and secluded. We rented a scooter from them so the distance didn't matter to us. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay there special. The breakfast was delicious. We loved all the touches like the gardens and the hammocks everywhere that made it truely feel like paradise. The fire pit and outdoor movie screen we could use was an extra touch I haven't seen anywhere else.

PhilippinesNitpicks: - fans are too industrial-like (noisy and blowing too much) - had to ask for an extra blanket (the one provided was too thin and small) - bathroom rug was missing (we had to use one of our towels) - very limited breakfast options for long-term guests
We recently had the pleasure of staying at Tongo Hills Cottages, and were blown away by this hidden gem. From the incredible mountain views to the warm hospitality (Zenia, Rosalie, Ate Marcel, the owners-Caroline...everyone!), our time at Tongo exceeded every expectation. We stayed in one of the cozy bahay kubos 'Adelfa', which featured beautiful native hardwood details, bamboo decor, and luxurious modern amenities like WiFi and hot shower. The room was spotless and the beds were surprisingly comfortable despite being small (my partner is Dutch). We also loved the cute attention to detail and add ons like: locally-made soap&shampoo bars, movie & bonfire nights.

A lovely property in the middle of nature!!! The staff had thought of everything, if it wasn’t available in your room it was in the shared area. Particularly loved the coffee you could help yourself too! Staff were very friendly and helped us book all the tours we were after. I’d also now like my own outdoor bathroom!

United StatesThe only recommendations I can give is cut small bamboo slates to cover the bathroom sink shelf so you have a place to put your items in the bathroom of my room. Other then that everything was perfect! Just far enough away from town you can just chill and relax without the traffic.
I love to stay here with the bathrooms built the way they are. It's like you are taking a shower in the jungle. Plus the staff is very nice and accommodating! And this is close enough to JJ's restraunt you can walk there and home after.

CanadaThe excursions that they offer are significantly higher than what you can find in town, for us this was double in some cases. When we brought it up to them they didn’t offer any solutions - just said the price is what it is. We paid a lot for airport pick up and when we arrived the pick up wasn’t there. We got in contact with the property and it took them ages to get back to us and locate the driver
Beautiful cottages and lovely outdoor bathrooms
