How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

We enjoyed playing billiards with staff, Barako coffee at breakfast, Swedish meatballs (special order!) for dinner, the hike in the hills, the short walk down quiet back alleys to the beach. Would stay there again, no questions.

Good location along the quiet side street, but just like one minute walk to the main road (center of the local village). Beach is close; like 6 minutes walk. Room was spacious, clean and nice. There was small patio outside the room. Breakfast was big and good. The owner Victoria spent time with the customers and took good care of them. There is roof terrace where you can play pool or just relax.

Does it mean that everything is perfect... no just like home not everthing is 100% perfect... there is always something to wish for. For me a bit more softer bed (but maybe that is just my personal taste) or a little bigger bathroom would be nice.
At first Victoria's Bed & Breakfast felt like visiting family... Victoria and Johnny take about their clients as family members. - it starts already before arriving, I was contacted and was helped to get the free QR-code (to visit the island) because already 'friendly' people would do this too ... for money (300 pesos) - taxi was already arranged to pick us up! - we received an upgrade from the room... a bigger one than booked. - breakfast was fresh prepared ... just ask and it was prepared. - if a taxi was needed ... it was arranged - tips for what to do and what to visit, where to eat ... and where not!! - and the hiking through the rainforrest, absolute loved it.. thnx Victoria!! For me it felt like a home far away from home (others already said this too, but it is true), for me it was the perfect stay during my stay at Puerto Galera.

Victoria and Johnny are wonderful hosts and made our stay a memorable experience. Victoria even took my wife on a early morning hike up the nearby mountain featuring waterfalls and streams. This she said was the highlight of her stay. Johnny makes traditional Swedish meatballs, top class cheeseburgers and omelettes.. He also rigged up standby WiFi when the local server failed. We will be back for sure.

It was not the case as we were there, but I suspect it could potentially be a bit noisy whenever there is an event happening in the common areas. Even though, this might not be the noisiest place ever and all the positive aspects of the b&b make up for it anyway.
Victoria and every one at the Bed and Breakfast are making everything they can to make you feel welcome and at home. The B&B is clean and very comfortable. Moreover it is just minutes from the beach or the main road allowing anyone to enjoy pretty much everything there is to do nearby but avoiding the crowds and noise of the beachside resorts. This will remain one of my best travel experiences!

Exceptional stay at this property. If you’re looking to stay at a property that’s close enough to White Beach (5 minutes walk) and yet far enough to enjoy a quiet and relaxing ambiance, then this property is for you. The attention to detail by Victoria and her staff was superb. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome as if we’re part of their family. They also assisted us with any special requests. We highly recommend this property for all of your short or long terms stays at Puerto Galera.

The hosts Jan and Victoria made you feel welcome and at home. The staff Jessica and JR were attentive and supportive of every request. The rooftop living area had a nice open bar, pool tables and perfect mountain views to enjoy your morning coffee and a welcome chat. White beach is an easy and comfortable 3 minute walk away which we enjoyed. Tour guide Archie arranged your tour requests at the best price and with immediate and no hassle attention. Massages, manicures etc were responsive almost as immediate as your request. If you enjoy the intimacy of a truly Filipino bed and breakfast with the added touches of Jan’s European delicacies, coupled with the welcoming sincerity and passion this property has to offer, then you will really enjoy your stay here.

the room has always been clean and larger than other resorts in the area. It looks brandnew all the time.
