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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomIt was remote ( part of the charm) Which meant island tours were expensive. To get there from the airport I took 2 separate shared vans ( 250php each) You could get a private transfer for 2000php. No fridge in the room
Very romantic location- a speed boat ride to get there and each bungalow/room was private Beautiful pool and surrounding gardens Stunning views across the bay Great food at reasonable prices Very friendly welcoming staff Well appointed room - mine was a 4 poster bed and a “wet room” shower with my own private hammock and seating area outside Canoes available to use

SwitzerlandPrice of activities is quite high, higher than in Coron but then again much more efficient and less hassle to book!
Beautiful location, quaint pretty rooms and very helpful staff. Food was also good but a little pricey. Staff very welcoming and friendly, also very helpful to book excursions, island hopping, and motorbike rental.

PhilippinesThe thatch roofing in our cottage gave me a bit of an allergy.
Staff very friendly and eager to do their jobs well, owner was present, also really friendly and hands-on with management, food was great and worth the steep climb from the hotel wharf. I'd eat here even if I was staying elsewhere. Resort is located near several fascinating wrecks, and five minutes away from Gunter's Dive shop, the pioneer and specialist in Coron wreck dives. Breath-taking sunsets. We liked our experience so much, we extended for three more nights.

FranceThis place is a hidden gem, a good standalone reason to come back to the Philippines! Breathtaking view, amazing cocktails and food, nice people, amazing view from the room (we had the one on top with 360 view on the ocean and the bay). We ended up extending our stay… we will definitely come back.

SpainNot really a problem but the arrival procedure and communication could have been clearer including options for hotel pickup etc.
The hotel is excellent, the staff are super helpful, friendly and remember the smallest details. The rooms are clean and the views from the room and from the pool area are awesome. There’s a good choice of food and we stayed for every meal whilst we were there and enjoyed them all. A really exceptional place to disconnect.

HungaryI can only mention some really small things to consider: the way up can be quite a struggle for some people. The bathroom doesn’t have a door, which did not bother us but it might be weird to adjust to for some people. For food your only option is the restaurant, which was good but of course not the cheapest. (The breakfast options are great though). And this did not bother us because we had our own scooter but we heard their shuttle and bike rental services are quite overpriced so better to have your own vehicle ☺️
This was the best room I have ever stayed at in my entire LIFE. Not just the best stay in the Philippines (which it was, by far) but also overall just WOW. You can get there by boat which in itself is very unique, and after you climb up the stairs they greet you with a smile and a welcome drink, and the views, oh THE VIEWS. Out of a fairytale. The fact that the room had no glass window, you were part of the outside, feeling the breeze. Laying on the bed seeing the see, palm leaves and the sky: it truly felt like we were in heaven. The pool with the views, happy hour cocktails for cheap, some great daytrips. Our whole stay was perfect, like a dream, thank you!

ChinaAl faro facilities and the team are exceptional. The location is secluded and private (and requires a short boat ride to get there) offering private accommodation with exceptional bay sunset views, a super relaxing pool area and fantastic food. You do not need to leave for anything - everything is taken care of and can be arranged. Activities on offer are arranged with simplicity in mind and include everything from scooters, to kayaks, to diving, to snorkeling and more. The service is outstanding and the people are incredible.

United KingdomGlass was allowed around the pool which was a bit of a concern - if a breakage happened and the area had to be closed for cleaning, there any really anywhere else to go.
Fabulous location with panoramic views. The accommodation was unique and comfortable - there was open air but the bed did have a mosquito net, so no problems there. No a/c but the fans and breeze through the open windows was enough. The climb from the dock to reception is pretty challenging but a small price to pay for the location and views! Fabulous massages too!

United KingdomAs the rooms are all open, there are no windows, every living creature that is capable, can get in. The rooms are crawling with insects, so be prepared for that!!
This place is just incredible!! We got a van that took us to a boat, then you go on the boat to reach the resort. It is so peaceful and such a beautiful place. The views from the rooms and the restaurant are stunning. The staff are very helpful and friendly, they are waiting for you at reception when you arrive to greet you and give you a refreshing drink. Be prepared though.....it is a steep climb up from the boat to the hotel, you need to be reasonably fit to cope with the constant going up and down the hill.

Al Faro is the most incredible place to stay. It feels almost other worldly. From the moment you arrive you are greeted by the amazing crew who work there who are warm, friendly and go above and beyond. You are right beside nature with beautiful views and I wonderful opportunities to explore the area.
