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 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):
- 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.).

Verified reviewThe room smells good and clean! I absolutely love the bed and mattress and they have a smart tv. This hotel is super value for money and can rival other big resorts in bantayan. Location is very good. And the staff are superb, very attentive, and courteous. This will be my go to hotel for my husband and I since we visit bantayan almost 3-4x in a year. Will recommend this hotel to my family and friends.
Just no elevator. It doesn’t really bother us but if I bring my senior parents to bantayan as much as I love to book this hotel I can’t, due to my mom’s mobility issues.

Verified reviewAnahaw is a beautifully maintained mini hotel that offers comfort, cleanliness, and warm hospitality. The rooms are spacious, and the staff are exceptionally friendly and always ready to assist with a smile. While Anahaw doesn't serve lunch or dinner and offers a simple breakfast menu, its prime location makes up for it—popular restaurants like Redflag and Thai-phoon are just around the corner. You’ll also find a nearby kiosk selling delicious roasted chicken, pork belly, and some of the best fried chicken just a short walk away. For barbecue lovers, Briz BBQ is only an 8-minute stroll from Amihan, and MJ Square is also within easy walking distance. Although Anahaw doesn't offer shuttle services for pick-up or drop-off, transportation is very accessible. The hotel is just a 5-minute ride from the port via tricycle, car, or motorbike. For those looking to add a bit of adventure to their vacation, bikes, motorbikes, and even mini van are available for rent—perfect for exploring the beauty of Bantayan Island at your own pace. One of our favorite features is the rooftop—a perfect chill spot for the whole family. It’s quiet, airy, and offers a stunning view of the sea, making it an ideal place to relax and enjoy the island breeze. And for those who love to travel light, convenient laundry shops are also nearby, so you can keep your clothes fresh throughout your stay. For clealiness, excellent service and has the best location without costing you a fortune, Anahaw Seaside Inn is the best choice for you.
What we didn’t like was the bed—it’s a bit firm and might affect the sleeping position for those with back problems. The smell from the toilet can also be bothersome at times, but it usually goes away. This is somewhat expected, as the island has known septic system limitations. That said, these minor issues didn’t bother us at all. Our overall experience was so positive that these small things were easily outweighed by everything we loved about our stay.

Verified reviewStaying at Anahaw Seaside Inn wasn’t just a vacation—it was a heartfelt experience shaped by the extraordinary warmth of its staff. The location may boast beautiful seaside views, but it’s the people who made it unforgettable. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed not as a guest, but as part of their extended family. This is Filipino hospitality at its finest—sincere, gracious, and overflowing with kindness. The staff didn’t simply offer service; they offered connection. Whether it was remembering the smallest personal details or sharing stories over coffee, each interaction felt personal and deeply genuine. They made sure I was cared for in every sense, anticipating my needs before I could even speak them aloud. I was constantly struck by their thoughtfulness, from the home-cooked-style silogs to the heartfelt conversations that made me feel seen and appreciated. There’s a spirit of togetherness here—a sense that you’re not just passing through, but part of something meaningful. What sets Anahaw Seaside Inn apart isn’t just its charm or comfort. It’s the people whose smiles linger long after you’ve left, and whose warmth stays with you like a treasured memory. If you want a place that not only treats you well but welcomes you wholeheartedly, this is it.

Verified reviewWe had a wonderful time in Bantayan. I was glad that we were able to book a hotel, but, it was pricey at that time during summer. The accommodation was very good, and the staff were very friendly.
The price was too high, considering it was summer.

Verified reviewWe had a great stay at Anahaw Seaside Inn! The building is new, and all the facilities are very clean and well-maintained. The location is excellent—just a short walk to the beach and close to plenty of restaurants. There are also lots of tricycles parked right outside the inn, which made it super convenient to get around. Breakfast was delicious and offered a good variety each morning. Most importantly, the staff were all incredibly nice and helpful throughout our stay. Their warm hospitality made a big difference. Highly recommended!
There are a few areas that could be improved. There was no place to hang wet clothes after swimming, which would have been helpful given the beachside location. The toilet seat was also a bit inconvenient as it closes too quickly—even while still in use. Additionally, while mugs are provided in the room, there were no spoons, which made it a bit tricky to prepare coffee or other hot drinks.
Thank you for your feedback, our valued guest. We are looking forward to serving you in the future again.
