Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

PhilippinesIt was raining when we arrived so we were unable to use the pool. But that’s the reality of travelling during the rainy season.
The property is located in a beautiful and quiet municipality. It is surrounded by trees which extends all the way up the mountain at the back of the property. The owner personally welcomed us, gave us a tour and introduced us to each of the staff on the property. There was music playing on a phonograph when we arrived. The place was CLEAN. The facilities new. We especially liked the mattresses and the pillows. One small touch that I appreciated was the placement of night lights in the room and in the CR.

PhilippinesMy parents had the room with the double bed and the AC was a slightly noisy for light sleeper like my mom.
Therese is very pleasant and accommodating. She is a very passionate host/owner and she put a lot of thoughts on the designs, comfort and well-being of the guests. It is their private property but you will really feel at home and well taken care of - like when you visit your relatives in the province.

PhilippinesI feel bad when Manang and Manong have to open the gate for us even at wee hours. Perhaps remote controlled gate opener may be an option
Therese is very accommodating host, and made sure that we enjoy the most of experience in Bacnotan. I love the forest view of the room, and really quiet for us to enjoy the relaxing chirping of birds and the very green scenery around the property. The room is very nicely interior designed and well maintained. Love the room guide that provides collection of restaurants, places to visit and map that Therese has compiled.

PhilippinesI liked how homey and warm it feels once we arrived at the location. The ambiance is a must place to have, away from the loud noise of the city life. Spending a quick get-away to this magneficent place was such an experience. The photos you see on their page totally agrees with what will welcome you once you're there (it totally exceeded my expectations!!!) It was just like visiting your favorite Tita and Tito in the province with how Ms. Therese and her husband accomodate us. The helpers were all nice, too! Such a tranquil and a much needed leisure time! I just hoped we could stay there longer. But we'll surely comeback with longer stays, ofcourse :)

During our brief stay in Bacnotan, La Union on the week of 5 March 2025, we were fortunate enough to find housing at BENEDICERE bed & breakfast From the moment we parked our car inside their housing lot up to the time we left a few days later, the hospitality and the personal attention of both Ms Theresa and her husband, Mr Armando and all their assistants has been beyond expectations Everything in that place is arranged with great attention to details and with a keen sense of practicality As such, you have a residence that’s fully functional, providing great comfort and utmost satisfaction The food is simply of 5 star standard or even better. Each dish prepared with so much care and served with delicate arrangements that will make you feel like as a very special guest The whole experience was simply amazing, leaving us with a deep sense of appreciation for the beautiful place they have created To anyone looking not just for bed and breakfast but for proper hospitality, where you are treated like a guest of honor, then BENEDICERE is the place to be at And directly to you, Armando & Theresa, you are a wonderful couple doing a wonderful thing Wishing you good health, success and prosperity. Be well … God bless Vina & Stef
