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 review1. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Despite our very late booking due to a flight cancellation, they assisted us kindly even late at night. 2. The location is about 15 minutes from the airport by van or local tricycle (tuk-tuk). 3. The hotel is peaceful and surrounded by lots of trees. The building itself is beautiful — it reminded me of a mountain chalet in Europe. After the hustle and bustle of Manila, this place felt like a peaceful retreat in nature. 4. The bed was comfortable. Unfortunately, adjusting the hot water was a bit tricky, but with the warm weather, it was still manageable. The water pressure was good. 5. The restaurant is in a separate building next door — a lovely setting with bamboo huts nestled between mango trees. Breakfast is around €5, and you just need to let them know in advance what time you’d like it. They can also bring the food to your room if needed. 6. The price is very reasonable for what you get.

Verified reviewWe loved the accommodation, the room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. We enjoyed eating at the restaurant next door, which was very affordable and in a lovely setting The staff at Kerusso Haven couldn’t have been nicer and nothing was an option inconvenience to them, they helped us get TukTuk, organised tours, helped us find our way around and organised a kayak for us to use on the mangroves. We felt very welcomed and can’t thank the staff enough for making our stay so lovely and rememberable. We would 100% stay here again when we return to Portu Princesa

Verified reviewThe location is a little remote, but that makes it better… I arrived much later than expected and the night staff was lovely, and showed me to my room - which felt like a full comfort treehouse. The walk to the restaurant, after sunset, takes a magical appearance, with small warm lights hanging in the mangroves.

Verified reviewWe felt very comfortable. It's a truly beautiful place for a fair price. The rooms are spacious and very lovingly but yet functionally furnished. Our room even had a bathtub. There is a fast internet connection, a refrigerator, and a kettle. The staff is really helpful and hospitable. On the second day, the air conditioning in our room stopped working. The owner showed up just 15 minutes later, and when the unit couldn't be fixed, we were immediately given a new room. This is a great service that is second to none. The restaurant is beautifully and romantically located in the middle of mangroves. Since the paths are a bit long, it takes some patience. And I couldn't say that the food is outstanding, but it is somehow ok if you are hungry. There is also a large parking lot and we were able to park our vehicle easily and free of charge. I also don't want to forget to mention that the place is quiet. This compensates for the fact that it's not in the noisy center of the city. Because then, you wouldn't sleep a wink at night (I've lived on the island for several years and know what I'm talking about...)
Not a complaint but if possible, book a room on the second or third floor. Because of the wooden flooring, you can hear any movement on the second floor from the ground floor. I mention this because a guest came to our room on the second floor at 2 am and complained that we were too loud. And that was just because my wife took a few steps to get some water. Unfortunately, the restaurant doesn't match the high standards of the hotel. It might be advisable to order food from outside (Food Panda, to name one option).

Verified reviewThe staff were very welcoming and friendly. The staff really worked hard to make your stay enjoyable as - far as the 'hotel' part was concerned
The catering part. Quite frankly it was shockingly poor. The menu is very limited, and to make matters worse, when you select what you want, it was quite often not available, and on one occasion, my second choice was also not available. The menu has no European/ Western dishes. This is fine if you don't want European/Western guests, but please say so! The last time I dined, with neither of my choices of food available, I ordered two 'other dishes' which to me were Inedible (I am European and have a fairly broad palate) Your selection of alcoholic drinks is abysmal How can you offer a hospitality service and not even have a facility to sell a glass of wine, with a meal. Please get real! Your service staff in the 'restaurant' were lovely, but very poorly (or perhaps not at all) trained. On one occasion, I waited over 20 minutes for a bottle of beer.........................and the restaurant was not even 15% full! Finally, on two occasions, I asked if I could speak to the supervisor or duty manager of the restaurant, This resulted in more embarrassment for the poor staff. On both occasions, no supervisor or manager was 'available'.
