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 reviewAmazing view and location. Staff was really nice and accommodating. Even offered us a bigger than initially planned. Fun to bond with the locals of Batad! Offered great tour guides who showed us the in and outs of Batad!
Good to be aware that the facilities are very basic, almost back to primitive. The town is build on the rice fields mountains, you have to be fit enough. Lots of stairs. Hike to viewpoint 3, with the roof, is very cool but challenging, really a climb, so you have to be physically fit (something good of locals to ask beforehand)

Verified reviewThe Guesthouse is lead by a wonderful woman. She takes care of you, offers tours and Do hiking with you. Furthermore she cooks really delicious filipino food and serve it well done.
There is some noise from the animals and you need to wear good shoes either hiking shoes to walk all the way down. Although there are too much dogs. But be kind with them it will be good.

Verified reviewIt is all about location, at the edge of the Batad cluster of the UNESCO designated Cordillera Rice Terraces. A bit of a challenging path leading to the guesthouse, but then it all opens up like an amphitheater, right from the bedroom. Nicely prepared meals, ice cold beers. Very friendly host family.

Verified reviewThe most picturesque place you can possibly imagine, overlooking the rice terraces. Facilities are very simple as you would expect. The family who runs the place is very friendly.
Getting there is no joke. All the walking is either up or down. Recommend NOT brining a suitcase (learned this the hard way).

Verified reviewLovely family hosts who were very welcoming. The view is amazing and I really enjoyed my evening meal. There is a nice terrace where you can appreciate the view from.
It's a basic shared bathroom but that wasn't really a problem for me. Nice to be giving money to a local family.

Verified reviewThe location couldn’t have been better. A 24/7 view of the rice terraces. I would suggest getting offline maps as finding the property could be confusing otherwise.
I think they should ask guests what their food preferences are pre arrival as they can then order in the relevant ingredients. The options I had though were still veggie and delicious.

Maybe a little cabinet for clothes or a nightstand would be convenient in the room.

Nothing in particular. In line with our expectations, really basic, so expect some, not preferred, night-wild life.
