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 rained really hard during our stay. There was some leakage inside and outside the room we stayed in. Not for older people with knee issues or who can't walk up a flight of stairs.
I love the idyllic vibe. Quiet and relaxing. Pet-friendly, and the staff were accommodating.

PhilippinesThe boat that was supposed bring us back to Waterfront Hotel was under preventive maintenance that is why we transported back by land and ferry boat which was a little uncomfortable. The resort should have hired another boat to sevice the guests in the absence of the regular boat.

CanadaThere were no snacks available in the room. We did not pay for WiFi so we just went to the main hall when we need it. Wish the WiFi could be reliable throughout the place but that is probably beyond control. Food was very good but some things on the menu are not available ie fruits and desserts- halo halo. Maybe a pool table or Table tennis and some activities can be provided for guests as well.
The quietness and cleanliness of the place. The room is very spacious. The BR could use a little more room to put personal stuff. Staff were really nice and accommodating.

Germany-employee attentiveness: it's on par with the overall low attentiveness in the Philippines. We had to ring the bell to ask for service, which we did 3 times in 20 minutes. Nobody reacts. They let you wait without knowing if they even heard you. This also happened to our neighbour the next day so it was not an isolated case. I told I had a transfer to catch so I'd order if the cook can make the food quick which the waiter confirmed. I waited 40 minutes and had to remind the waiter whether my food was still coming which then was suddenly immediately ready. Each day I had to ask to include napkins and a knife when getting food, I mean, after the third time they could have remembered it. But as I said, it is not different to most places in the Philippines, the Philippine service level is just very low and slow. Yet, everyone is very kind. -far from all: but then again, there is not that much to do on the island. We rented a scooter for 800, which usually is 500 but still nice they offered help and called the scooter guy. -constructions were being done daily creating some noise. They informed us 30 minutes before arriving, so not much choice to still change the accommodation. They could have written it in the description. It was only during the day though. I would probably stay again though.
This place is really beautiful and great for relaxing. The cottages are great. It is very green and just very nice. The food was good, a bit more pricey but nice. The transfer from Davao was well organized and they helped carrying the luggage. They played some relaxing music in the background in the weekend, but nothing during the week as there were few guests but I think even then you can do it.

PhilippinesIt’s a big old and needs renovation, the wood are old and the ceiling have holes and leak there was a heavy downpour of rain and it flooded the restaurant. The wooden table are all getting wet and the staff are not mindful enough the furnishing can get rotten by the water from the rain. Some socket are not working and the ceiling electric fan are not working.
They have their own port and boat facilitated by the staff. It’s beach front and very quiet and peaceful and the villa that was given to us is near the restaurant and near the beach. The cabin and the overall ambiance gave a rustic ancient feels. The whole family of eight fits the villa with each one having a bed of their in one villa. Food is delicious and gave us free tortang talong. Though 3x higher cost of the food, but the staff are very and rushes to the villa once they are needed.
