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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomI didn't just dislike Lorna and Bob, I hated them as did all the other guests. They were the only disappointment and fortunately they left after one night, much to everyone's delight. Naidy, if you get 'customers' like that again call the police and get the correct amount of money out of them, threaten them with jail if you have to. They left having swindled you out of about 140USD and that is not right. Please note, everyone out there, that if a negative review appears from Lorna Tangara or Bob, both from New Jersey, (didn't find out his surname) they are just a pair of con-artists. They haggled every price, the sort of behaviour that's ok with street hawkers, but not when the prices are listed for all to see. They had even asked for a generator to be provided for Bob's night time oxygen and said they weren't paying for it! (I would have cut the tube) I've been to every continent on the planet and there are some great Americans, but this pair, in my humble opinion, were the worst. Loud, overbearing, arrogant, ignorant, classless and clueless would go some way to describing them, but there could be so much more even without resorting to using swear words, oops nearly forgot 'sanctimonious'. Not the fault of the resort owners at all. I'm sure Lorna and Bob have forged a trail through South East Asia making themselves unpopular wherever they go. Stay at home Lorna and Bob, in the USA, where behaviour like yours is considered normal, you nasty, hateful pair. Lorna, if you happen to read this, I have your business card. I had to get it out the trash where they had all been thrown. (4 or 5 of them) I know where you work (sic) and can easily write reviews on google maps and your website.
Everything! Complete escapism. If you really want to get away from it all, this is the place. Beautiful resort in an amazing location with the most incredible hosts. Tours to go on if you want, mainly island hopping, I did nothing but relax and chill. Great food, breakfast is included, lunch and dinner are optional extras but there are no restaurants nearby so take plenty of cash with you as there are also no ATMs anywhere close to the resort. I must thank the German couple I met in Puerto Princesa who recommended Dang Dang at Balbago Beach otherwise I would not have made it there. I will, at some point be back to meet up with Naidy, Dong and their fabulous family again. Also to see how big Whitey the puppy has got and to see if he remembers my whistle! Lots of love, health, happiness and success to you all, Simon (Pale Pilsen record holder)

AustraliaI had a wonderful stay at dang dang. The location is perfect for relaxing by the beach and the view from the huts is amazing, so nice watching sunrise from bed. The family are all so lovely, especially Joy who was always checking in with me to see if I needed anything. Would definitely recommend!

United KingdomI had the best holiday in my life!!! I needed a peaceful, quiet, beautiful place with delicious food far away from crowds. I've found it all there plus on top I felt so welcome and looked after. Anything I wanted Naidy and her family was trying to help me with. Nothing was a problem. They helped me a lot with transport from Puerta Princesa both ways. As a single female traveller I felt SAFE staying and dealing with them! Unique experience when you can sleep nearly on the beach in your little bamboo house. Sea view AMAZING from you bed. Hospitality, help, FUN 11 out of 10 :-) Cleanness 10 out of 10 Location 10 out of 10 PARADISE ON EARTH it's how I can describe my experience with them. I can't wait to come back there ASAP. I love it so much.

FranceLoved everything! Absolutely lovely family, from the very start it felt like staying at home. They cooked delicious meals with meat/fish/veggies/salads. The room and the bed were very comfortable. The surroundings are absolutely mesmerizing, with great snorkeling spots and pristine beaches! This place is perfect if you want to relax, feel deeply connected to nature and get a great local experience (they'll show you plenty of things!).

FranceThe internet is limited and there was no signal for Smart but we thought this was more a positive point since we wanted to disconnect. (Dito has good signal tho)
Our stay at Dang Dang Resort exceeded all our expectations! The resort is even better than it looks in the photos. The place has so much charm, with every detail thoughtfully designed. The meals were always different and delicious, and everything was impeccably clean and comfortable. We loved the chance to unwind, enjoying massages and cooking classes guided by the amazing Naidy and Chiny. While the location is a bit remote, we actually appreciated the chance to disconnect and spend time offline. We even had fun playing volleyball during our stay! They also were super clear about the ways to get there since it could be a bit though. We absolutely hope to come back in the future!

GermanyThere wasn’t really something I didn’t like.
I was looking for a getaway place and found the perfect spot. Dang dang is a mini-resort right at the beach - a very peaceful and relaxing place. Naidy and her husband are super friendly and try to make the stay as pleasant as possible. The meals Naidy cooks gave me a new perspective on the Philippine cuisine. Loved it. And it was even possible to do a cooking class on traditional Philippine dishes with Naidy. I can really recommend this place - if you’re looking for a quiet spot / away from typical tourist spots.
