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 reviewI absolutely loved everything about this place- the bungalow, the hospitality of the owner and staff, the view, the breakfast, everything! The bungalow far exceeded my expectations and was very clean, spacious, and calming. I really enjoyed lying in the hammock on the balcony and view of the trees and sea. The owner and staff were very hospitable. Because I couldn't drive a motorbike, the owner arranged for a driver for me and a friend and took us around to a lot of spots! I couldn't have asked for a better stay and I definitely will be back! Daghan salamat, Hidden Valley!

Verified reviewHidden Valley is such a special place. It was quiet and relaxing and we never felt the need to go anywhere else in the evenings because the food was so spectacular. Great cocktails too! We also enjoyed our chats with our hosts and other guests. The location worked well for us as we wanted to dive at Bahura Divers and visit the waterfalls around Lazi. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Some power outage from time to time but not that important, maybe it's not even their fault.

Verified reviewHidden Valley is a true gem! The food is absolutely amazing, and the views during sunset are simply breathtaking. It's such a peaceful and quiet place, perfect for unwinding. The staff are incredibly lovely and made me feel so welcome. It’s a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy nature. Highly recommend!
If you like to see attractions in the island, it's better to have a scooter

Verified reviewBeautiful hotel in nature in Siquijor. Our room was very spacious - especially for Philippines standards. There was a nice sofa, wardrobe and a terrace with a balcony and arm chair. Did I mention the stunning views from the balcony? The whole property has a “tree house” vibe, providing beautiful views everywhere. The staff was suuuuper friendly and helpful. We rented a scooter and it was all fine. The restaurant is maybe a little bit pricey, but portions are big and the food is VERY good.
The hotel is a bit far off from the main town, so you’ll need to either hire a scooter or tuktuks during your stay. It is, however, close to the main waterfall and very close to Old Enchanted Ballet Tree

Verified reviewThe staff of Hidden Valley are a true gem - they were very friendly, welcoming, and quick to assist with our needs. They even gave us welcome cocktails! The area is also very peaceful, as the property sits in a forest area and is quite secluded. The downside of that, though, is that it's pretty far from other places like tourist sites. It's also hard to access the area if you don't rent your own motorcycle or vehicle. The room itself was great - you get a bungalow to yourself, the bed was big and comfortable, and you have privacy. My only feedback would be the hot shower - it isn't the best, more of lukewarm rather than hot but that's more of a personal preference. Also, the food and cocktails are spectacular, so even if you can't stay here visit their resto!

Verified reviewWe practically almost ate most of our breakfast and dinner meals here. Even if you decide to stay somewhere else this place is worth a visit for the food. Meg has been a fantastic host. Her cooking skills are phenomenal. She also accommodated to few special request (ie softer pillows, early breakfast, transport to the port). Her son Sebastian, the cats, the dogs add so much to the homy experience. Feels like you’re not a guest but part of the house.
If we had to choose, one of the staff forgot our motorbike request. But they resolved it right away.

Verified reviewHidden Valley is a real gem for those seeking a relaxing paradise stay away from the mainstream tourism. Here you can truly relax. The bed is superb, the staff as well as the owner friendly and attentive. The restaurant area offers spectacular views as well as really good meals (the best we had during a whole month in the Philippines) and friendly service. Eating here is truly a joy. If you want to explore the island you can rent a scooter here for a good price. Expetional value for money! If I come back to Siquijor I will book this place again!

Verified reviewThe owners and staff are some of the nicest people you will meet on your travels, and the food served by Meg is by far the best we ate not only in Siquijor but during our entire 3-week trip in the Philippines. The rooms are simple but very decent, and the general chilled atmosphere of the place makes it a must-stop when driving around the island.
