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 StatesThis is a small bed and breakfast that is very private with just a small number of rooms/guests that allows for a personal experience. The rooms are spacious and well maintained and have ocean views. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating and primarily serves the guests - at least while we were there. The Italian food is well done with nice wine list and unusually good pizza for the area. The team/hosts cater to your needs and makes the stay a very personal experience. Breakfast is prepared to accommodate your timing.

United StatesA minor issue was the dog noise in the morning but staff tried to resolve it. Also, the unpaved road leading to the hotel was a bit of a problem, as some of rideshare services were hesitant to drive all the way there or upcharge us.
L'osteria delivered an exceptional experience that I'd highly recommend. Mornings began on the perfect note with a spectacular breakfast, featuring what I can only describe as the best cappuccino and croissant with the best freshly sliced Philippine mango! The breathtaking views and convenient access to the nearby beach were simply unbeatable. The staff was wonderful, always greeting us with warmth and genuine smiles. For dinner, the on-site Italian restaurant was a major draw. Having lived in Italy, I can attest that their food is completely legitimate and delicious.

Our stay at L'Osteria was excellent. The concierge, both Mabel and Veronica , were very attentive to details and knew what my family wanted. The rooms were decorated with elegance and comfort in mind. I didn't want to leave our rooms. The views were breathtaking!!! It's very close to everything---

United StatesGorgeous small property. We stayed in one of the villas with a private pool and had a perfect stay. The room was clean and luxurious, and staff were really helpful and kind, especially when we had an early morning flight arrival. Breakfast was delicious and filling. The outdoor shower and light in the pool were also nice touches that made it easier to use the space. Would 100% return!

AustraliaIt’s an absolute pleasure to have stayed at L’Osteria. The location is sublime, right on the beach and next to Tuasans surf break. And the accomodation is perfect, waking up to the site of crashing waves & breakfast was amazijg every morning. The best part was definitely there staff, from the beginning we felt welcome and looked after for the duration of our stay. We were lucky enough to have an upgrade too on our last night to the pool villa and it was unbelievable to say the least! I will be coming back to Siargao, and certainly staying here again to experience the friendly hospitality.

The whole place is like a fairy tale, the pictures doesn’t give justice. The neigbouring streets might seem rough at the first sight, but we haven’t experienced anything but kindness from the locals throughout our week in Siargao. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful, there was nothing they couldn’t help us with. Some critiqued the breakfast options but 1) we could eat that forever 2) they have always asked us if we’d have any special request for eg like a Filippino breakfast etc. It’s a shame we couldn’t stay longer than a week.

FranceThey can’t do much about it , but the access road is literally awful , specially after a lot of rain. You must have a scooter or a tuktuk driver that wants to get in there , cause it’s almost impossible to walk. I guess we could consider the menu a bit pricy for the island , but we’ve been around trying to eat European food in Siargao ( tired of philippino food ) and L’Osteria cooks the best one. I would maybe add a couch or two, create a waiting area for people that must check out and have their flight later on .
The breakfast view every morning and the calm out of the place since they only have 4 rooms , it feels very private. The girls were all lovely. The Italian food that they make with a Philippino crew ,is remarcable.

United Arab EmiratesAs like the other reviews and most of Siargao, getting to the place was very bumpy, muddy and dark (reason we kept taking the tuktuk) wasn’t too much of a bother for us though. The junior suite does not have a balcony or patio.. which was a little disappointing as the description did say there was one, therefore we weren’t able to just sit outdoors. There is a common area where you can eat and get beverages from which was a bit odd for the price you are paying, had to get our own waters… The view was ok, no fault of the place but they should mention that the “beach front” isn’t really what you’d expect. It’s all big rocks and not a swimmable beach. But it is a nice walk :)
We stayed at the Junior Suite for 2 nights. The place itself is beautiful! The room was great size for me and my sister. Bed and pillows were comfortable for a good night me sleep. Clean place and room as well. Staff were amazing! The staff are also very accommodating, anytime we needed a Tuktuk they would call one for us, they would ask if we wanted anything special for breakfast as we were always leaving at 7am and breakfast did not start till 7:30, they’d pack 2 freshly baked croissants for us (really appreciated this).

United StatesThe location is a bit tucked away, which adds to its charm, but be aware that the road leading to the property is uneven, so drive carefully. Additionally, during the rainy season, the area can experience slight flooding, so it’s a good idea to wear sturdy shoes and be prepared for wet conditions.
The staff was incredibly friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable, and the food was absolutely amazing—every dish was perfectly prepared and delicious! Also, you can rent a scooter at their location which is very convenient. They will also help with shuttle services to and from the airport.

United KingdomThe shared “road” to the property is uneven and floods very easily in rainy season. We ended up ankle deep in water most nights when leaving or coming back to the property however I assume this isn’t up to the property. Everything else to do with the property is amazing but just a warning - don’t take nice shoes and prepare for wet feet!
The room was incredibly spacious and clean with an amazing view. The staff were incredibly kind and couldn’t do enough for you. Major bonus points for the incredible restaurant on site - the breakfast is good and every evening meal we had there was great. The pizza and calzone are to die for!!

Netherlands- the airco blew its cold air right over the bed, resulting in stiff backs the next morning. No way to point it in a different direction, reduce the fan to (close to) none. - 2 app's had their own pool, ours did not. Would not have been an issue if the premises would have a comfortable chair/setup next to/on the beach. Note that the rocks right next to the beach keep you from entering the sea...
Nice apartment on top of an Italian restaurant. Quiet garden, with the sea in the background. Very friendly staff, which included the owner and his family (wife & little kid)

The location was amazing with the view but also plenty of privacy to spend time as a couple. The room and bathroom were very comfortable, you could notice the attention to detail. The staff was amazing and our room and pool were always looked after perfectly. The food and wine there are exceptional, we stayed in a lot because it was hard to find anything comparable. All in all a perfect stay for the two of us with plenty of time to relax. The internet was also surprisingly fast there.
