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 reviewThe location was stunning, a very serene place to stay! A really nice quiet get away into nature. Host was really friendly and helpful!
Not many accessible food options - but you are paying to stay out of the way so that was expected. Roads to get there during rainy season were rough, so trying to get a rental scooter through would be difficult. Rooms were quite small.

Verified reviewBeautiful, secluded, authentic. Getting away from other tourists! Great place to do it. Got to know some locals and had memories for life. Im not a karaoke singer, but they may be responsible for having broken me in... A Filipino custom. Lots of nature noises at night may seem unsettling at first, but its totally safe. And as someone who gets eaten alive by mosquitoes, I applied my OFF at dusk and hung out outside all night and didnt really get bitten (May)
I guess Im tall, in an Asian Country? Huts aren't built for 6'+ people, but you manage. Host is around, but our communication could have been better, which can be tricky with limited cellphone services in remote areas.

Verified reviewMartins has a great asset being on the side of the bay, makes it exclusive with beautiful gardens. Jayson goes out of his way to help people reach their objectives and dreams . Went on a lovely sightseeing trip using his boat..
Some people might not like the fact that the shower is not finished yet ( may 2025) For me, it’s not a problem

Verified reviewSuper friendly and helpful staff, you essentially have a private beach, with very cute restaurants and food choices (albeit somewhat limited in food options but very good and decent prices). Black island tour is worth going to for the beautiful schools of fish and sunken wreck snorkeling.

Verified reviewLocated on the stunning Ocamocam Beach, the three wooden huts provide you with a glimpse of how early human settlers lived in these areas. Although the small wood and straw hut only has a bed, a fan and a light, it's sufficient and leaves you with the wish to discover the area and enjoy the beach. It may not be suitable for more than a night or two if you are a fussy traveler but it's an experience on its own, for sure. The host, Mr. Martins has a great personality and is very much involved in the local community so everyone around knows him. He is there to advise and help with any inquiries. We even arranged to visit the Black Island through him and that was one of the highlights of our Philippine expedition. Great authentic restaurants around so food was not an issue.

Verified reviewIt's a beautiful tranquil place to really rest and relax for few days. The bungalows are right at the beach with beautiful views and night sky full of stars:) it's a very simple bungalow, but clean. Same goes for shared bathrooms. There are mosquito nets & you will definitely need them.:) The location is great if you want to be surrounded by the locals. There is a nice restaurant at the beach that serves breakfast, but few others are also accessible by foot or scooter. It is however far from Coron (something to keep in mind if you planned any expeditions ..) Another star goes to the staff. Jayson, the property manager, is such a kind and genuine person!:) we had a lot of clothes to wash and dry and he offered to bring them to his mother to wash it for us for few pesos and even hang a rope behind our bungalow, so we were able to hang our towels etc. The owner Cliff was also kind enough to drive us to the airport early in the morning for 3000 pesos. We appreciated it, as the place is remote.
It is more a note for fellow travellers to know what to expect: - This is not a luxury stay place. There is no running water, so you will need to use a good old bucket to wash and shower (and bring some soap with). -The way to the place & the property itself is also dark at night, so you might have to use a flashlight/torch on your phone. A big advantage of it is however that you can see a lot of stars at night. -The sea level at the beach is low, so it's harder to actually swim, but you can soak in the sea nonetheless :p

Verified reviewThanks to Jason who helped us organise a boat to Black Island as we wanted to camp there the night before we stayed at Ocamocam B Martins. 2500-3000PHP for the private boat per direction. Can highly recommend a night on Black Island: about 500PHP pp to overnight on the island. About Ocamocam Beach Martins: all you need but basic - roof top bungalow with mattress on the ground, fan, bedding and towels. Shared bathroom is clean and big except that they don't have running water yet. Staff is very friendly and makes you feel like friends!
Shared bathroom doesn't have running water (yet) but the place is clean and not smelly at all. No wifi (I think) but Globe had really good signal at the location actually.

Verified reviewReally nice hotel located at the OcamOcam beach. You can not find 5star facilities, but during night we were lulled to sleep by the sound of the tide and waves which is much pretty for us. Bungalow is small but beds are perfect. All is done in nature-friendly style. Jason helped us a lot with boat tours to the Black island and dugong watching as well as with transfers. Just a few meters from bungalow and you are in a boat racing towards the charming dugongs. Strongly recommend!
