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 reviewSunbloom was hands down the best vacation experience of my life. The hosts, Katie and Randy, went above and beyond to make us feel not just comfortable—but like family. The place radiates charm, surrounded by beauty, and every detail felt intentionally tailored to enhance the experience. From fresh coconuts retrieved just for us, to borrowing their trike to get a real feel for island life, to cheese omelets and special drinks that were genuinely life-changing—it was next level. The bed was so comfortable and the pillows were perfect after a full day of ocean play. I even appreciated the feet washers just outside the door! The personal boat tour with Bai was an unforgettable highlight. The spa experience was another level of bliss—the twin massage therapists were there whenever we needed them for couples massages, and they worked magic every time. The entire staff was incredible—attentive, intuitive, and often one step ahead of our needs. The food? Bar none. The menu is a global adventure, inspired by Katie and Randy’s own travels. Don’t miss the Bicol Express—it’s a must. I love this place, and I’ll be back the first chance I get. 🌴✨
Absolutely nothing! Unless you count having to leave. 😭

Verified reviewWe were accommodated by one of the best Customer Service in the Philippines. Hotel Staffs were amazing. Hotel Managers are honest, approachable and accommodating. The ambience is so relaxing and for sure we will come back! Huge 5 stars for this resort/hotel. Foods were amazing and exceeded our expectations. I need to leave back to our home so I did not have the time to experience their sumptuous breakfast.
I could not think anything.

Hello Han Thank you for your visit to Sunbloom and your review. Sorry you are disappointed with our location!!! It is well recognised that Sunbloom has the best location in the centre of the Candelaria Beach cove, we are a quiet hotel without noisy facilities such as Kareoke, but a more favourable and relaxing pianist at week ends. Also we note that you think that our food is limited, I understand that as a Filipino you are used to each individual item being listed on a menu ie: rice, vegetables, meat etc. Here at Sunbloom we have created complete dishes which we serve to you in the International way that it is intended. You will also note that we do not offer more than 6 Filipino dishes, because we want to give our guests a true taste of other dishes from around the world and not just fried food and boiled foods that you can find here but these are authentic dishes we have chosen from our world travels. Perhaps if you come back you will give the International food a try, ...you may enjoy it Regards Katie Gomez Proprietor

Verified review- very friendly staff - clean beach - comfy beds - they are flexible to our requests
- mozzies and other insects greeted us when we checked-in - water pressure is quite weak - wifi is erratic - quite tricky to get into the property by car
Hello Jeffrey Thank you for your review we appreciate your positive comments. We are sorry the wifi was erratic, unfortunately in the Provinces wifi is not good and you must remember this is not the City where there is a lot of internet company competition. last week upgraded our satelite dish to take a greater internet load and hope that this now satisfies guests needs. Did you mention the water pressure to reception? we do try to be Eco friendly and not waste water by having full pressure all the time, but we are happy to increase for our guests. Sorry about the mosquitos! they drive us around the bend too, but that is nature and apart from the zappers we have up around the property, in the garden areas this we know is a problem. Thank you once again and we hope you will return to Sunbloom in the near future. Regards Katie Gomez

Verified reviewWe booked a small standard room with all the basics except for TV, which we did not require. We had great aircon, hot water, fabulous bed, cleaned to a high standard. The choice of foods were exceptionally good, well prepared, staff were awesome and friendly, catered to all our needs. The ambience and views from the restaurant overlooking the ocean and sunsets were awesome. This establishment would be the best regional hotel/resort I have ever stayed in and I have travelled far n wide in the Philippines.
There's nothing not to like about about this hotel. 10 out of 10. Highly recommended.

I will pass it on our staff. just for our future guests information. all rooms have tv and some have smart tv's. but im glad you enjoy evertthing that sunbloom.has to offer that you dont really need to use our tv in our room. hoping to see you again soon. Again, thank you for the high praise.

It will be fine to have a ref in the room Excellent access to the beach perfectly cleaned The breakfirst was perfect We regret that the foods in the restaurant was not so good I order a fish and ship and my compagnon a pork shop .both of them was very dry meat probablely due to an earlier cooked and just warm up We don't eat all but the waitress don't ask us why .
The quality of the foods
Hello Pierre Thank you for your review, we are glad that you enjoyed our hotel. We are so sorry however, that you found the dinner a little dry! Why on earth did you not call the waitress and ask her to attend to this? I can assure you that all of our food is cooked to order, and NOTHING is pre cooked and reheated. The fish and chips, would have been either tanige or fresh tuna, the latter which can be a little dry when deep fried in batter but we do serve the dish with a sauce, equally the same with the pork chop, which is in fact seared and then poached in Calvados (being French you should appreciate the delicacy of the apple brandy), again this dish was served with an additional jug of calvados sauce should you require it. We thank you for bringing this to our attention and we will ensure that in future our staff always do a courtesy check and when serving your food, tell you what the sauces are etc so that you can enjoy with your food. Once again, thank you for your good comments. Kind regards katie Gomez, Proprietor
