Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

PhilippinesWhat we didn’t like, but completely understood, was the amoy luom or damp smell from the pillows and some parts of the room, most likely a result of typhoon Emong. It wasn’t a major issue, but definitely noticeable. Also, while the room itself was stylish and well-decorated, the CR didn’t match the same level of design. It was clean and functional, just a bit plain in comparison to the rest of the space. Lastly, there was no signal inside the room, but this wasn’t a big deal thanks to the strong WiFi.
What we liked most about The Escape La Union was how accommodating and responsive the staff were. When our original room was affected, they quickly moved us to a bigger one without hassle such a smooth experience. The beachfront view was beautiful and relaxing, especially with the bean bags, table, and chairs outside the rooms where we could just sit back and enjoy the waves. We also appreciated the personal sampayan outside each room, which was super convenient after spending time at the beach. The location was perfect too… close to the center of all the popular food and hangout spots, which made everything accessible. One of the best parts of our stay was the boodle fight dinner. Sobrang sulit, malalakas kami kumain pero di pa rin naubos! On top of that, the WiFi was fast and reliable, which made up for the lack of mobile signal inside the room. The staff were consistently warm, helpful, and easy to approach from check-in to check-out.

PhilippinesShower in the room provides small amount of water so it takes time to take a bath. The main door lock is hard to open. The breakfast serving was too small and yet it is expensive.
The room was perfect for our family. The dinner is delicious.

PhilippinesThe exhaust fan needs to be cleaned as it does not do its purpose anymore, the foul smell after bowel movement can be smelled inside the room so the exhaust fan needs to be turned on always. That's all.
The room is clean and perfect for short stay in La Union. Very accessible to food stalls, cafe and by the beach!! The staff are very friendly and prompt to address your concern. They also provide meals and have billiards you can rent.

United Kingdom1. Could do with more tables & wardrobe/cabinets to put clothes and bags. The rooms can easily get cluttered with all our belongings. 2. Water became an issue too, although was easily fixed. 3. Could do with more showers to clean your body/feet from sand before going to your rooms. 4. Nowhere to put toiletries by sink too.
Clean and beachfront accommodation, near all bars and restaurants. The place is very clean and spacious, good for big groups/families. Kuya Darwin was especially pleasant and informative.

PhilippinesThis is wishful thinking but parking is a challenge. The low beds are very challenging for the seniors. Also, hoping for a television inside the room for entertainment. It can't be helped but there are some occasional ants, too.
I super like the staff. They are very kind, and very attentive. I also liked the room layout that maximizes the space to be occupied by many comfortably. The water pressure is also good. Location is quiet. The place is clean.

SwedenJust a minor remark: There is no breakfast buffet but you must order one of a selection of breakfast plates. However there are a few different Philippine plates, including rice, scrambled eggs, and some meat or fish, and one American/European version with toast, ham and scrambled eggs. Each one we tried was nice, so we were happy anyway.
The Escape has a perfect location just in front of the beach, where you can watch the sea and surfers venturing the waves. The rooms are designed for groups of friends or families up to six people. Some agility is required because half of the beds are in lofts, so some climbing is required to get up there. The bathroom is divided into two separate rooms, a toilet and a shower room. The shower was excellent with good water pressure and also hot water available (in case you want it, which is seldom in tropical climate). Outside the rooms is a large patio with a wonderful view of the sea. There were drying racks outside every room for drying swimsuits and towels.

United StatesThe parking lot is very small and tight. The 1 room, 1 car policy is undesirable especially if you're renting a 6-8 person room.
The location is right at the beach. The beach directly in front is suitable for more experienced surfers due to the size of the waves and the spiky corral. The section for swimming and beginners is walking distance so not a huge setback.
