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 reviewThis hotel greatly exceeded my expectations. The staff at the front desk were exceptionally friendly, and the bed was remarkably comfortable. The bathroom was also extremely clean and it was everything we hoped for and more. It was the perfect place for us to relax, recharge, and make memories together. We left feeling refreshed and already talking about when we can return. If you’re looking for a comfortable, convenient, and family-friendly hotel with amazing service, this place definitely fits the bill!

Verified reviewClean, spacious, meets expectations, and directly connected to the best cafe in town which is the biggest reason to stay here. This cafe (Sparrow Cafe) serves excellent coffee and food on a wide variety menu with awesome staff/owner. Furthermore, this place does what it should: provide an affordable stay.
Reception staff is a bit "bland"/uninterested (except for a guy that was friendly and helpful), but no complaints. We found the bed too hard (by international standards; by Filipino standards it was "normal"). The internet provided by the wifi was of low quality/speed/stability; combined with limited mobile data reception in the room.

Verified reviewThe room is quite decent. The staff in the morning was quite helpful and is very responsive to our questions and has good recommendations when it comes to transportation and such.
No elevator but it's okay since it's a small hotel. However, the shower is pretty bad - not working properly and I think the shower head needs to be cleaned. When we arrive the scent of bleach or cleaning agent was too strong.

Verified reviewAwesome Location, Friendly and Helpful Staff. Large Rooms and Bathroms. Strong AC, strong hot water and TV with lots of English International channels. Electric Kettle and Refrigerator in the room. Soap, shampoo, toilet paper and coffee/creamer/sugar provided everyday. Water Refill dispenser in the corridor.
No toothbrush/toothpaste, handwash gel/ shower gel or slippers provided. As we carried our own, it didn't make any difference to us.

Verified reviewGreat little hotel in the heart of the Olongapo tourist trap. Staff are super friendly, helpful and polite. Rooms are spacious and clean. Shower has great water pressure and there is local cable. Great little place with a restaurant attached. I didn't have breakfast included but I ate at their restaurant and their breakfast was, just like the hotel, great value for money.
I found their mattress super uncomfortable because it was rock hard. I had a night of tossing and turning but I could manage for a single night. Their parking spot is tight to say the least. It's at the side of the hotel on an extremely narrow side road...it is very difficult to park there due to a car that is permanently parked opposite the hotel parking gate. The hotel does have a partnership with another hotel that charges Php 150/night to park...so that is worth considering next time.

Verified reviewGreat location. Comfortable bed. WiFi good. TV with some English channels. Garage around the back for safe parking. Good value at online prices (book in-person and they charge almost double, even when you show the online price- very strange). Nice food in the attaching restaurant (although the smell in there is not pleasant for a restaurant)
Room 17 is incredibly noisy. Like sleeping in an aeroplane. I had to move room but next one was fine. Staff could do with a little more knowledge on the local area to help first time visitors but they are friendly and good at check in and out.

Verified reviewIt all started when I booked a room with a balcony, I didn't get that so I complained and the staff very rude said the room wasn't available so I had to stay with a room a lot cheaper than the one I paid. Ask for a refund from my room and they said no not possible. The staff not even good morning they could say apart from the receptionist in the evening the others aren't good always on their phone or with friends or boyfriend and if you came seems you are upsetting them.
