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 reviewIt was our second time in the Shire after three years and we were positively surprised to see that not only did they keep their high standards, they even managed to raise them. Michelle and her team are friendly and helpful, the rooms are spacious and comfortable and the breakfast amazing. This is by far the best place to stay when you’re in Sagada, we’ll be back!

Verified reviewOverall this place is exceptional, one of a kind.
Staff are overworked. The Receptionist is a cleaner and a server at the same time! This is too much! also no mirror inside the room and in the living room as well. No screen in the windows therefore we can’t enjoy the cool air and we can’t open them at night. The walkway in the middle part smells poop.

Verified reviewThe view from our room. The mountains, the lush and dense forest. The flowers.
It’s relatively far from the town center. And what I didn’t like most was the pathway from the parking lot to the hotel — you have to walk 98 meters (not far) on a pathway that at a certain point had unstable guardrails. The management shoukd fix that. Also, the room’s small and is good for 2 people only. In an ad, it said it eas a “quadruple room”. It is definitely NOT. Only 2 people will fit into that room. Paying 10,000 pesos for a room was not worth it.
Hi Ma’am Maria Jesusa, Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed the view of the mountains and forest. Since we’re located in a forested area and inside a working coffee farm, a bit of walking is part of the whole experience. We try to offer a quiet, nature-filled escape — simple, local, and comfortable. Just like how you asked for rosemary — we love it when guests connect with what we grow around here! We’ll also review the room listing to make sure it’s clear. Wishing you all the best on your next travels! — The Shire of Sagada Team

Verified reviewThe food is delicious, and made to order from a menu. The staff was kind, courteous, and polite. Everything was very luxurious, and I definitely felt welcome. So much so, that we extended our stay. A wonderful place of rest and relaxation.
Everything was actually lovely.

Verified reviewThe place is beautiful, no doubt about it. The building is beautiful, the views exceptional, and the area very quiet.
It is a bit overpriced for what is received. The restaurant was out of several menu items at dinner, and the staff were a bit slow to attend.
Hello Dean, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re really glad you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, stunning views, and the unique character of the property. We’re sorry to hear that some items weren’t available during dinner and that service was slower than expected. We understand how that can affect the overall experience, and we’re actively working to improve both kitchen supply and staff attentiveness. We appreciate your honest feedback — it helps us grow. — The Shire of Sagada Team

Our bathroom window is missing half of the glass.
Dear Maam Mel, Thank you for your kind words! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the Hobbit theme and our hospitality. We also appreciate you bringing up the bathroom window. The glass is actually present, but due to how clean it is, it might have appeared as though it was missing. We’ll look into this to ensure everything is as it should be.
