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.).

It’s a bit pricey compared to other hotels with the same service and facilities. There’s no elevator, which is a bit of a challenge if you have a small kid and luggage. The staff was able to support though, and good thing we’re only on the second floor. The breakfast options are limited to tapa, corned beef and meat loaf. It’s also located within Trace College complex, within a subdivision, which requires around 5-8 min walk to Lopez Ave before catching a jeep going to UPLB.
It’s a pretty decent hotel. It was a bit old but well maintained. We stayed in the family suite which was newly painted. The staff are friendly and accommodating.

It needs maintenance, such as the bathroom's shower door, faucet. The bed's mattress is old and stiff, we felt the spring. The pool was also not available during our check in.
Value for money. It's a decent hotel that you can find in the area. The breakfast and coffee was good.

1. The bathroom has no exhaust. When you take a warm shower the bathroom becomes humid. Also because of this the bathroom as well as the whole room do not smell that fresh. 2. The door lock is not easily opened. The lock seems to be stuck always. However, after staying for 2 days, I was able to discover the technique of opening the door from the inside and from the outside. However, one needs to exert some effort to do this. An elderly or a child would find it hard to do this. I suggest the property to fix this because it kind of annoying at times.
1. I love the pool. The pool is clean and I think half the Olympic size so I really enjoyed swimming and exercising. 2. I love the gym especially the top of the line treadmill. I was able to do my routine inclined workout for 30 minutes. 3. I love the breakfast. The omelet is perfect as well as the brewed coffee.

The rooms are neat and quiet. The staff are courteous and hospitable. The location is just a few kilometers from UPLB and walking distance to the town proper. We literally owned the pool during our stay. Good value for money....

Bathroom/toilet was too tight. Bathroom appeared appeared old and not maintained well. The sink drain was so dirty. Small bed. No elevator. The rooms were overpriced, considering very limited amenities and tight rooms/bathrooms.
There is nothing that I liked.

Trace is exceptionally clean and upkept hotel inside a secured campus. My family liked the huge spic and span rooms as well as the aura of the restaurant
