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):
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.
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.).

Walter really helped us and made the place feel like home. The room is spacious and clean, the fan came in useful. The view is amazing and you don't have to venture far for water. Overall a really enjoyable stay made even better by this remarkable host. Thank you Walter!

The location, the view and the personal. Walter was very helpful and available, we got a very good deal for a 2 night stay, even wanted to extend but it was fully booked. Highly recommended for your stay in fort Barton it’s only 10 minutes walks from the “center”. Would recommend this place to all our friends and family.

PhilippinesIt's rainy season so there where a lot of mosquitos but we already expected that. So we are writing for your awareness. Sir Walter even recommended us mosquito repellent.
The breathtaking view of Port barton. It is a romantic and quiet place to stay. Sir Walter the owner gave us superb service. We appreciate the kitchenette since we cook our food. The place is also very clean. The location is very unique you can see a lot of birds wondering and insects haha

AustraliaThe accommodation was so cute. Over 2 levels with sitting area, kitchenette and upstairs double room. Awesome views of the bay. It’s a little out of town but a nice walk up a hill. Be prepared for a few tiring steps to the property itself but that’s how you get a good view. Takes about 10-15 mins walk along beach to bars and restaurants

United KingdomThe location was perfect. Overlooking the bay and surrounded by well kept gardens. The rooms are fairly basic but have their own kitchen, good balconies to enjoy the view and there’s also a good seating area outside with fantastic views. You will need a torch when walking to the main town at night along the beach.

United KingdomFree WiFi is available throughout the property but this is actually just one portable WiFi device which is shared between the properties so once you use it, this gets returned to the hut for someone else to use. Some days we didn't get a chance to use it at all and we were not close enough to the other huts to be able to connect when they were using it. There is no AC in the room and in the afternoons the accommodation did get very hot - the fan helped cool it down a bit but not much.
It was away from the town so it was very quiet and has this beautiful view of the bay with stunning sunsets (I wish I could attach more pictures to this feedback). It was great value for money and the staff were amazing. Walter helped arrange lifts to the accommodation and reserve our bus journey out of port Barton. Christian arranged for us to go on a combination boat tour which was superb and even offered us a lift down to the beach in the morning. Everyone was really willing to help us make our stay and experience as good as possible and both spoke very good English. There was a hut on site with drinks that we could purchase and which were kept refrigerated so we didn't have to carry bottles of water back from town. The gardens in the resort are exceptional and overall it was a stunning place to stay. We saw a really cool gecko above our door, and on the walk up to the resort there was a big lizard that we saw for a split second but if we had stayed closer to town we wouldn't have had these encounters so it was great to feel like we were a bit more remote. Do note it is an uphill walk from town (about 15 mins) and some steep steps leading up to the property - this wasn't an issue for us but is worth keeping in mind as the pictures don't really show this. Also there is a shower but this is not heated - it was ok for us as we were very hot so cold water was fine but this might not be ok for everyone!

United KingdomWe had a lovely time here. Its a little walk or ride into the town but close enough. Walther and his staff are very helpful and friendly. The views over the bay are amazing and because its a little out of the town it is quiet and away from the hustle & bustle. For breakfast go into the restaurant they have in town.

SpainPlease do not expect anything fancy - no hot water or AC available and there is no a real shower, you have to shower next to the WC, so everything gets wet. The mattress was really hard and uncomfortable.
The view from the garden is great, sunrises and sunsets were amazing from the villa. The quality-cost rate is fair as this is quite a cheap place to stay in port Barton. The host is very nice and helpful, he arranged the transport to El Nido for us and the driver he recommended drove safely.

GermanyIt can get really hot in the afternoon, as the sun hits directly and there was no breeze, although the fans in the rooms help with that. There were no mosquito nets in the kitchen, so it was not easy to "ventilate" and that area can get very warm.
The views of the bay were beautiful and the concept of the place is really nice. The host, Walter, was really attentive and helpful with everything. The sleeping room gets really fresh during the nights. It gets the fresh breeze in the night. That was a great. The terrace to have a coffee or a beer overlooking the town is a great place.

United KingdomThe shower isn't great but there's a large kettle and the bucket and chuck it system. One kettle of water in the bucket and top it up with cold and use the jug to get a much more effective experience than standing under the weak shower.
These bungalows definitely have the best location in Port Barton, overlooking the entire bay, yet only a short stroll along the beach into town. The bungalow is very well designed, it stays cool so no need for AC. The kitchen is functional and the living room and bedroom are spacious. Plus there's gardens front and back. The bungalow is functional and very good value. Plus Walter is an excellent host, very kind and thoughtful. There's a small building for supplies, including drinks and the viewing terrace is the perfect place to unwind with a drink. The views are the real selling point though; stunning.

Beautiful location on the hill overlooking the bay! Close walk to town along the beach. The owner was friendly and super helpful! The property is up on a hill so you have to be able to walk some steep stairs up to the cottages. They were helpful with the luggage and with transport! Beer and water was available for purchase. Lovely sitting area overlooking the bay! Beautifully maintained property. We loved our stay here!
