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.).

Because its located in residential area there are a lot of dogs and roosters which make a bit of a cacophony early in the morning, but this is normal for Philippines and cant really be avoided.
One of the cleanest rooms I've ever stayed in - it was immaculate! Sol is so lovely and helpful, and the a/c is quiet and powerful. The inn is a short walk out of the main town area and in a nice residential area where friendly locals live.

The Wi-Fi didn’t work in the room but we’ve found that in a lot of places and Sol did mention it. Also a very small thing but the towels weren’t very drying. Apart from that we enjoyed our stay
The hosts were lovely, we were well looked after. Room is neat and clean. There was chilled drinking water and free tea and coffee. Location is a little of the main road so it was only the sound of animals which didn’t bother us.

Wifi in my room sometimes was bad. But outside the room or in the terrase it good.
I had a great and comfortable time at Sol's apartment. Spent 4 nights and wish I have time for more. The best stay you can find in Port Barton. Simple, but clean, with good and quite air conditioning and comfortable bed. Sol and her husband is the best! They are very helpfull and make you feel like at home. They can help, plan and arrange everything you need! Trips, transportation, drinks, breakfast.

Accommodation is clean and very comfortable for couples, AC works great and quiet. Sufficient water pressure, free coffee in the morning (powdered coffee in sachet), purified water, towels and basic toiletries provided. The hotel faces residential area but was quiet during evenings. The road entering the hotel is not yet paved. Port Barton is a relatively quieter, smaller beach town compared to El Nido and some of the roads are still currently under development. The locals are very kind and helpful. Data connection is not very good in the town in general but basic messaging and phone call works. The owner is very attentive to the needs of her guests and provides excellent recommendation for island hopping activities and transportation to El Nido. We enjoyed our stay in Sol's Inn and would love to stay there again.

The smell in the bathroom is very strong. The air con was leaking. It was very noisy, which is not the owners fault but if you are looking for a quiet place to rest, this is not a place for you. The wifi was also not working.
The owners are very kind. The bed is comfortable. The dogs are the cutest. Hot water worked fine. We booked the island hopping and van to el nido with the owner, everything was well organised.

Nothing!
The absolute best thing about this property are the hosts. Sol and Chris (and Hazel the dog) are extremely welcoming. They gave us some great tips for things to see and do in Port Barton, and Sol arranged our island hopping tour for us, which was a highlight. The location is also great, around 5-10 walk from the centre of town.

I know it is related to the owners or the place itself but the roosters around the Inn are super loud 24/7 so bring some earplug for the night.
The room is large and cozy, the bathroom same thing. The owners are very kind and friendly, always making you feel a guest in their home. Location-wise this Inn is just ouside the main streets.

The WiFi didn't work while we were there so would recommend booking your next location beforehand. Residential area gets a bit loud so would recommend some ear plugs ;)
Most friendly owners, very chatty and helpful! Great location and spacious room with everything you need.
