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.).

PhilippinesNothing really. Only small things such as the lack of a hot shower, and the fan was exceptionally loud.
Very friendly lady, who helped us well if we had any questions! The huts are really cute, and the beds were surprisingly comfortable. There shared bathroom was basic but it's everything you need. Additionally it was a good place to stay the night before taking the boat to Malapascua.

ItalyThe communication was really good, you need instruction to get there. The sweet couple who lives there is very nice, they prepared us dinner due we arrived a bit late. The resort is basic but is doing its job, everything was clean and tidy. Good location if you want to relax, it's literal on the beach. We arrived by bus and we took the shuttle bike to get there for free. Available also to get to Maya port for few pesos

United StatesThe property is very hard to find in the dark, I would recommend getting there when it is still light outside. Luckily a kid walked me there in the evening or I don’t know if I would’ve found it.
The owner is very sweet and provides a nice breakfast that you can enjoy with a view of the ocean. Private room with clean bathrooms.

CanadaWifi costs $$, but honestly I stayed for a night before boarding the ferry to Maya so it did not bother me at all (the wifi situation).
Free breakfast was delicious! Dinner (paid) was also delicious and homecooked. It was very quiet and I appreciated the proximity to the beach (literally right in front of it).

AustraliaThe walls are really thin so you can hear everything going on outside, so if you are a light sleeper like me it might bother you.
The free pick up from the bus stop to the hotel is much appreciated. It was late but the owner cooked us delicious meals at a cheap price. The shared bathrooms were super clean and tidy. They also offer ride to the port for a fair price.

CanadaIt is a long walk to town with your heavy backpacks and I agree with the owners that, after dark, it's not nice to walk all the day to the huts so it's not the best location if you plan on going for food (there are no businesses around). Wifi is provided by the Piso Wifi which is cheap but note that you need coins.
Nice little cabins on a family property and right on the beach. I had a calm sleep. They picked me up at a nearby restaurant when I arrived late which I appreciated.

United KingdomI wasn’t put in a hut but a little room attached to the owners. It was not quite what I expect but was clean. Location was a little tricky so recommend getting transport there or call the property collect you.
Beach front huts were well situated on the beach. People were friendly

United KingdomI guess the downfall is location - if you were to stay long you would need a bike to go to the town. Not sure what else there is to do in the area. But if you just wanted a quiet stay, and good WiFi with the beach this is a good spot to do so!
What a little gem! We only used this place as a one night stop to go to Malapasca but it's such a good price for what you get!! We stayed in one of the little huts which were small but mosquito free, great fan and clean bedding and towel. There were small shelves, chair and hammock outside the room. The huts aren't facing the beach but the property is on the beach front which is super cool. The beach isn't the BEST beach but it's got a great coloured sea and some rocks and sand. We had to use one of those WiFi machines to get WiFi which was very cheap and you could pause the WiFi when you weren't using it so we paid for two hours at 10 peso! So cheap and it worked very very well, we were very impressed. We got picked up for free from the bus stop, late at night! And the lady supplied us with dinner at 8pm which was very kind. Breakfast was given to us for free - an omelette and toast.

United StatesCoin machine wifi didn't work even after paying. Coin machine for drinking water. My room smelled a little like cat pee I felt like I was inconveniencing the staff a little by asking for coffee in the morning or soap/shampoo for the shower.
The owner Nanay is suuuuper nice. Her husband picked me up from the bus stop outside the property. Best fried chicken I've had in the Philippines. She's a great cook! Chill vibes. Hung in the hammock and read. Rustic accommodations tho.

NetherlandsRight in front of the beach so you fall asleep to the sound of the waves. Hut was traditional but simple, no airconditioning but a fan that did the job. Communal shower worked well, private hammock and host was friendly! Very quiet and small, just a few huts, and beach all for yourself (since theres nobody there) so I was happily surprised since I just booked the night when I was stuck in Maya Port.
