Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaThey have a pool which is great, but keep an eye out for your children as there is a suction drain in there which is very strong. This could be dangerous, so I hope they cover this up or get this fixed.
We transferred to this hotel as the previous hotel was not available for the dates. This is a great stay, however getting here you will need to contact them as it is tricky to get to with bags and children. They do provide a free tuktuk which is a bigger and fancier one that the usual ones that you are used to. We are greeted with drinks and a warm smile. They have a pool which is great, but keep an eye out for your children as there is a suction drain in there which is very strong. The view at the restaurant and pool is breath-taking. The surrounding areas for sari-sari stores and basic restaurants are great - very convenient. We felt safe walking around.

United StatesThe bathrooms were small and there was mold along the shower floors and walls. The regular rooms my family stayed in were a little dark and had a view of a wall so couldn’t open the curtains to get light in.
Love the bungalow! Amazing views! Perfect location. Easy walk to the town square. Nice restaurant, great food, and wonderful staff!

AustraliaNo facilities tiny plunge pool limited space to sit and relax by the pool. Management are very poor they stuffed up every booking we made with them. There was no one to pick us up from the airport when we arrived despite having made a booking. Our private boat ride was not confirmed by the hotel which resulted in us having to scramble to find a tour on the day and list at least 2 hours of sailing time
Located a short tricycle ride 5 mins P100 to the town which is a good 20 minute walk

When we arrived my wife was not well at all. We were an hour before check in but the manager, on seeing her condition, let us have a room immediately - thank you. So that gives an indication of the type of place - caring staff and pleasant rooms.

PolandThe staff was super friendly and helpful. The hotel is very nice! Nice location with a pool, far away enough from the middle of the city, which helped us to relax. But only 10 min walking to the centre. The hotel offers free tuk tuk, to get you there too. The breakfast were delicious. The room was nice and big enough. Next to the room we had a drinking water dispenser. The internet connection was ok. Beautiful and friendly place:)

United StatesDid see some ants in the bathroom but they didn’t bother me.
Loved the location! You can walk on the beach off the property and walk to town (or ride their free tuk tuk when the tides allow). Gorgeous view! Property is updated and beautiful. Food at the resort restaurant was delicious and lots of other options nearby. Staff were very friendly and helpful! Will definitely stay here again!

AustraliaWhen we arrived they tried to get even more $$ out of us for extra bedding and breakfast even though we had already paid in full and they knew how many people we had booked the room for. One lady who worked at the front desk was hard and unkind about it. But once we involved management it was settled swiftly. It wasn’t a good way to be greeted at a hotel or good first impression. But after that we had a wonderful time and it is a beautiful location.
The view from our room was amazing. The gentleman at the front desk was very kind. The restaurant staff were fabulous and nothing was a trouble for them.

United StatesPoor service at the restaurant by one specific server. Definitely did not receive resort-level service. After a horrible experience, we went to the restaurant at the hotel next door and received much better service. Also, would have appreciated communication from the resort regarding airport pickup options. Many guests arriving for other hotels had drivers waiting for them at the airport and we were left to fend for ourselves. Had they proactively communicated with us we could have been more prepared.
Great waterfront property with well-maintained grounds and spacious room. Particularly liked the individual casita with seating outside to enjoy the stunning view.

BrazilNothing to do with the hotel and/or hotel staff but one night I was woken up at 4am by another guest playing their phone outside their room out loud at full volume. We also had a slight issue with our transfer to the airport at the end of our stay.
The location is a 10 minute walk from the town centre, which was perfect for us as it meant the location was peaceful. The staff were incredibly friendly, especially in the restaurant. Our room was very comfortable too and we had hot water in the shower.
