Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

I had a great stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly, professional, and always ready to help, which made my visit smooth and enjoyable. The entire place is well-kept. Unfortunately, the gym is small and the balcony of my room is located inside the building and very humid. No one can sit and enjoy the balcony. On the other hand, what I appreciated most was the location—very convenient and close to public transport, shops, and restaurants; and their transportation service. If you are booking a room, book a room with balcony facing an open space or the pool.

The room given to us was okay. It was just dark in the hallways as they do not have lights. The AC was not really cold, we have to wait for 30-45 mins to cool the room. Also, they charge for early check in for 200 per hour. They also WOULD NOT pack your breakfast even if you ask them to so that you can leave for your flight early. They have corkage for their restaurant area even though their menu is only limited and PRICEY. The food is pricey and yet their menu is basic and not that special. On the contrary, their room service is good. The hotel is very near the beachfront. It was our second time in this hotel.

I requested for a room coz we wanted a room w/ a smart tv so we can watch our fave online game. Anyway, we are given d previous room we had last October, an old room w/ an old tv & stinky barhroom 😩 Breakfast was great, I’m just wondering why they can’t give in to a simple request, I wanted bread instead of rice in one of their set meals 😩 About d Drinking Water - we’ve been to 4star to cheapest hotels, drinking water was never a problem, they have water dispenser every floor, in this hotel u need to ring to request water to drink in a pitcher, it’s a hassle 😩 Staff - teach them to smile, some days are not great but when u see people smiling at u, it changes everything! 😊 I understand how hard their work are, maybe some kulitan makes their work a little lighter, but they MUST also be aware that rooms are not sound proof. We were there to have some rest from our super toxic world back in NCR, housekeeping staffs made a lot of noise & it disturbed us from our naps during noon (i think 3/5 days that we’re there) 😩 Street/Pathway - I believe it is No Smoking on Public Places around Boracay, we needed to cover our nose everytime we walk there, I hope they can report that to authorities for some appropriate actions, nakakasira ng fresh air! 😩
Location, breakfast & price 👍

The pool was a bit smaller than I thought. Many children were there, so we didn't enjoy it, we preferred to go to the beach.
I like the breakfast and the location. Also, the staff was very helpful with the transportation and the bag storage.

Had a slight concerning sound and smell suddenly in the room. We called for the maintenance personnel and it was said it was from a generator from a nearby. I hope they are able to seal the room moving forward. But all else is good!

We were woken up in the morning by construction noises going on on the upper floor of ours. It was unexpected but they should have warned us about it. The room was also not getting cooler.
It’s location was just a few minute walk to the beachfront and other restaurants.

First upon checkin we got a room near pool , there was a bathroom stinky , and got issues with my room. But I called reception and on other day they changed my room so I can’t say a bad word I was satisfied overall with the hotel
Location close to lake , D’mall station 1and 2 beaches ,and back beach is maybe 10min walk . I think it’s good hotel at good price clean rooms and good bed. Breakfast variety is big you can eat each day something new
