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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

United StatesNot having a magnifying mirror in the bathroom. More lighting would help in the bathroom too.
Breakfast is not only good but conveniently located in the lobby. We liked our breakfast voucher options which were more varied and very tasty. Location is great and very close to one of the best malls. The buggy/shuttle and airport shuttle also very helpful in figuring out transportation around the town.

United StatesPrologue resto can use some room to improve customer service& availability of food of choice for breakfast vouchers.coffee should not take long to be served.Most liked food eg: arrozcaldo shld.be available till 10am breakfast time. Servers said it was in demand…then for the guests sake cook more of what guests like. What’s the marketing dept. doing?..and pls don’t ignore aruga’s guests when they appear at the entrance..be courteous enough to seat them with enthusiasm not with “flat facial expression” which makes guests feel unwelcome.
We had a pleasant comfortable relaxing 8 days stay at Aruga. Mark& Lloyd always made sure we came home to a very clean, well supplied,well organized room. Requests for kitchen& room needs were delivered on time .Their courtesy,smiles& respect for guests were exceptional. Team Aruga always offered their assistance from the time we entered the door on check-in,concierge,service center calls,security on the premises ,basement parking,exit to the mall until check out time. Aruga will be our residence of choice when we return.

AustraliaThere wasn't much not to like but a few suggestions for the room would be to have additional garbage bags and a dish rack to dry dishes would make things easier but this is a small non issue really.
Aruga was fantastic. Great location and well cared for property.very safe to approach the street and walk around the area.the room is exactly as advertised and all pictures were accurate. The pool area was beautiful. Room was very spacious and clean and the beds and pillows were big and comfortable. Even the housekeeping went above my expectations washing our dishes and fluffing our beds daily. The staff were more than accommodating and did everything they could to make our stay pleasurable. Paul at the front desk and Ian on the door were particularly lovely and greeted us with big smiles as all staff did. Special mention to Paul who located my daughters phone she left in a grab car and made it his personal mission to have this returned. This went beyond our expectations but was so appreciated. Thankyou Paul. Staff took us on a little tour of makati in the buggy car which my kids loved. We will absolutely return and can't wait to stay at Aruga again.
