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.).

Beautiful location and the huts were so nice! We loved the bathroom (I think they have been renovated) and the daily cleaning was super. Very friendly staff and you can rent cheap motorbike

DenmarkWe were there in rain season so we had SO many bugs that would get in the villa even though we kept the Doors closed. Luckily we had a mosquito net to sleep under :-) Also if we had to mention something, the bathroom and shower are a little old. But these are very small things and overall the place is really great!
Such a calm place by a beautiful beach. Staff is amazing and we loved the sweet dogs living around the place. Location is perfect in Malinao village and you only have a 10 minute scooter ride to General Luna. There is an okay restaurant right next to the hotel if you dont want to cook but stay close to the hotel.

JapanIt was quite loud, there were karaoke parties nearby all the time, dogs were barking/howling in the middle of the night, roosters were crowing in the morning, neighbors turned the music on, boats were leaving from the beach in the morning ...
The bungalow was very nice with a small porch and a large bathroom. The outdoor kitchen was really convenient for having breakfast without having to go to General Luna. The beach was amazing for taking long walks (swimming not so much). Scooter rental was easy. Airport Transfer was good.

SwedenLow pressure in the shower. And the dogs were cute, but at night they would hang out on my porch and howl which was pretty annoying.
I loved my little bungalow! Beautiful and right next to the beach. The staff was really nice and helpful. Perfect if you want a getaway. I recommend asking the staff to rent a scooter to go on trips around the island. It’s very easy to drive here! I also see reviews complaining about how there’s no restaurant, but the resort next door has a nice restaurant with good prices.

United StatesIt is not very close to town but that’s why the beach is so private and perfect.
The beach in front of the property was our favorite beach in all of Siargao. Every morning we would walk just a few steps from the bungalow to the water and had the entire beach to ourselves. The staff was very nice and we enjoyed playing with the dogs on the property.

FranceMy only negative remarks is that there is no rooters for having internet in the rooms. Please no stories of saving us from social media there is many other purpose for needing a connection this days. This is essential in a standing resort as you have, but I am confident Ferra will manage this soon.
Thank all the staff! That makes the difference and this place the best place I have stayed in Philippines. Of course the location is totally perfect: the front white sand beach is so nice everyday, the water is clear when the tide is up and so quiet, the garden in front of the kubo and bungalow look like a dream, all just in from the sea. I needed a special place for building up a special project, I could not choose a better place. 10 days and saw many kinds of travelers, of any ages, all so happy, even a Philippines married couple that was received like in a movie. Thanks Rem welcoming me so early in the morning and open my room (no extra charge), there was nothing that was missing in all my stay, always present, all the information I needed to move out, so kind. Same for Jeffrey who manage this place with her, so gentle & professional, I felt in the good hands with you and thank for the discount for few days extensions! Thanks you both for maintaining, making sure everything was perfect in Ferra. Thanks Jenith, always smiling at the front office, present, beautiful & gentle, also taking so much care of my room. Thank Juliet for cleaning my room, terrace every mornings like perfect. And last thanks to A.J serious & smiling finalizing is studies of hospitality management. Lulu (Stéphane) - location 15 mn of G.Luna, easy, taxi any time or by scouter(they Rent-lower price) - new Air com, towels, beach towel, sheet change on command(please safe energy) - bathroom, mineral water tank, shower product. Unlimited hot water(safe energy) - Ferra as is own generator for power cut - kitchen out & place to eat.
