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.).

I love the location, it's near from conveniences, bars, and beach. Also the staff are very accommodating and lovely. Their breakfast is also tasteful plus we appreciate them for serving it even if it's lunch time already because some hotels aren't like that.

ItalyI liked everything but I noticed having lived in Bantayan and the Philippines in the past that prices have now increased a lot(2024) . It's overpriced in my opinion. Also to anybody visiting bantayan for the first time I advice to visit in the month of May (the best) to mid June, end of October, november and start of december and some others, (avoid Easter) for the best mesmerising amazing water colours. End of august to september should be avoided for the wind, seaweed(a lot) and crap coming to shore. Today September 7(for example) we were lucky and water became super beautiful but in September is usually not very common..also check the tides. I became an expert over the years lol
Staff was super nice and the room had nice air con and balcony. Restaurant was really good and original with dishes that you don't normally find in the Philippines such as a variety of Schnitzel dishes and they were very tasty. Close to beach, a few min walk away, sari sari shop next door. Thank You for the kindness

PhilippinesInternet speed could be improved and might not be ideal for those looking to get some work remotely. We couldn't load Netflix on the TV. I also had to get some work done and attend some online meetings but wasn't able to because of the poor internet speed.
The staff were very accommodating. We arrived at around 10am and they allowed us to leave our luggage while going around. They also gave honest and helpful recommendations about where to rent a motorbike and where to avail of tour packages. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The air conditioning and water heater worked well. The location was also good. It was about 10 minutes walk from the beach and various restaurants.

JapanNon that I can think of.
I already have a good impression from booking and guiding me to go to Bantayan from SMAKS. I was greeted by lovely staffs and check-in was a breeze. The hotel room had this island vibe and I really love how they incorporate Bantayan Island map. The bed was comfy enough that made me sleep regularly. The terrace is lovely for morning coffee and late night snack place. Food- My stay comes with free breakfast and have good choice of Silog and International choices. Both choices are fantastic. You have to try their Schnitzels at the their restos. Its good. Tours/ Rentals - I got my island tours from them and it was super organized and more tailored. Simply the best. I also rent a motor bike from them which they facilitate from third party and it was cheap. I enjoy biking the island with my own pace. Staffs/Owners- They are really genuine people that make my vacation with ease. Thank you! Overall, I love this hotel so much and can really recommend them to everyone.

PhilippinesThe light from the airconditioner was distracting when sleeping as it was facing directly at us. The pillows were too soft.
I liked everything about the place. The staff were accommodating and hospitable. They served welcome drinks upon our arrival. The room was clean and spacious, there was no distinct smell. The breakfast was superb. It's more than what we paid for. Worth it.
