Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

PhilippinesThe aircon was not cold, it’s beachfront hotel but there’s technically no beach shore in front as there is a cement barricade.
It’s bamboo-themed resort. The staff were friendly and were honest with the rates and the tips for the island. Food at the restaurant was good.

GermanyI've been before to the Amihan Beach Cabanas next door which also is a top location. So comparing both: if you want direct beach access, please note that you have to either walk a few steps outside the resort and a few steps down a concrete wall. It did not disturb me but some people complained about it. At ABC that's nicer. Ants: there were a few (1-2 I saw per day) in the room (suite 1) and it did not bother me. But some complained about it and they are there. Breakfast: it's ok and there are several options but these are very basic. Breakfast at ABC is better. Towels: you get two. Not more. If you ask for more you reluctantly get a couple more. At ABC they provide you with with 4 as standard. Water pressure of the shower: some complained that it is low. They are right: it is low. Acceptable but low. No big mirror. Wardrobe only in the bathroom and not very convenient to open. Pool: there is none. No big deal but the small infinity pool at ABC is great. Especially when you jump out of the sea and just quickly get rid of the salty water. Design of the resort: ABC is so clean and well designed. Coral Blue is ok but not comparable. Water cooker: there is none (at ABC there is). Bar: the bar is very basic. The bar at ABC is great (even though the prices are high). But you can walk to the ABC in two minutes and enjoy your cocktails there even if you are not a resort guest. Bad smell in the bathroom: there was some a couple of days (not every day). But after room cleaning was there, it was always gone. Just ask at the reception to take of it and they will do.
I've been before to the Amihan Beach Cabanas next door which also is a top location. So comparing both: the staff at the Coral Blue is top notch. I loved that they serve the breakfast directly to your balcony table (without any charge) where you could enjoy it in your private atmosphere. The view is fantastic and iconic (same as in the ABC). The suites are big (82sqm in comparison with 32sqm at the ABC). Food from the restaurant is great and fairly priced (50% less than at ABC and no 10% service charge on top). Internet in the room works fine (at the time I was at ABC there was no internet in the rooms). Scooter rental was 350 per day (at ABC they charged 550). Room service and cleaning are good. Safe deposit box: there is one (not so at the ABC). Big TV screen (but didn't use it). The room price is fair: 5.5k per night for the suite (about 8k for the ABC). The location is great: within 5 walking minutes you are in the center of Santa Fe with all its restaurants, bars, stores and shops (same as with ABC next door). In summary: would book both again. Each has its strength. Both are top resorts for relaxation and are highly recommended. Thumbs up for the Coral Blue Oriental!

First, the staff are really nice, the accommodations were in a native style which was really great. The location was awesome and even though the beach was not very clean it was really nice as well. The food was tasty and the price was quite good 👍

United KingdomHaving to walk through the shower area to get to the sink and toilet is rather odd, as you get wet feet if the shower has been used recently. if you get breakfast included in your booking, they only offer a Filipino breakfast and you have to pay extra to have anything different.
Excellent location right on the beach, but also close enough to the restaurants and bars in town. The room are cleverly designed out of bamboo and the balcony overlooking the sea is an excellent place to chill. Staff always happy to help and serve with a smile.

NetherlandsEven though the design is good, the house is being eaten since it is made out of bamboo. It could thus be better protected. There is no water pressure, so a shower is not really nice. The fan and airco make a lot of noise, which takes a while to get used to.
The staff is super friendly. There are amazing dogs on duty to protect you. They have a local breakfast The view every morning is just amazing The Architecture of the building makes it look like out of a dream. The building design is well thought off.
