How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe room is well equipped and clean. The place is 2km away from some restaurants and diving centers. The staff was helpful
The lady who runs the place is not very responsive and she gave some bad information on the ferry. The place is quite isolated which is great for getting a good rest but maybe you’d like to be closer a vibrant area. I rented a scooter and they charge me one extra day even though I used it only for 48h and I had paid for 2 days. I forgot something in the room and they never told me, they just disposed it

Verified reviewGreat stay at Pitaya. Friendly crew, lovely ambience with a shared karaoke moment that really felt native ;-) Solid value for money. Definitely recommend.
Sometimes a bit loud because of karaoke or live music... but that's Philippines and also an invitation to join the fun!

Verified reviewQuite and peaceful with a chill and relaxing vibe to the place.
The interior of the room could do with some renovations and updating. So very brown and green.

Verified reviewNice place in a quiet location, not too far from the busy center by motorbike. Motorbike rental is possible. Very friendly staff and lovely cat and dogs.
There was a problem with our room, but they handled it well and we could change the room.

Verified reviewHe had a lovely time staying here and couldn’t find any fault of the place. Staff was very accommodating and lovely. The place is good location but I would recommend renting a bike to be able to get to the main area. The road to the accommodation is an off road so it does get muddy so bare that in mind. The only thing to mention is that when I booked I thought there was a kettle in the room and one of the mentioned facilities was a kitchen. Although you could get hot water to the water refill I’m not sure what access you had to the kitchen so that was unclear to me.

Small black dots everywhere in the room, might be mold? Also you have to make sure you have fixed a motorbike befor you arrive to make sure you get one, its quite far from everything.

Verified reviewThe owner and the staff were all friendly and accommodating. The bungalow house we stayed in was perfect for us since we brought our dog. They got the basic ameninities so we were able to cook. The entire place is very homey amd cozy.
The place is a bit of a drive from Alona beach. The signage from the road is kinda small and can be easily missed.

Verified reviewI had a great stay here. The room and bed is very comfortable, AC is modern. You have a lot of space outside and the staff is very nice. Also it’s quiet at night because it’s more in the country side. So you’d need a motorbike

Verified reviewIt is wonderful from beginning to end. It's quiet and peaceful. The staff is kind and helpful. Everything is very clean. It had good hot water, a great ductless air conditioner and a fan also. The bed was comfortable and the sheets were nice. There was a nice covered porch area to relax in privacy and the wi-fi was very strong
The only possible downside is the location. There is very little in the way of stores or restaurants nearby.
