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):
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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

PhilippinesThe TV won't connect to the internet during my stay. It was one of the reasons I booked but was not able to enjoy Netflix even once. Reported this to the owner and they said they'll have it checked since its the first tine it happened. Also, area might not be good of you're afraid of dogs. I am not afraid of dogs though but some stray dogs from the neighborhood would bark at you nonstop if you come in during dawn or very early morning and no one is around, seems like they don't want you in. I dont seem to have the freedom to leave and come back any time I want 😅
The caretakers are so kind and helpful. Miss Genna is great too. She allowed me early check in since I arrived before 2PM and everything's ready already. The place is also big and the garden is relaxing. It's also close to both the port and MJ square area. Walking distance.

JapanFor improvement: The shower water pressure is very low. Toilet bowl brush and cleaning agent should be provided. There was no dishwashing soap, but when I asked, they gave me some. Thanks. Airconditioner is noisy. The neighbors across were noisy all night long. It was either purely conversations or radio playing the same songs again and again. They disrupted my sleep. However, this is not Genna's fault.
The location is great. It is close to almost everything. Our room provided us great privacy. We also enjoyed fresh coconuts from Genna's garden and we could take one with us back to Cebu City.

PhilippinesAnts were able to dig a hole in the bathroom door frame. Careful with your food scraps because they will have a feast day.
The location is perfect. Just a minute walk to the beach. Very spacious and has all the basic kitchen facilities to cook your own meals. Wifi is decent. Good enough for video calls.

I like the place it feels like home away from home and the friendly neighborhood and quiet at night. Walking distance to everything and the owner of the place become a good friend of mine now and the care taker become a good friend of mine now too.And we are looking forward to visit them again the next time we’re going to visit my hometown maybe end of this year 😊 We did enjoy the home cooking that save us a lot that always eating out in a restaurants.

PhilippinesThere were no forks, and the pots were tiny. The knife was very sharp, but very small. There weren't enough trash bins inside the house, it would've been nice if there was plastic bags that we could've stuffed things in.
I loved how close it was to Santa Fe's central area for both food, groceries and general leisure. The water was constant, and it was clean. The caretaker/owner was very kind and accommodating! The kitchen was clean, and they did Agree to most requests. I loved that there were public beaches in walking distance, and that you could walk around and find markets, stalls, and food places literally everywhere. Everything was accessible, which was great.

IrelandThe unit is located right next to the road with a covered basketball court a bit further down, so crowds of teens and noisy motorbikes whizzing past all day till late evening. Thumping music, roosters, and construction noise nearly every day we were there. Not recommended for noise sensitive people!
Spacious unit, clean and well maintained. Close to both the port and Santa Fe town.
