Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

This is a Filipino homestay. The owners live in a house next door on the same property. The room is spacious, and the air conditioning works quietly. The garden has a lot of greenery. The whole house is very clean and tidy. Outside, on the terrace, there is seating. Free water is available. The owner is very helpful, friendly, and warm. The beach is a 2-minute walk, and the town center is similarly close. There are many restaurants around. I highly recommend it.

There was no wifi at the homestay, which we didn't know beforehand.
The family running the homestay is very friendly and very helpful. They also offer cheaper deals for the island hopping and the van to the airport. The location is ideal, very close to the beach.

Wifi not good. Water shortage means washing with a bucket, which is fine, but it makes it hard to wash your hands because you don't want to touch the scoop with dirty hands or with sunscreen on your hands because then the large bucket of water is no longer clean. Even when there was water, the pressure was very bad in the shower and you can't use the bidet as it just dribbles out. I think they can add some hanging space in the room seeing as how every activity is water based it would be nice to be able to hang clothes up somewhere. Curtains are smaller than the windows and not very good at keeping out light.
There's a lot to like about this place, mostly it comes down to the people there who were brilliant. The room was very big as well and was clean, it did have aircon which was great (except for power outages). I found sleeping with a fan was fine. You can organise tours directly through the accommodation as they run the tours themselves. Good location (Port Barton is small)

Our room didn’t have AC but there is another one with AC. If you want AC make sure you book the right one.
The staff was excellent, they helped in everything they could (island hopping, van to El Nido). The location is excellent and also they let us to take a shower and spend time in their facilities after our reservation was ended.

Internet/WiFi could be a bit better. It seemed to me that Starlink internet provider is what was working best in the town from the different places I went. I’m guessing they are using a local provider which was dropping a lot.
People were very nice and everything was good with the double room.

Probably your best option in Port Barton, specially if you want to be surrounded by super friendly and helpful people. Very clean room, close to the beach and even though it’s close to the busy part of the village it’s very quiet.

The noise from dogs, roosters, locals doing karaoke in their homes. Bed was pretty hard.
Location can’t be beat, just a small short block off the beach. The host was very nice.
