Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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...).

United KingdomThere is no restaurant or bar at the property but this isn’t a problem as the town is only a short walk away with lots of restaurants and there is the option of ordering for delivery from a local Italian. Would recommend this for a stay in Port Barton.
This is a really special property, with a very homely feel. Regine and her team were incredibly welcoming and willing to help. The bedrooms are very comfortable, particularly the beds.

PhilippinesMore than the comfortable rooms and well-kept facilities, it was Ate Regine and the entire staff of La Palapa Inn who truly made our stay relaxing and remarkable. We visited Port Barton during the rainy season, which meant rough roads and tough trails. We weren’t even able to complete both our inland and island tours because of the unpredictable weather. Despite that, we genuinely enjoyed our time at La Palapa. The staff went out of their way to keep us well-informed about navigating Port Barton, from recommending food spots to helping us book tuktuks. They were always prepared—since it rained constantly, they even provided umbrellas for guests to borrow. What stood out the most was how warm, approachable, and genuinely congenial the staff were; every interaction felt sincere and welcoming, which made us feel right at home. All in all, our stay was both nice and unforgettable. We’ll definitely return to La Palapa Inn and recommend it to friends and family. Can't wait to go back there!

AustraliaBeautiful property that you can tell a lot of love has gone into. Loved the pool area and the huge amount of chilling space in the grounds. Everything was kept very clean. Rooms are good, with big balconies. The loveliest staff we have come across on our Philippines trip, thank you Ronamee (sorry for spelling), you were amazing!

Staff were nice, hotel was quiet so I slept well, it was away from the beach but still close to everything as port baron is relatively small.

United KingdomWe saw that they were in the process of building a pool which will just make this an even better place to say!
We loved our stay at La Palapa Inn. It was recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, they helped sort our transport, gave us umbrellas for when it rained and answered all of our questions. The rooms were beautiful, immaculately clean and mineral water was always available. It was aesthetically a very beautiful hotel and very in keeping with its surroundings. We would recommend to anyone going to Port Barton.

ItalyWe loved everything!!!
I don't have enough words to describe the kind of kindness of the girls in this accommodation. They were just perfect in everything, always available for any requests, and always focused on the customers needed. The room was so big, clean and bright. The air conditioning was working well, and there was also a fan in the room. The view from the balcony was also beautiful. Free water is available to fill your bottles. The best accommodation in 15 days travels around the Philippines. Absolutely recommend. 💯
