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...).

AustraliaI don't have any negatives about it

SlovakiaThere’s literally nothing.
We had a superb time in Melbas. The apartment was super clean and cozy and the owner Eduardo with his family and Mr. Torres who had guided us over there are the most kindness people we have ever met. It was really beautiful time we spent there and I feel really sorry for ourselves we haven't had more time to stay in this little paradise. We totally recommend this place to all the travelers coming to Cebu. Oh, just not to forget, it's worth mentioning, that the cuisine is absolutely amazing here.

PhilippinesI would have liked a pool, but there is a small beach where you can access the ocean.
The food is great! Eduardo (husband of Melba) is a classically trained chef and he has diverse menu. The entire staff were very friendly and made me feel at home.

United States of AmericaNothing, except me being a light sleeper heard the dogs a bit at night. But not bad. I still got a very good night’s sleep.
Boutique, clean, attention to detail, private beach, good restaurant, nice patio, good location, peaceful setting, romantic vibe, fairly new, strong WiFi, beautiful area, great customer service. Eduardo is a world travelled chef and was good to talk to him.

United States of AmericaThis place was so nice right on the water and the grounds were beautiful. The restaurant was very good, we had all our meals on a table next to the water with a fantastic view. The owner was so nice and helpful, he help me find a motor bike to rent and provided a ride to the bus station when it was time to leave. The rooms were like brand new, very clean with hot water. Another thing I liked about the place it’s out of the way a little bit and it was nice to be out of the main tourist areas which were not that far away. It was a relaxing stay and would go back there again some day.

RussiaCheck-in - we arrived at 8 pm, but the rooms were not ready yet. The place is not quiet - one day a music rehearsal began at 6 am (the hotel has a restaurant with live music).
The owner of the hotel is a responsive and pleasant person, helps with any questions. Spacious and comfortable room. Yard overlooking the sea. Restaurant on a tree. Very good breakfast.
