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...).

We LOVED our stay here! The room was surprisingly big, super clean, there was a fridge, water cooker, table with chairs, the bed was also really big and comfy, nice clean shower, they clean the room whenever you want with fresh new towels. The staff is really kind and helpful, they have three wonderful sweet dogs which made the stay even more fun. Breakfast is really good (we recommend the vegetable omelette!) and flexibel, many options, adjustments are possible. The stay is 70 meters away from one of our favorite beaches on the island; Diniwid beach which is ideal. Because it's like 10-15 minutes away from the 'centre' we rented a motorbike so we could explore the whole island by ourselves. We loved that the place was in a more quiet, less crowded area, everything was simply perfect, we really enjoyed our 9 nights stay here and we will definitely come back.

Friendly and always available staff. 2-minute walk from beautiful and quite Diniwid beach, away from the busy White Sand Beach. The hotel sits at the end of Diniwid Rd, where there always tricycles and scooters available should you need a ride somewhere. Breakfast was great. Highly recommend this hotel if you're looking for a quiet getaway in an idyllic setting.

Amazing stay! Our flight got canceled so we had to skip the first two nights of our stay, but the hosts were really kind and let us keep the booking. Initially we booked a double room but thanks to understanding of the hosts we ended up living in the penthouse and the room with veranda. Penthouse: AMAZING! The night sky view you get from the rooftop and the garden is insanely beautiful. The garden is huge and is perfect for evening gatherings, couple of drinks and sunset viewing. The penthouse has a separate dining room with kitchenette and all cooking supplies - even blenders, pans, glasses etc. The bathroom is very comfortable and spacious with all necessary amendments like bidet, toothbrush, shampoos. Double room with veranda: veranda is really cozy and the room is lovely too. But if you are considering between getting a penthouse or not, go for penthouse all the way! Breakfasts. You can select among 10 breakfasts choices and they will cook it for you right there. Breakfasts were always fresh and delicious, I highly recommend getting them with your stay. Location. It’s only 2 mins walk to Diniwid beach which is sort of secluded with not many tourists. If you want to go to white beach, it’s about 10-15 mins walk through the beach (not good for kids and old people) or can take an e-trike. around 10 mins ride to d-mall, and costs about 200php. Rooms are throughly cleaned, the beds are soft and huge, staff is polite and welcoming. They have three dogs on the property who will be sharing breakfast with you :) You can also ask for beach towels when you go to swim. Thank you for making our stay so comfortable!

United States of AmericaThere is/was absolutely nothing to complain about.
Outstanding property. Great value for the cost. I love the attention to detail from the staff to the rooms to the breakfast. Breakfast with 4 options and enough to get you going for the day. Property is steps away from the beach (Less than 2-3 min walk). Staff were amazing. The rooms were excellent and as shown online. I was extremely comfortable and really enjoyed my time in Boracay and most of all at Sulu Sea Boutique Hotel. Hosta were very kind and eager to share any / all information about Boracay. This is definitely a gem in Boracay.

Sulu Sea Boutique Hotel is a wonderful property with wonderful management and staff. Property was just steps away from a beautiful beach and also a couple great bars and restaurants. Breakfast was good and filling. Rooms were just as shown online and everything worked well. Air condition was an added plus to the room. Great stay, nice property and an opportunity to catch up on some rest. Extra kudos to the wonderful staff at Sulu Sea Boutique Hotel.

United States of AmericaThere were, of course, some less pleasant moments: First, and perhaps most importantly, a design flaw meant water did not drain properly into the sewer, creating a pond after every shower. With my condition, this was deadly. I spent the first night just thinking about that puddle. The hotel is home to 3 dogs on a permanent basis. Dogs smell. I think you can guess the rest. My room was downstairs. It had no window, only a door to the garden. So, if I wanted sunlight, I had to open the curtains, and everyone walking through the garden could see inside my room. Lack of privacy and light. Every day, the room above me moved furniture and woke me up. Also unpleasant. I asked guys to refill the shower gel in the bathroom couple of times from day 2, but they never did until the end of my stay. I didn't want to remind them again.
Choosing this hotel was a brilliant idea! I even extended my stay there. First off, the beach is just a few minutes walk away, a nice beach and not as noisy as White Beach. If it's your first time in the Philippines, like it was for mine, definitely go for it. Taxis are readily available at the corner, ready to take you wherever you need. You can also walk to White Beach. VERY CLEAN! Believe me, with my OCD, I'm telling you, it's very clean. Daily cleaning is provided, just remember to remind them. The bed is comfortable. Laundry service available as well. The staff is extremely friendly. After Thailand, I was quite surprised that it could be like this. I can say that this is one of the best places I've stayed during my entire time in the Philippines. I didn't eat at the restaurant, so I can't comment on the food.

GermanyI only have two things to complain of: I was asking to book me a transfer from the airport to the hotel around 4 weeks before my trip. But when i arrived, the southwest company who is doing the transfer had no booking at all for me. It was embarrassing and annoying for me. In the end it was super simple to do my own booking at the airport, but please do not offer to book a transfer if you do not do it in the end. Second complain: In the description they say they have a restaurant/bar there, so i expected a bar/restaurant inside or at least as a part of the hotel. But that was wrong, the hotel only offers breakfast. The bar/restaurant is at the beach and does not belong to the hotel. So, please, do not mention a bar/restaurant if you do not have one at your hotel. Feels like cheating...
I stayed at the penthouse on the top floor and had a huge terrace in front of my room plus only one stairs up to the rooftop. The view is amazing, you are having a 360° view around that area. The hotel is on a hill so you can look very far. You also have a great view of the sunset from the terrace. It is also in a quite area so its best for a relaxing time. The bedroom has an ac and has the size of a normal hotel room. Bed is comfortable and you have many different lights in there. The penthouse has an additional room with a bar/kitchen, fridge and a huge dining table. Its great to stay indoors in case it is raining heavyily outside. The bathroom is super nice and big. It is very convenient, that the hotel is that close to the Diniwid beach. It is easy to walk there in two minutes. Any time i asked the staff for cleaning up or any other assistance, it was done immediately. Next time i go to Boracay i will definitely take that room again.

DenmarkOne potential consideration for future guests is that the hotel is pet-friendly. While this is great for pet lovers, those with dog allergies might want to take note. If you have sensitivities, it's advisable to inquire about the hotel's pet policy beforehand to ensure a comfortable stay.
I recently stayed at Sulu Sea Boutique Hotel and it was a fantastic experience. The staff and owners were incredibly welcoming and helpfull making my stay enjoyable. The cleanliness of the hotel was impressive, and its location added convenience to my trip. I highly recommend it for a comfortable and pleasant stay.
