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.).

RussiaIs is the quiet place where you want to stay in Alona, because closer to the beach there is a lot of people and noise, further... it is just too far away. Also it is close to a nice restaurant G&L and good coffee next door. Staff, rooms - all good. I recommend

AustraliaThe towels were thin and like blankets, the bed only had a sheet, would of been nice if there was a duvet on the bed. The bar was limited and did not have the ingredients for cocktails and shakes which was disappointing as they had a happy hour between 5-8pm. Reception lady did not have much knowledge of tours and the dinner cruise, had to research the information myself.
The rooms were clean, tidy, modern, balcony was lovely and a view of the pool. Pool was great.

PhilippinesThey made us pay for all the canned drinks in the mini bar which exploded due to their fridge being too cold. This should have been removed so guests would not have to pay for the mistake of adjusting the fridge temperature. Wine also rolled out of the fridge upon opening and shattered. NO consideration from staff at all!
Room was clean, pool was great.

SpainVery limited options for a good meal at the restobar. We preferred eating out.
We just spent one night to get our flight to El Nido. It is a few minutes ride from the airport. Alona beach and restaurants at a walking distance. The room was large and cozy. The aircon and the shower were working well.

NorwayHard to find any fault with this hotel, only the coffee at breakfast wasn’t good. If that was better I’d give this 10/10.
We had a personal recommendation from a friend who had stayed here previously, so we were confident that the Alona vida beach hill hotel would suit our needs. The hotel is very clean, good sized rooms with good air conditioning and a huge comfortable bed. Good WiFi throughout the hotel ;via a voucher from reception) lovely clean pool, sun loungers and umbrellas around the pool. Nice area with pool table. There was a safe in the room for valuables and a small refrigerator with drinks and snacks. (To be paid for at reception if consumed) All the staff were very polite and friendly and reception is happy to help with booking tours and airport transfers. There were always staff on reception and a security guard. Nice additional touches such as complimentary toiletries and umbrellas being provided in the room. Location is good, a little of the main road but a couple of good cafes nearby and a short walk (10 minutes) to the beach front.
