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...).

PhilippinesSome of the facilities in the room like the shower head are a bit outdated so it was a little weird to use. The sheets and the blanket had a weird smell and had some stains on it too.
It was very cozy and the room was so spacious; really good for big groups! The staff was very nice and accommodating, they always welcome you with a warm smile.

PhilippinesPlace is spacious, clean, and good. Just note that it is literally in the “hillside” location, so you need to walk up in an inclined road. But its location is great and near to urbiztondo beach nonetheless. Also very near to famous food spots like Miryenda, Silong, Karruba Cafe, and few minutes or one tricycle away from flotsam & jetsam.

PhilippinesIt was located at the top of a hill which meant a long trek up. It was nothing for us but may be tough for others.
It was excellent value for money. The family room we had was very clean and the aircon and toilet facilities worked efficiently throughout our stay. We were 8 adults sharing one toilet and I was worried it would overstress the toilet, but everything worked perfectly. We didn’t mind too much waiting for our turn because we were a close knit group.

PhilippinesThe restroom really needs an exhaust fan, otherwise, people need to open the door outside so the whole room won't smell. The dining utensils should also match the people that are staying inside the room. Having a controlled heater would be a nice addition as well.
The place is convenient as it is near the beach and away from the noisy main road. The room is also comfortable and has an AC. The caretaker was also accommodating.

QatarFor improvement: bathroom needs deep cleaning (toilet, floor and sink) with some chemicals to remove stains and urine smell, and the toilet flash needs repair. Then hopefully toiletries and towels will provided on our next stay. For uphill walk is nothing we can do. Going up is good for exercise and work on your lower extremities.
The staff were friendly and accommodating. Upon arrival they welcomed us. The room was spacious, bed is comfy (2 double decks and 1 solo bed - good for 5-10pax), available dining space&table, sink with plates & utensils. The place is good for family or group of friends to hang out. Good place to rest because it's located uphill and away from noisy areas. Lots of parking space for guests with vehicles. Place is nearby to everything, walking distance to all restaurants, Convenient store, bars, surf beach resort, ATM and other apatells/hostels. Friendly advise for commutets (new arrivals) in LU, 150php is the regular rate from Partas Bus Terminal going to 7/11 in front of Tagpuan Resto Urbitztondo Street to wherever your destination of resting place.

It is ideally situated within a comfortable walking distance to the beach and for visiting the restaurants, bars and coffee shops.

PhilippinesI was not aware about the absence of toiletries but good thing our family is ready :-)
The feeling of exclusivity. It is away from the high way thus we were able to sleep soundly. They have very clean rooms. They have dining set, pantry/kitchen area (although guest are not allowed to cook) and clean bathroom. The water for bathing is warm, just enough temperature to relax the tired body. They have very accommodating staff. The owner Mr Kayo is very approachable.
