|---|---|---|---|
| Field ResidencesSucat, Parañaque | 8.4/ 10 | 6.5/ 10 | 8.6/ 10 Airbnb 4.8/5, 4.9/5, 4.8/5, 4.9/5, 4.8/5, 4.8/5 · 87 reviews · airbnb.com Booking.com 9.5/10, 9.2/10, 9.4/10, 9.6/10, 9.6/10, 9/10, 10/10 · 26 reviews · booking.com Combined from 13 published figures on 2 platforms, weighted by review count, adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint where reviews are few: 8.6. |
The largest qualifying review base is the Google/Maps Building 4 rating of 4.4/5 from 94 reviews, which converts to 8.2 under the requested curve. The evidence adds consistent praise for location, security, staff and amenities, while older construction-quality concerns and a small number of maintenance/access complaints temper the result; guest-platform ratings are higher but describe short stays. | |||
Structural evidence is mixed and mostly unit-level or older: one review described construction quality as “so-so,” said doors and cabinets were “not sturdy,” and reported that sounds carried between units. A later guest review said “Elevator not working,” while another review alleged the “Overhead water tank rarely cleaned”; these are reported incidents, not evidence of a confirmed systemic failure. | Day-to-day feedback is generally favorable: reviewers describe the building as “safe secure” with “very polite” staff, and repeatedly praise the location, pools, grounds and nearby SM Sucat. The main friction points are parking cost/availability and strict guest access; one review also described occasional maintenance delays and noise disturbances, while the older review found the security arrangement potentially bypassable through a rear entrance. | ||
| Spring ResidencesParañaque | 8.2/ 10 | —/ 10 | 6.6/ 10 Booking.com 10/10, 7.5/10, 7.5/10, 7.5/10, 7.5/10, 10/10 · 1 review · booking.com Combined from 6 published figures on 1 platform, weighted by review count, adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint where reviews are few: 6.6. |
Google’s building listing supplies the largest review base, 4.4/5 from 115 reviews, which converts to 8.2/10 under the specified curve. The written feedback is mixed: location, security and air conditioning are praised, while outages, limited amenities, lobby service and a current resident repair-assessment dispute temper the result. The structural score remains null because no published structural rating was found. | |||
One Google review described the rooms as having “okay size and build quality” and “good aircon,” but also reported weak water pressure and power/internet outages lasting 3–8 hours. A September–October 2026 resident petition alleges a ₱31.5M assessment for exterior-wall redecorating and roof re-waterproofing, with comments describing the original decoration as poorly done; this is a resident-reported dispute, not an independently verified engineering finding. | Published guest feedback consistently values the location and security: one reviewer called it “walking distance to SM Bicutan” and “very secure,” while another praised a host who was “very approachable and accommodating.” The main operational criticism was that “lobby staff are hostile and useless,” alongside minimal amenities, paid and sometimes closed pools, and outages lasting several hours. | ||
| Vine ResidencesQuezon City2,056 units | 8.0/ 10 | —/ 10 | 8.3/ 10 Booking.com 8.7/10, 9.4/10, 8.8/10, 9.4/10, 9.4/10 · 4 reviews · booking.com Airbnb 4.9/5, 5/5, 4.9/5, 4.9/5, 4.9/5 · 15 reviews · airbnb.com Combined from 10 published figures on 2 platforms, weighted by review count, adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint where reviews are few: 8.3. |
Google’s 4.2/5 from 88 reviews is the largest review base and converts to 7.6/10 under the specified curve. Smaller guest platforms are more positive, while the reported recurring complaints about elevators, noise and crowded amenities warrant only a limited commentary adjustment; no structure score is assigned because the evidence does not publish a structure-specific aggregate. | |||
The published review material contains one recurring systems complaint: “The lifts regularly break down,” with another staycation account describing the elevator as “hit or miss” and sometimes involving long waits. No published review evidence located here establishes broader problems with the framework, plumbing, HVAC, electrical infrastructure or waterproofing, so those areas are left unevaluated. | Daily-life feedback is mixed. Positive reviews call the location accessible, the facilities clean and the staff very nice, while negative feedback says children can be noisy “all day and into the night,” the pool is “dirty and crowded with kids,” and access to the pool tickets was troublesome. These are resident and short-stay observations, not a current engineering or management audit. | ||
| Green 2 ResidencesDasmariñas3,254 units | 7.8/ 10 | 6.8/ 10 | 7.3/ 10 |
Google Reviews/Maps provides the largest applicable review base found for the building, 4.1/5 from 64 reviews, which converts to 7.3/10 under the specified curve. The displayed written feedback supports both strong amenities/cleanliness and operational weaknesses, especially elevator availability and some service/upkeep complaints; these offset rather than justify a large additional movement. The structure figure is lower because the available physical-condition evidence is concentrated in repeated elevator and equipment complaints rather than a dedicated structural rating. | |||
The published resident/occupant feedback identifies elevator reliability as the clearest physical-systems issue: one reviewer said that only “two or three” of five elevators were usually working and another said half were “always under maintenance.” The same review reported hot elevator cars, broken gym treadmills and cockroaches around a full trash room; these observations sit alongside project documentation listing passenger/service elevators, a sewage-treatment plant, cistern, fire systems and generator provisions, which describes installed facilities but does not prove current operating condition. | Daily-life reviews are mixed. Positive comments call the property “very clean and safe,” praise the pool and gym, and say “management is always available,” but negative reviews describe five-to-seven-minute elevator waits, a gym that opens at 11 a.m., full trash cans and rude or impatient staff; these are user reports from different dates, not a current management statement. | ||
| Glam ResidencesQuezon City | 7.6/ 10 | —/ 10 | 7.6/ 10 |
The building-specific listing publishes 4.2/5 from 350 reviews, which is the only qualifying aggregate rating located and therefore sets the anchor at 7.6/10 under the requested conversion curve. The written material includes both praise for convenience, staff, cleanliness and the pool and isolated complaints about maintenance and follow-through, but not enough repeated evidence to apply a commentary deduction. | |||
The published review material contains one physical-condition complaint: “The only downside is that the building is not neatly maintained.” A separate review said the buildings were “very clean and well maintained,” so the limited physical evidence is mixed; no published review evidence located here addresses plumbing, HVAC, electrical systems, leaks, waterproofing, lifts, or structural integrity directly. | Reviewers praised the on-site commercial area, nearby restaurants, helpful staff and pool; one described it as a “quiet, peaceful environment.” Negative operational feedback included “Never follow through with promises,” while another reviewer said the building was “not neatly maintained.” | ||
| Shore 3 ResidencesPasay5,382 units | 7.4/ 10 | —/ 10 | 6.6/ 10 Annu-Hotel 8.5/10, 8.1/10, 7.9/10, 8/10, 8.2/10, 8.8/10, 8.7/10 · 19 reviews · zh-tw.annu-hotel.com Combined from 7 published figures on 1 platform, weighted by review count, adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint where reviews are few: 6.6. |
Google Reviews/Maps has the largest applicable review base and sets the level at 4.2/5, converted to 7.6/10 under the specified curve. The guest platforms are materially more positive but are short-stay evidence, while the directly read reviews add recurring moderate complaints about noise, construction, security procedures and pool condition; after limited commentary adjustment, the overall resident-experience score is 7.3/10. No defensible structure score is assigned because the published material does not rate the building's engineering systems. | |||
The published feedback contains no engineering assessment of the frame, plumbing, HVAC or electrical systems. It does include physical-condition complaints: one guest reported construction in “most of the units in our floor,” while another said the walls were so thin that they could hear everything next door; these are reported user experiences, not proof of a building-wide structural defect. | Daily-life feedback is mixed. Guests praised the location, furnishings, views and amenities, including one review saying the property was “very close to Mall of Asia,” but others described guards repeatedly stopping them, “many weird rules” for visitors, and a pool that was “filthy”; the Google aggregate is 4.2/5 from 169 reviews as published on the place page. These observations combine resident-oriented property evidence with short-stay reviews, so they should not be read as a pure long-term-resident survey. | ||
| Fame Residences Tower 4Mandaluyong | 7.2/ 10 | 6.8/ 10 | 7.2/ 10 |
The largest applicable published aggregate is Synara’s 4.1/5 from 216 reviews for the Fame Residences cluster, converted to 7.3/10. The four Tower 4-specific reviews are uniformly positive, but broader cluster evidence reports elevator outages, long waits and management delays; because those problems are not proven Tower 4-only, they support only a modest adjustment rather than a full tower-level penalty. | |||
The Tower 4-specific page describes a “well-maintained building,” while the broader Fame Residences review material reports that “1 or 2 elevators are not working out of 4” and, elsewhere, waits of up to 45 minutes. Those lift complaints are cluster-level evidence and cannot be confirmed as Tower 4-only; no published Tower 4-specific plumbing, HVAC, electrical or waterproofing review was located. | The four Tower 4 reviews praise the location, amenities, security and community; one says the property is “well-maintained” with “responsive management.” Broader cluster reviews are more cautionary, describing management as stalling complaints, elevator waits, and cockroaches or dirty/closed pools, so the current day-to-day picture is mixed and the negative reports are not all tower-specific. | ||
| Lush ResidencesMakati | 7.2/ 10 | 7.1/ 10 Agoda 8.7/10 · 135 reviews · agoda.com Agoda publishes 8.7/10 from 135 reviews. Adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall, and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint (more strongly the fewer the reviews), that gives 7.1. | 6.9/ 10 Agoda 9.3/10, 8.7/10, 8/10, 8/10 · 135 reviews · agoda.com Combined from 4 published figures on 1 platform, weighted by review count, adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint where reviews are few: 6.9. |
Agoda’s building-specific guest aggregate of 8.3/10 from 135 reviews sets the level; under the supplied guest conversion curve this is approximately 6.6/10 before commentary. The score is modestly lifted by repeated praise for staff responsiveness, complaint handling and upkeep, while the negative room and amenity reports prevent a stronger living assessment; there is no reliable building-wide evidence of structural failure. | |||
Guest feedback is generally positive about the physical accommodation: one verified Agoda review called the property “beautifully designed and consistently upkept,” while another reported a “well-maintained reception area.” A Rent By Owner review nevertheless described a “small and weak” air conditioner, weak shower spray and a strong mothball smell; these are individual guest reports rather than evidence of a building-wide structural defect. | Short-stay reviews describe staff and host interaction positively: guests said communication was “smooth by WhatsApp,” staff were “Friendly,” and one reviewer said the owner was “very responsive.” The main operational criticisms were that parking was in another building and that one guest found the pool charge and listing description mismatched; Agoda’s verified-review summary also records “excellent security measures” and a well-maintained reception area. | ||
| Red ResidencesMakati1,106 units | 6.9/ 10 | —/ 10 | 5.9/ 10 |
Google Reviews/Maps provides the largest published review base at 25 reviews and sets the level: 3.7/5 converts to 6.1 on the specified curve. The reported recurring management complaints outweigh the smaller body of recurring praise slightly, producing 5.9 overall and for living quality; no sufficiently developed structural rating or evidence supports a separate structure score. | |||
The available physical-condition feedback is limited and generally favorable: one reviewer wrote “nice elevators ... no bugs,” while another described the condo as “clean, well-maintained.” No published review located in this research reported flooding, leaks, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, façade or other serious building-system failure. | Daily-life feedback is mixed: reviewers praised the “fantastic” lobby, pool, gym, views and “incredibly nice” staff, while owner reviews complained of “super delayed turnover,” repeated follow-ups and “lack of customer service.” A separate resident review called the location convenient and amenities good but flagged high HOA fees; the short-stay feedback also mentions paying to use the pool. |
