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...).

Saudi ArabiaA bit noisy from local / neighbour hotel bar with live music at the weekends until 11pm. Not ideal if rising super early in the morning for diving - but under the hotel’s control. Breakfast was functional but nothing particularly standout.
Good location on the beachfront. Friendly, attentive, kind and professional staff. Reputable dive centre partnering in main building. Nice personable touches each day per room and all round good quality.

Germanybreakfast buffett was comparatively boring (except the fresh juices!), all in all not the cheapest place
lovely compound with a lush garden, beautiful lighting; the bungalow was well designed, clean and spacious, beds super comfy, the shower was very good, the staff was amazin, the welcome procedure in itself outstanding; free calamansi-infused water while you sit on the beach; genuinely liked the restaurant (try the philippine tapas!)

Beautiful place, directly on the beach. This is how you imagine your stay on an island. The boat that transferred us to the island stopped directly at the beach of the hotel. The views are simply wonderful. Nice atmosphere, and very friendly, helpful staff.

IndonesiaOur credit cards did not work on reception’s ATM machine when we checked out. All of our 5 credit cards did not work & gave “Refusal”. Apparently it’s common for asian’s credit card, but somehow our US credit card also did not work. Make sure to bring extra cash in case your card does not work.

United StatesThere was no hot water in the sink of the bathroom. Diver alert - the dive center at the hotel is very expensive. Easily 50% more then most dive shops. It’s managed by a separate company than the hotel. When we asked why the price difference there was no explanation. Many good dive shops in the area - so google your way if you want better pricing.
It’s a beautiful property on the beach. Staff is super professional and nice. Great restaurant and overall the vibe of the property is super cool.

United KingdomOnly gripe is nothing to do with the hotel. At some other venue nearby, on the sunday night very very loud music prevented us from sleeping well which which is a pain when you have to get up at 0430 to get ready for diving. It went on until at least 1 am. It was clearly organised event and I don’t know if it happens every Sunday.
Location was excellent if you are a diver and want to see thresher sharks. Great dive operation on site. The room was comfortable with a lovely balcony. The restaurant was great, very convenient and the food varied and delicious. The staff were great and very helpful. Having a cocktail by the beach watching the sunsets, which were beautiful, was a wonderful experience.

FranceWe realised when we left that the transfer price from Cebu city that we paid to the hotel was extremely high (and cash only) compared to other ways. Maybe explain to your guests that there is other and 5 times cheaper options to come from Cebu city to Malapascu (public minivan etc...).
This place is a little paradise where every detail has been thought after, nothing missing in my opinion !
