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.).

PhilippinesThe staff at the restaurant are only welcoming and friendly to non-Filipino guests
The place is quiet, clean, and comfy. The bed is big and super comfy to sleep in. It looks exactly like what you see in the photos. The bathroom has complete essentials including hand cream and body lotion. The lady receptionist, I forgot her name, is always smiling and friendly unlike the male receptionist. Staff at the bar are also friendly.

Portugalall good. getting to Malapascua requires some effort but Ocean Vida and the dives & snorkeling made it worth it !
We had a fantastic stay! The location is perfect—right in front of the sea—and the staff were incredibly helpful, even assisting us in organizing a snorkeling trip around the island. The on-site restaurant was very good, with friendly staff who also made sure we had breakfast ready for our early diving trips. The beach area is lovely, and our room was spacious and comfortable. My wife visited the spa at the sister resort and was very happy with the experience. A highlight of our trip was the excellent dive center on site. Special thanks to our dive instructor, Alex, for some truly unforgettable dives!

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.

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.

The resort is right on the beach, with bar and restaurant serving delicious food and drinks the whole day!! Breakfast is good and offers different options daily, food is covered with foil to prevent flies (something we didn’t see often in the Philippines). Cold water is always available and bottle refill for a minimum charge of 25 pesos. A little to no plastic is used and plenty of shade. The reception is really helpful and will help you with anything you may need (including finding a good massage). Right at the bar there is also the dive center offering curses and fun dives (EXCEPTIONAL). What we liked the most is the family atmosphere, the staff is great, friendly attentive helpful and welcoming!! We thank JM, Eileen, Karen, Shara and the rest of the staff for making our week in Malapascua amazing!

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.
