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.).

CanadaI wrote my longer review in my last post. We stayed for 6 nights and it was excellent. Good location, very clean and the friendliest and nicest staff ever. There was nothing they ever said “no” to. They always found a way to make it work out well. Laundry on sight as well. Super convenient!

CanadaThe road coming to the property isn’t well paved (as with many roads in Moalboal) so when it rains it gets quite muddy all over the town. Not the hotel’s fault.
The staff is exceptionally kind and helpful. The restaurant on sight has a lot of options for food and not badly priced for the beachfront location and ease. There are tons of restaurants about a 8-10 min walk away and some even closer. We loved the wood fired pizza place 3 mins from the property. It’s across from a little travel agency/group. Jomar and his staff there helped plan our sardine run, whale sharks and canyoneering as well as the return trip to the airport. His prices were exceptionally good. Very reliable and 10/10 experience for us. I know the hotel also arranges dives as it’s a dive resort but we didn’t end up using them as we ran out of time to do any padi course. However, it looked really organized and lots of people were saying how excellent the padi course was with the hotel. It takes about 3 days. The hotel was clean, breakfast was good and the staff always had a smile on their face. If I return to moalboal I would stay here for sure.

United KingdomThe rooms have no TV but who takes holidays to watch telly . The rooms were basic but nice , the hotel is located at the quiet end of the beach , if you want it wilder with white. Beaches you have to travel more North but we were happy with this hotel & would return
Very tricky place to get to , rocky & granite paths not a pleasure to walk it but once you get there , wow . Rooms built in a U shaped area looking out to sea. To get down it there’s steps bit disappointed mostly all rocks . They have a lovely restaurant literally over the sea we’re you have terrific views of the ocean ‘ shawls of fish directly beneath

BelgiumBungalows' facilities could be freshened' up, especially the aircon which was a bit old and noisy.
Very nice location right in front of the sea where you can snorkel, and with a great in-house scuba diving shop. Great dive instructors, you can decide which fun dives to join every day out of the three proposed. Swimming pool is also great to relax.

FranceRestaurant is very poor, both the breakfast options and the menu. The dive shop has slightly higher rates than the others. The dive masters are friendly, but they try to run a few groups at the same time with one boat, so someone has to wait a long time in the water after resurfacing, or swim back to shore.
Excellent location in the heart of the village, so very close to many restaurants. Great pool with a view of the water, the only property I noticed with a pool in the center of town. Staff is very friendly. Convenient to have a dive shop on the premises. Restaurant with a great view. They accept credit cards without extra fees.

PortugalWhen we booked it they mentioned that the airport transfer was included in the price but turns out we had to pay for it in the end - could have been a misunderstanding. The Artista restaurant could do with a little upgrade - too gorgeous views for the food quality/options.
The whole experience was worth it because of the Quo Vadis diving centre. John Dutton was my instructor for my PADI Open Water course and, honestly, the highlight of my trip. I can’t imagine being able to have a better experience than the one I had. He was flexible and accommodating, and diving with him was a joy for us. We stayed in the premiere suite and the balcony was a fantastic asset for sunset views. The room was simple but spacious, warm shower, comfy bed. Not the most luxurious but definitely enough for a wonderful few days.

SingaporeThe water pressure in the shower and the water heater at the lowest temperature was too hot. We had to toggle it on and off during our showers. The resort was about 10mins from the main road and the roads are poorly lit at night so be careful about staying out too late.
Close to nature and it was a comfortable stay. The housekeeping staff gave us new towels every day which was great. There was even a place outside our room to dry our wet swimsuits.
