How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewI came to see what Moalboal had to offer. Once I discovered the comfort and charm of the Bungalows though, I just wanted to spend my time lounging around the property and taking the short walk down to the sea. The staff was fantastic and warm. Lisa even arranged for my transportation from and back to Cebu City. I did get out to discover what was in the surrounding area, but I was always happy to get back to Sambag Hideaway!

Verified reviewThis an ideal couples stay! Not so much for solo unless you want seclusion. Need trike/bike ride to town and shopping.

Verified reviewI recently had the pleasure of staying at this place. From the very first moment, I felt very welcome by the staff. The resort has only a few rooms, which creates a private atmosphere. The room was clean and the grounds are well-maintained, with plenty of garden, palms and trees, and vibrant flowers. The owner often visits and is available for a chat. What really sets this resort apart, however, is the service combined with the location. Every member of staff was friendly, professional, and helpful. The location is perfect for snorkeling and sea turtle watching. You only have to descend a few steps and you're right in the water, snorkeling on the reef – on your own, without the crowds. What I also really appreciated, is the resort's collaboration with a local restaurant, which delivers delicious and reasonably priced food in reusable containers to avoid plastic waste. I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing and unforgettable vacation! However, I wouldn't recommend it for people looking for dining and nightlife within walking distance.

Verified reviewEverything was really good! The staff, especially Lisa, was very kind and helpful. She could answer every question and suggested a lot of nice places to visit, the best place to find fresh fruits and helped us also with our onward travel. The property was beautiful with a bar and a small beach. It’s not completely central but it’s easily accessible with a tricycle. We rented a scooter at the property so it was even easier! They made our stay really special and we enjoyed everything!

Verified reviewWe were having an exceptionally good time at the Sambag Hideaway with the nicest people you can imagine! When holidays far from home feels like visiting some friends you know you have chosen the right place to stay 🙂 The rooms are super clean and well maintained, the garden is as beautiful as it can be and the staff is more like really good friends. And best of all: it comes with an own house reef 🪸 and four turtles 🐢 living in it. So diving is guaranteed an nice experience! See the added picture Also really good is the breakfast - freshly made with love and just according to your own taste. 🍳 Special greetings to the manager Lisa and the owner who took so well care of us and provided everything we needed! Thank you so much 🙏
Nothing - everything was exceptional

Verified reviewStunning property right on the water with a lovely restaurant that serves drinks till 9pm then is quiet. Lisa was great, I was even able to stay on the property after check out and use the snorkel gear one more time. Ample recliners and beach chairs and snorkeling right at your feet.
Not walkable to restaurants but you can order from one and they deliver for free and the food was delicious
