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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

NetherlandsSome staff is very nice but not very helpful in recommending tours or activities. They don’t offer any and can’t really help. Also some staff look really angry that I almost didn’t want to bother asking questions. That’s a shame. The shower is okay, ours was broken the first night but fixed the next day. Just be aware that it’s very noisy when talking in front of your door. Some other guests where getting up very early and having loud and extended conversations on their patio at 5am. Super frustrating when it sounds like they are next to your bed. Please be respectful to everyone at after hours.
Spacious room and good location just outside the busy streets. Reception is a bit down the road but nothing too far. It’s nice to have a bit of outside space that is covered as well.

PhilippinesThe Divers Lodge itself does not have its own check-in desk. You need to go to the sister hotel to ask for the room key and everything. Communicating with the front desk can also be a chore.
We enjoyed the food from the restaurant of their sister dive resort. Their resto provides a very good view of the sea.

IsraelWi-Fi was spotty at times
Tucked away & off the major roads, so more quiet but close enough to all the restaurants & bars when you want. The Lodge is operated by a resort down the road where you have steps that lead you right to the water. Room was basic but did the job. I especially loved that there was the option of a ceiling fan and not just AC.

United Arab Emiratesnothing. everything was amazing
very clean, great location, great value for money, spacious, helpful staff. it’s a real divers lodge since we have space outside with racks and hangers to dry diving gear. very close to the beach and huge parking spot. had access to pool but never used it since I was always on the beach. and for people complaining about centipedes , you are in a remote location you should expect insects. some centipedes come in at night . just tap them with tissue and they roll up and then pick them up and drop them in the garden outside

SingaporeIf you have something sweet in your room, ants will come to you like its a parade. This was our own fault. Sometimes the power goes down. This is normal here as well. Just let the workers know at the desk near the beach, or else they would not know there is a problem.
Location was fine and quit, its 5 till 10 minutes walk to the main street. We had a nice stay, its normal to hear a dog once in a while. Also we had a nice lady we could go to if we needed anything. Shower was fine Wifi was as expected not really great. But thats okay.

LithuaniaCould be nice if they would have TV, it's a bit of a walk in case you take daily trips as they depart from center. I would like to have better security, like night guard or so. In case you want to walk to main road at night, it's a bit dark with barking dogs on you, lol.
the zen vibe itself, the location where (thru the small alley) you can reach central part where people party in Chillie's. It's big territory you can observe from your terrace, there is a small shop where you can buy water, beer, snacks. The staff were helpful and fixed non working WiFi in 2 hours. Also you can use their diver's center pool and they have access to the beach, where you swim with turtles.

United StatesWater pressure not too great. Bed mattresses a little thin. Can hear music from bars. Bring ear plugs.
A good choice for budget travelers. Clean, close to busy Panagsma Road, tea kettle provided. Nice yard area with hammocks and palms. Quiet in day time. Feels rural. Sister property of Quo Vadis Dive Resort so guests can use their pool and charge drinks and meals to their restaurant. Tip: check in at Quo Vadis reception 200 meters down the road.

AustraliaThe room was spacious and clean, with a small refrigerator, kettle and AC. The house keeper was very lovely, and all of the staff were also very friendly and helpful. It is located just a short walk to the Quo Vadis dive centre. I highly recommend diving with them - the staff and dive staff are very professional and well trained. You actually have to check in/out at the Quo Vadis reception, which is about 120m walk down the road. There is a little store next door where you can hire a scooter and buy snacks. The owner there is also very lovely. The accommodation is located outside the main area with all the restaurants etc, so it is quiet, but still only a short walk away. We would definitely stay here again.

AustraliaLots of centipedes outside that were able to creep in through the door - I rolled up a towel and used it to block bottom of the door at night when I went to bed.
Accommodation was quiet being about a 5minute walk away from the mainstrip in moalboal. The room was big, the bathroom was clean, and the aircon worked a treat - although rather loud.

GermanyWi-Fi was really bad. Dozens of millipedes would crawl into the room at night since the door has a huge space underneath, which could be avoided if they protect it. A lot of dogs roam the area at night and they bark a lot, didn’t feel safe.
Nice staff, access to pool, inexpensive.
