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.).

United KingdomThe "1/2 day snorkelling trip" organised through the hotel with a local boat operator, was around an hour and a half long at most and the spots visited weren't nearly as good as the island hopping tourl which was on one of the hotles own boats.
The staff were friendly, helpful and very attentive. The rooms were large, clean, comfortable and had great views. The food and drink were great and the pool was lovely after a day in the sun and sea. The location was great, right on the beach and you could swim 2m or so from the steps up to the lobby area. I saw a turtle while snorkeling around 50m from the hotel! The tv in the room had loads of tv and films including some very up to date titles (I put this last as it isn't as important as some other details but it was nice to chill in the room on occasion with a good film!). Can't over hype Lalaguna Villas enough! If you are a diver or an aspiring diver this place is epic. I would love to go back and do a full diving course with them but just as a freediver doing my own thing or snorkelling with the family it was amazing!

AustraliaThe resort itself is magnificent. Wonderful location and just a walking distance from Sabang PG. All the staff are friendly, helpful and caring to my family. They help us to organise all the transportation on the way to PG and back to Batangas. The foods they serving in the restaurant is top class. It’s a very safe place for my children. Very family friendly.

The team was impressive, cheerful, and friendly. Excellent caring service. Excellent food and drinks to enjoy between dives. Excellent dive shop, professional dive masters/instructors that took good care of us. Good and well-maintained dive equipment. The dive boat crew was good and caring too. Though we couldn't go to Verde Island due to the weather, they arranged a one-on-one dive at the Canyons, which was the most remarkable dive there for us. Obviously, sitting around good dive sites also contributed to our enjoyable experience in this resort. Room was well-equipped, clean, and spacious. Life was easy during our stay.

CambodiaFrom the first contact the staff were wonderful, organising transport from Manila. Upon arrival to LLV first impression was awesome. I had booked PADI dive courses the reason for my trip. Very well organised and professional a special mention to my wonderful instructor Jha, thank you for your patience and skills taught and also thanks for all involved in the dive shop all there to make your diving experience the best and another thanks to the great boat skippers getting us out to dive site and back again. Great dive shop both at LLV aswell as their shop in Sabang. Very clean well organised resort, nothing was to much trouble for the staff. Great location with less than 10min walk to Sabang, dive boat at the doorstep, and the awesome staff both local and expats, very welcoming. Overall had great time both in resort and the awesome diving. As this was my first diving experience it was a great introduction. I would definitely stay here again and recommend this resort if just relaxing or seeking a dive experience. Once again thankyou all for your hospitality. 5✨️

This is an excellent hotel on a number of levels. It's on the beach of course - so handy for diving etc. The staff is first class. The food is fab. The facilities- now with a new gym/fitness suite - are all excellent. There's a pool table in the bar/cafe - free of charge. The swimming pool is also lovely - both for swimmers and learner divers. The service privided by the staff s like what you get at Singapore Raffles. There's free hot and cold water in the rooms. The rooms themselves are excellent. Fab shower. Comfy bed etc. In summary, if you're staying in Sabang then LLV is as good as it gets I've stayed here a good few times and it gets better and better every year.

AustraliaThe good at the resort was first class. The whole place exceeded my expectations. I am planning a return trip early next year with my family. My major reason was scuba diving which was good. The dive shop is probably the best shop with staff and assistance in diving I’ve ever used. Totally recommend

AustraliaIt’s a bit of a walk to main area, about 750m, but that means it’s nice and quiet. Hotel is set around pool and climbs up the hill creating a bit of an amphitheater. Bar is next to pool and noise can drift up from there if people are rowdy ( although this only happened around dinner time, it was quiet during the night) There is no beach at Sabang, diving is the main focus, quite a small town but nice people. we didn’t dive but hired scooters and plenty to see around the area such as beautiful white beach
well appointed, very comfortable beds, beautiful new renovation, a top class accommodation. A water dispenser provided in every room giving you fresh, pure cold water for drinking etc and hot water for tea and coffee. lovely pool to lounge around. Exceptionally food, we ate in every night, really top class food and chefs cooking. wonderful staff, thanks esp, Mitch, Mel and Ben
