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.).

QatarNot the best of beaches as full of seaweed and quite rocky. Although all inclusive, very limited food options ( breakfast, lunch and dinner). Happy hours could be longer.

South AfricaDidn’t love that there was no hot water in the rooms. Made showering quite a mission. Also didn’t like how expensive the drinks on the island were, it is double that of what you can get in town.
The view from our room and the diving were incredible. Complete paradise on the island. The staff were also exceptional.

CanadaPaddle boards and kayaks should be free of charge, not an extra cost. Wifi should be available throughout the resort and nit just at the restaurant and reception.
The resort was an a beautiful island and the snorkeling from the beach was good. Meals were provided and were philipino, which was great. Recommend adding more snacks as I am a diver it would be nice to have a small snack between dives.

United KingdomWe stayed for 3 nights in January 2024. From the transfer from the airport via taxi and speedboat pulling up to this gorgeous island, through to great dive instructors (Jazz and Gabriel) and dive spots, this place was fantastic. Definitely recommend for those looking for quiet remote island life with such easy access to good varied dives, great quality full board food and spotting wildlife as well- we saw monkeys and a hornbill! The dives themselves included WW2 shipwrecks and multiple reefs and night diving which was a first for us! Esther in the restaurant, Tom at the dive shop, Asma on reception and all the other staff were so friendly and made our stay so memorable thank you! We are so glad we opted for this over coron town for the majority of our time in coron (we did 1 night in town at the end which was much more bustly, still fun but more lively!). We were able to take the day tour to coron island from Sangat resort as well (and they let us take our luggage and dropped us to our next stop in coron town on their way home too which was a touch). We would love to return so hope to be back again some day! Thank you Sangat

This hotel is a magic place. Hidden from the world - not easy to get there ;) We were enchanted from the first moment. Beautyful beach with the coral reef everywhere around. Many diving spots in the area and great dive center team! Good restaurant. I would really like to come back

NetherlandsRemote island, felt very private. Beautiful beach with coral reef right in front of the property. Great staff. Place is better than photos show. Place of heaven. You can find nothing but beautiful scenario. The food was exceptional, three times a day plus snack in the afternoon. We also enjoyed the wreck scuba diving. We loved monkeys being around.

United StatesThe dining room ran out of main course and side item options several times, leaving guests to fill up on salad and rice. Needs better organization and servers to portion out meals until everyone has been served. No excuse for running out of main course when there is only one option.
The snorkeling was excellent. Beautiful coral gardens just off the beach from your nipa hut. Pass Island tour was also very nice and included snorkeling a gunboat wreck from World War II.

United StatesThe internet access was terrible. Would have liked a curated seminar on the marine life or coral reef that we were exploring. The dive-shop personnel are excellent with the technical aspects of diving but less informed on marine life. Even a few youtube videos specific to this island providing knowledge about the reefs, the area, the typical life we would explore. Provide a plastic fish chart.
The service staff was fantastic, providing custom meals as needed. The facilities are always clean. The activities are easy to access and schedule. The remote, quiet atmosphere exceeded our expectations.

United Arab EmiratesI really need to scratch my head to find something to improve... The huts are a bit old so do not expect a fancy place. The rental material (Kayaks and SUP) needs upgrade. The kitchen staff do not understand English so we got our orders lost or mixed up a few times.
We booked that place for diving and I was very satisfied with its location right next to the wrecks. The resort took charge of us at the ferry and drove us to a small port, then a boat ride to the island. Same when we left. There is a very nice house reef for snorkeling or diving from the hotel. There are hammocks everywhere if you want to just read or chill and there is a pool table. There is WIFI connection and it works (only in the common area) We took kayaks and SUP to check out the nearby hot spring. the access was a bit difficult, but its a nice activity with the kids. The staff is nice and friendly. Thanks to Esther who took the time every day to check on how was our stay and take care of our many special food requests :-)

United KingdomDiving: what is not to love about the close proximity to the wrecks. The onsite dive and support team, managed by Tom, were excellent. We also enjoyed shore diving the house reef, particularly for night dives. The location: beautiful natural surroundings and cheeky monkeys. The hotel property: all the buildings were simple, elegant and designed to compliment the natural environment. We particularly loved the hammocks underneath our bungalow which were perfect for a post diving reading/napping session. Food and drink: authentic Filipino food. We thought the meals were delicious and varied with most including a meat dish, a fish/seafood dish and a vegetable dish. Depending on the number of guests, meals were either served to your table or presented as a buffet. We also loved the cocktails... The staff also took note that hungry divers appreciate a snack between the 1st and 2nd dives which was the only thing we thought was missing. Hospitality: relaxed island vibes. All the staff were kind and welcoming. We also enjoyed chit-chatting with fellow guests over drinks. We recommend and would love to return.

AustriaBreakfast ends early (at 09:00 am). Daily tours are very expensive. There is no too much variety for breakfast. There is little fish in number and variety in the corals in front of the resort. Most of the day time, it is liw-tide. And, the beach part of the sea (event some parts of coral reefs) is almost fully covered by sea weeds. Hence, the beach is not good to swim. There was no black tea served. Internet is very poor.
The coral reefs are just in front of the Resort. The staff, particularly the manager of the restaurant, were very friendly.

United StatesSangat Island is a testament to the sustainability of life. Not only in terms of achieving 80% of self-generated water and power required for the island's needs. But to be at the best front row seat of mother nature's greatest show on earth. The serenity of the place, the familial feel of sincere staffers and the simplicity of farm to table dining. Diving and snorkeling the beautiful under water landscapes together with the most beautiful creatures of the sea is awe inspiring.
