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.).

The resort hotel is a bit far from the main town, access to the hotel is very challenging.

AustraliaWe’d like to see more information of what is available around outside of the resort, trips to town and other tourist activities.
The location of this resort is perfect! Wish we’d stayed longer. The boating (snorkelling and diving) activities organised with the onsite dive shop were amazing and set up for the resort guests only so not overcrowded.

United StatesLocation is about 15 min ride from Pangsama beach, where all the restaurants and shops are. If you prefer quiet this is a good place but if you like to go where it is more lively you’ll have to get a taxi every time. Hotel feels outdated. Prices for services offered within the hotel are a lot higher than outside.
The hotel has a very peaceful and relaxing vibe. It has access to the sea, for snorkeling and great views. Very calm. Comfortable rooms. Good AC. All services are offered in the hotel for additional price (restaurants, tours, massage, transportation)

United Kingdom-Terrible wifi. Next to nothing. Wifi should get improved. -I had a massage in the spa which was ok but not very relaxing. I was with my husband and the two staff doing our massage was whispering and having a conversation which was not relaxing at all. Also, the lady who did my massage was texting at the same time (not al throughout) but on and off whilst she was doing my treatment.
We stayed in Turtle Bay with family (8 of us in 3 separate rooms) when we visited South of Cebu for 3 nights. The location is absolutely fantastic for snorkelling with the sea just further down the hotel. We really enjoyed seeing plenty of fishes and corals and if you go further you’ll be able to see sea turtles. Pool was lovely as well, not massive but decent size with plenty of sun loungers. Drinks in the bar was great and we enjoyed the cocktails and most especially the mango shakes which we ordered daily. There were plenty of food options in the menu but only one restaurant. Food was okay and you will need a car/ transport to go to outside restaurants. Rooms were nice and clean. The staff were lovely too. Overall, it was a great place to stay but could have been better if the wifi is available.

SingaporeBe careful with the pool, the chlorine changes the colour of your bathing suit due to the chlorine.
The hotel is out of the town, but the hotel can call you a tuktuk anytime you like. Don’t let this stop you, as the hotel and the rooms are lovely. Spacious, a gorgeous pool and a bar with lovely staff. Breakfast was good and they offer dinner as well. The hotel has its own bay where you can dive and snorkel.

IrelandThe hotel organised transport which was quite a bit more expensive than another company we used, but overall the driver was there on time and we got there safely.
This was a lovely resort! The rooms were adequate. The pool was very nice, the included breakfast was very tasty. The hotel offered a shuttle service down to the town as it’s too far of a walk- 100 pesos pp. we organised independent tours but they hotel offered their assistance. We also were able to do laundry which was convenient.

AustraliaOnly downside is location.its only 5 minutes to all the restaurants but you get charged a lot money compared to other places in Cebu. For 4 people we were charged 400 piso each way to go out to dinner.
The place is picturesque we went for an introductory to dive right outside our hotel and found turtles. You can snorkel anytime from the hotel and find loads of fish. The staff are some of the friendliest I have ever met.

CanadaReally far from town so if you wanted to go in to the sardine run or restaurant you needed to rent a tricycle, which sometimes felt very unsafe on the bumpy road and cost 100 pesos a person each way so did add up over a week as we went into town almost every day.
Staff were amazing and pool was nice and deep. The view was lovely from our room and great supply of books to read and relax.

CroatiaBad soundproofing (could hear people from the outside, other rooms, noisy roosters during the whole night). Lack of vibe. They offered us a pick-up from Cebu airport for 5k PHP, while we arranged a taxi for 2.8 k PHP. Expensive scooter rental compared to others in the area.
Very large and comfortable room, big bed. Loved the breakfast. Nice seafront location good for diving and snorkeling.
