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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

NetherlandsThere was a weird smell around the kitchen all the time, and the staff wasn't the most helpful. Very functional, but for the price not the worst.
I loved the outside area by the pool, and the restaurant was quite good as well. The rooms were clean and decent, but nothing fancy.

NetherlandsSo minor things that are not only applicable to this hotel but they are worth to know: - The Airco unit in the room was a little noisy. - Internet/wifi was pretty terrible. But I think this is a common problem in Malapascua so if you want to work from there, think it twice! Even 4G wasn't that great. - Having to pay a very low fee to refill water was not ideal. I guess they do it to make sure water is not wasted as it is very scarce in the island... but for the price of the hotel, I would expect they include this.
The pool, location, the breakfast were amazing, and the room was big enough and comfortable. I did not use their diving services.

United StatesThe wifi was poor in the rooms but worked fine in the restaurant
What a beautiful stay!! The hotel space was humble but very comfortable. The staff made the stay truly special. If you are coming to dive, I could not recommend this place enough. Santiago, Alejandro, Dex, and all the kind employees on the boat made the dive trips so fun!! It felt like we were instantly part of the Slams family. The beds were comfortable and housekeeping came through to clean the room each day, which was nice given all the sand we tracked in. The hotel is very near to the pier so you can easily walk once arriving on the island. Many phenomenal restaurants are nearby (Angelina’s and Amihan were our favorites) and beautiful beaches as well! Cannot recommend enough :)

United Kingdom-
It was perfect for what my husband wanted, he was really happy to dive with the hotel and they provided such a professional and inclusive approach too as he explained there were a whole array of different diving abililities, they were adaptive and knowledgeable. I got to relax by the pool with my Kindle, which i was happy about. The hotel was helpful with information of where to go to gain thkngs (such as cash), and the food was so yummy as well as reasonably priced. (We recommend the bancoffee shake to drink too, delicious!) The beds could have been a little more comfortable for me. However, I always believe this is such an individual person's preference, not a hotels fault - I don't particularly like a hard matress, yet my husband did not mind. The rooms are very basic, but we enjoyed our stay here and would return.

Netherlands> WiFi. No WiFi in the rooms, weak internet in restaurant. > Level of English speaking staff @ restaurant. > Really hard mattresses. Ouch.
> Hygiene. For sure. Loved the cleanliness of the room. Although the poolwater could have been cleaned more often. > Ability for A/C in the room. Really necessary and didn’t blast the bed / face while sleeping (but very loud so bring earplugs). > Good in house food (if you order the local dishes, don’t order European;)), nice portions. Comfortable that you do not have to good look around and get a decent amount of fresh food during the day! > Hot water in shower - so happy. > Diving. Great service, good gear, nice guide/boat! Would definitely recommend.
