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.).

I was traveling solo mid October, just before the high season and found this hotel super cheap for what you get. You’re literally one minute away from the snorkeling point where you can see sardines and turtles. Location is great, everything you need is following the path to the right from the hotel, you will pass restaurants, bars and everything in between. The staff are amazing, as a solo traveler is nice to know that your first friends are the staff. They are lovely people and super helpful. The view is great and the room is comfy and well equipped. The breakfast is simple but made with love, I enjoyed as much as the view almost every morning.

SingaporeStairs to the penthouse are steep but doable and the view and breeze is worth it Make sure you bring cash to Moalboal - payment for activities is only in cash or G-cash, generally there is a premium for card transactions.
We upgraded our room to the penthouse on arrival - I highly recommend this. The room is huge and has fantastic views with a private balcony as one of the tallest buildings in Moalboal! Great value for money. We were allowed to check in earlier as the room was available. Staff were friendly and helpful ahead of arrival with clear and rapid communication. The team supplied a list of facilities and & rates of activities offered by the hotel and helped booking ahead of time, which made planning our short trip easier. There are also snorkels and lifevests available for use from the hotel for free, and a good-conditioned scooter available for rent. Location is great - accessible to the main street with a 10 min beachfront walk but sheltered from the hustle and bustle.

GermanyA bit noisy when people gather in the street for their tours early morning.
Spacious and fresh room in a great location, it was my best room on my whole trip so far. The breakfast on the roof top terrace with a beautiful view is also very good. Snorkeling gear was provided for free, just go to the beach and you will see the turtles. Plenty of restaurants in walking distance. Scooter rental was also cheap and easy. Highly recommended!

United StatesThe mattress was hard, and my back hurt each morning when I woke up. However, that did quickly fade as the day progressed.
Excellent location. Offered to upgrade to the "penthouse" for a nominal fee which I accepted. This room was two levels on the top floor with a private balcony overlooking the water. The optional breakfast was amazing and a great value. The staff, Lodie, Joy, and Kris, helped make the stay that much better by attending to any needs I had and with information. I would recommend anyone stay here and would do so myself on a future visit.

The owners very friendly and help you with booking for the whale sharks and canyoneering. Also you can rent snorkel and fins for free. The view from the rooftop is amazing. Everything was perfect.

SingaporeQuiet room with amazing views, just off the street of restaurants, as well as a fantastic restaurant with pizza right downstairs. Walk across the street and then walk right into the water to snorkel and find turtles and sardines. Very friendly and helpful staff who helped us arrange for transport to and from Cebu city.

FranceWe had a lovely stay at Strandhaus. The location is perfect since it's close to the beach and restaurants etc but without being in a busy and noisy spot. The rooms are decent and kept tidy by the staff who were super friendly and helpful. Special shoutout to Joy who was very kind and helped us feel at home there. I would come back if I ever visit Moalboal again.

United KingdomThe windows weren’t very soundproof so we could hear the men from across the road quite loudly singing, playing music but this didn’t really bother us it was actually quite nice to hear them singing and having a good time😊
The staff were so unbelievably friendly, we were always greeted with a smile, nothing was ever too much for them, they were really lovely people 😊 The room was a good size, very comfortable and in a prime location for restaurants, bars, the beach and was easy enough to venture out from 😊

VietnamI had a great, week long stay here! The staff are all so friendly, and Majona, the owner, was very helpful and sweet and helped me set up transport from the city too. The location is perfect- close to the beach and various restaurants and dive shops, but far enough away that it's quiet at night and not affected by the noise of the nightlife. The room was spacious with a lot of natural light and a nice strong AC for the hot days. I hope to stay here again soon!

AustraliaNothing! Wish we could have stayed longer.
We loved our stay!! Everyone is warm and happy especially Majona the owner. The place has incredible views including a rooftop terrace. You can rent scooters direct from them and they give you snorkelling gear for free. We walked straight down into the water 1-2 times a day to swim with the turtles and sardines. The place was clean and super comfortable and everything is walking distance straight along the beach. Would highly recommend!
