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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

FranceAfter staying here for 6 nights, I would 100% recommend this place! The beds are the comfiest I’ve ever seen in a dorm, and quite larger than the regular size. You also get a lot of room since there are only 4 people in each dorm, while they could easily fit twice as many. You also get a full size closet to fit your luggage and clothes. Each dorm has its own bathroom (with separate toilet and shower) so you very seldom have to wait. They have a beautiful pool outside. The staff is very nice and helpful and if you’re planning to dive, their dive guides are really good (note, you’ll get your OWN dive guide and you can ask for a specific site or type of dive). All that at an amazingly affordable price!

IndiaReally nice dorms with only 4 beds, no bunkbeds. Working air conditioning 24/7, hot shower. I did book one night here and then ended up booking dive & stay package the following 5nights. All guests get their own personal dive master when diving.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The property was in a really peaceful location. The rooms are huge and spotlessly clean the bathroom is gorgeous. The food is fantastic and very reasonable and the staff couldn’t do enough for us. We were lucky enough to land on a night where they had very chilled and brilliant acoustic singing, which was great. Was lovely chatting to Sven the diving instructor he gave us lots of great tips and was really helpful. As an added bonus they have a really tasty draft lager… we took full advantage. We will most definitely return here, hopefully very soon! Thank you so much to all the staff for a great stay 👏🏻🙌♥️

GermanyMy only advice? Plan extra time. Everyone I met ended up staying longer than they originally planned and it’s easy to see why.
A Diver’s Paradise If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would. Scuba Tribe Diving Resort is not just a dive center, it’s a place to arrive, to feel at home and to become part of something truly special. I spent two weeks here and it was without a doubt the best choice. The dive training is absolutely exceptional. Every student gets their own personal dive guide, a level of attention and care that goes far beyond the usual. Especially during the fun dives, you can express your wishes each day and the team makes it happen. Whether you want to explore a new site, focus on skills or just relax underwater… it’s all about you. The team speaks both German and/or English and all courses are offered in either language with ease. I originally thought there were only three dive sites nearby… turns out there are around 15. Which ones you visit depends on your experience level and personal preferences. The underwater world here is simply breathtaking. Whether you stay for a few days, weeks or even months, you’ll quickly become part of the dive family (if you want to… no pressure). The entire staff is constantly striving to make your stay as comfortable and fulfilling as possible. Got a special request? Just ask. I wanted to visit a water temple and nearby rice fields on my dive day off and a driver was arranged without hesitation. Laundry for my onward journey was taken care of and returned freshly cleaned. The bungalow I booked was clean, comfortable and regularly serviced, fresh linens every couple of days, air-conditioned room and all with a touch of eco-consciousness. The resort truly gives back to the local community: Live music comes from local band and all furniture is locally crafted and sourced. If you’re looking for professional diving, warmhearted people and a place that feels like home, Scuba Tribe is the place to be. I’ll be back, no doubt about it.

BelgiumIt's a great diving resort. There is a swimmingpool build to train diving (or just a lazy dip). It's blessed with a great wreck spot just behind the place. It was my first diving experience and my partner was more advanced, yet the team was able to adapt to each our level and both of us had an amazing dive. It's also very handy to have a restaurant inside the resort.

DenmarkAmazing staff! I loved my stay at scuba tribe. Everyone working here are very friendly and helpfull. It was easy to arrange diving for the next day or even on the day with the team of divers working here, Gede and Esa showed me cool spots and we had a lot of fun. I rented a scooter through reception very easy. Everything here comes at very affordable prices. Dorm rooms are large and have proper beds. Everyday staff cleans the rooms and makes the beds, which is much apreciated.

GermanyI mean the dorms are very simple and the water pressure was nonexistent. But for that price it’s more than ok. Not much of a vibe in the common area outdoors. Many solo travelers but somehow not very social (which of course doesn’t depend on the hostel itself). Breakfast and food in general are slightly more expensive than the warungs around
Amazing value for money. Literally paid around 5 euro for a bed in a dorm. Accommodation for divers of the diving school. Awesome access to the beach and to the liberty shipwreck. Cleanliness is spotless. Staff is kind and helpful. The scuba diving staff is adorable, professional and fun!
