Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Philippinesalthough it was dully informed that there was more than 200 steps going to the reception area from the parking, we are not infromed that we would have to climb back to our room half way up. it would have been really helpful if the recemption were upstairs in parking lot. and also, there were no fridge in the rooms that could have been more easier for the guest to have accesible cold water after the long climb to their room from the beach.
i like the fact that i was able to scuba dive for the first time and its was just a few dips away from the shore.

United StatesThe only complaint was the 250 steps you needed to take to go down to the resort. We did have staff to help carry our luggage though. The price of the food, though delicious, was expensive.
We were very satisfied with the friendly services. The meals, if you are into Filipino foods were delicious. The rooms were very comfortable and quiet. The price for the rooms were of good value. We have stayed at other dive resorts nearby. Their services and rooms were equally exceptional but were 2 to 3 times more expensive.

PhilippinesThe restaurant was out of stock on a lot of their items. Breakfasts were fine. Some of the dinner dishes were a bit underwhelming. Dessert was limited to ice cream or turon.
The rooms, pool, and dining area overlooking the ocean was beautiful. The snorkeling right in front of the resort was amazing.

PhilippinesWe actually liked the place and didn't mind the stairs, the only downside was that the food options were quite minimal and a some of the items were unavailable. If the food was good and perfect it would've been excellent.
Staff were very helpful throughout our stay. The rooms were decent too, we had a pool and sea view. And loved that they are pet friendly aswell. The coral reefs were also amazing just in front of the resort!

PhilippinesThe cost of food is relatively high; however, I anticipated this given the location's distance from the city.
I like the serene atmosphere and tranquility of this place, as well as exploring its underwater beauty while snorkeling along the beachfront.

United KingdomThe 200 steps going down to the resort and going up to the parking, stairs are not steep, so not as bad as expected. There is an option for a boat ride to the resort for an additional fee. Shower heads in the rooms need replacing.
Great location. Superb sea view. Excellent food. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Good facilities. Great for snorkelling. Resort is clean and has good ambience. Rooms are very nice and well-equipped with basic needs for a holiday.

United KingdomThe policy to allow dogs should be reviewed - they cause noise and are dirty. We found a pile of dog excrement right outside our room on our first morning there - we had to ask twice for this to be cleaned up and in the end I asked the man cleaning the pool to help us. He kindly cleaned it up for us. This slightly spoiled our first morning on our balcony. I also saw other dogs on our last night making a mess whilst we ate our dinner - might spoil your appetite ! The rooms do not have sound proofing as you can hear and be easily disturbed by noisy guests above. This did keep us awake on our first night as the guests above us had a dog and were obviously playing with it at 2:00 a.m. If this might bother you then ask for a top floor room. Beware of the steps up and down to the resort - they tell you there are 200 steps but I think it is more than that. If you are unfit, elderly or have mobility issues then this might not be the best place for you. There is free parking but it is limited to first come, first serve. There are no nearby restaurants or stores - nearest main city is Batangas - an hour away. However, there are tiny sari sari stores for snacks and drinks - but, remember the steps so better to stock up beforehand. The island hopping tours and other activities are overpriced compared to other destinations I have visited in The Philippines. Not all the menu options were available - for two days running we wanted pizza and spaghetti with meat balls but this was not available - I found this strange as it was the holiday season so surely the full menu should have been catered for; or at least let the waiters know as it is unfair on them to have to keep disappointing guests that they can not have their choice. We stayed over New Year and there was a compulsory additional charge of 1500 pesos each for the New Year's Eve buffet - I did not mind this but the information in Booking.com states 900 pesos each so it is misleading and should be updated.
The staff are all lovely and helpful. With the exception of dog issues (see below) - this is a clean resort with excellent housekeeping standards. The food is of a good quality and about the right price for this accommodation standard. The view was fabulous from our room and balcony but some rooms do not have a view so make sure you request this at the time of booking if it is important to you. We had a large room and were very happy with all the room facilities. The wifi is fast & reliable throughout the resort. You can safely snorkel directly from the beach where you will see lots of sea life - snorkeling equipment is free to hire which is excellent. There are also scuba diving lessons available making this resort perfect for those wanting to enjoy the beautiful clean waters of Batangus. Overall we enjoyed our time here

SpainBreakfast: no assortment for breakfast, no fruit. Menu a la carte: several dishes not available. Ensuite bathroom: water pressure was not enough for the big shower head. Beach is not good for neither walking nor swimming. The swimming pool is just a big bathtub and not really clean. You have always to go up and downstairs. In the information provided before booking, it is said that you will have to walk over 200 steps but they don't warn that you will have to walk those steps always up and downstairs, which is very unsuitable for a resort. Moreover, in the information provided before booking, they "offer" a boat to go to the hotel, but they don't tell that you will have to pay for it.
Comfortable beds.
