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.).

AustraliaVery spacious room with sofa, kitchenette, table and chairs, comfy bed, quiet aircon, digital tv, and a large bar fridge. Very close to the beach to swim with massive schools of sardines and large turtles (I saw one, and hubby saw two on a separate swim, further out & away from the main touristy area). Staff were pleasant & helpful. Staff did our washing 200ps, which was very convenient for us. Our accommodation was, walking distance, close to everything! So many great eateries nearby. Easy, prompt communication with the helpful owner. The staff organised transport (trike) to the bus stop, in town, for our return to Cebu City.

IndonesiaVery nice place perfectly located at walking distance from restaurants and bars of the main street. The snorkeling spot is just downstairs. There is no balcony but a rooftop terrace with a nice view on sunset. The room is spacious and clean. The most notable experience is the kindness and dedication of the staff. Marijoy, thanks for everything, you are amazing

PhilippinesThe staff were attentive and super helpful. They helped bring our luggage to our room, after our excursions the room was already cooled down and that was nice. They offered airport pickup and transfer to the city, just ask the staff if you need that service, we availed and it was good. They can book your activities too. The room was like an Airbnb unit, you can use the microwave and water heater. The view from the hotel was so great too. No hassle and we enjoyed our stay!

GermanyThe balcony at the top is the real highlight. Starting the day up there with an American breakfast and ending it the same way just hits different. The rooms had everything we needed and if something’s missing, the staff is super friendly and ready to help right away. They really take care of you, especially Joy. Super warm and helpful. You can even borrow snorkeling gear for free, and they’ve got free drinking water available too. The location couldn’t be better. Not even a minute to the beach and super close to all the dive shops. It’s also quiet enough to get good sleep no loud parties nearby but still close enough if you feel like going out. So yeah, for us, everything was on point: location, comfort, cleanliness, and service.

CuraçaoNothing, when I come back to Moalboal I will book here again, only for the staff :)
The staff is amazing! They are super friendly and kind to help you with everything; trips, bike, data for the phone, restaurants etc etc etc They want to make sure you have an amazing time in Moalboal. I wanted to go diving and they advised Amigo diving shop which was a good match. Also I wanted to see the whale sharks in Oslob and they made sure I got a good deal with the transportation and all, very helpful and it was an amazing experience. The breakfast is a 'must-do', its a rich and full table with eggs, bacon, fruit, coffee all all all!! Very good and really affordable. I had a very early checkout and (although the staff does not life in the hotel) they came to make sure I had a breakfast, and everything with me. Very helpful!

NetherlandsWe had a room on the ground floor and the toilet was a bit wonky with flushing (sometimes it wouldn't work). But there's a bucket in the shower (with good water pressure), so this wasn't a big issue 'cause we could use that instead. Most of the time it would flush. That said, the bathroom was also very clean, so for us this was a minor thing.
We were in Moalboal for a few days and had a great stay at the Strandhaus. It was clean, comfy and a fantastic location: just a half a minute away from the beach and very close to where you can see the sardine run. During our stay the beach was nice and quiet, with an easy access into the water. The sardine run is absolutely impressive and we also loved the multiple turtles, such gentle creatures! The ladies at the reception are friendly and helpful. From the roof terrace you have a great view over the sea and surroundings. Also many eateries within walking distance. Recommended!

This hotel is centrally located to everything you need in Moalboal. Thier breakfast is superb for a price of $5, I wish I could eat 3 breakfast a day LOL. The staff (Kris, Lodie & Joy) are really a gem for this Hotel. The owner herself is another gem, wherein she helps and accommodate us on our request.
