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.).

PhilippinesSwimming time in the pool and the beach is quite limited. It would be much appreciated if swimming time would be extended. Can do improvement and development in the beach. The bottom is muddy and slimy. There is broken glass in the shore.
Nice modern accommodation with complimentary of water and land activities to do together with the family.

PhilippinesThe food was not that great, as well as the slow service. Having a buffet service would have helped the waiting time for the food. The condition of the Cala trail could be as the wooden path is already run down. This is very unique to the resort so I hope management addresses this concern.
The 2 bedroom casita was spacious for a family of 4, with 2 teenagers and a dog. We love the many activities one can do in the resort - swim at the beach and pools, walk the trail, see the many animals in the area.

We found paradise after driving 130kms. The place was serene and lovely. Perfect getaway to de-stress and just connect with nature and spend time with your love ones. We loved the balsa ride and snorkeling. The kayaking was fun too. The staff are friendly.

PhilippinesIt's just unfortunate that it rained and we did not get to try the balsa and other water sports. Now there's a reason to come back.
The breakfast was good, with just enough choices. My son who is a bit picky got what he wanted- chicken and ice cream. I really appreciate the service of the staff because they are quick to respond and pleasant. The room is clean and tidy. I also like the trail.

PhilippinesWifi was very slow unless you stay at the dining area. A bit overpriced. Maybe if wifi and food was better would have been better value for money. Discrimination vs big dogs. small dogs allowed in resort but big breeds aren't. FYI, dog behavior is not based on size but dog training and upbringing. Even big dogs can be gentle sweethearts
Like the room and facilities. Staff service was A+. Location by the beach was great. Atmosphere of resort is very chill and relaxing. Food was okay

Philippines1. Suggest for Improvement - my 7yo kid is saddened he's not able to watched netflix or anything at the tv due to "very poor signal". There's too much lag so he really can't watch any show 2. MINOR : I didn't like the feel of the blanket (it feels somewhat hard on my skin) 3. MINOR : I noticed dust at lamps in our room
WILL DEFINITELY COME BACK 1. The staff - they're exceptional and super accommodating, and they're very welcoming 2. We enjoyed the free kayak and paddle board with the kids and our 2 puppies 3. We loved the welcome drinks, free merienda + free 1 round of drinks/juice served by staff at the beach, and also the free puto, with "Welcome Home" message chocolate written in a plate 4. We're happy to be in a place where puppies/pets are welcome 5 We highly appreciate the "Happy Birthday" + 2-layered towel cake that's set-up in our room for my hubby's birthday ❤️

PhilippinesMaybe asking if a guest wants a glass of water first before serving. And coffee condiments served in refillable jars or containers would be good than putting sugar and creamer on little condiment bowls/ saucers. I could just imagine the food/ water waste if guests opt to not drink the water served and the free condiments. I politely brought the condiments back because I don’t take them with my brewed coffee.
The staff at the restaurant were all exceptional including the housekeeping people and the one who welcomed us when we arrived.

PhilippinesEverything would’ve been perfect if not for the spotty wifi in our room (it was just a SmartBro) so we couldn’t really watch the Netflix/Prime Video as well as catch up with some work. We had to go out near the reception area to use the Starlink for stable wifi. To be fair, the staff called and apologized for the wifi ahead.
The customer service was outstanding!
