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...).

IrelandThe resort beach is lovely however it is not great for swinning especailly at low tide as it is very rocky, the beach a little further up is much better. There were a lot of bugs and mosuitos, especially in the rooms (Understandable given the setting in the jungle) and the staff did their best with coils and repelliant. The bed in our room was not very comfortable with the matress placed on a concrete base. The access up and down to the rooms and beach/bar area is by very steep stairs which could be challenging for anyone with poor mobility.
I stayed at the Easy Dive Resort with my wife and her extended family for 3 nights. The property is located in a beautiful quiet setting in Sipalay and is well managed by Chris and his team. The rooms were clean and air cinditioned. We were all very well looked after by the resort staff and the service in the bar and restaurant was first class where we were all made feel exceptionaltly welcome especially by Herminea who was fantastic. The breakfast was wonderful and freshly prepared to order for us all each morning. The resort primarily caters for diving excursions, and we took a boat trip out to do some island hopping which was amazing and the warm clear waters with lots of exotic fish are a sight to behold. It was a memorable family trip and we thoroughly enjoyed it and I must say it was great value for money.

NorwayThe bed mattresses should, in my opinion, have been upgraded as they are not comfortable for a somewhat older man at 95kg. They did, however, give me an extra mattress that made me more comfortable. I experienced the best mattress in Philppines on another resort. Brand was 100% Dewfoam, 6" ,rubberinfused, printed, at 3500php for an individual bed. Highly recommended Philippine product. I would have appreciated a small desk and chiar in the room. There was no water in the room, however free water when ordering food in the restaurant. No fridge and water kettle in the room were to be expected as their strategy is to have guests consume refreshments and food in the restaurant. Also, there was no TV, but the wifi worked very well from the room, and even down on the beach so we could stream movies to our Tablet. I think the strategy of the resort serves the owners and the guests very well. Less insect problem in rooms, less staff requirement and hence good value for money.
Very good value for money. Not a new shiny 3-star accommodation, but a quiet and well maintained and managed place with a 4 star location. Comfortable beach beds where you can find shadow beneath the large parasols or the leaves of the immense tree canopies all day if you appreciate that. There is something magic about looking straight out to a clear blue sea horizon that covers all of your 170-degree angle of vision, while your skin is gently stroked by the sea breeze. At high tide, you can swim 100 meters to find a large coral reef with good visibility and teaming with life. And we had a private boat that took us to an even greater coral reef sanctuary where we saw a turtle while snorkling. 3 hour boat trip for two and we payed modest 1900php. It is a place primarily for diving, but it is excellent also if you have a companion that would just like to relax with a serene view from the beach while you are having some diving trips. The food and drinks were served from a nice restaurant, beach front, with a nice vibe. - Generally very enjoyable, somewhat pricy, and not the biggest menu we have seen, but that should be expected on a somewhat remote place like this. We complained that we experienced some dishes to be too salty for our taste. We had an accommodation furthest up the hill and counted 75 steps down to the restaurant. Some guests have complained about this. Steps are maybe 15% higher than standard steps. Some will find that inconvenient. We did, however, appreciate the exercise 3 or 4 times a day as we enjoy regular exercise and there is no gym in the resort. The stairs are shaded by a beautiful canopy. Probably, I am in a somewhat better shape than most my age. I am 70 y.o. The room was spacious with a nice terrace with sea view between the trees.

United StatesNothing I can think of.
The Resort is located at a beautiful beach and the water was nice and calm. Great for snorkeling to the reef. The meals in the restaurant were wonderful and inexpensive. The bed was more than comfortable. The duvet was nice and long and covered the extra long mattress. Great for someone my height! It was nice and quiet and the AC and internet worked great. After our ten-day stay, with going up and down the stairs many times per day, we felt like we were in shape now to go and visit Machu Picchu. We did not dive during our stay. The owner was very personable and friendly and was always around if we have any questions.

PhilippinesThe resort is best suited for divers and not families. There is not a pool ( which I knew before ) and they do not allow any outside food or beverages, so not the best idea for budget minded families. Otherwise, it’s very beautiful.

Australianothing.... we loved everything
The resort is awesome!! It is secluded in the jungle and you feel like you have arrived in a secluded paradise when you get there. We realised we were going to arrive late in the evening and contacted the resort. The owner, Christian, was awesome and organised some food for our arrival and was there to greet us when we finally arrived. The kitchen had prepared delicious sandwiches. They make their own bread and use quality ingredients in their food preparation. It makes such a difference. Every meal we had there was great!! We loved our bungalow, the bed was very comfortable. The place was very clean and welcoming. The staff was very friendly. They referred to us by our first names every single time. Not sure how they memorise all their guest's names... but they do. Hands down one of the best places we have stayed.

My plate is full and there are options where you can choose what type of breakfast suits you. The place itself is very peaceful and quiet.
