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.).

We have booked a 2-day stay in Emoha Dive Resort. The room is very clean and well maintained. The area around the resort is very peaceful and there's a lot of attractions nearby. We have gone to do the whale watching and see the Tumalog Falls. They offer diving excursions, howeve, we were unable to do it due to the rainy weather and time constraints. The owners were very approachable and communicated well. They were able to cater our needs during our stay, especially our late checkout. Excellent service from the staff. They have good food with generous serving. They made sure that they put care and a heart to all the guests visiting in their place. Thank you very much.

United StatesFantastic stay. Room is spacious, clean, and beautiful. Bed and sheets are comfortable. Shower is good temperature and pressure. Price is also very reasonable. This place beats the 5-star hotels that we stayed in Mactan.

United StatesI have zero complaints about any aspect of our stay.
Hands down, a wonderful place. Lottie and Raf were attentive and accommodating. Our dive master, Ron was excellent. We went scuba diving every day, it was irresistible not to. We also loved snorkeling right on the property, relaxing in the pool, getting massages in the garden, it was all lovely. And the food at Emoha is excellent. A wide variety of sophisticated offerings on the menu, all prepared beautifully.

United StatesEmoha resort exceeded all of our expectations. It’s as beautiful as the pictures show, if not more so. The rooms are comfortable with an amazing view of the ocean. The food was delicious and the staff could not have been more wonderful. A huge thank you to all of them. A special thank you to Rafael for being so attentive and our dive master Ron, who was amazing. A member of our group celebrated their 50th birthday while we were there and they went out of their way to make it a special day. The owner, Lottie, even made an amazing cheesecake for the celebration. The diving out front is fantastic. No need to get in a car or boat for a 30 to 60 min ride (unless you want to go 25 min down the road for the whale shark experience), just hop on the house board and go 2 to 5 min up or down the coast, and you will find a new adventure. The amount of life on display is out of this world. We even had a whale shark cruise right by us as we were finishing our dive. If you want to snorkel, just walk out from the boat ramp and enjoy. I can not not recommend Emoha Dive Resort highly enough.

GermanyLeaving. If you have the chance to stay there, don't bother looking anywhere else!
Private service of top quality, we were directly assisted by the owner, we were treated with the best, honest and caring services. The diving experiences with them, both with the whale sharks in Oslob as with at their own house reef could not possibly be better.

We chose this resort because we wanted to be close to Oslob for whale shark watching, and it turned out to be the perfect place to stay. The location was convenient for us as it was near Liloan port, and the property itself was lovely, peaceful, and well-maintained. The staff were very attentive, and the owner, Lottie, was friendly and helpful -- she suggested places for us to visit and arranged our tours. Highly recommended!

AustraliaDespite it being a drive from the main airport in Cebu, it was absolutely worth it. Organising transport was a breeze and there is a closer airport if car rides aren’t your thing.
The whole experience was amazing. The hosts were friendly along with the staff and any trips were a breeze. The reefs around the area were incredible, being able to walk out from the resort onto a reef with incredible corals and fish is a luxury. The diving sites around the area offer amazing wildlife that caters to all experience levels from discovery dives to certified divers.

United KingdomAbsolutely fantastic hidden gem! My husband and I were on our honeymoon touring the Philippines and this resort was one of our favourites. The room was very clean, friendly staff and the owners (Lottie and Jean Michel) were extremely welcoming and very helpful. If we’re ever back near Santander we’ll be staying here again. Could recommend enough! 😊
