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.).

PhilippinesFriendly and nice staff. Good food and the pool were good. Rooms were nice. We did 6 dives as well, and we really enjoyed it except the last dive we did in Monad, just sitting on the edge looking out in the blue for 45 min and saw nothing. The chances are small to see the tiger shark, so I would rather dive another dive site.

The people were kind, conversational and welcoming. The property was clean and well maintained. Their dive center (ocean passion) had new equipment, great dive pricing, and the dive masters were friendly and helpful.

CanadaWhen a guest arrives, they should turn on the air conditioning to give it a five minute Headstart. It would also be nice if they could help with instructions for making an electronic transfer using the Wise app.

FinlandVery beautiful garden setting, very good and affordable food and drinks at the restaurant. Nice and helpful staff. Clean rooms that can accomodite the whole family. Big pool good for swimming and diving courses. If you like to scuba dive, they offer all you need for that in the same spot. Very close to the port, 2 min walk. Children got scuba certified there, they had very good and patienced instructor. Nice divemasters and managers too. Great value for money, everything just worked out smoothly!

Singapore1. shower water was salty. don’t expect to bathe with clean fresh water here after your dive. you’ll be sticky the entire stay 2. staff weren’t very friendly or helpful. it’s like they did the minimum required of their job. 3. Not worth for the money paid. although i understand this island has a generally higher cost for everything.
Comfortable enough. Is a place to rest at night. Didn’t try the facilities like the pool etc

United StatesThe room was a little old & run down. The shower water was hot but the pressure was very weak. The bathroom towels barely dried you because have the consistency of a blanket.
Location was fantastic: just 2min walk from the port and 5min walk from most dive centers. The room was clean and the property was quiet. The pool was clean and restaurant by the pool was tasty for the island. I dived with another dive shop so I can’t comment on Slam’s dive equipment but it looked good.

South AfricaOur room was located right above the dive shop area so early morning prep for the morning dive did interrupt a bit of our sleep. Otherwise great stay and value for money.
Pool area is great and the onsite restaurant is great for a poolside snack. The breakfast options cover most tastes. Our room was comfortable with daily cleaning as an option and a excellent aircon. The shower water pressure was good and it had hot water. Wifi was strong throughout the property.

FranceThanks to the whole team at SLAM’S we had the best time in Malapascua! The resort and rooms are simple, clean and confortable. The pool side is awesome, and lovely to hang out at after a long day of diving/snorkeling. We did our advanced diving course with SLAM’S and enjoyed the experience. We felt super privileged to dive with thresher sharks and all the beautiful animals living around the island. What really made our experience 5⭐️ was the team! Everyone from Milky at reception, to JR our diving instructor, made us feel super welcome and helped us too many times to count (helping us to arrange transportation, scan documents, plan a birthday surprise… to name a few 😉) We were super sad to leave SLAM’S and are already looking forward to being back. We will miss everyone (and of course our best friend Pit-Pit, please give her a special kiss from us 🐕😘)

AustraliaIt would be good if they provided pool / beach towels in the room since the bathroom towels clearly aren't to be used for this. I was a little disappointed to find out that there were NYE parties on the island which the staff didn't know about (I asked a few of them) so I went to bed well before midnight only to be woken by fireworks on the beach. Next year I recommend that they do some research to let guests know about where they can attend NYE events.
The property is very quiet and is a 3 minute walk to the ferry and various beaches. I really liked the pool but be aware that it's very deep. They have life jackets for kids to wear but even adults can't stand up in it (it's used for dive instruction). The rooms are cleaned daily, and the shower and toilet are in separate rooms. My room had a good hot water shower. You can pay via PayPal or bank transfer and will be contacted to pay the first night this way (it's legit). They don't accept credit cards currently. Cash is fine. I'd definitely recommend staying here.
