Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

AustraliaNothing.
As soon as we arrived we were welcomed with open arms and a refreshing welcome drink. Amy and Pedro are amazing hosts and all the staff are friendly and helpful making your stay relaxing and hassle free. The room was comfortable with a beautiful view of the sea to wake up to and then mosey over to the restaurant for breakfast. We had all our meals at the restaurant which were delicious and there was a great variety to choose from. Our diving exceeded our expectations it was just so beautiful and a big thank you to Niko our guide and all the boat crew who made it so relaxed. Arkipelago definitely will be back !!!

Abkhazia, GeorgiaThe wster need to be filtered since its salty. Youll feel youre still not clean after shower
OMG! we HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place!!! for their hospitality, accommodating, and for being considerate. the owner Ms. is very thoughtful. Amy is very kind, she is the charm of this dive resort. when we arrived at the place they welcomed us with warm greetings and cold drinks perfect for the sunny weather since we were so tired from the commute and ferry. we arrived a bit early but before that the management sent us a msg asking if we needed help or service going to the hotel from the port. we booked the double room through booking.com but they only offer standard room or family which isn't really stated on booking.com, but even so, Amy was very nice and helpful and thoughtful to upgrade our booking to 2 big beds with pool view since we have kids, so that we could watch over the kids while they are swimming and they also provide us Cot for the baby. next they were our anniversary, and Amy prepared a cute super tasty strawberry cake as a gift! 🎂 that was so sweet of her. on our 3rd day i avail their discovery Scuba diving with guide for 4000 pesos inclusive with the guide boat tank and gears, i was flabbergasted when saw the massive Pawikan for the first time and unbelievable habitats under the water.. super alive coral reefs and different kinds of fish it was a fun experience. Amy made sure ill get the best experience so she gave me a slot exclusive all for me only.. they were generous enough to lend my husband gears as well for free diving as he follows me where ever i go during my scuba.. they even looked after my baby and kids during that time. I was so grateful.. then later on out 5thday thats supposedly our checkout ,we realized we havent had enough diving so we extended our stay for a night, and amy was still generous and thoughtful to give us the same room with same rate. Thank you Amy and her husband and of course their staff for making our vacation special and fun.. we will definitely come back to this place!

United States of AmericaEverything was well-organized. We were met at the boat, giving an introductory briefing, shown our rooms and organized for diving in a few minutes. The staff did an outstanding job of greeting us, getting us settled and equipped. Our cohort of divers met for the first dive and it was wonderful - the great divemasters made me feel very confident and safe. The restaurant is very nice - great food and great staff. Wonderful breakfast and some nice craft beers too! I was a solo traveler. but felt very welcome here.

Hong KongStaff were very helpful and accomodating. Great view. The location was not hustle bustle like the major street and yet not too far away from the main street. Love sitting in front of the beach and enjoying our drinks after a day of diving.

Arkipelago is not just a diving resort. They provided extra service like a travel agent to sort out my headache in booking the transportation to and fro the resort from Manila at the peak season in the Easter long holiday. Their staff Joy even followed us up during the journey to ensure we were arrived safely. I would like to give extra credit to them so that I could enjoy my fun diving in the 2 nights stay. Amy has trained a good team of staffs to serve their guests.

SwedenNothing. I booked a sea view and got a view strait in to the kithen where all the staff could look in to our room. We had to use the curtains all the time and it was like a cave. The pool was full of divers all the time and it was right outside 3 apartments with folioscreen so you didnt know if they were watching you or not. The safety box were not monted in the Wall so We couldnt use it. No iron or hairdeyer in the room. We had to ask. We got a deadly dangerouse iron from probobly 1972. Cold was not safe
Nothing . I have lived in 14 hotel and this was the worst for the money i paid.
