Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

DenmarkIts more like a 2 or 3 star hotel. Very clean, quiet area, close to dive shops and restaurants. Staff are nice, and mr. Bong has your bag and will help you in any case. Highly recommend.

AustraliaThey don't serve breakfast and there is not really any options for quick easy breakfast nearby especially if you need to be up early for a dive trip.
Very nice clean modern and spacious rooms. Lots of places to hang wet clothes & diving gear. Short walk from Mikes diving resort and from restaurants. The staff here were so friendly, wish we could have stayed longer.

United StatesThe room was a little small, but once we unpacked and used all the cabinets the space was perfect. The pillows were too big for the bed, so my wife and I had to fight for space--- this place was great, there is nothing serious to dislike.
Extremely clean with a modern room. Awesome location close to the beach, dive shops, and restaurants. Bong, the host was very helpful and efficient. He arranged a motorbike at a fair price, recommended great restaurants, cafes, and waterfalls to explore. The bed was comfy. The aircon was new and quiet. Numerous drying racks outside for wet clothes or dive gear. The wifi worked well. The free cup of espresso in the morning was the icing on the cake. 100% recommend

Germany+/- room size is not too big, but appropriate for the cheap room rate
+ good cleanliness + comfortable, big bed + reasonably fast and reliable WiFi + very friendly staff (especially Bong) + good location, just a few min walk from restaurants, mini-supermarkets and some dive shops in Dauin + relatively quiet neighborhood (except for some normal chicken/dog noises like everywhere in rural Philippines, but with aircon as white noise it was not very loud)

We had a great stay at Amigos Hostel. The room was super clean and very well furnished (made for divers) and was cleaned daily. Sir Bong made our stay perfect, we will miss his service and warm manner in the future. He helped us choose a dive center, through him we enjoyed great dives at Critters Republic, with pick up service at the hostel. Every day we had fresh papaya and cafe for breakfast, served with wit and good mood and conversation, which made our stay perfect. Thank you very much Sir Bong

PhilippinesI stayed many hotels as business and leisure.Amigos is definitely a place I would want to return to if I went to Dauin. Rooms are perfectly sized for one or two people. They are well cleaned and equipped with air conditioning, refrigerator, safety deposit box, wall-mounted TV, and hair dryer. I am a diver and need a hanging place for my laundry, and no way, it comes with hangers under sunshine!And I love hot hot shower, yes they have. The room is also equipped with wifi, which is perfect for web meetings. But my favorite part is the dining area in front of the front counter where I can relax as if I were at home. Every morning I am greeted with a cup of freshly brewed coffee and the smiling of MrBong and his staffs.This time, with special papaya! After diving, I bought beer nearby and enjoyed it here also. The staff is really friendly and helpful. I have refrained from commenting so far because I was afraid I would lose occasion for my reservation, but it was a really nice stay, so I am commenting to thank you. See you again soon!

CanadaWhy in Phillipines, they mostly have shower head that spread in all direction rather than straight and narrow water jet.
Nothing to say, just fullfill with the hostel. To me it's not a hostel it is an hotel 3 star.

I stayed an extra 5 days because I was having such a good time. The staff is so great and makes the place run smoothly! Mr. Bong, Tisa, Josie and Vickie make you feel right at home. They keep the rooms spotless (daily cleaning), help with special requests and questions, greet everyone with a warm smile each time you return. Close to the beach. Near to the best eateries in town. Off the main road enough to be quiet. Ideal location! I was there for muck/macro diving and simple, clean, good internet was all I needed. Small and simple rooms but just perfect for me as solo traveler. I don’t need fancy or big and this was right price point!

Bong was really helpful and provided us with all kinds of tips and information. On top of that there good coffee in the morning! If you want to go for diving or snorkeling we'd definitely recommend Bongo Bongo Divers, just a couple of min. walk from Amigos Hostel.

United StatesI have zero things to offer for improvements. Truly.
This place is the perfect stay if you want great location, super clean, amazing staff, comfort and affordability. I can’t say enough great things about my time here. The beds are comfortable, coffee each morning and the BEST part - the staff. Mr. Bong and his team finger extra mile to help you with questions, to find your way around town, suggestions, scooter rental, day trips, etc. The smiles they share are genuine and you will really feel looked after here. You won’t feel like a guest— you’ll feel welcomed home each day. Water refill station, solid wi-fi (I’m digital nomad) and great air con. They really care about your experience and go the extra mile. Thank you, Mr. Bong, Tiza and the crew. You do a wonderful job!

NetherlandsThe very best host and person where you can ever stay! Nothing but praise and thankfulness for Bong and Mrs Cathy. I stayed at their accomodation for 4 days, lovely place, great bed and shower and very clean. I have traveled quite a bit but never stayed somewhere with such an extremely kind and caring host as Bong! At the first day he showed me around where to go at the back of his scooter, helped me where to go to for diving. But most athonished and extremely thankful was I when on the last day I had a bad accident with my neck, Bong went with me in the ambulance to the hospital and even stayed with me until 2 o’clock in the morning until he was sure I had my own room after being in the ER. Next morning he came back with lots of fruit, drinks and snacks and stayed for quite some time and came back again the same day just to keep me company with me while I was traveling alone. The next day he brought my suitcase and the next even took dirty clothes with him to return freshly washed the next morning. He helped me check out of the hospital and being me to the port. For all his time, food and trouble he didn’t even want to accept any payment at all. I can’t recommend and thank him and Mrs Cathy enough. Extremely gratefull to have stayed here: THANKS A MILLION!!! Highly recommend this place to each and everyone!
