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...).

United StatesThis place is great and I really enjoyed my stay, but it is definitely not for everyone. If you look at the photos and read the description then you should know exactly what you are getting into. Cold nature shower, outdoors, no ac, etc. Staff was very kind. The included breakfast was yummy and so is the family dinner if you chose to participate. They have a small little shop with some snacks on property which is nice. The location is out of the main tourist area, but that’s one reason I really liked it. There is a bus you can take from the main town out to the hostel that is cheap and easy enough to navigate. It is great if you can ride a bike or can find someone who will drive you around, but if not, they do offer tours and tuktuk services. I stayed in both room types. Upstairs is open air, a covered deck, with mattresses on the floor. More comfortable than I expected but it was full when I was there so a little bit cramped. When I extended I moved to the room with the hanging beds. It is enclosed and has an en-suite. I thought the hanging beds were super cool and I was glad I got to try it out. The seating/common space was large. Many hammocks, chairs, hanging benches. The dinners really brought everyone together. Most people staying opted in for that which was really great. Had a nice stay and would recommend this to anyone who is remotely interested. I was on the fence about it, but I’m so glad I chose to stay here!

ChinaWords can't fully express how much I love this place. Even after experiencing a scooter accident during my stay, I received exceptional care from the staff—especially from Fede and Renne, who truly felt like angels, helping me recover in no time. The entire team here is incredible, always ready to assist with a warm heart. Everyone I met was so kind, making this the best hostel I've ever stayed in. I genuinely miss my time there.

United KingdomA very special hostel in the heart of Bohol. Location is amazing, in the hills. Value for money is exceptional. The staff are so kind. The family dinner is 200 pesos and easily some of the best food we have had in the Philippines. It is magic to go to sleep listening to the crickets and wildlife and the rain on the roof and waking up to the chickens. Loads of chilling/social areas. Breakfast tasty. Thank you to all the staff, we hope we will be back one day

United KingdomOnly problem we faced was the very long and frequent power cuts! I think this is an island wide problem so not the hostels fault but it was annoying.
We absolutely loved this hostel - amazing atmosphere and beautiful nature location with the dorm room open plan, lovely to hear the rain and jungle sounds at night. The ladies running the hostel are amazing - so friendly and helpful. Bike rental was easy and they offer breakfast daily which was great, and the family dinner every night was exceptional.

BelgiumNothing, I extended my stay because I felt so good in this peaceful paradise.
This place is amazing ! The lifestyle here is very close to nature, without compromise on coziness and cleanliness. There are hammocks in the common area, hanging beds in one of the dorms, a deck to practice yoga or sip your drink while looking at the coconut farm, open air showers,… The staff is very friendly and super helpful. Chickens, dogs and cats move around freely. Nice breakfasts included, lemongrass tea and instant coffee available for free all day, and social vegan buffet dinners for 200 pesos. Amazing sites to explore around the island with the good quality scooters of the hostel, and Juan even teaches first-timers! The place is sort of open air, so dorms don’t get stuffy, but since there are roofs everywhere you can chill comfortably even on rainy days. Thank you Renée, Juan and the team, I’ll sure be back if come back in the area!

Super friendly staff who organise lots of activities for guests. It’s such a cute little hostel right in the outdoors, so peaceful and relaxing. The facilities are excellent and kept very clean and there are lots of social common spaces to chill throughout the day. Family dinners were incredible and free breakfast and coffee too was a bonus!

Nice space to relax hostel it’s like a small family feeling when your there the grounds are amazing and there’s lots of activities to do. The highlight of my trip was walking the dogs which you can do if you ask the owners they are really friendly and loved to have some attention. Also, the family dinner was vegetarian but amazing food probably the best food I’ve had in the Philippines all for a small price
