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...).

PhilippinesOne of the staff is half Indian. Shes not that approachable compared to others. I guess she needs to know that she needs to approach everyone else with fairness and a good heart.
How approachable staff is except for 1.

BulgariaSuch an amazing place with comfortable rooms and the most helpful staff! They really went out of their way to assist us—not only arranging our airport transfers to and from Cebu City but also helping us get back some things we had forgotten. The trips they organized, like whale shark snorkeling in Oslob and canyoneering at Kawasan Falls, were so well-planned and absolutely unforgettable. Highly recommend this place for a hassle-free and memorable stay!

United StatesThe common areas could use more outlets or extension cords for those that need to be on their laptops.
Most notable the staff were all helpful in helping me plan and coordinate activities throughout my stay. Comfy hostel marked by: excellent air con in the dorms, free bath towel, 2 pillows, free coffee and water refill. Short walk to the beach to swim with sardines and sea turtles. Would def stay here again. Thank you all!

FranceStaying at this hostel was an absolute delight! The location, just a stone's throw away from the sea, provided the most serene backdrop for my stay. The staff were incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure my comfort throughout my visit. One of the highlights was definitely the chill area where I could enjoy a delicious breakfast, unwind, meet fellow travelers, and even enjoy a refreshing drink. It truly felt like a home away from home. Five stars all the way!

United StatesSome people noted that the water pressure was weak at times, but I think it just depends when you shower!
Couldn’t recommend Crazy Bears more!! The rooms were cleaned multiple times a day, no bugs, and great aircon. The staff was always so kind and helpful, we booked some excursions through them and Lemuel personally took us out snorkeling! It was the perfect mix of social and relaxing. Overall it was very comfortable and a great, fun place to stay!

Spacious and clean room with good air conditioning. The hostel is in a great location within walking distance to all bars, restaurants and the beach. Staff are extremely friendly and are always around to help. Shower/toilet areas were kept clean and were not crowded. The hostel holds activities in the evenings however music is turned off by 10/11 o’clock so doesn’t disrupt sleep. We booked tours through the hostel and both were great. Wi-Fi was strong.

PhilippinesJust slight nitpick but the heater in the 2nd shower was not working properly and I think you get a small electric shock if you touch the wrong pipe. 😂
Location was pretty much perfect. Proximity to almost everything (ATM, bars, restos, panagsama beachfront, even a small sari2 store right outside the alley). Staff were very accommodating and friendly.

Small hostel so easy to meet people! The location is perfect, close to "town" and the staff is friendly and helpfull. You can also book the tours with the hostel.
