Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

They only provide one small blanket with the bed. There was also no table so we had to use the monoblock chair when we ate. Shower does not have hot water. And at one morning there was no running water, I reported that to the front desk but they just said to wait til 6am.
You get what you pay for. It was cheap and at the center of establishments so that's a plus. The beds were also comfy. Overall room and bathroom were spacious.

- • Bed in Male Dormitory Room

Finding the place is not easy, no sign outside (Go through a door next to a money exchange and walk up to the 3rd floor). The dormitory is a big room with over 30 bunkbeds, these beds are not closed, everyone can see your bed, 0 privacy. This room is also not particularly clean. The bedsheets or linens are actually mattress covers. They dont have lockers for your valuables. You dont have any sockets nearby your bed, for this you have to go to the lobby to charge your belongings. Shovers and bathrooms are completely disgusting, smells like urine, no toilet paper or toilet seat. To clean yourself after using the toilet they provide you only with a bucket of water and a cup. The surrounding area and the streets are not safe (even locals told us to always grab a taxi and to not walk around. During our stay they have been painting the bunkbeds, the main room and the lobby, everything smells intensivly like fresh paint.
The personal is very friendly. Check in was quick and easy. Many planes to eat or drink nearby. Great location, many places for sightseeing on foot distance (less than 25-30min). You can go to Rizal Park, museum of fine arts, Oceanpark, Intramuros, Binondo etc. Its well connected to local transport. Everything you need nearby, hospital, farmacy atms. They had a working AC and Wifi. Extending our stay was quick and easy. Bunkbed prices in the dormitory are very cheap.

My only concern was the curfew (and they lock the gate). Some of the contact numbers I called was unreachable and they’re signage was not visible enough.
Cheap room rates. We were late in checking in coz they have a curfew, but luckily someone answered from there contact number (I got from FB) and she called the staff in Dormitels and they still accommodated us.

The place is not indicated on the road, had to ask to several people to find the entrance. The entrance is at a money changer, with a old couple doing their business such eat and sleep, with several cats around. Reached the place, the room was ok, but the toilet was very dirty, se the shower, no trace of a mirror. When I saw a huge beatle running in the lobby, i take my things and runned away
