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...).

Great location for the sardine run and for the buses to / from Cebu. All of the staff were so friendly and helpful, excellent lattes for a good price before 1030am. We explored via bus to two waterfalls, both were easy to get to and stunning. Highly recommend this hostel!

IrelandThe guesthouse with private rooms is about a 5 minute walk away from the actual hostel, however this wasn’t a very big deal with the overall experience still being very good and very good value for money. It is a little bit away from the main tourist area near Panagsama beach but there was always tricycle taxis available at a reasonable price to take us over and back.
We had a lovely stay at the Laguno hostel. Everything was very comfortable and the communication with the owners was fantastic particularly as they helped us organise several activities at very reasonable prices.

Wifi was good, bed was comfortable. Bathroom was OK. You can book a tour with them to Kawasan Falls. Its right in front off the bus stop to Cebu so it was easy to come and go. There are shops and fast food restaurants as well around.

MoroccoAlthough the hostel is not by the beach, the cheap price, ability to rent scooter and location at the heart of town more than make up for it!
Really good facilities, dorm rooms were really cozy and cool, perfect for a good night sleep! The host Maria is extremely nice and helpful! She really helps create an amazing athmosphere and helps with any questions you might have as well as help in organizing tours.

United KingdomWe went into the new guesthouse for couples. Lovely big room. Very clean. Comfy bed and awesome shower. Nice garden and seating. Air con was quiet. Really enjoyed being here. The owners are so helpful, chatty and caring. We walked round to the hostel to use the fridge and have breakfast and chats. Good places nearby for food a fraction of the cost of beachside Moalboal. We walked or habel-habel into the main bar strip but preferred staying here close to markets and people!

CanadaIf you only want to see the sardines and sit on white beach there are places closer to stay, but you'll miss the quiet charm of the town. And you'll be far from the bus station, which you'll regret because your entire party will bake under the hot sun waiting for the chronically late buses to show. This accommodation is close enough that you can take turns waiting while the other is inside the accommodation.
Staff, hospitality and value are second to none. Not exaggerating when I say every other guest in my six dorm room were long term guests all staying 3+ weeks with some here for their fifth stay. Location is at the heart of town, across the street from the bus stop. Lots of eateries nearby, walkable to the large supermarket, and convenient for transport. All guests were invited to partake in the staff and family Christmas dinner, which was delicious.

The hostel is quite good, the staff are extremely amazing ( a family running the hostel ) They have a kitchen of you are sick of eating outside you can just cook. Free water for refill & free coffee The location is a bot far from the swimming area but everything you need is located in the area of the hostel. You can rent a bike 10-15 min drive by bike to the beaches. Overall love it
