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...).

ItalyIn my opinion the great value of this hostel is the location, Nacpan beach is a dream and the place is basically on the beach! You can enjoy the hostel's sunbeds, the cafe is very nice as well, I really liked the food. They organize party and events during the evenings, very cool.

United KingdomThe hostel is quite far out but that means you get more involved in the activities going on at the hostel. It’s really social and I’d recommend as a solo traveller. The rooms / showers are very basic but if you have a few drinks, you’ll soon forget about that! There’s also a fab long stretch of beach to walk down and it’s quiet which I loved

SwitzerlandI understand it's a party hostel and people want to party all night long but the music keeps on playing very loudly until 2 AM even if nobody is dancing anymore. I think the volume of the music could adapt better to the general mood of the crowd. There's no point of loud music when everyone went to bed already. There's no AC in the room which makes it a bit harder. Make sure to drink enough alcohol so this won't be a problem when you just pass out in your bed. While I'm hesitant with accusing an accommodation of having bed bugs, as it harms their reputation, this hostel repeatedly seems to have issues with them as i read in the reviews. We were also affected and believe we got them here but not 100% sure. We had a double room. It was hard to find as there is no signage and it'a not accessible by a road, only by the beach. Had to find this out the hard way when arriving by scooter. It was a bit pricey for what it offers.
The location on the beach is lovely and the hostel has some good vibes. The big beach in front is gorgeous. It's very social and always something going on. Mostly quiet during the day as people are just hanging around being hung over. In the evening it gets louder. The food there is ok and it is convenient to eat and drink there as there aren't many options outside. There is free drinking water.

United KingdomThe mattresses are quite frankly gross. Stains and marks all over them and the sheet comes off really easily so you can see them all. Very unhygienic
We had the loft room which had amazing views of beach. Facilities were good. Knew there was no air con but fans were ok although very loud.

BelgiumThe conditions are quite basic like no hot water in the shower (which is expected for a hostel so ok) but well, the price is quite high for the Philippines.
The staff is really welcoming and lovely! The location is nice, a beautiful beach as and we’ve enjoyed the food choice.

United KingdomThe hostel is in a remote & secluded location, about 40mins away from El Nido city centre. Make sure to barter the initial price given by the trike driver. For reference the hostel offers a round-trip van service for 700 PHP for a day trip and single trip for 400 PHP (prices as at Dec 2024).
The beach is the selling point of this hostel. Beach is absolutely stunning and worth the visit

I liked how my concern was addressed. The manager acted on giving me more comfort by upgrading my room to a cabana.

United KingdomThe only downside was that there was no hot water, and the weather wasn't warm enough to compensate. Additionally, they should include a hot drink with breakfast! :)
The hostel was quite clean, and all the staff were friendly and helpful. The most important part is that, even though it's a hostel, you still have the option to book a private double room, which was the best part for me.

New ZealandThey have no rooms with aircon. We were aware of this when booking so only stayed one night but if they had rooms with aircon we possibly would have stayed longer as this place is incredible.
If you know what to expect this place is amazing. It is on the most amazing beach with sun lounges and bean bags out the front a good restaurant and plenty happening. It’s not in el nido so we stayed a night in el nido and rented a bike to come up to nacpan for the night. About 40 mins away.
