Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

NorwayFelt dirty, didn’t even shower here because it felt so dirty, so we showered at a friends hostel everyday. The bathroom needs renovation. The sink kept splashing water all over me. And bugs everywhere

United KingdomVery noisy with loud traffic noise till 2am. Very poor consideration by fellow guests; alarms going off for 30 minutes at 430am, people switching main room lights on at 12 midnight and 5am. Staff were reluctant to challenge this behaviour. Little privacy in bunk compared to most hostels, curtain only covered third of bunk. No warm water in showers over 5 days.
Close to centre and ten minute walk to beach. Free breakfast was nice touch. Good aircon kept dorm cool. Clean environment, no shoes allowed. Hostel was frequently cleaned

New ZealandThe hostel is located in the main street so it was very noisy. They don't give you towels just to rent. It was just one shower in female bathrooms where the water was hot.
It was good located, the common kitchen was nice with all the amenities you need. The workers were really helpful and nice.

AustriaThe blankets for the beds were two rice sacks sewn together and hence too short. But we‘re sure they would help you out if you would ask them for better blankets.
The hostel had a great lounge to hang out. The rooms were spacious and the beds were well equipped (power outlet and lights). The location was perfect. The AC could be controlled very well (by staff). There was plenty space to hang clothes in the bathroom. Breakfast was available and as described (you have to prepare it yourself). The staff was very helpful with inquiries of all kind. We also liked how the hostel was super environmentally friendly conscious.

United StatesNo hot water in the showers, no soap, bathing gel or shampoo. Sinks have weird shape and the water from faucets splashes everywhere including the user. The AC is set too cold but the air doesn't move into the beds. No AC in the common space, when they play music it's too loud. Toasts and bananas for breakfast.

The location and accessibility - it’s near majority of the known spots in Panglao. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. I checked out then switched to another accommodation to be with friends. Then on my last day in Bohol I went back here to see if I can leave my things while I kill time before my evening flight and they said yes right away. Exceptional service. Thank you!

United KingdomThe hostel has been a 50/50 experience stay for myself. When I arrived I was able to check in early which I was thankful for. I unfortunately later on found a very large amount of ants in my bed and around the top of my bed. I informed the receptionist who did come and check and thankfully moved me to a different bed. He wiped down the wall where the ants were but that was it. There were a lot of ants in the conmen area especially around the bin. I’m not sure if this is due to it not being clean regular or if it is just a common thing in the Philippines for ants to be there. The air-con was turned off when I arrived which was not helpful due to it being and extremely hot day. When I arrived back after adventuring out for the day I had asked for the air-con to be turned on slightly early which was accommodated to, thankfully.
There was hot showers, it was in a good location. They offer free breakfast (toast and oats, coffee).
