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...).

United KingdomNothing! It was great!
One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in! Amazing facilities, very clean, hot shower, free shampoo, conditioner and body wash, plenty of hooks and shelves, 2 pillows, free water, big and little lockers and a communal kitchen! Staff were so helpful and friends, the free shuttle to and from 7/11 and then beach are amazing! 100% would recommend to anyone.

SpainThere is a room for 6 people. Is. A bit to small. We got into this and the lockers were outside which was not so comfortable. Anyway there are other rooms with 4 or less beds and we had a great time there.
They have free shuttle all day long to the beach and to the main city. The staff is amazing. Always super polite, friendly and helpful. I haven’t had that in other hostels. Everything is very clean. You see all day long someone cleaning. They really take care of the hostel. Nice shared areas like the kitchen.

United KingdomWhile the beds are a decent size the dorms are a little cramped. Lockers are outside the dorms but you do have a little safe next to your bed. Showers are separate to the sleeping quarters. But none of these things really detract from the overall experience. I would still recommend staying here.
Fun design with the shipping containers! Dorms were very clean and the showers were decent. Staff were lovely and you can book a few tours through them too. Place is about a leisurely 15min+ walk to the beach but the hostel offers regular transport

AustraliaSo clean, comfortable and quiet. All the staff were endlessly helpful and friendly. The hourly shuttle worked perfectly for me, and the walk into town is an easy 15 minutes on a flat road outside of the shuttle hours of operation. I would stay longer next time.

United StatesNot having free coffee sucked. The distance from town wasn’t ideal but like I said, the free shuttle made up for this in a huge way!
Cleanest bathrooms of any hostel I have ever been to. Pretty sure they cleaned them 3x a day or more! Also they have a free shuttle every hour to and from the main part of town so it helps with the fact that the hostel is a little far from most things. There are 2 bakery shops next to the hostel (1 cheap and local 1 touristy and expensive).

CanadaThe property is about a 20 min walk to the main area of town and offers a shuttle service which doesn’t run past 7pm. The only time we wanted to use it was after dinner and such but the walk is fine or tricycles are available for hire.
Really nice hostel on the main road. Clean and nice staff. The breakfast was ok. They offer tours and airport pick up/drop off. Quiet away from main busy area. Would stay here again!

United KingdomNothing!
One of the best hostels we've stayed in, for the price you couldn't ask for more! The staff are so friendly and the facilities are kept immaculate. We loved that they offer free shuttles down to the beach, and their activities are very reasonable and really good. It's located opposite a fantastic cafe, and has a really nice rooftop area to relax on with its own little bar. The vibes are very relaxed, definitely not a party hostel which was perfect for us. If you're staying on Moalboal, I really would reccomend staying here. We wish every hostel was like this.

United KingdomThe only thing that could improve is that the hostel is closer to the beach, but they provide a shuttle taking you there regularly so even this is actually not a problem at all! You can also walk from the beach about 20mins walk :)
The friendliest, most helpful staff! The cleanest hostel I have stayed in the Philippines so far! Very comfortable stay. I definitely recommend this hostel as this was such a great stay and I could have easily stayed longer :)

They helped me sort out a bike, and the money goes to a dog sanctuary so I would recommend renting a bike from here. Aircon is very good, cocktails were lovely and the hostel was very clean. They also offer free shuttles for arrival and departure! Thank you!

Staying at Pig Dive Hostel was an absolute delight! Their facilities are top-notch—everything was so comfy, homie, and impeccably clean. It’s rare to find a place that feels this cozy and welcoming, and they nailed it! The customer service? 100/10! The staff went above and beyond to make me feel at home, and I genuinely appreciated their warmth and attentiveness throughout my stay. I left with nothing but positive memories and can’t wait to come back. I highly recommend Pig Dive Hostel to anyone looking for a fantastic, worry-free stay. If you’re considering it, trust me—it’s worth it!

PortugalNot a 10 only because it is a bit noisy (party people, roosters... the room walls are not soundproof). The location is not the best, but the transfer to the beach is very convenient.
It's great value for money, and the staff is incredible. Everything is super clean, the AC is good (and the silent mode works).
