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 KingdomFood prices were pretty high. The place is pretty big, so there is an impersonal feel.
Bed in dorm with own light, power socket, full heavy curtain for privacy. A good number of toilets and bathrooms which were cleaned often. A pool. Location was 20 minutes walk to the public beach . Air conditioning in room good and very quiet. Large locker. Overall, the best facilities of any hostels have stayed in, in the Philippines.

ItalyThe showers available to everyone don't have warm water, hence if you have a place in a dormitory be prepared to the "cold" (but we are in the Philippines, water is never really cold). Toilets always have a lot of water on the ground. About toilets and showers it looks line they would need some maintenance. The restaurant is very pricey compared to the local ones. Also the motorbikes rental actually.
New environment, with big open space where you can stay freely as long as you like, also very late in the night. If you don't mind the background music it's a good environment to work with the laptop, especially after dinner, when it's really quiet. Good WiFi in the common area. Beautiful big swimming pool, (pricey) restaurant that can prepare you local dishes but also a big variety of non local ones. Pool freely available to everyone. Little toilet in the room, plus many toilets and showers downstairs. A good combination, zero waiting time and the room is more quiet. Towel and little soap included. Very comfortable bed with good curtains, big locker under the bed that you can use with your lock. Light and power socket in every bed. You can rent a moto in a few minutes. A bit far from the most dense areas, so more quiet, but very close to a very well equipped grocery shop and some local little restaurants. Free water. A lovable staff.

United Statesfor dorms, only cold showers and the dorm toilet was always a bit dirty. I saw them cleaning it, but there was never enough toilet paper and the hose leaked so the water was always super wet. they need more hooks in the dorms and a place to hang wet clothes thats covered from the rain (nothing ever dried)
beautiful pool and dining area. staff were super friendly and helpful! bed was comfortable and it was a quiet place.

ItalyThe food quality can be improved.
This is how a hostel should looks like! Very nice, clean & cosy. We loved our stay even if it was just two days. You can have your own privacy if you get the private room but also meet lots people in the chill area and play pool. We definitely recommend it.

SingaporeThe blankets were a bit thin for the nights we spent in the dorm. Without aircon, they're fine.
Overall a very very nice place with awesome food and very friendly and helpful staff. We extended three or four times because it definitely seemed like the best place around. The beach down the road is also beautiful, great for snorkeling once you swim out a bit, and it is not overcrowded. The hostel is a bit far from Alona and the main tourist area, but the staff rented us a very good scooter and even gave discount because we rented it for a couple of days. If we should ever come back to Panglao, we will stay there again for sure.

I like that they are pet friendly and their interior of the room and pool area was beautiful.

Czech RepublicIt seemed bit more like resort than a hostel. Don’t get me wrong, it was riddiculously nice, but it was not as social as other hostels
This hostel was a bit out of this world luxury wise. It seemed fairly new and it was super clean.

PhilippinesNeed to improve the toilet and bath because everytime you shower, water causes flood to the toilet area. At least have a divider to prevent the water reaching the area on the toilet floor :)
