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 KingdomWe booked a triple room and got this weird enormous room with 4 beds in it, which felt very strange. The double bed was also very small so we ended up having to sleep in separate beds. We also were weren’t in the main building but in a weird annex which felt a bit dodgy. The were hairs on the bathroom walls
Very good location and perfectly fine as a cheap place for a few nights.

DenmarkUpon arrival they told us that the place had bedbugs so we couldn’t stay there. We were told that they would refund us so we booked at another place. Went there for 3 days in a row to try get the refund but they said that they didn’t have the money and that they would ask Booking.com for the money. But now, 1 month later, they still haven’t refunded us and are no longer answering. Worst experience ever.

ChinaThere was a draught so water was scarce, and therefore I was unable to bathe at the times that I wanted. But I just had to wait a bit to shower, it's more a of problem with the town that the hostel really.
It was a great stay here, the vibes are on point. I really liked the free booze, and the owner is really cool. Beds and bathroom where alright, it's to be expected from a hostel. No complains though, slept like a baby.

United StatesSometimes there was no water for showering, because I came during a time where there is a drought in the town. So I was told the city is rationing water, and I had to a wait a couple of hours to take a shower.
I enjoyed the free rum during happy hour, it's quiet nice that they even offer free alcohol every night. The rooftop bar had amazing vibes, and view. The people are there to have a good time and drink the free rum.

New ZealandIts a great place to stay they had the cheapest dorm rooms with air-con I was at another place with a fan room but this place gave me aircon dorm for the same price. The beds all had privacy curtains which I really liked. The dorms were clean they were quite full but I guess thats why they are a little cheaper. Overall it was a great stay I extended for a week....day by day just chillin, we met there every night for a happy hour and meeting point on the roof top for a free happy

United KingdomOur wasn’t ready when we arrived at 6:30pm and we were told to come back later (even though check in is at 3). We had to ask 4 times to be given towels. We also had no running water for a full day so we couldn’t even flush the toilet, and when the water did come back on it was brown. There were also black worms in the bathroom.
Friendly staff and good location

GermanyGreen Gecko is the perfect accommodation for backpackers, whether for longer or shorter periods. It is located right in the center of the beautiful city of Coron and is the perfect place for exploration and adventure, various tours and many other things to do here. When we arrived, we were greeted by the very friendly staff and they showed us around. After making ourselves comfortable, we enjoyed the breathtaking view from the rooftop terrace during happy ½ hour with free rum. The hostel itself is a large and very clean house with two bathrooms, so you don't have to wait long for your turn to shower. The owner and his family come by almost every day and it's great fun chatting with them as they give you a great insight into life in the Philippines. They also offer a large number of tours at a great price, so there's plenty to do every day. They also gave us a really nice and big discount on the 3 days 2 nights Coron to El Nido island hopping tour which was awesome! The famous Tapyas mountain with the most beautiful sunsets in Coron is only a few minutes walk away, and the local market is also only a few minutes away. This hostel is so much more than just a place to stay, it's more of a social gathering with travelers and locals, which makes for the perfect mix.
