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...).

GermanyThe price for a room was too much for the amenities. The rooms were small and simple and you even had to pay extra for a towel. The bar/restaurant was expensive and you couldn't see the sunset from there. The location wasn't good either since you had to walk 25 minutes to town or pay 100 pesos for a tricycle.
The staff was very nice and the hostel facilities were sufficient.

DenmarkWe had a bad experience at the restaurant, where we were largely ignored, especially by one waiter, who for example when my husband asked to see a menu just pointed in the direction and said that they were over there. The staff seemed friendly and attentive to the rest of the guests, so we felt very unwelcome and wondered why. We of course paid the obligatory service fee of 10 percent and they kept our change, but we went to bed with a feeling of not really having been given that service, nor enjoyed being there. It was really a pity as the hostel staff was so helpful and nice.
The receptionist helped us book a tour and to organize our luggage as we were changing hotels the same morning as the tour. When we came back from the tour, we could just go straight to our room where our luggage already was. The room was nicely decorated and we slept well there and appreciated the air condition. Though the price was higher than other towns we have stayed in, it wasn't humid inside the room as our other hotel in El Nido and there was no smell from the bathroom.

Franceyou really can find others hostels better for this price. the breakfast is not included, towels neither, or you have to rent it if you want one. i think that you only pay for the location on the beach and the name of the hostel because it’s famous in el nido.
it’s really clean and comfortable. a good vibe also to meet others backpackers.

SwitzerlandThe lock on the door is ridiculous, and the shower and tap flow too slow.
Friendly and helpful staff, comfortable bed, good AC, excellent and fast laundry service. The bar is quite pleasant with a view of the sea and closes at 11pm to avoid noise pollution, which is appreciated.

United KingdomThe bathrooms often didn’t have toilet roll. The dorm rooms were ok but very cramped. Not much room. It’s 100 php ride into town so not the best location.
Very friendly and helpful staff. The sunset bar was vibey and a goof place to hang out but the 241 cocktails are expensive, even for El Nido.

AustraliaThe bedroom is small, you don't have much space to open your luggage, it was very common the guests open their luggage in the corridor because of the absence of space. The fans were very small and even with all of them on, the room still stays a bit warm. Also, when I got sick I went to the reception to ask something and even before I finish my question, the girl I was talking to said she couldn't help me because she was already out of her duty, however the reception was supposed to be still on when I got there. Anyways, a bit of empathy would be nice.
The beds and bathrooms are good. The hostel has a nice vibe, they have a really nice area upstairs and lounge. One of the nights I got really sick and two of the staffs were very kind to me giving some meds and being attentive.

United KingdomI been stay 5 nights at this hostel, they didn’t clean the room at all, you need pay for the towels, also the shower of my room didn’t work. the prices of the bar they’re to high with the rest of el Nido. The distance it’s like 30 min walk from the city if you are alone the tuk tuk price between 100 and 150 pesos. For new years they didn’t have any breakfast or water was so bad. Plus you can’t paid with card on the bar. When all other hostel have card payments.
Have a nice bar on the front of the beach. Reception staff it’s very good

Italythere is literally no space/no surfaces to put any of your stuff. as a solo traveller you make do, but it's not for everyone. all in all it wasn't my personal cup of tea in terms of vibes and the price for the queen bedroom was a bit steep.
staff at front desk was helpful. nice being on a beach for a couple of nights, away from town chaos. the room was sufficiently comfortable for a solo traveller such as I.

United KingdomThe only issue I had with the hostel was that the music played at the bar was very loud every night and didn't suit the location in my mind (club and house music). You could hardly hear each other speak there from sunset onwards.
Location was good for getting in and out of town. The hostel backed right onto a lovely little beach. The private rooms were great with large bathrooms. The staff were more than helpful, and very attentive.
