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...).

AustraliaLike a few other reviews have mentioned, the staff seemed indifferent—not rude, but not particularly attentive either. During my stay, I had to switch rooms due to a change in my travel plans (unrelated to the accommodation). My first room was lovely, but the second, on the ground floor, lacked privacy as the curtains didn’t close properly and had a leaky shower.

United KingdomThe bed in our room is so low. I just wished they make it a level which people like me with back problem can easily go up every time i need to. Apart from that everything is ok!
It’s a very beautiful hotel. The architecture is really nice. Good value for money. The food and the people in the resto is very good too. Will definitely book this hostel when i get back in Dumaguete. 😊

GermanyThe standard room was located in the ground floor, right behind the lot where live music is played until 10pm. It felt more like an ill-maintained storage unit. The room only had one dim lamp, the faucet was coming off the wall, the plaster was crumbling, the bath full of mosquitos, and other friends (cockroaches, tikis). When we asked for an additional blanket, they wanted to charge extra. With this little of a price difference to the deluxe room, the gap in service was not at all justified and you will get better value for money somewhere else.
We booked two different rooms. The first few nights we spent in a deluxe double, located at the upper floor. The room was really spacious and well-equipped with large windows and a nice bathroom. Since we liked the room, we extended but only a standard room was available for the additional night, no problem, so we thought.

PhilippinesThe water pressure for the shower on the 2nd floor, private room and private bathroom was so low it could barely wash me. The water also came out brown after the rain. Because of the architecture, while nice, is somewhat open air so cigarette smoke and mosquitos get into the room.
Close to the university, the waterfront, and restaurants. The design of the hotel was pretty cool. Bed was also quite comfortable. Appreciate the availability of filtered water for drinking.

NetherlandsI stayed at the Flying Fish two times. On my second time the room was very noisy for some reason, looked like someone was walking on top of the ceiling window, also a/c is pretty old and noisy too. there’s no way to regulate the temperature of the water. apart from these details, everything was perfect!
Perfect location close by the airport, rooms are simple but very clean, lots of space where to chill even after check out time, staff is very kind, breakfast is delicious!

PhilippinesI’m not sure if not so clean faucet and shower head is part of the aesthetic but I wish they clean it better to avoid doubts. I guess there’s a fine line between achieving the distressed rusty theme w/o doubting the cleanliness.
Location is near to the airport; theme of the structure is interesting

FranceThe private room didn't have a fan nor bed-side light. It did have AC but I prefer a fan to AC. I had a few mosquitoes during the night, so a mosquito net or a fan might be something to add. In the dorm, the staff couldn't find the correct key for the locker.
I booked one night in the dorm and one night in a private en-suite. The dorm was very good, with lots of safe storage space under the bed, and more space at bed level to have my luggage. There was even a rack to hang a towel or fabric for some privacy. No issues with mosquitoes in the dorm, probably because it has AC and a fan. I loved the style of the hostel. Bed was very comfy. Breakfast in the cafe next door was very nice. Close to lots of nice restaurants. Staff was useful. Would love to stay there again.
