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...).

PortugalOnly thing is that the private room has no AC, only a fan which can be a bit noisy if you have a light sleep, not the case for me. Everything else, nothing to complain.
Upgraded from shared dorm to private room with bathroom for free as the dorms were overbooked. Nice beautiful private beach in front of the hostel.

PortugalToilet and shower from the dorm should be cleaned every day, but it wasn't, so that was the only less positive aspect of my stay.
Staff super friendly, good location, comfortable bed and clean, the beach is just in front and beautiful. They also have all the meals available in their restaurant or many other food options by walk. I loved it and I do recommend it :)

PhilippinesThe signal of the wifi doesnt reach our room. The signal is also not great in our room but when we go out in the reception or in the beach area, it works fine.
I love that its location is near to most tourist spots in Siquijor. Another commendable is their staff!! Very accommodating and nice. They respond to all our needs in an instant. Super sulit since they have private access to the beach.They also have spacious parking space and spacious room. Big advantage also is that they have their own restau so we do not really have to go out most of the time.

It is right next to the beach, and they also have restaurant. if you want to eat out, there are plenty of restaurants in the area. I actually just walk going to the center of San Juan like almost a kilometer of leisure walking. The price is good for a budget traveler like me.

Had a great stay at Tori's Backpacker's Paradise. We definitely enjoyed our relaxing stay at our cottage right in front of the beach. The owner was also very prompt with answering all our queries and all the staff were very helpful. Will definitely recommend Tori's to our friends who plan to visit Siquijor in the future.

PhilippinesThe facilities are the number one cons here. The shower is leaking so is the faucet in the lavatory. The drainage is a little bit clogged. The toilet is quite smelly. No complimentary soap, coffee and water. They just provide you with a water heater and mugs. You have to look for your own water container and ask for a refill in the reception. Only 2 rolls of toilet paper for 5 guests and that's also for the entire 4-day stay. The faucet produces a weird sound at times. The room and the surroundings aren't even cleaned thoroughly. There also dark areas in the resort. Especially the one near the beach. The parking area is not well lit and needs tidying up. The road going out of the resort is too inclined making it challenging for 4-wheeled vehicles to pass through.
The room is big and spacious. It can accommodate a maximum of 6. The sea is a very very good view from the cottage. Some staff are friendly and nice.

United KingdomWe had a safety issue with someone who was staying in our room. The man in question was acting very strange, as if he had taken a heavy illegal substance. he was going through our belongings and had no respect for our privacy. He was also acting very odd, spaced out and scary. We raised our concerns to the girl behind the bar and she dismissed us and didn’t want to do anything about our issue. we’re two young girls travelling; we’re happy staying in dorms but not when our safety and privacy are at risk. we asked to change rooms/ him to be moved and we were met with an irritated shrug. they eventually moved us into another room which they wanted us to pay extra for. we felt undermined and overlooked. we swiftly moved hostels, to a place down the road with nicer food, lovely staff and a safer atmosphere.
very rustic, surrounded by trees and animals. They had nice seating in the bar, a pool table and some hammocks.

SpainIt's not very social, unfortunately. But in my experience and based on friends I've met, this is quite common for Siquijor. If you're craving that instead, Fable seems to be the place to stay.
The room was HUGE and so comfortable! I had a great stay here. The food is incredible as well and very fairly priced, as was the entire stay. The hostel is surrounded by nature and by the beach. I recommend staying here!
