Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

JapanNothing really.
I had left luggage here on my Balabac trip. They were kind and accompany me while waiting for my van transport for both Balabac and El Nido. They do arrange van transfer and had laundry service which is quite convenient. I had move to a bigger room with better space compare to the first day. The room ac is works pretty well to combat the summer heat. I had good sleep here and definitely recommended transient place if you do layover in Puerto Princesa for another destination in Palawan.

JapanThere are time of the day were water pressure is weak, must be aware of it.
I only intend to stay in Balai Viviencio for a night for a layover off to Balabac and ended up staying for another two nights. It's kind of home away from home. The room is simple with shared bathroom. It has a fan, AC and small table with lamp. There are two bathroom, one in 2F is bit small compare to groundfloor one. The staffs, I believe the owners themselves are very welcoming and had treated us like family guests. Its located in the city centre of Puerto Princesa so convenient to Airport and SM mall. Its quite peaceful neighborhood and had no problems sleeping at night.

The hostel is located very close to the airport and next to the shopping mall. It's very convenient, especially if you come for 1 or 2 nights. AC in the room, attentive staff.

PhilippinesThese are things to note for other travellers, I did not mind any of these but maybe some others will: 1. The single room is small. Just big enough for one bed and a tiny side table. 2. The floor and walls are wooden, so you can hear people outside and they can hear you as well. 3. The restrooms are shared. 4. No hot water in the shower.
1. The location: it was near the airport, near the biggest mall in the city and near the hospital. It was also situated by the highway so it was easy to find, and all the tuktuks knew where it was. 2. The price was cheap, for a place that's situated in the middle of everything. For the price of a dorm bed in other hostels, I was able to book a single bed private room for myself, albeit it was wooden and didn't have its own restroom. 3. The amenities: I had my own aircon, fan, and a lot of sockets for my gadgets. 4. The restrooms are stocked with toilet paper, shampoo and body wash. The water pressure is good. The whole place is always kept clean. 5. They provide free drinking water in the kitchen and dining area. 6. You can order breakfast at the place or you can eat at the pares store near it, or at the mall.

ItalyThe area is a bit noisy from the early hours of the day.
Unfortunately my room was too small to be comfortable, on the other hand the staff was really helpful and genuine. I would go back and choose a double room perhaps, but I would definitely go back.

United KingdomI can’t fault it :)
The property was perfect. Ran by the most lovely lady and her family. The property was clean and had everything which was needed. AC and fans in the rooms, shared bathrooms which were always super clean, a nice downstairs chill area and really good wifi. They were so accommodating with my late flight, allowing me to use the shower and lounge area until I had to leave in the evening late for the airport.

The staff here were amazing, helped us book everything last minute at the same rate as everywhere in town. The place itself was always clean, the room was small but big enough for the 2 of us. Aircon and wifi worked well throughout the stay. Walkable distance from the airport, took us about 15 minutes
