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.).

PhilippinesIt's DIY close the gate, open the gate especially when the staff's not there. It's fine for the price though, I don't mind.
It's a very ideal spot. Tricycle drivers know the place, and it's also in a spot that's quite walkable to almost anywhere. Definitely great for me since I simply passed the night on my way to Bagac. Restaurants, bars, and convenience stores are in the area. I also woke up early for a jog, and the staff let me have the gate keys. Had McNuggets in a nearby McDonald's at 4am, no issues. Rates are very cheap too!

PhilippinesProper ventilation - It can be improved.
Owner is very accommodating and friendly. She waited for us even though we arrived late in the evening. Also, their location is very convenient and close to restaurants, public market, ATM, convenience stores, pharmacies, etc. (walking distance only). I also liked the complete amenities and decent Wi-Fi coverage. It's a noise-controlled neighboorhood too, and quiet. I will definitely come back if I visit Las Casas again.

PhilippinesThe bathroom is great but the door can use some updates. Also, maybe a little work for the fridge to give it a nice and fresh smell or just turn it on before the guests arrive to avoid "amoy-kulob".
I like their reliable internet connection, accessible location, and the property is peaceful and secured. We appreciate how comfortable our stay was at BTH. Kudos to Balanga for making it a clean and secured city at all times. We used to hang out at this place years ago and we decided to revisit. Nothing change. People are friendly, polite and disciplined. Until our next city walk adventure, thank you!

PhilippinesIts like your just at home. Room is actually good enough for 2 people. The room gives you everything you need. 6 pillows all in all, a ref, a/c and electric fan, TV, table and chairs, bathroom with heater and a humidifier which you can see if you booked at hotels. Very near the public market, restaurants to the plaza. Very satisfied with my stay hear. They also have a mini store and a resto on their own. You can order and they will cook.Ambience outside the room is also very relaxing. This is where you will feel you're just at home. I'll definitely book here again.

Canada1.The bunk beds didn't look sturdy especially when you sleep on the top bed. I almost slipped. 2. There was a cockroach in the washroom. We were only given 1 roll of toilet paper for 2 days. It's good we brought ours. 3. The room didn't look it was cleaned. The floor was not either. It was my first time to book for a hostel, didn't know what to expect. 4. The room was not not spacious enough for 8 persons dormitory... it felt cramped. 5. We were only provided a small blanket each.
The breakfast was not bad at all. However, we have to pay extra for the fried chicken; it was not mentioned on the menus.
