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.).

NetherlandsVery nice owner who arranges things you need. The place is nice situated but kind of in the middle of nowhere. But the airport is very close and if you want to do something go to the mall with a tricycle.

United KingdomThe walls are like paper, obviously you’re going to hear dogs fighting and cockerels all day long in the Philippines, but there were no windows just mosquito nets so I could hear different rooms conversations etc which meant I didn’t sleep great before my flight. Also no a/c just a fan and the building is fully open to the elements so I got a fair few bites despite mosquito spray
Close to the airport it was 150-200 pesos for a tuktuk there. Host is so lovely recommended places and offered to take me to the other bamboo nest for an event they were having

United KingdomIt’s not too difficult to find and the staff will give you the option of an airport taxi once you book, as well as directions to the hostel if you go on your own but the tuktuk I got from the airport had difficulty getting me there because of the military road, so maybe book the transportation with the hostel (it’s the same price)!!
The building itself is so lovely and there is a delicious restaurant just 1 minute away on the military road that cooked me vegetarian meals during my stay, the staff are extremely helpful and I even managed to book a last minute shuttle to Port Barton with no problem because of them! The art around the place is seriously awesome and the dogs and cats are so cute (if you lie on the hammock sometimes the cats jump into your lap)!

United StatesNothing! We loved everything about our stay.
We really loved staying here- it was one of the best places we stayed at in Palawan! The architecture, as the rest of the comments say, is truly stunning. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything you would need to cook. We loved lounging in the hammocks and walking around the small village area around the hostel. It was really easy to book and plan activities right at the hostel. Our host was really great and helped with everything! You will also get to meet a few furry friends. :)

Austria- water pressure could be better (like everywhere else) We enjoyed the short stay a lot.
Really nicely designed structure with a lot of details. Very kind host who was informative and helpful. Animal lover and artist. The place is located in authentic surroundings with a few shops and homes. They have another venue on the beach which is floating. Airport trike in the early morning 200PHP. Good price (17€) for room no.3 with two fans and two large beds. Kitchen, fridge, water, etc. available. Hostel atmosphere with enough privacy.

NetherlandsThe light from the hallway would shine brightly into my dorm waking me up sometimes when people walked around. Many dogs around that randomly fight each other in the night might wake you up as well. Other than that, the go to place.
Overnight transfer stay in Puerto Princesa, I was positively surprised by this beautiful bamboo place. It looks amazing. Many people, yet quiet. Many showers and toilets. Fully equipped kitchen to use with amazing coffee (best in the Philipines and for free!), although the nearby local restaurant serves good food for surprisingly low prices. Hammocks everywhere. Overall good place to stay and to meet some people!

GermanyThe host jonathan was super kind and friendly and the whole place soo nice with lovly details and a lot chill areas and a kitchen. For our taste it was perfect! We really loved the place. You can walk to a beach through the neighbourhood and relax at bamboo nest beach, the second hostle from jonathan :) The beach is not perfect for long swims because the water has low height and many plants and is a bit muddy, but you can walk to a sand bank which was fun and a bit of an advantage. During the night dogs and cats can be loud but for us it was totally worth it!! We booked only one night first but extended to three haha <3
