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.).

CanadaWe booked a private room for 2. They have their private rooms right in front of the party room and kitchen, where it is very loud. Sadly, people in dorms were at the far end of the building and were able to rest better than us.
Close to all the main attractions.

United KingdomNo space to keep your stuff so the dorm floors were chaos. The bird cage seems like an interesting choice of space utilisation. Maybe a couch or two could make the place more comfortable. Water was shut off for a few hours for all toilets/ sinks/ showers - but these things happen and can't be helped!. Tbh despite all the above, I'd still 100% stay again. The vibe of this place is "low-key backpacker" which is refreshing from el nido party & high maintenance vibes.
Brekkie included and location was good. Free drinks for guests for 4 hrs each evening was a good place to meet people without over party hostel vibes. Hostel helped me get my forgotten journal to a friend still around the area & back to me <3

United KingdomFacilities are not great and there’s no space in the rooms for bags so the rooms get very messy. The location is also quite out of the way, with the few restaurants around the hostel quite expensive or a 100 peso tuk tuk to the town.
Free rum and coke in the evenings did make the hostel very sociable, and it was for 4 hours which was quite generous.

FranceThere is nothing to put your clothe in the room, so all the people put the bags on the ground so you can't walk in the room and its not very safe... The position of the hostel is far from El Nido center or other things... It was à little expensive for not so much accommodation... There is a lot of Youth Hostel in the center of El Nido and they are cheaper
I have chose this Hostel because of the Happy Hour, free alcohol between 7 PM to 11PM. It could be Nice to meet the over guest.

GermanySingle room: - price for the single room way too expensive for the standards - very small window so it was dark and I always needed to have the lights on - careful with the wall sockets, I got short in one and it completely destroyed my Apple plug :/ - no shower gel or soap in bathroom - very loud (but I guess like in the most hostels)
5 Stars for the team of young people working there. Lyn in the reception was so lovely and helpful in every situation. So thank you for that. Also they serve a basic breakfast - which was good. I was staying in the private room and am not really a hostel-person so can't really compare a lot. The hostel was very basic and generally had everything what needed. Room was big and clean.

Everywhere was always kept clean and tidy. small individual safes in rooms to keep valuables. free unlimited rum + coke daily from 7-11pm! Meant it was very sociable and games etc were played. Staff were also lovely, laundry service available. Staff also helpful when i got sick with food poisoning and had medicine to hand. It’s about 5 mins on a trike into the main el nido, but there is a beach just behind hostel which is actually nicer than el nido beach and also shops/restaurants around so not much need to go into el nido much!
