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.).

United KingdomSo unique! Beds were incredibly comfy, the social space was fantastic and I really felt at home. The free breakfast was brilliant, as was the family dinner cooked every night - 100% vegetarian and only 150 pesos per head! they also arranged a sunrise walk to the Chocolate Hills every morning for those interested. Staff were amazing and I was genuinely so sad to leave! Thank you so much for such an amazing stay!

AustriaIn the morning there are some loud noises, but it’s not bad and they tell you in advance. Everything is sort of open so animals will get into your room, which isn‘t a problem for us. Unfortunately I got scratched by a cat during the night while sleeping.
Free Breakfast and amazing vegan dinner for only 150 per person. The owner is so nice and welcoming and the garden of the hostel is beautiful! You can rent scooters there for 500p. Overall it was a great stay we would come again!

United KingdomRene is an absolutely wonderful woman. If you're veggie you should definitely stay here. Rene makes the absolute best veggie dinner every evening, breakfast is also lovely. She even made us lunch when we arrived. The dogs are awesome. Such a beautiful little hostel. She will also help you plan your days and take you on a sunrise walk just 20 mins from the hostel. Thank you Rene!

BrazilThe only reason i don’t give it a 10 is because it’s in a very secluded place, so you’re kind of forced to rent a scooter, unless you won’t see any of the turistic attractions around
This hostel’s vibe is simply amazing. You’re in the middle of nowhere sleeping under the stars. They offer a delicious breakfast included in the price you pay and also if you want a delicious veggie dinner for only 150 pesos all you can eat. I really loved this place

We loved our stay in Bohol Hammock Hostel! - it was clean and beds were very comfortable - there were mosquito nets for each bed - very calm and quite place - we could see fireflies in their garden at night - they rent motorbikes (which are almost new) - food was delicious! - the host is very helpful and gave us many tips on things to visit and see in Bohol - we could do a 15min walk to a chocolate hill to see the sunrise (or sunset)

United KingdomThe friendliest, most accommodating staff who were always so happy to help and give lots of tips for exploring Bohol. The vegan family dinner and breakfast was exceptional. This hostel is the perfect place to meet other travellers and stay in the middle of beautiful scenery. The chocolate hills are a short walk from the hostel and the hostel owner takes you to the foot of the hills for sunrise each morning if you wish to.

GermanyOne of the most beautiful accommodations of my trip so far. Surrounded by a large garden that invites you to relax, you can really enjoy it here. An outdoor kitchen and the nearby market give you the opportunity to even cook yourself. The owner is super friendly and you feel like you are at home here. If you rent a Scootet, you can explore the whole island thanks to the central location. Had originally booked for 2 nights, but then extended for a few more nights. If I come to Bohol again, I know where to go.

United KingdomThe only thing we didn’t particularly enjoy was the cats laying on our beds as we slept. However this wasn’t a surprise as the hostel has an open air plan.
The overall feeling of the hostel was very welcoming and warm, we even spoke to another person staying and they agreed with us! The hostel offers a family meal for 200PHP. This was absolutely delicious and very filling! We understand that the layout of this hostel may not be everyone’s cup of tea however we wish we had stayed longer. It was very peaceful and a great location if you are looking to visit the chocolate hills.

United KingdomThere was supposed to be a sunrise walk (subject to weather) and we got up at 5.15am but no one arrived which was annoying as we missed the chance on our only night. It wasn’t suitable to go venturing off in the dark so went back to bed disappointed. The weather had been raining overnight but was clear so not sure why it didn’t happen. Maybe just double check with them before bed.
Lovely vibe, clean and quirky. Upstairs sleeping area was cool and the mosquito nets were a nice touch. You will get lots of wildlife noise , but also local dogs howling which might keep you awake. Food in the evening was excellent!!

This was one of the most social hostels I’ve stayed in. It is a quiet but phenomenal atmosphere. The hostel has been done so nicely. The food is some of the best food I have tried with dinner offered and breakfast included. Renee herself is absolutely wonderful. Herself and her staff go above and beyond to be helpful and makes your stay in Bohol amazing. would definitely recommend
