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.).

ArgentinaIt is quite expensive compared to other hostels in the island but it is a good value for money considering the quality. Maybe it is not a big social hostel such us others, but still good to meet people
The dorm rooms are perfect, you get a big private space where you can have a great sleep. Facilities are beautiful, the restaurant there has amazing food. Staff are kind

SingaporeThe facilities were immaculate. There’s plenty of hangout spots to interact with other travellers and lounge and relax. The WiFi could be a bit better, though it wasn’t too much of an issue as I really enjoyed my phone-free time. Bathrooms were well-maintained, clean and hot water was almost always available. However, the beds were slightly shorter than usual (anyone over 6ft might find it a squeeze).
The charm of this place really lies with the Happiness team. From the concierge to the restaurant, reception to housekeeping, it’s been nice getting to know all the amazing people working there. They’re true gems on this little island. My heart is full knowing I’ve found a tiny paradise here at Happiness. The staff were always attentive to the guests’ needs, and I felt comfortable and at home. Simple gestures like saying good morning with a smile really made my stay here so much better! The management should be very proud to have such a solid team working the ground, keeping true to the Happiness name. HUGE shoutout to all the amazing people I got to know here: Lohan, Juicy Lucy, Dan, Lynn, Elsie, Gege, Axl, Glaiza, Shen, Doreen, Jelly, Froiland, Jennifer, Gray, Patrick, Jay, Christian, Alex, Bryan, Kyong, Chelsea and everyone else I had the pleasure of interacting with. Love you all and see you soon!

BelgiumThe showers could have been cleaned a bit better sometimes. The yoga was supposed to be 400 pesos but they charges is 550 pesos because it was weekend. This was nowhere written.
The hostel is really nice! The staff is very friendly, especially Chelsy and the guy from the restaurant with longer hair (forgot to ask his name). The hostel has a pool inside, an outside pool accross the road, daily yoga next to the beach, a restaurant where you can get nice coffee and all day food. There is a travel kiosk next door. You can book tours, transfers, rent scooters and surf lessons via this kiosk. I booked my surf lessons here, for 2 hours including a board, they charge you 1200 pesos, which is the same price as everywhere. My teacher his name was Kier and I really recommend you asking for him! He can teach you surfing and skating. He will take you to the nicest spots and give you a lot of advice. He is local so he will spread the local surf vibes on you! The dorms are outstanding! You have a "private" dorm as you can close the dorm with 2 doors. And a little closet in the dorm.

IrelandThere’s nothing I didn’t like
Hands down the nicest hostel I stayed in the Philippines. The staff were so amazing, the food was incredible, the facilities were top class and such an incredible atmosphere. It really didn’t feel like it was a hostel, felt more like a hotel or resort. The staff were so accommodating and so friendly always going on above and beyond for you - Dan, Lucy, Shen, Glaiza, Gegeh, Axel and Lohan - thank you for making my stay so enjoyable☺️

PhilippinesWish we found out about this place sooner! Love how it still felt like I had my own private space despite being in a shared room. Space is very well thought out and the staff were all so accommodating! Also a plus that you get to enjoy the the property across as well (and with discounts) which was very convenient especially with this rainy season—you don't have to go far to have something else to do or a change of scenery. Will definitely come back!!

AustraliaWe had a blast at Happiness Hostel Siargao! 😊 The Double Room with Balcony was spot-on for our 10 nights. Shoutout to the awesome staff - super friendly and accommodating from reception to housekeeping and the restaurant. Great facilities including a shared kitchen, outdoor shower, pool, tours and rentals available - everything you could possibly need 😊 Never a dull moment with so much fun stuff to do. Definitely itching to come back for another round! 🌴✨

BrazilThe pool is a bit useless, since it's small and part of the restaurant, so basically no one uses it. Although the hostel has everything to be social, the crowd was a bit "funny". People were just sitting there on their phone and not connecting/socializing, which is very different vibes from my last time in Siargao or just travelling in general. Another sad thing is that EVERYONE was sick while I was there (including me), some people even needed emergency care after fainting. We don't know what it was, if there was a virus, or the water...although it was not 100% the hostel's fault, i feel like they should warn people to not drink tap water or brush their teeth, or something! They did put alcohol in some shared areas though.
The rooms are amazing, giving you privacy and space to organize your things. The toilet and shower were plenty with lots of space, making it so convenient. The hostel overall is clean and it looks cool. The restaurant was good as well.

CanadaThe bathrooms could be cleaner. I saw them being cleaned, but they always smelled a little bit. Also not much of a social vibe in the hostel. Lots of digital nomads staying there and working, but was a little difficult to meet people.
Such a beautiful space! The hostel itself feels cozy and new, and there are lots of bars and restaurants attached (all super good!). There are also plenty of events going on during the week! The dorms themselves are very cool. It's more like a capsule hotel than a traditional hostel dorm!

UruguayWe stayed in a double room. It was very pretty. We had a problem with the room but the staff and the manager resolved it very well (thinking about our benefit) so that's the important thing. The facilities are new, the location is excellent. We rent a motorcycle with them. The bar and the two restaurants have a 10% discount for guests and there are also games and happy ours. We loved it.

New ZealandNot the most social hostel i've stayed in. There is a pretty good bar but it is often full with people who aren't staying in the hostel and as a solo traveller i didn't find it the easiest place to meet people.

there is complete privacy in the personal bed with the wooden sliding door per bed!! and it's so spacious that i can even open my check-in luggage next to my bed (inside the sliding door), there is a personal fan to help with circulation and dry my clothes. and there is a closet as well next to the bed. I love these considerate setups! apart from that, the lobby is comfy, and the Halloween party is the busiest all over the town! suddenly turned the whole place into a professional club! impressive! In addition, they offer daily yoga class in the morning at their resort across the street. the yoga place is literally in front of the ocean, very soothing!
