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.).

MaltaThe staff were very friendly and guided us on a number of issues (e.g. how to get a bus to Bato). We also rented a scooter from the reception. Breakfast was included. We got our bottles topped up with water every time we asked - which was great! The room was clean and quite spacious for the price we paid. The location is close to the main shopping mall and jollibees. It is a 10min tricycle ride to panagsama beach.

United KingdomThere isn’t much facilities but for the price you can’t complain! For us this wasn’t an issue though as we spent our days out and about.
We really enjoyed our stay at LR Hostel and Cafe. It’s a little spot about a ten minute tuk tuk/scooter ride from the main tourist spot in Basdiot. The staff were lovely and attentive, evening moving our washing round with the sun. Breakfast was cooked fresh every morning with a good menu and choice. The bed was clean and comfortable. The shower had hot running water.

United KingdomShower head needs attention, it was somewhat clogged so the water only came out in a couple of places.
Our lady host was so friendly and helpful. Good selection for breakfast which you order the night before. We had a constant supply of water refils which was very much appreciated. Bike rental available with full tank to start with! Basic, small and clean room. Comfy mattress and some hanging space. Air con, Cold shower which is not my favourite but fine for a couple of nights. Separate shower and loo. Fairly busy road as well but we slept fine. Our host helped us flag down the bus for our onward journey across the road from the hostel which saved us a hot walk to the centre. Quite a distance away from Panagsama Beach but tricycles readily available.

IrelandThe walls were thin resulting in us hearing a lot of what was going on outside our room. When going to bed, we could unfortunately hear rats in the ceiling. While the rooms were very clean, this made sleeping a bit uncomfortable.
The hostess was lovely and very welcoming. We enjoyed the breakfast option in the mornings. She was super helpful in making sure we got the correct bus for our trip south of the island.

BelgiumA bit far from the busy touristy side of Moalboal but can be overcome by renting a motorcycle or taking a cab.
Great stay at this hostel and right where the bus picks you up and drops you off. Owner was super kind, and showed here kick-ass cooking skills both at breakfast and diner. Prices of drinks and food are also great for the quality you receive. We also rented a motorcycle which went without any issues (and bike was great). Really great value deal.

SpainJust to say something; room was fine but there are no stands to place your stuff, just some hangers; though this seems to be a standard in Phillipines.
Quality - price relation insuperable. Staff is very helpful and kind, she helped us a lot. Room was well equiped; aircon, wifi and hot water in shower worked perfectly all 3night we stayed. Also have a line outside for your wet clothes, as well as a table and chairs to chill at night. Breakfast was good, you can choose among some filipino and western dishes. Location is aprox 4km away from Paragsama beach (not a deal if ride a mbike, but it will cost you 150php to get there by tricycle) but 2min walking you have a mall with a good supermarket, and a various food options (local carinderias, also McDonald's and some tourist focused rest at walking distance)

SingaporeThere was a trail of ants coming from the toilet, to out of the door into the yard. It was from a hole in the toilet wall. Not too sure if I missed the heater, but showered with cold water everyday, good for the hot weather. You could hear animals walking on the ceiling at night, and it scared me initially, but it's alright. It is far from the beaches, better to rent your own scooter. If not, it's real easy to get a ride.
Breakfast was great! Facilities (toilet/ shower) were good. The aircon was strong. Bed was good enough. Rather spacious, sufficient hangers. Even though it's beside the main road, you can't hear the traffic. And being beside the main road means it's really easy to take the bus.

SpainThe location is a bit far from the beach where you swim with sardines etc, but we had a motobike , so it was not an issue. Note that if you stay for more than 1 day in Moalboal you need a moto anyway to move around. The place can be a bit noisy, it seemed though that everywhere is like that and we usually sleep with earplugs anyway.
The hostel offers an amazing value for money-you get your own room, private bathroom,AC and super nice breakfast. It was very clean and looked a bit bigger than it’s on the pictures. We have got the moto from there for almost half the price than it’s in Moalboal. The owner was very nice -offered good breakfast considering our preferences and generally very friendly ☺️ Thank you so much!
