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.).

AustraliaOne staff member tried to convince me I needed a private car although I later found out it was easy to get the bus. Tours through the hostel were more expensive than those we found on offer in the town.
Well priced breakfast, lots of fruit available. Very quick to order and receive the food. Hostel was incredibly clean. Shuttle service was very convenient. Staff were very helpful when I asked how to get the bus back to Cebu City. Dorms were well air-conditioned and although small were still very private and comfy. Bedside locker was massive and fit all my things although my bag went in the big locker outside. Very quiet and relaxing.

CanadaLots to do in the town so no one really stayed in the common areas unfortunately. Their sister dive center was just ok. Nothing special.
One of the nicest hostels I've ever stayed in! Seems to be brand new. Staff were great and could arrange everything for you including transportation and excursions. About 15-20 min walk from sardine area, or you can take their free shuttle.

United StatesIt was not a social hostel at all. It would be nice if there were events or other things to encourage guests to socialize, since it was pretty lonely as a solo traveler here. Also, as mentioned, the 6 bed dorm was pretty cramped. There wasn’t anywhere in the room to put bags, so they had to be kept in lockers outside.
The staff were amazing! Jeleen and Carl were so kind and helpful throughout the whole stay. The property was clean and comfortable, with a nice shared kitchen and good water pressure in the showers. The room was pretty cramped, but had strong AC and there was lots of open space to chill outside. The beds had lots of space and good privacy curtains.

CanadaEverything was incredible. Though we aren’t usually the biggest hostel people this place was so highly rated and affordable for the area that we went for it and i’m so glad we did. There were so many great perks like the free shuttle every hour to the beach, the amazing restobar with amazing breakfast and dinner and the complimentary beach towels and water. The beds were soooo comfy and soft. Above all the best part was the amazing staff who went above and beyond to make sure their guests are having a good time, You can easily message the hostel on Whatsapp for any questions and they are super quick to respond and always with a smile. Thank you so so much!

United KingdomThe distance to the main town was about a 15/20 minute walk. This wasn’t an issue for us but might be for others. The regular shuttle into the town was great though. This stops at 7pm
Staff were very attentive. Constantly cleaning all the different areas including toilets and showers which were spotless. The shuttle down to the beach and the bus stations were great. They helped arrange the tours and were all round great.

The staff went above and beyond to make our stay amazing. They were so friendly and organised with the shuttle service etc. they had breakfast ready to take away on the days we had to leave early. Beach towels are free and can be changed daily which was a nice touch. Shuttle service is excellent and really helpful. We booked the canyoneering though them and had the most amazing time with the best guides. Can’t fault anything, would stay again in a heartbeat. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

United StatesThe staff assigned a family of 5 to share a 6-bed dorm with me which included small children. They were incredibly noisy and kept me up late every night during the length of their stay. I would suggest practicing more mindfulness when assigning underage children to shared spaces. Not a huge deal and I would still recommend this hostel.
The Hostel Nicely designed hostel with a great layout. Rooftop seating and restaurant are quite nice. Dorm rooms are small, but functional. Large lockers outside the room with a small built-in locker inside your bunk for added storage (lock and key provided). Everything is nearly new, clean and in good condition. Air conditioner works well and showers provided strong water pressure and warm water. The Stay The beds were very comfortable and the hostel is relatively quiet. Location is good and about a 10-minute walk from the beach, bars, restaurants and diving/snorkeling activities. French bakery across the street is excellent. You also have the option to book tour packages directly through the hostel. They have a few dogs on the grounds that are friendly and harmless. The Service The staff is very kind and helpful. They were always available to provide support and facilitate transfers and tours as needed. They even provide a free shuttle to the town centre multiple times a day (schedule is posted at the main entrance).

United StatesIt is a bit far from the beach, maybe a 15-20 minute walk. I personally don't mind the walk, and they have a free shuttle that leaves often to take you to the beach and back. It's also not a party hostel and was a bit quiet in the social aspect, but I was still able to make a couple friends with the people in my room. Also, the shared room I was staying in was quite small, but I didn't find this to be an issue. Our bags were kept outside in a locker, which was actually nicer because you wouldn't wake people up to get anything.
Like other reviewers mentioned, the place truly was so clean! The bathrooms actually smelled nice, if anything. A nice little bonus was the spin dryer and clothing lines, along with the two dogs roaming the property. The staff were always so friendly and nice. I got stung by jellyfish and went up to the front desk to ask them for help, and before I could even get a word out the woman at the front desk noticed the sting and immediately came to help me! The French bakery across the street and bagel shop right next door were also definite perks. Overall, it was a nice quiet place to stay!

GreeceIn one word, excellent!!! Very clean and well maintained facilities! The staff was very welcoming and helpful at all times! Breakfast was included in our room booking and it was well prepared and adequate (if not, there is a very good french café just opposite the hostel). Drinkable water was available. It is located a 15-min walk from bustling Moalboal center, which was much preferable in our case. The hostel has a free shuttle bus to/from center, but they can also arrange a tricycle to pick you up. The security guard and the monitoring of the common areas also made us feel safer. Thank you guys! ✨🙏🏼
