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 KingdomLocation could be closer but close enough to walk to what you want to get to. Neighbours are a bit noisy with the roosters and karaoke but you have complimentary earplugs to sort that out.
Fantastic hostel, great staff very helpful and very thoughtful throughout the stay, breakfast was lovely. Best coffee I have had so far for breakfast as normally instant.

This hostel was the cleanest hostel we have ever stayed in. The facilities were fantastic, they offered things that no other hostel has offered us before eg free shuttle bus into the town or the beach, beach towels, hair conditioner etc. It was a really comfortable and chilled place to be with a small kitchen, hammocks, rooftop terrace and a separate smoking area. The rooms were cosy and clean with comfortable beds, curtains, a shelf and a personal light and plug socket. The staff were so friendly and helpful. There’s also a fantastic bagel place just next to the hostel which I would also recommend.

United Arab EmiratesNothing at all. The Taiwanese owner really did a great job on the place, and he does hands own to improve it.
This hostel is by far the bestest in Cebu I have ever found. Clean, quiet and very very safe. The staff are super friendly. It just walking distance to the center of Panagsama beach that even I walk alone as a female at night is very safe (past 10PMish). There is also a very lovely french bakeshop / cafe in the front that serves really great food and beverages. Plus next to the hostel entrance is a lovely artisan couple (filipina wife and american husband) that bake bagels - FRESH bagels every morning and other bread!

FranceIt's very minor, but the laundry that the hostel recommended charges per load and not by kilo. It means that if, like me, you have a small bag of laundry, you will pay the full price anyway. It's better to go with other people or to select a laundry that charges per kilo.
This is a very beautiful hostel. The rooms, the shared spaces, the garden, are very nice, clean (like, sparkling clean) and well decorated. The staff is professional and super nice. They will always help you. The hostel is located between the main town of Moalboal and Panagsama beach. Each place takes 20 mn walk to reach. But they have a free shuttle that can take you there during the day : very helpful ! It's a chill hostel and definitely not a party hostel. You will be able to rest and relax. I was surprised to see so few people in the common spaces, during the day and the evening. I was able to meet other travelers anyway, but sometimes it felt a bit empty (even though the hostel was fully booked). So, if you're looking for an affordable and quiet place in Moalboal, this hostel is perfect. I actually booked an other night there.

IndiaThe rooms are just a bit tiny. So managing your backpack and the stuff in it without disturbing others in the dorm is a bit of a task. Need an adaptor for my phone charger. They only have the flat thin dual plug.
Everything was great. Super clean. Friendly staff. It's walkable to the bars and the eateries close to the beach. Yet far away from the chaos.

ItalyWas fully booked and I couldn't extend.
Loved it. Was unsure about location at first, but it's actually perfect, it's a 15min walk from the bars and during the day they have a shuttle that takes you both to town and to the bars. So you don't need to pay for taxis. Facilities are great and very chilled vibe.

Hospitable, friendly and smiling staff always there to answer questions or help to arrange tour. Cleanliness of the hostel, bathroom, common area... Nice room with privacy curtains and 2 lockers (one outside : really big one and another one in the room : deep one too). Kitchen if you want to cook your own meal. Nice common area where it's easy to meet and talk to people + rooftop and games available. Finally, and it's a big benefit : free shuttle every hour from/to Panagsama and from/to town. Definitely one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at !Thanks for everything !!

PhilippinesNone. The free shuttle compensated from its distance from other tourist establishments in the area.
Hostel was VERY (emphasis intended) clean and has just about any amenity you would need in its bathrooms and common areas. The free shuttle was a big plus as it can conveniently take us to Panagsama beach or pick us up and drop us off at the bus station by the main road. They even agreed to pick up my laundry from a nearby laundromat at no additional expense.

FinlandStaff was so friendly, they took good care of us! They offered free rides to certain places and thats was more than we expected. Hostel has so many good things, just to mention few of them that makes you feel better there: toilet paper wasnt the same cheap that every other hostel offers, they offer free earplugs and really nice kitchen area, more over they give you beach towel so you dont need to use the same towel! Dont hesitate to stay here, even its not the closest one to beach, they will ride you there for free!
