Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score 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’re currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil, and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Everything! From the helpful staff to the guest house itself. The space is the same as advertised. Laundry service is free regardless of the weight. There's hot and cold shower. The location is ideal. It's near UV and USC so finding where to eat is easy. Transpo is easy as well. The room is airconditioned with curtain for privacy, towel, 2 pillows and comforter. Internet is fast as well

ItalySometimes there was hair everywhere on the floor. There is not a proper common area but since it’s only a few people you can almost always find an available seat at the print shop/reception. The location is a bit dodgy but it’s Cebu city so I guess it’s like that everywhere you go.
Very small hostel with just one dorm with 6 beds. Water refill. Very nice and available staff.

Philippines1. Safe and Secure – password-entry door locks for main door and room door. Designated lockers so you can place your stuff when you leave. I just left mine on the bed and there was no problem since my roommates were honest and just minded their own space. 2. Kind Staff – warm and accomodating staff. There was one night I went back at around 12 mn and they stayed up to open the main door for me. 3. Clean and Comfortable Room – soft matress with duvet, airconditioned room, roommates were also very quiet and respectful so I slept peacefully. 4. Near Malls and Restaurants – There's a carinderia beside the place, and just a 2 min walk to the nearest mall (Metro Colon) that has a Ribshack. There are also other restaurants that are just in walking distance. 5. Clean Bathroom – separate toilet and bath area, strong water pressure, with hot and cold shower 6. Free Stuff and Other Amenities – There's a print/xerox/copy station upon entry so it's really convenient for students like me who's in Cebu to process documents. They also have gcash/maya cash-in over-the-counter. Free laundry service, and folded clothes are returned every 10 pm. Free hot and cold water inside the room. Hair dryer and clothes iron inside the room for common use. During my last day there, they gave out free bath soap, laundry soap, and napkins for those who needed any.

United States of AmericaNo common area to hang around, but that's fine if you just stay for 1-2 nights.
The bed is so comfy! Staff is really friendly and helpful and the vanity and water dispenser in the room add a nice touch. Except for some street noises it is quite quiet and perfect if you need a place to rest.

ColombiaWhen I asked the staff about the tours they told me it was better to buy when I come and there is actually no place to book them so just make sure to book online before getting to the hostel. Bathroom doesn't have shampoo or soap so make sure to bring your own, AC only in the room.
Location is pretty close to the Pier 1, I went walking, a lot of local places to eat and you get a towel. They provide a locker with a key which is very convenient. I was able to check in at noon and take a shower.

Comfortable bed, clean room, good facilities, friendly staff, great location near shopping areas, markets, coffee shops, restaurants, in walking distance to many highlight places i.e. museums, ports, etc. and what's out of my expectation is free unlimited laundry service.

United States of AmericaOnly problem was the water was running very weak so it made our shower difficult.
We only stayed here one night but we already made plans to come back next time we pass through Puerto Princessa. The staff is so friendly and helpful, they helped us book transportation and connected us with other travelers who are doing similar tourist activities as us. The condo was spacious. It was so nice to have a bedroom for once, especially as a budget traveler. The restaurant has yummy pizzas, the pool is beautiful and the outside common area has a great vibe.

PhilippinesThe area outside the room can be improved liek a common area if you want to sit and not staying in your bed. The walls inside the bathroom can also be used for adding more areas to put your clothes.
Great staff. Located near Super Metro mall. Free laundry is vey helpful and it saves me time. The area is near some food establishments, like Julies bakery, local Korean food stop, street foods, carinderias.

SingaporeNothing much really.
I like that this is actually a female dorm house with one 6 bedder dorm room on the second floor, and a double room at the ground level. As I was staying in this accoms with my male partner, we stayed at the ground level - you can see how safe and secure this would feel for a solo budget female traveller. They also provide free laundry service, and location is very ideal near Colon street, within walking distance to most attractions within Cebu City. The double room has Netflix for times when you don't feel like battling Cebu dust, noise and heat. Perfect, I should say, for budget travellers looking for somewhere convenient.

ItalyAircon was a bit noisy and Internet was not working super well. We stayed in a Deluxe Queen Studio and it did not have any outside view.
Location and price are the best things of this place. Hotel is located close to the port where you get the ferry to Bohol and Siquijor and to the main attractions in Cebu. The price is very cheap. Room is very very simple, but clean. Staff is nice and helpful. Works well for a one night stay in Cebu, when you don't want to spend much.
