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, 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, 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.).

PhilippinesAC can improve but if you have a low cold tolerance like me - it is already sufficient. Great place to stay during Off Peak Season. For sure it will be on full capacity during summertime.
Room Very Spacious, the inn is private & quiet, WIFI excellent, the bed & toilet area is spotless, staff is very helpful & friendly. AC can improve more & no problem with numerous wall plugs for your gadgets and also Outdoor Showers & CR available. If you are on a budget they also have Dorm Options. Over-All Experience of stay is commendable!

AustriaBest staff, great atmosphere, nice breakfast! Perfect hostel with really great diving opportunities and amazing staff! In the evening the bar is really nice (and good price) but not opened too long (around 10pm), so you can enjoy some beers or cocktails but also get your sleep. If you want to keep on partying, just walk 3 min to the pubs. We'll definitely come back!

AustraliaMy Aircon was a little sluggish but it worked in the end and I had a great nights stay :)
This was my first place I stayed in the Philippines and I absolutely loved it. I was pretty cranky when I arrived from my day off travel, but they had decked out my room with flowers for my birthday. It was so beautiful. They helped me with my onward journeys and also recommended things to do whilst in town. I booked my Kawasan tour directly with them and it was three best day ever. Thanks so much guys I told everyone in the Philippines how great you were :)

AustraliaThe hot water system in our shower was very difficult to use, and there wasn't much water pressure - but not a major issue, as the weather was so hot that a cold shower was honestly so refreshing.
We stayed in one of the private rooms with our own bathroom. The room was basic but clean, and had everything we needed. The staff were so nice and helped us with everything we needed. We were able to rent a motorbike from the hostel which made it much easier to get around. The hostel offers drinks and some basic food (drinks were super cheap!) and there are also heaps of great restaurants nearby. The common area has hammocks and beanbags, with some card games provided. Overall the place had a very homely feel, and we would happily come back to stay again.

CanadaOnly 1 toilet and 1 shower for the 12 guest + staff to use. A line can form very easily during peak times. Having two toilets would be really beneficial as if anything happens to the one it would be a major issue. Or if someone desperately needs to use the facilities, they're out of luck until the 1 toilet is unoccupied.
Great location and comfortable beds. The dorm room is very large so it does not feel crowded. Bed has curtains for privacy.

United KingdomThe only minus for me was there is only toilet for the whole place. That gets tricky when the dorm is full because at night and early in the morning you end up waiting, which is a problem if you are sick, on your period or desperate for a poo:)
I felt at home at this simple, relaxed beach hostel. The one large dorm was decent. Beds have a privacy curtain, socket and basic plug-in light. There was a nice hammock area to chill out in and I spent a whole day there reading and hanging out. The owners also bought bean bags so those are there now! Staff were really nice and friendly, as were the owners. They made me feel at home. The location was really good - a couple of minutes from all the food places and dive shops, and 5-10 minutes on foot from Pangasama beach.
