How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewthe staffs are very friendly and they will accommodate you will all your questions regarding the island and the hostel itself. the owner is very active on making all of the guest happy with their stay. they have a designated working space for working / studying.
the location doesnt have any signals from globe telco on my end. they dont have any hot water on the shower. so on my end because i didnt come on the summer months. I needed the hot shower cause its raining most of the time(my fault on the date of booking) but I thinks its more of a future improvement since if they could have the capability to improve.

Verified reviewThe bed was very comfy and the linen extremely clean and good quality. The breakfast was included and is very good - they’ve a lot of choice on the menu. Overall it’s a relaxed vibe and staff were lovely. It’s in a quiet area between two beaches. Location wise it’s about 20 mins from the port. You can walk to the larger Santiago bay beach which has a good range of food options. You do need a bike if you want to explore the island (can rent one at the hostel rented one for 400php a day. There was a couple of lovely friendly polite dogs who I really liked seeing around the place too.
Booked rooms without air con and the heat was unbearable as the rooms are small (It was my own fault for not noticing this when I booked).

Verified reviewThe place was convenient, friendly, comfortable and clean! Food, staff, everything was great, and the distant to Santiago beach was great too.
The space around/Infront of the hotel needs tidying up. It's a bit bare and rocky and untidy! That's my only TINY complaint.

It didn't supply toilet paper. No hot water. But still a good place for the price.
Thank you, Thomas, for your warm feedback. Toilet paper can be requested unlimited your entire stay when you run out.

Verified reviewNew and clean facility. Nice and helpful staff. Very close to the beach.
Didn't know that their restaurant became a bar lounge / disco at night. The music was too loud and went on well into midnight. It can be heard inside the rooms (both with ac and without ac). It was really hard to sleep with that going on. The room without ac had a stale damp smell and needed proper air circulation.
Hi Ralph, it was nice having your group. The nightlife only started two 2weeks ago on weekends. We are still working on how to manage it. As we have lots of younger travellers and young guests that didn’t mind and are looking for something fun to do during the weekends. Rest assured that our weekdays are still fun but without the loud music until we find a way to fix it. Our idea is to give away earplugs. Or join the fun! The fan rooms we only get 340 peso per night after all the booking commissions and breakfast. It's not even worth running it, but it seems there are people with very minimal budgets that prefer affordable rooms as long as it is comfortable and with proper bathrooms. Hence, we kept it open when our AC rooms were fully booked. Thank you!!

Verified reviewThe staff was very nice and provided me with everything I needed. Good breakfast. The food at the restaurant was delicious. The bed was big.
In the dorm we could listen to all the noise from the bathroom. Tiny room and no space for the backpack.
