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):
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.).

BelgiumThe water of the shower is just one temperature. You can not choice your heat.
Very kind staff! Motorcycle rent is Possible for 350 php for 24 hours.. You can easily ask the busdriver (from Cebu to Moalboal) to drop you off at the hostel, because it’s on his way. Breakfast was good and plenty of choice. It’s a hostel but with own toilet and shower! Both are seperate rooms

GermanyRoom was small but suficiente for us. The location was directly next to the main street, so it was a bit noisy during the night.
The staff was super friendly and helped us with renting a motorbike. For breakfast you could choose between different tasty dishes. Wifi was good.

CanadaThe only thing that disappointed me is the fact that there was no hot water in the shower. Obviously, this is a hot climate, so it's not the end of the world, but generally, hot water is an expectation I have as a traveller.
The most amazing thing about this place is Beverly, the person who manages it. She is friendly, easygoing, and extremely helpful. Even if this place was crap (which it isn't), I'd struggle to give it a bad rating because of how wonderful she is.

NetherlandsLike everyone mentioned the place is next to a road and not isolated very well. As a light sleeper I managed to sleep fine with earplugs, as the roads are pretty quiet at night. They did wake me up in the morning but just in time for breakfast.
The staff was really friendly and waited for us until quite late so we could check in after a long bus drive.

MaltaThe staff were very friendly and guided us on a number of issues (e.g. how to get a bus to Bato). We also rented a scooter from the reception. Breakfast was included. We got our bottles topped up with water every time we asked - which was great! The room was clean and quite spacious for the price we paid. The location is close to the main shopping mall and jollibees. It is a 10min tricycle ride to panagsama beach.

United KingdomThere isn’t much facilities but for the price you can’t complain! For us this wasn’t an issue though as we spent our days out and about.
We really enjoyed our stay at LR Hostel and Cafe. It’s a little spot about a ten minute tuk tuk/scooter ride from the main tourist spot in Basdiot. The staff were lovely and attentive, evening moving our washing round with the sun. Breakfast was cooked fresh every morning with a good menu and choice. The bed was clean and comfortable. The shower had hot running water.

United KingdomShower head needs attention, it was somewhat clogged so the water only came out in a couple of places.
Our lady host was so friendly and helpful. Good selection for breakfast which you order the night before. We had a constant supply of water refils which was very much appreciated. Bike rental available with full tank to start with! Basic, small and clean room. Comfy mattress and some hanging space. Air con, Cold shower which is not my favourite but fine for a couple of nights. Separate shower and loo. Fairly busy road as well but we slept fine. Our host helped us flag down the bus for our onward journey across the road from the hostel which saved us a hot walk to the centre. Quite a distance away from Panagsama Beach but tricycles readily available.

IrelandThe walls were thin resulting in us hearing a lot of what was going on outside our room. When going to bed, we could unfortunately hear rats in the ceiling. While the rooms were very clean, this made sleeping a bit uncomfortable.
The hostess was lovely and very welcoming. We enjoyed the breakfast option in the mornings. She was super helpful in making sure we got the correct bus for our trip south of the island.

United KingdomEnjoyed everything however a few things to be aware of is there were ants in our room but it's out in nature so what do you expect and is next to a busy road so may disrupt your sleep if your a light sleeper.. Don't let this be a factor in giving this wonderful host a bad review as for the price there's nothing she can do about it!
Amazing hostess you made you feel welcome and would do anything for you the rooms were basic with a separate shower to the toilet which is great a little in the middle of nowhere but you can rent decent bikes for a good price and about a 10 minute drive to the main area with restaurants and bars would deffinately come back again! Aircon was really good too we got cold
