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 reviewReally clean, good facilities, you have access to an outdoor kitchen in case you want to cook. There is a bar. Bed was really comfy and I liked the set up, you had a big locker in the room and a small locker in your bed area. Really quiet which I enjoyed.
It’s 15 min walk from the beach, not the end of the world if you have a scooter or don’t mind the walk.

Verified reviewPig dive hostel was amazing - very clean and comfy beds. We loved that the lockers for the rooms were outside which meant there was less noise in the dorm rooms. The whole property was really clean, with fresh towels. They also did a bus to and from the beach making it really easy to get around Moalboal. I would highly recommend

Verified reviewThe staff were great. I booked everything through them and it just made it so much easier. Get a scooter through them as the main restaurants are about 1km away
It was quiet when I was there, but all of moalboal was like this.

Verified reviewStaff were helpful and tours could be arranged at the hostel. There is a nice bakery next door and coffee shop over the road.
The hostel didn’t offer any social activities or have an inviting social space; there could be much better options for social travellers in Moalboal.

Verified reviewThe hostel was very clean and quiet. It is a little bit outside of the mainroad where most restaurants are but therefore it is very quiet. And they offer a shuttle service during the day. To walk it is only about 20 min. There was a locker to putz the luggage. The hostel gives free towels also for the beach and soap.

Verified reviewFar enough out of town to be quiet at night, close enough to restaurants. Also appreciate the hourly shuttle to the beach. Nice outdoor spaces, the rooftop is a great place to kick back after the day!
Hourly shuttles at scheduled times can make it hard to get to/from scheduled activities in town (ex: diving) if they don't line up with the schedule (you might need to rent a scooter or take a tuktuk). Also the kitchen area is extremely basic (very small fridge).
