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.).

Very cozy place! The female dorm was clean and cozy with lots of space for guests. Common areas were clean and available. Restaurant had good food. Location is a few minutes walk to the Back Beach or Bulabog Beach, so it's a solid place to stay. The HOHO Bus will also stop at the area so easily accessible.

They don't have a kitchen, no microwave to use, and no social activities like other hostel because of which i dint find any of the guest interacting with each other . If you like a quite hostel than its best place to stay.
The hostel is located in quite area, 5 mins walk away from the back beach and 15mins walk from the DM mall which is center for shopping , Restaurants ,bar and station 2 beach entrance .

The breakfast - the toast weren’t even toasted and I was getting ripped off for the what you get. Better off going to a neighbouring hostel, which is what’s I ended up doing to get breakfast or going into where the area where restaurants are. A lot of people smoke here… there could be a specific smoke only area and smoke FREE area - especially for me since I’m an asthmatic!
Amazingggg! The volunteering Filipino and foreign staff were all super friendly and helpful, as well as arranging for things to do the following days which was a big plus! Rooms were clean and comfortable. The social space is very nice too - allows for people to hang out in the evenings to talk, play card games or just relax in the presence of others! Very quiet after 10-11pm too so everyone can get sleep!

Very social atmosphere with the ability to find quiet space if you wanted it. Shout out to Emma who really made me feel welcome and was really friendly! Hostel is also in a great location, close to the beach and other nightlife.

I didn't like that it seems they are not cleaning the bean bag, it looks dirty. i didn't like that one time i was told that the cook will be there at around 7am.. then 8am.. but i ended up having to walk away (and find a different place to eat) bec its already 830am and no one even bothered to tell me that the cook is still not there. i would have moved on to another place to eat (sooner) instead of waiting that long.
i like the free drinking water. the sheets seems to be clean enough and also the ac in the room working properly. overall the property seems to be clean (except for the bean bags) i like also that their lockers are big enough for a lot of personal stuff and/or valuables. i like the restroom/bathroom is literally near the room and its being cleaned regularly plus the toilet tissue is always being refilled or the replacement tissue is already there on stand by.

Chill Out Hostel is a very ordinary budget place to stay but the staffs kept it more like a homely one. I stayed for a night in a single room at 2nd floor with no view. The floor had 2 other rooms but only one shared bathroom. Room was clean. Bed was comfy, AC was super. Bathroom was clean and had bath gel and shampoo but there was no lebel on them; so it was kinda hard to understand what i am using. WiFi was good too. One policy i liked most is silence from 11pm to 8am. That ensured a great sleep for me. Front desk helped me to get room by 1pm. Also helped me to get sunset sparrow sailing only at Peso 800. They often arrange games and activities for the boarders that help them to get along. Loosing the key will charge you Peso 500 🙁. Restaurant food was OK and as a boarder you will get 10% discount on food only. Location is good. Only 2/3 mins walk to Bulabog Beach which is hub spot for water activities. Besides it is 7/8 mins walk from D’mall- the market and food place. Crossing D’mall you will get white sand beach.
