Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

PhilippinesHappiness Hostel in Siargao is an excellent choice for solo travelers. It’s clean, well-maintained, and offers an affordable stay without compromising comfort. The social vibe makes it easy to meet new people, and the location is convenient for exploring the island. Highly recommended for budget-friendly and community-oriented travel. Will definitely go back!

United KingdomThe shutters on the doors were very loud so it was hard not to wake people up. The beds were thin and hard and the pillows weren’t great. Toilets and showers could be better maintained, often a lot of rubbish in the shower and not enough toilet roll. Swimming pool (across the road) was quite dirty and had a lot of bugs in it.
We were expecting amazing things from this hostel from what we had seen online, but it didn’t quite live up to expectations. The dorms were nice and clean and the restaurant area is nice, but there’s not much of a communal area. The staff were very friendly and helpful when we asked to switch rooms due to loud and rude people in our dorm.

United Kingdom- a bit overrated and pricey but a nice stay - couple of times the bathroom was horrid in the morning before the cleaner came, made me not want to use the bathrooms. Dirty shoe marks, toilet roll and random crap all over the floor - bit far from the main part town or the surf area, you have to get a tuktuk or a bit of a walk
- I liked the rooms and that there were shutters from privacy

United KingdomWe rented a moto from the hotel/hostel and unfortunately the breaks were damaged. We returned it and asked to swap. They swapped it very reluctantly and tried to charge us for petrol (with no apology it was dangerous to ride). The replacement bike then had a slow puncture in the rear wheel and was unridable. Again, we returned it and asked for a refund for the remaining time we had rented it for as both bikes were unsafe. They made this process very difficult and it was just overall not a pleasant experience, especially as we were guests of the hotel for many nights. Left a sour taste in our mouths…

PhilippinesFootwear shouldn’t be allowed inside the room that should be a policy coz the streets and roads in Siargao aren’t litter free. Sometimes its stuck in the soles of the shoes. There are also time when the shoes of some guests are smelly. Its not hygienic to bring footwear inside the room.
Beds were spacious. Theres a good space for guests to hang out and relax. The T &B were okey. Staff were nice, friendly and attentive.

MaltaDistance to town is a 20min walk or a 5 minute cheap TukTuk ride so not really an issue.
The private rooms are really beautiful, spacious, clean and comfortable. Had the best sleep ever! The staff are also very kind and helpful. There are always different activities every night helping people to socialise. Food in the restaurant is really really tasty and you get a 10% discount if you are a guest.
