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.).

Maybe cleaning more frequently the toilet which is shared by 9 people would be a great thing. There is an available kitchen but if you use the stoves, they charge 100 pesos. No sense for me…
I stayed at the dorm which has single beds, quite different from hostels dorms but I loved it. Location is out of the bustling city center, you need to walk around 10 min to the main places for diving, activities or restaurants but it worth it because this makes the hostel to be less noisy. I met nice people staying there. Staff is so nice and helpful with activities around and transportation. You have some cutie kittens around and that’s lovely. Rooms are clean and beds are comfortable. AC is kept whole day in 24 degrees and makes the space to be super easy to handle with the heat and humidity you have outside.

We had a double room, and for the price, it was exceptionally worthwhile. The service was wonderfully helpful, the room (and washroom) were clean, and the price was excellent; what more could one desire? It is definitely a recommended place to stay.

Air con extremely loud. We ended up sleeping with the AC off because of the noise and the room got pretty warm, leading to poor sleep quality. Walls are not well insulated so you can hear all the noises from outside and the people talking in the adjacent room.
Clean and cozy room. Comfortable bed. The shower had good pressure. Shared kitchen available to prepare your own food. Water refill station. Kind and welcoming staff.

Great hostel in Coron, located just outside the centre in a quieter area. The private rooms are comfortable and clean. The staff are very friendly and help with any questions. There is a little area outside rooms to dry items ect. We experienced one power cut but it was fixed with an hour so no issues. There is air conditioning and a fan. Great value for money. There’s also a kitchen space to store and make food.

The room gets really hot and the a/c machine is loud, but in the end we could sleep ok with just the fan on. The room is really small, there is almost no space to open your luggage. No soundproofing, you can hear everything from the next room. The courtyard was full of mosquitoes. No credit card accepted for any extra services you book through the hostel.
All the staff are polite and helpful. A small breakfast is offered (bread & peanut butter). The beach escapade tour that we booked through the hostel was nice. You can cook simple meals in the common kitchen, but beware of the hungry cats!

There are a lot of mosquitos outside in the common area, just make sure to switch off the light of the room before opening the door 😉
The room and the toilet were clean. Location is good, close to everything. No breakfast available but 24h free coffee and water and a slice of bread with pea butter from 7am.
