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...).

SpainThe share room some times can get untidy customers leaving things all over the place without thinking that its a shared space. Towels in bathroom or outside entrance. Perhaps could help more hangers or shelves to leave things. But it is not to do with the hotel, its more to do with people being selfish.
Nice place and well look after. Very diferent from what you find in Genral Luna. Near by bike to go to General Luna. Fantastic Indian restaurant on top of the hostel. Very relaxing grounds and good swimming pool. They even have a cinema room. Good facilities to cook your own food. Fantastic place, I would come back and recommend 100%

PhilippinesI really don’t have anything much to say. If only the hostel is equipped for remote workers, it would be great. But I guess it would go against its “Bajala” motto. Still, it really is a rare gem to stay in a hotel that feels almost at home.
All of the things you would want are available. From pool to the kitchen to an Indian restaurant located at the second floor. The whole aesthetic of the place feels like a warm hug… And beachfront is a bonus!

United StatesThe bathroom could be a little damp and the shower tended to leak water onto the floor, but requesting a new bath mat solves the problem quickly.
I LOVED this hostel so much!! I transferred from a different one and breathed a sigh of relief and how clean and calm this location is. I stayed in the all female dorm and felt very safe the whole time, and it was a very thoughtfully designed room (stairs or very wide ladders to upper beds, secret compartments for valuables by your head, hooks and a shelf for each person). The staff was very kind and patient with me as well. The best part is that it's about a 5-7 minute moped drive from General Luna, so it's much quieter and has a private beach. It was incredibly relaxing, and I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better hostel on the island for the price.

AustraliaThe hostel is very beautiful and well-maintained. It's located a bit further from the city center, but I believe it has more positives than negatives. The street where the hostel is located is beautiful and well-organized — it's quiet and there's no traffic. You can also rent a motorbike and reach the city center in just 10 minutes

United KingdomIt’s a drive from the bars & restaurants of general Luna, but no problem at all if you have a moped which are easy & cheap to hire. We would have stayed longer and explored the coastline away from general Luna if we’d had more time.
The best hostel we’ve stayed in! Lovely clean pool, very comfortable beds, cinema room, laundry service, great Indian restaurant upstairs. Lots of thought has gone into the traveller experience - there are universal sockets in the rooms, private lockers in the kitchen with your own cutlery/crockery and a reusable water bottle. We stayed in a private double room & it had everything - drinking water, kettle to make tea, a nice balcony next to the pool. Lots of staff & they’re all super friendly & helpful. There are free snorkels & goggles to borrow at front desk, and paddleboards on the beachfront (we only discovered the lovely beach to the right of the hostel on the last day unfortunately, but it looked great for paddleboarding).

Really love this place! It was a home away from home. The bed are comfortable and clean. Quiet and well maintained Hostel. Its nearby the secret beach which is really quiet if you wanna be away from the busy area of GL! and its only 8 mins drive to GL! The most thing I liked about it is the Kitchen and the Cinema Room! It’s like I was really home! I definitely recommend staying here.

United KingdomThe hostel is ~5k away from General Luna. Sometimes, it is nice to be away from the main strip in a secluded area. Other times, it can be a hassle that you have to ride all the way to town. There wasn't a lot of space to hang clothes up to dry. With 6 to a hostel room that can be a problem, especially on rainy days.
Clean, good food, laundry service, comfortable beds with privacy curtains, good atmosphere, able to rent scooters cheaply and without issue, right by the beach.

United KingdomMaybe the pool could be kept open an hour or two later? It’s open until 8 but I personally usually come back to my hostel after that so didn’t get to use the pool at night. But still not a big issue!
This place is genuinely the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. It’s GORGEOUS and so comfortable and clean. The mattress is so deep and comfortable, they offer you a thick duvet and a thin blanket to choose. The room is perfectly cool throughout the night and the entire room is big and very clean. Stunning bathrooms too! The pool area is beautiful, it lights up at night and looks stunning. The dorms look like hotel rooms, they’re stunning. The staff are nice enough! A super comfy cinema room where you can choose what you watch and we all hung out in each night. Free beer or soft drink everyday (5:30pm-7pm) Out from the main area but a much more local spot and the drive from the main tourist area is so easy and really pretty. Also, right on the beach! You can swim in the sea and it’s super quiet, also really pretty entrance with the palm trees. If you’re looking to meet loads of people maybe choose a more social place but I still met some good friends and I wanted somewhere to chill. Amazing shared kitchen too. Couldn’t recommend more.
