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):
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.
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.).

PhilippinesPlease inform your other guests to observe silence, especially the foreigners. I couldn't sleep properly on my last night because they were talking so loudly at midnight. Yung isa kong pillow may natusok dahil ata sa feathers na laman nun.
I love the Instagrammable facilities, the staff are very accommodating, and the snacks are tasty.

FranceOnly 1 toilet and 1 shower, but the dorm wasn't full so it was no problem. The lights in all the beds always let a little bit of light even when turned off.
Super quiet, clean and nice hostel! The staff is also incredibly nice. I was supposed to check out at 11am, turns out I came back from the hike at 7PM... and it was no problem to extend the stay in last minute. Design is modern, and the place feels safe. It's outside the busy streets but yet well located. There is also an amazing vegetarian/vegan/healthy restaurant at 10 min walking distance (which is super rare to find in the Philippines, after leaving here for 2 years). I didn't get to try the restaurant or meet people (I had to wake up at 3am, so went to sleep as soon as I arrived) but I heard solo travellers socializing and laughing all together, which is really nice. Everyone was friendly. Honestly best value for money. Similar hostels can cost almost double on other islands. Will definitely come back anytime I pass by Puerto Princesa!

AustraliaNot a big issue, just was a bit of a walk to restaurants, but there is local items a block over and always a scooter to get you anywhere
The vibe is so hidden gem speak easy style. The bar had a nice young guy we always saw up there, great vibe and very decent menu and prices. The rooms were nice, quite nice with spacious beds and a ledge to put plenty of items. The bathroom was quite stylish and used the space well

SpainThe staff was amazing. I had an accident with pen ink as it exploded during my flight to Puerto Princesa and the ink was on my backpack and some clothes. They worked many hours during the night to make sure it's clean and dry before my departure next day! Indeed, it was clean and dry next morning. Priceless.. Also great atmosphere in the rooftop bar in the evening.

MexicoThe design of this place is amazing, modern and cool I really liked it. Someone helped me through messages in this site with all my queries, a special thanks for this person because I messaged and received response every time. The lady at the frontdesk is also very nice. Another gem of this place is Mario, he is there all the time to give rides in his tricycle, but he is a very special man, he calls himself as Super Mario, so funny, so servicial, so nice! He has the best attitude, a lovely man. He makes this place even more special!!! Definitely I highly recommend this place.
