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.).

Verified reviewThree words. AMAZING. IMMACULATE. VIBES !!! This is by far the best hostel I’ve been to since I started solo traveling. From the moment I entered the place, Momo made me feel like I was part of her family. We bonded so so well during those 4 days, she would do everything she can to make your stay the most comfortable possible. She’s one of the most genuine and generous person I’ve ever met, a unique human being. The warmth and the authenticity I felt in this hostel was unreal, from the staff to the other guests. We really all were getting along really well. This is the place to be in Moalboal, 100% !! You don’t wanna be at any other place but at Momo’s. I hope I can come back in the future !! ;) PS : Jack is the nicest dog ever !!
Nothing. Everything was, frankly, perfect.

Verified reviewWe throughly enjoyed our stay at Momo’s, the host was very accommodating and friendly. The dorm room was comfortable and the aircon worked very well. We particularly liked the attention to detail with the free towel, free use of a snorkel and the fact the female and male toilets were separated. Thanks Momo :)
The only negative would be the location as it’s a bit far from the town centre but all the positives made up for that!

Verified reviewThe whole atmosphere of the hostel was great a very warm and welcoming feel with everyone socialising in the hostel and it’s a no brainer to stay here when coming to moalboal, the facilities were great with Momo the owner being a great host and not to forget jack jack or touka the two dogs, also momo was very helpful with any service you needed such as day trips that she would organise for you, tuk tuks and also scooter rental and restaurant recommendations. I’m not one to normally leave reviews on a place I’ve stayed but this place most definitely deserves it, thankyou for the accommodation Momo :)

Verified reviewCute small hostel, with two dorms of 8 beds each. There are 4 toilets and 4 showers, all very clean. Beds were comfortable and rooms had good working AC. Momo can help arrange tours including canyonerring and sardine run - very helpful! The dogs and cats are also super cute and friendly!
It's quite far from the main road so I'd recommend having a motorbike (you can ask Momo to rent one). The dorm rooms are relatively small and if the room is full, there isn't quite enough space for everyone's stuff.

Verified reviewThe homestay was clean and everyone was very welcoming and nice. The beds were comfortable and due to the curtains privacy was given. Unfortunately sometimes I could only have a hot shower once, which was only a problem since it was cold and rainy while I was there. The bar area is good for socialising and the Internet was good as well. The hostel is located a little bit away from the main road which makes it a good walk getting into the city, but with a scooter it wasn't a problem at all.
