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...).

United StatesRoom didn’t have much space to put your stuff there was just a narrow hallway for people to get in their bunk beds. A bit overpriced compared to other hostels located closer to everything.
Nice view and terrace for the sunset, they have a bar a small menu available.

SwitzerlandThe locker was broken and the mattress was pretty bad. Overall too pricey, over 20.- usd for a 8-bed dorm is way too much.
Good enough for 1-2 nights. Very well located, right at the beach in a nice and quiet neighborhood but in walking distance from the center. Nice staff and the common area is cool.

United Statesrooms are a bit small and a hassle if you get the top bunk but great value for your money!

United KingdomBeds are extremely uncomfy - however they have sign up saying new ones are on the way. Rooms are cramped and not the best. I think the hostel is a little overpriced for what you are getting but I guess that’s the same everywhere in El Nido.
The best thing about the hostel is the view and the chill out areas! They have gorgeous sunsets and hammocks you can chill in whilst you watch. They have a pool table and table tennis. The drinks and food they serve are cheap. The bathrooms are clean, showers are good. The ac in the rooms work well.

NorwayThis hotel has a breathtaking view. It's a good plus. But the bed was very bad!! There's no justification for having such a bed in a place where people pay to sleep. It was completely distorted and fell in the middle and I had to sleep in the hollow of the middle and the bed was sagging. Good to have a good view but we are paying for a room to sleep then the beds have to be good.

CanadaThe beds were pretty uncomfortable. They had a divot in the middle so you could kinda feel the wood underneath the bed. Also in the bedrooms, there was no light in the bed area so if you were trying to pack and be discreet it was very dark. You had to use your phone which mine wasn’t bright enough. Small thing, but they put mirrors up in the bathrooms which are super low. I’m 5’5” and I had to bend over to see my face in the mirror.
The hangout areas are very nice and well put together. I like the variety of swings, hammocks, nets, and beanbag options to sit. It’s very cozy. I liked the warm showers, everywhere else I stayed so far had cold showers.

Australia- looked a bit unfinished and some areas were a bit precarious - bed was uncomfy; could feel the frame on the top bunk - lockers confusing - no PowerPoints - a little expensive for the standards
- view was awesome - cool music at night - lots of cool spots to chill - easy access to the beach - cheap and easy breakfast - good location easy walk to the main town a little dark at night - lots of good potential to be a cool backpacking spot

It looks like a nice hostel by the beach, with a lot of entertainment, but I feel I wasn’t lucky cause it was empty when I was there. Good price, rooms are good. Bit far from the town but walkable distance. Very kind staff!

PhilippinesI absolutely love the vibes at this hostel! The staff, volunteers, and local rasta crew are all so friendly and welcoming it really feels like everyone is part of one big family. The location by the beach is so peaceful, and the rooms are very clean and quiet, perfect for resting. The whole place is well-maintained, which makes it even more relaxing. The bar has such a chill atmosphere you can feel the sea breeze while lounging in the cargo net, or enjoy a game of skateboard, ping pong, pool, and of course my favorite… beer pong! There’s always something fun to do, but also plenty of space to just unwind. Overall, the hostel has such a homely paradise vibe. I only wish I had more time to stay longer, but I’ll definitely be coming back and next time I’m bringing friends!
