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...).

SwitzerlandThe recent electricity outage is not the fault of Soffta Surf Ranch. But there is definitely a need for buying a Generator as this Island is getting the electricity from Surigao. An outage means no Electric Fan, limited opportunities to charge the mobile phone, limited amount of water in the CR and Shower and no lights Mosquitoes. There were two big holes in my net.
Friendly Staff Easy to get in touch with People Outdoor Shower Hostel Vibe

PhilippinesI was not expecting some dogs inside (especially the pitbull). It's kinda scary during late night when you go out and then going back to hostel, they will bark you.
I like that it is just near tourism road. Everything you need is just outside bars and restaurants.

PhilippinesThe power outages but i think it was an island-wide issue. The A/C was at its coldest at around 2am, during the day it didn’t really work, but the ceiling fan helped a lot
Great ambiance and staff, and beach dogs are always a plus for me.

PhilippinesI wish they had more fans in the shared room. It gets so hot and its hard to get enough air when you are sharing 1 fan with 3 beds.
The staff are helpful. The room is big also you have enough space to put your luggage. I like that they have locker to store valuable things.

United KingdomSoffta and the people who run it are a a vibe. I think it's the best place to stay for an authentic introduction to Siargao. It's certainly not your typical hostel. Instead, it feels like going back in time to stay in the kind of village Siargao must have looked like 10 years ago. You are close to nature, surrounded by good people, good energy, the best surf breaks and even though it's on the busiest stretch of Tourism Road, it's super quiet at night because it's at the endof a leafy side lane. Definitely the kind of place you might end up extending your flight for!
