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.).

I got nothing but love for this place
This is definitely one of my favourite hostels not only in the Philippines, but in the whole of Asia!! Great value for money! Very clean, and comfortable dorm room with enough space for all guests, and all facilities needed...You can also rent a motorbike for a good price. Anna and Flor are both super friendly, very helpful and happy to share many tips about the area. Lil Sophia is an absolute gem, and a superstar in the making. Felt like home from day one. I've extended my stay and I honestly wish I could stay a lil longer. 10/10 without a blink!

Might be a bit far from the town but honestly manageable with tuk tuks or scooters. But in the other side, it’s quite close to the best beaches on Panglao
Flor and Anna were the best !! It just felt like at home, had the best time with them !

Nice laid back hostel. The hostesses are great, and the atmosphere of the place very relaxed and friendly. Like in most places in pangalo you would need a scooter to move around, unless you stay near Alona beach and stay on that area. But there is more to see than just that: the chocolate hills, loboc river, napaling reef, Bohol beach... So you may end up renting a scooter anyway

Private’s are all in the same hut just divided with walls so we were kept awake til late by people loudly talking in the room next door, sometimes it was difficult to locate staff, but Anna was super helpful
Good location out of the business of Panglao centre, need a bike anyway in bohol so it works out well, can book tours through the hostel and free water is available

Anna is amazing. Chocolate Hills are beautiful. Flor is crazy. And it is a super nice time to spend on Panglao. Feels like home and they can help you organise literally anything from cheap motorbikes to travels. Good local food walkable as well as some beautiful beaches nearby. Best value.

Anna was an absolutely fantastic host! The most friendliest person we’ve met and made our experience 10/10! The room was exactly as pictured and perfect. Everything was clean and we enjoyed our stay! We hired a bike and got our laundry done too for amazing prices! We couldn’t recommend this place enough and would definitely stay again when visiting Bohol! Thank you so much to everyone at Izla Soanna!

Was cozy, lovely hosts and air conditioning. If you stay there, book the island hopping to balicasag over Anna, will be 1000 pesos and cheaper than on the beach. You can dry your cloths on a leash, and some cozy spots to stay while the afternoon sun is burning.
