Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

IrelandThe location is a bit far from the center, but you can get a tuk tuk for 100 pesos tô go to the town or to the las cabanas beach. There is no many restaurants options nearby, so it is necessary to get a tuk tuk
It is more a hotel than a hostel. There was no people at all. We booked Bunk Bed in Female Dormitory Room, but as wee were in 2 people, the place was for ourselves, once there was only 2 beds. The restaurant did not open most of the time, but the food was good. It was very clean, but the smell from the old AC is a bit annoying.

ItalyDuring my recent stay, I was delighted to find a private room with a balcony boasting breathtaking views of the bay. The staff was incredibly friendly and professional, promptly catering to my every request. Although I didn't sample the breakfast, I was impressed by their efficiency in arranging transportation to Port Barton on my behalf.

IrelandI didn't have any issues at all. The only thing is that wifi connection is patchy, best coverage is in the common areas. This was not a problem at all for me, but if someone needs wifi in the room this is not so good. Saying this, internet connection is patchy everywhere in El Nido
This was a great place for a restful stay. Easy reach of both town and the beach (need to hop on a tricycle but they are readily available outside and fairly priced) but without the noise and chaos of all the tourists. It is also just opposite a great diving centre, so that worked out well for me since I wanted to dive rather than do the tours. I booked a dorm bed but on arrival I was upgraded to a private room, so I cannot really say what the dorms look like, but the private room was great.

United States of AmericaThe wifi didn’t work in our room and there wasn’t phone reception on the property either. We had to be in the common area to connect to any service. The bathroom had a terrible smell unfortunately.
The staff were great and the free breakfast was simple but good. Also we ate dinner there one night and the food was surprisingly good. It was super easy to get a tricycle wherever we needed to go from just outside the hostel!

GermanyThe breakfast fast very very basic. One day we had a little scrambled with three blank pieces of toast
If you want to avoid the crowds in El Nido Corong Corong beach is your place to go. The view from the balconies is amazing! You can enjoy amazing sunsets either from the balcony or you can simply go down to the beach that is close by. The room itself is basic but offers everything you need. The staff is very helpful and welcoming :)

Belgium20% service charge is really much and does not really translate into exceptionnal service: rooms are not cleaned everyday, no daily towel change. Breakfast is just a couple eggs in omelette with a sweet and sour sauce. Gets very repetitive .. A few improvements: a comfy chair on the balcony, a minifridge, daily towel change, daily cleaning, and complimentary water bottles , at least on arrival
Rooms are really nice, spacious enough and with a stunning sea view. Beds are comfy. Staff at the front desk is helpful and friendly

TaiwanThe hostel location is about a 45-50 minute walk from the main attractions in El Nido, 10 minutes by tuk tuk.
I arrived at the hostel past the check in time [23:30], however, there was still someone there to help me check in. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The beds are comfortable and they even provided some basic toiletries. The hostel itself is very quiet and has a relaxing atmosphere.

Room itself was not very clean, had to use wipes to clean further. Bathroom has a lot of mold in the ceiling. Aircon unit has mold and dust. Overall the room just felt icky and didn’t smell fresh.
good location. access to tricycles. great restaurant beside it called Chica Chica which belongs to the hotel next door. Hot water was working well, wifi worked well (though router requires rebooting every now and again). Aircon unit working well (but very dirty).

CanadaLoved this place! The staff were so nice and accommodating for all your needs. I booked several tours through them as well. The rooms are great!!! Big beds and only 2 people per room. The place looks like a hotel, not a hostel. The restaurant had some amazing dishes, and the view and vibe were fantastic! I would highly recommend this place for a quiet and comfortable sleep. It's away from the city area but close enough to the beach too.
