I'd like to visit Manila, curious about hotels

Some of these hotels are 40 a night, some are 4 times that, yet the guest ratings seem about the same. Would I regret going with one of the cheap options? Had an absolutely awful experience doing that in South Carolina, but also I'd have seen that coming if I had checked the rating and read the reviews.

Just seems like there should be SOME identifiable difference with a quadruple price multiplier.
