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 are 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 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):
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.
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.).

Perfect location for El Nido town. Right on the beachfront near all the bars/restaurants/cafes, but far enough town that it's away from all the noise and footfall. The boat tours leave literally a few steps from it too so it's ideal, especially at the end of day coming back. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Rooms are basic but comfortable and clean, good aircon, hot water in shower. Great inexpensive stay!

United StatesThe ac unit was so loud and was very weak. It would take quite a while to cool the space and i had to keep it on at night to stay comfortable (which was very noisy)
Amazing location. The main road in El Nido stretches east to west but the west side (near this listing) is where the great restaurants and cafes are located. The east has some too but more bars and vendors. Location is also next to where they drop you off after the boat tours so that was convenient

United KingdomThe aircon does not work, I mean it makes a lot of sound but not cooling at all. Massive cockroaches around but that a regional problem not a specific hotel. The bathroom on a basic side, bedsheets falling off constantly from the plastic-covered mattress. Its cheap - if you lower your expectations and sleeping in heat is fine, that is objectively a very good place.
Conveniently located, perfect for a few-day stay if you do boat trips and just combing back for a sleep. Nice terrace/balcony where you can dry your clothes after a day on a beach. Decent size room, basic amenities and water provided. Clean and just on the spot for the price.

Location is right at the edge of El nido near the port, still walking distance to the restaurants. Cold water dispenser supplied. Place felt clean. Big bed.

United StatesWe enjoyed our stay at the property, but I wouldn’t recommend booking tours or travel through them. When we booked a tour and asked what we needed to bring we were told “just yourself,” but they should have mentioned that if we wanted water shoes (required) or snorkeling gear (the main activity at one stop), we needed to rent them in advance. We already had water shoes and snorkeling gear, so we were fine on that front, but we also weren’t told we needed cash on the boat to rent a kayak (the only activity at one stop) and buy ice cream, drinks, etcetera that were available throughout the day. We also booked van transport to Puerto Princessa through them. We were told vans left every hour, so we booked one for 11a. We were picked up at 11:15, transferred to a different bus at the bus terminal, where we waited with one other passenger for over an hour. We then returned to the exact location where we were picked up and picked up some more passengers. We then returned to the bus terminal and waited another thirty minutes or so before we actually left at nearly 1p. While staff at the hotel were pleasant and seemed helpful, I wouldn’t chance booking anything through them.
Good location next to the beach and walkable to restaurants and shops. While rooms don’t have private balconies, the balcony area overlooks the beach and offers a nice place to unwind. The shower has hot water and the room has AC, a ceiling fan, and a TV. Trash is emptied daily, and staff is always sweeping up and keeping the place clean.

PhilippinesNo facility to hang and dry our wet clothes. No available hot and cold water like most of the hotels in El Nido. It is better if they provide hot and cold water that most of the tourists need.
Attentive and kind staff. The place is clean. They also provide island hopping tours which is very good. They are willing to assist you with almost everything you need.

SpainThe only problem I had was upon arrival. Even though it was already 16:00 p.m. The person who was in what was going to be my room had not left it. I was outraged, because the girl told me that as if I couldn't do anything...what's the point of booking then? He offered me another room in the hostel next door, but of poorer quality, without windows to the outside. I was very tired from the trip and I felt sorry for the girl and I accepted. The next day I already had the room available.
In general, everything is very good. Beautiful views of the boats in El Nido bay

AustraliaFacilities stuffing up. But what do you expect. Also. They were very good at trying to fix it. Lighting. Why do all the SE Asian places have poor or no lighting? I want to be able to light up the bedroom. And i want tosee what I'm doing in the barhroom when i get ready!
You get what you paid for. Simple, basic but it is clean and tidy. Keep in mind mishaps happen. These include power outages, water running out and the sweage system clogging. These all happened to me in the 3 days I was there. The worst was the sewage as the block was literally outside my room on the bottom floor. It STUNK. If I hadn't borderline demanded to move that night they probably wouldn't have said anything to me and left me there. These people are very nice and helpful. But you have to tell them what and expect. And they will do it. Plus side is the view up the top. Awesome nearly 360 degree view of the bay and the floating pontoon and boats. Great for breakie and the evening.
