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.).

Australiaonly thing they could improve on is a fridge in the rooms and making the pools a little colder as they are quite warm.
This was the best place that we have stayed in the Philippines, gorgeous views from our room and amazing sunsets, multiple pools, the staff went above and beyond and were so friendly and thoughtful. close to town with free TukTuk service from the resort, you can hire scooters from resort and book tours across the road from resort. Food was good and free cocktails every day for 1hr at 4pm! We absolutely loved it, thank you for making our honeymoon so special!

CyprusNo notes. Everything was great.
One of the best experiences we had in the Philippines. Amazing location, nice facilities with local character and a great view of Cadlao island. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable, we enjoyed a lot the small outdoor veranda. The staff were very helpful for everything we requested and very friendly. The restaurant is also one of the best places to eat in El Nido.

United StatesMy room was dim even with lights on or in the day light, I would have liked another light bulb, bathroom had good lighting though . Also the room was hard to cool down. It took a very look time. I was not uncomfortable at night but it could have been cooler. My sisters had a separate room that did not have these issues so it may have just been my room.
Cadlao is prime location. It is a peaceful and quiet resort that is a 2 minute tuktuk ride from the busy town. (cadlao offers free, fast & easy transfers via tuktuk) I love that the Cadlao and town are very environmentally friendly. The scenery is unreal. It’s the most beautiful place on earth. The hotel is a great vibe. Very clean, small rooms but comfortable beds. amazingly helpful & friendly staff. Food was pretty good and drinks were delicious. I would 100% stay at Cadlao again in the future.

United StatesI would have liked to have had a television in the room, but it's not a deal breaker.
Cadlao Resort was beautifully situated with easy access (via the hotel provided tricycle) to town and a gorgeous view. The staff were friendly, accomodating and the restaurant was unexpectedly creative with well prepared and interesting menu choices. There were many small touches that enhanced the experience. Foot baths to wash off sand before entering the room. A nice drying rack outside the door and a lovely porch with chairs if you wanted to stay close to your room. The grounds were lovely and well maintained with a nice (more than one) pool area. I loved the feeling of a small boutique resort. Excellent breakfasts.

CanadaI’ve nothing to complain or to add.
The view is so amazing. The cabanas are spacious and clean. The location is what we needed for a restful vacation. It’s away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It’s just us and the serene sounds of the ocean. The restaurant serves a fusion of Filipino and western cuisine. Everything is superbly cooked at my standard. Drinks are perfectly mixed to my liking. Kitchen staff are always on their feet to serve and satisfy our needs with smiles on their faces. Housekeeping staff are doing their job diligently. In general, all of the Cadlao’s staff are 10/10.

PhilippinesOn the first night, the resort forgot about the extra bed I requested and we got in very late. Fortunately, the security guard was able to sort it out. The resort (like many in El Nido) is a bit on the pricey side.
The staff were very courteous and the resort was a great view of Cadlao Island! My friends and I also availed of the massage service. The front desk was also very reliable in sending tricycles to pick us up (as a shuttle service to the hotel).
