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.).

Canadawe stayed in the little cabanas which we loved #6 - the only thing is that the bars behind you played music until 4 in the mornings on the weekends
it was a good mix of options, and refilled pretty quickly when food was low. Always had eggs, rice and other local dishes. We enjoyed the pool area, great views and just relaxing. Great location, can walk everywhere, lots of restaurant options

QatarWe have made a great choice staying in ENGR for our vacation. Some reviews mention poor wifi or smell in bathroom but it seems the management is taking feedback seriously and we had no e of these issues at all. Wifi connection without any issues and bathroom was clean. The biggest advantage of this hotel is own pool and mainly the location which is fantastics. It’s literally few steps from restaurants, bars but far enough to avoid loud music from bars in the evening. We can only recommend this place!

United KingdomBreakfast could be better and better WIFI connection.
The hotel is in a great location of El Nido - walking distance from the main street and next to the the Town Square Heritage District. The staff are very friendly and rooms are large and clean. The outdoor pool is beautiful with a wonderful view of the beach. Would highly recommend taking advantage of the massage services in the outdoor area!

EstoniaBreakfast could really be better variety and taste wise. Pool could be colder. There are too few sun beds near the pool. And the strange thing was that they had cocktails menu but they did not provide cocktails which for me was disappointing.
The location is definitely the best in El Nido. Pool was nice but could use a bit cooling as the water was literally as hot as in the bath. Staff was friendly and very helpful - helped us arrange rollers to discover island and tricycle at 5am in the morning to go to the airport. Room was specious but bit dated. Nice views from the balcony.

New ZealandCleanliness could be improved on, the floor of our room was sticky and sandy even after being cleaned. Could do with more pool loungers / seating. Breakfast could do with more variety each day. Reception need to have more smaller notes available for change. They can't take card payment but never had enough change for $1000P even though that's what you get from cash machines.
Location was great, facilities were nice and room was nice and spacious, although a bit tired and could do with a refresh - definitely the best hotel in this area of El Nido.

United KingdomBreakfast was the only big disappointment. Limited selection of cheap food. I'd recommend walking 20m down the road to a great breakfast place - if I remember correctly - Al Kala? The AC was incredibly loud. I sleep through anything but if you're a light sleeper you will struggle.
Very clean, very comfortable stay. Nice pool, pretty grounds, great location, access onto the beach at the back and walking distance to loads of great eating spots and bars. Great base camp for tours of El Nido.

GermanyA bit much of chlorine in the pool, so I wouldn't recommend a diving contest but for a little dip in the water it's ok.
One of the best hotels we had on our trip across the Philippines. It's located directly at the beach and it's just perfect to relax. You can easily walk to all of the restaurants, shops and stuff but the hotel is located in a quiet area. We went there mainly for diving and there are dive centres nearby (we recommend Palawan divers, which is just around the corner). The staff in this hotel was so kind and friendly, the rooms were nice and clean and the breakfast was good as well. If you want to have a great time in El Nido go on and book it!

PhilippinesWifi is bad. We stayed 4 days and we didnt experience a good connection on our whole stay. You need to go at the lobby in the morning to have a good connection.
Location is good. Its along the beach area where boat for the tours are located and outside is the highway where you can ride tricycle. Breakfast is okay they change menu everyday but not so much to choose from. Room is clean and big.
