How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Very difficult to find it as they don’t have the logo name outside. Looks like a very simple house. Not furnished at all with some equipments. The way to go is a bit strange but you will feel more local.
Good price for only three days staying.

The house offers 4 rooms. We stayed in a room on the 1st floor which was quite big but had 2 major problemas: extremely hot and no water pressure at all. The ac is an old machine and makes way too much noise so we couldn’t sleep with it on. Then we moved to a room in the ground floor as we decided to extend our stay. Much cooler room but bathroom had plenty of bugs (small cockroaches).
Location is definitely the biggest highlight, as it’s right in the centre of town but without being it in the Main Street.

The property was a bit hard to find. The bathroom was extremely small and the entire apartment evidently experienced some severe mould problems. However the worst part was that the air con for our room was connected to a back room where some people resided. Thus meaning that any smell that was created in there (e.g smoke) would fill our room. It was quite unpleasant to wake up to the smell of cigarettes.
The hotel was in a brilliant location. Right by the port and in one of the best shopping/food strips of el nido. The staff were very useful

This may not seem too relevant for some people, but the location of the entrance is just a little off the beaten path. I didn't see any signage showing the exact location. In fact, there's not even a front lobby desk to call. This threw us off at first, but the actual rooms themselves were very clean and comfortable.
The location is close to one of the main streets where you can easily access restaurants, shopping, and tours. The staff was quite helpful.

The hotel isn't branded on the outside and is down an alleyway so difficult to find
Great room, fantastic aircon and well presented. Clean and super comfortable with a hot shower. Great price for the area and right in the heart of the main strip.

Unfortunately the AC is not the best. It is really loud, even with earplugs in at night and the settings are not convenient. It is also worth noting that there were a couple of power blackouts within our stay.
The rooms are clean and look closely similar to the pictures. The host was really helpful and available. Check-in and check-out were flexible. The location is perfect to explore the Center of El Nido.

Starting with the location, the entrance was at quite a shady alley which was both dirty and dark. When it comes to the room, the quality of furniture was poor e.g., the bed was really small for two and made big squeeking/cracking sounds every time you moved. The AC was also really aged and made a lot of noise. The noise could occassionally be really loud impacting sleep as well. The floor of the room could use some improvements as it gathered sand and other dirt very easily. Also it was not very clean to begin with and hence, placing anything on it was unpleasent. The water in the toilet had a really questionable smell and no hand soap was not provided. Also if you needed more toilet paper, it had a price and thus, we ended up to buying it from local market. Also mosquitoes nets could be installed to the windows since we had some of them indoors which is rather unpleasant due to possible diseases.
The location of the Inn was good. Close to restaurants and activities. Additionally, the wifi was good in our room.
