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.).

United StatesThe location is excellent- walking distance to downtown El Nido and a scooter ride away from nearby beaches. Elmo and his family were very friendly and helpful and even rented us a scooter for the day. The room was clean and perfect for a quick stay in El Nido!

HungaryThe room itself was really really hot , the AC was on on the lower temperature(16C) during the day time when we were not at home but after switching off 2-3 hours it was hot( over 25C again ) this is mainly the isolation of the room . There was no window to outside. Location was far from the Center.
The owner was really kind and helpful! The accomodation was clean . We had water and coffee each day.

Elmo‘s Place is a homestay, which I loved. He and his family are so very special. The room is very cute and clean and equipped with everything you need. I got the most amazing vegetarian breakfast every morning with a view on the beach. The place is located about 7 minutes walking distance from El Nido centre which I found great as the town is very crowded and loud. As a solo female traveler I felt very safe to walk there also when it was dark.

We had a lovely stay at Elmo's place. It's located in a local area, close to the city center with a cute view of the local harbor. Elmo and his wife are very welcoming. They offer great service such as an early check in, a lift to our busstop, kitchenware to cut my own fruits and lovely chats with a cup of coffee. Also the breakfast was very tasty and the room is nice and clean. We would definitly recommend this place!

NetherlandsUnfortunately the facilities were a bit lacking; there is no hot water, the water pressure in general is often very low and the AC turns off at random times at night. The location is a short walk (5 minutes) out of the town center. The area gets a bit less refined outside of the center, we didn't really mind but I can imagine others might.
The owners were really nice and they made a great breakfast for us and helped with any questions about things to do. We also rented a motorbike from them for 500 pesos for a day. The price per night is also quite good!

GermanyThere was very little space in the room to put your stuff. A shelf or something could maybe help a bit since the table is quite small and everything has to go on the floor around otherwise. The AC was very very loud - we already had this kind if AC in a few accommodations in the philippines now so it seema to be kind of a "standard" one but nevertheless it was almost impossible to sleep until after 1-2 nights you kind of get used to it a bit. If you turned it of, it got hot real quick in the room so that was not an option. There is only cold water for the shower. This might be ok (even though it would be good to mention that in their description,so people know before booking) but the bigger issue was, that there was so little water coming Out of the shower, sometimes even nothing so it was not possible to shower... Elmo mentioned that it depends on how many people already used water that day since the tank might be empty at some point. Maybe there is a way to improve this since not having water in your shower at all or if lucky just a tiny bit was annoying.
Elmo and his family are very welcoming and kind people which supported us if there where any question. We could book our Day trips with them and they organized a trycicle when we needed to get somewhere since the accommodation is not directly in the city center Overall everyone was very helpful and kind. The breakfast we got was amazing! Definitely the best breakfast we had in our whole stay in the philippines & cooking skills are a 10/10. The bed was comfortable and we could hang our wet clothes infront of the house which was great. Also they have a really cute dog (Barsa) that loved to be snuggled all the time. The view from the seating area is nice since you can directly sea the ocean.
