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.).

Just everything! This is the best place to stay when in El Nido! The location is perfect. It’s just a short scooter ride to El Nido Town or places like Vanilla Beach where you can rent kayaks to explore the beaches or islands. Or you can just enjoy your beautiful terrace or hang out at the awesome pool or bar. Everyone is so helpful and they try their very best to make your stay as comfy as possible. Manu was even attending the post office after we left to send my postcards for me as the post office was closed because of public holidays. They offered tours and just everything we needed. I’m just happy to have chosen this place for our stay in El Nido. Couldn’t have been better. SALAMAT to everyone who was involved to make our stay unforgettable. See you later!

Focus rooms is close to the town but not so close you have all the loud noise. The rooms were cute and clean and surrounded by big tall plants which is lovely. The highlight of this stay is the manager, Manu. Him and his staff are the extremely helpful, kind and considerate. They really made sure that we were ok. Really great place to stay if you want to enjoy el nido for a few days.

Focus Rooms offered a very comfortable, friendly and enjoyable stay. All staff were friendly and willing to help at any time of the day. They supported our tour, moped and dinner bookings; this was extremely helpful. Manu took us down to the beach to meet our tour guide as well.

United StatesThe property is a bit hidden so if you will need landmarks to find it. Therefore, it would be much easier if you arrange an airport pick up. I was lucky that guests were quiet. I can see noise as being a problem if guests are loud since your “front “ door is the hallway / balcony/ and eating area.
The property is close to the “downtown” area. Walkable jn 10 mins. You also pass by souvenir stores on the way to the main area.

New ZealandThe shower leaked from somewhere, so the bathmat was always completely wet, which was a bit annoying. The rooms are also quite noisy. You can hear a lot of outside noise through the glass sliding door (when it's closed) and the bathroom window. But we enjoyed our stay!
Nice room, comfortable bed, good aircon, helpful staff, and awesome breakfast delivered to our room where you have it on the balcony. The French toast was really good! There's also a nice little swimming pool and a place to park the hire scooters.

UkraineSome things: was clean in general but didn’t sweep the floor, for 4 days it’s needed. Also, there is no kettle and cups, and so needed hair drier ! But if you ask these stuff they can provide it. Also, walls are really thin.
The stuff was really nice. Location is great as for me. Served coffee for free in the morning, very beautiful design, there is a small pool as well. WiFi was really nice which was really important for me.

United StatesMaybe add 2 towel rods to the bathroom and considered changing the floor of the showers.
This is a great new hotel, with comfortable beds, very quiet air conditioner, spacious room, delicious breakfast, and incredibly helpful staff that help you avoid getting ripped off. They help organize tours and even stored leftovers in the fridge for us! Relatively quiet area, off the main street enough to not hear traffic. Could be walkable into town and other beaches but roads are busy enough that it's better to take a tuk tuk. Would definitely stay here again! We stayed mid-December 2023 and the pool is almost ready!

CanadaYou need your phone flashlight at night when entering the hotel. watch out for dog poop.
Manu was accommodating to my needs especially with tour information. I was able to get a scooter on my first day, an island tour on my second day, and arranged for a pick up transfer from the airport.You can ask anything regarding your vacation. The location was very good, it's close to the center but away from the noise - it''s about 10 minute walk to where all the restaurants/bars are. The bathroom is quite unique, water pressure is very good, AC was quiet and no TV (i like that there is no TV, you would want to go out and see places than stay in your room). I really like that there are huge plants decor which added to the charm. I saw that they are constructing a small pool which is fantastic.

DenmarkVery basic room. The bathroom has a nice look but feels very damp, the shower can be hard to clean with all the small pebbles. The bathroom didn't have a proper window, only a mosquito net, so it was hard to keep the humidity out.
Very friendly staff, Manu even made sure to bring us to the right boat for our island hopping tour. Comfy bed and very good AC unit. Breakfast options were good and portions were very generous.
