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 StatesNot their fault, but blackouts happen sometimes. Their backup generator kicks in almost immediately, which is great, but unfortunately no AC for the short while this is happening.
The tranquil seaside location and views are amazing. Friendly staff (thank you Joel!) and convenient walking to everything you need.

United KingdomThere are power cuts for hours, which means no water as the shower is electric, no way to charge the devices and no wi-fi. That would be fine during the day but on our last day happened in the morning and was really inconvenient. They could inform the guests beforehand. It's a bit of a walk to El Nido proper town, that at night can be very dark.
Beautiful colorful hotel. The area is really lovely with beautiful plants. Nice and big rooms, with a little balcony. Cold and hot water is available to drink. Nice and simple breakfast. The sunset from the property is stunning. Be aware of the giant ants! The beach there is shallow, but if you walk a lot eventually you can swim. There's a hanger for clothes outside, really handy, and good aircon in the bedrooms. Nice staff.

Nice, tidy, well equipped room with terrace, in front of the garden with a lot of shady trees, right at the beach, tranquil and only a short walk from the center of the town. Small shops, laundry, etc around. Must be one of the best options in El Nido in terms of price value!

PhilippinesOn our way back to the airport. we thought we were moving immediately so that we can still shop at the pasalubong center. the driver make us wait for an hour waiting for other people. we were not informed about that set up. we had to move very fast in order for us not to miss our flight.
staffs are very attentive and approachable. rooms are clean. the owner of the property was very responsive and always takes action to all our concerns. tour guides are very professional and very engaging. Kuya Loy- our tour guide - was very funny that he made sure that our tour will not be boring.

United States1. Distance to El Nido was difficult at times, especially given the lack of public transportation options. 2. The beach was poor, and this particular location had almost no swimmable areas.
nice, quiet atmosphere when there wasn’t construction nearby. staff were pleasant and helpful.

United States1. location. The property is about a mile from El Nido. The walk is ok, but tiring in the heat. Cars are not allowed on the path to the village, but tuk tuks are. However, obtaining a tuk tuk wasn’t easy. 2. Beach. The beach isn’t nice. Not only is the sand course and rough, the ocean is shallow and impossible to swim in. 3. Critters. We’re used to the occasional gecko at night, but there were other, loud, animal noises made throughout the night. Ants were a commonplace on the tables. Flies were annoying.
nice breakfast, great staff.

NetherlandsNo negatives. I enjoyed my stay very much
Very tranquil. I had a great night of sleep here! The fans were more than sufficient to keep the room cool enough. Close to beach and many restaurants. Unfortunately I could only stay one night here. The place is run by a very nice family who do everything they can to make sure you are comfortable. When I arrived back from my boat tour on my second day, they gave me the key to a spare room to have a shower which I thought was very nice (I had already checked out). My laundry was always waiting for me upon my return from the boat tour. My stay was perfect. Many thanks!

United StatesSTUNNING views as this place is right on the beach. And a really great staff. The hotel is about a 10-15 minute (but very beautiful) walk into town, so it’s close enough to enjoy the amenities (but there are still some great restaurants within minutes of the hotel) but also far enough away to have an oasis of peace and quiet here.
