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.).

Poorly soundproofed, our room was directly next to the reception where people where sitting until late and in early mornings because of the WiFi. Sliding door is not mirrored, so we had to close the curtains all day otherwise people could see from the reception directly in the room.
Small but super clean room with good aircon and warm water. Hosts were super helpful and welcome. Good restaurants nearby!

The location is a bit far from the center, only 15 minutes walk but it can be a bit scary at night because it's too dark. Breakfast is not included although the hotel offers some options which are more or less the same as going to a cafeteria, not cheaper. One last thing, there was a small wardrobe inside the room but it smelled very bad, lots of humidity.
The bedroom was comfortable, everything was clean and working well. There was free available cold water from a dispenser and free coffee and tea as well.

The aircon was difficult to control the temperature as its a box aircon so you can't set an extra temperature only turn the knobe up and down.
The people are really nice, the bed is comfortable (not hard like a lot of places in the Philippines), and the cold water available at reception was great.

Only thing was there was a WiFi issue, it wasn't always working. This wasn't a huge problem for us but to be noted in case someone needs it for remote working.
Lovely decor, beautiful room and bathroom. We loved the filtered water to brush your teeth and fill your water bottle up. Friendly helpful staff, who rented us a scooter. Everyday the room was cleaned which was really nice, they even gave us a laundry basket which was a nice addition to keep on top of the room. Good location and quiet surroundings. The guy can drop you for a good price in his tuk tuk.

We enjoyed our stay. Room and bathroom are comfortable and we had enough space. We like the location - you're a bit outside of El Nido, but its a nice walk. There are good and cheap food options just 3 min by foot (so you don't have to make your way to town if you don't want to). Free coffee and water :-)

None of these are actually bad but: -the location is not perfect. You can walk to the center but it's not super near. - The rocks in the shower floor. They do look great but they are not extremely comfortable
The staff is very helpful and friendly You can request the hotel all other services you might need (Laundry, Motorbike rental, Tour bookings, etc) for the same price as the center. The room itself is also very comfortable.

To access the area of the hotel you need to cross the beach, keep it in mind if you rent a motorbike. Other than that a great place to stay!
It was very clean, modern and the staff was very helpful. The hotel is quiet so a good option if you want to avoid the chaos of the main streets in el Nido. They did our laundry, they helped with motorbike rental as well...great staff

Nothing really, it was a pleasant stay.
The rooms were absolutely clean and bigger in size than expected. The washroom was clean. Service was great, tea coffe was available via dispensers at all times. Staff was very kind and helpful. Location was good too, city center was only 5 mins away. Great restaurant nearby which is also owned by the same owner - good food. To come back from city to hotel, you need to cross a beach so returning before 7 PM is recommended due to risk of high tide.

Very clean and room was spacious. Also, the property is close to El Nido town. Tricycles might not take you there due to high tide in the evening, but all it takes is less than 10minutes walk. The staff are very caring, especially Giboy. When I told him I was sick, he didn't think twice and took me to a local doctor and kept following up. They also organised our transfer to Puerto Princessa. Whatever you ask them, they're ready to help.

Superbe stay! Family who owns the property is helpful and attentive, we arranged everything with them, scooter rental, laundry and some private transport to Puero Princessa. All went very well. The neibourhood is quiet, tidy and green. There are small details that matter, such as the drinking water tank to refill your bottle. In the room you will also have a tank with water to use while brushing the teeth. Thank you Hutch Lodging House!
