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 StatesNothing really. They are not in town, which was nice to be away from the hustle and bustle, but that could be something that people might dislike
Welcome drink, very friendly and amazing service. Love the staff. I booked a tour and rented a motorbike, prices were on par with other travel agency and things were very smooth. I message the front desk from wherever I am, and they book things for us. Breakfast was amazing too!

Czech RepublicThere is nothing near the accommodation, you need a scooter to reach the nearby beaches and town. Everything nearby within 5-10 minutes
A very pleasant hotel with a swimming pool, but what impressed us the most was the friendly and helpful staff, who even assisted us with trips to other islands. The room was convenient, clean, and spacious. Be sure to try the spring rolls in the restaurant.

United StatesBill more understandable…in the end not sure what this almost 30% more to the food bill was. Can’t change the location so make transportation cheap and accessible to go vanilla beach etc. not the opposite if you want clients. Transportation is overpriced there on purpose so you feel trapped and have no options. If they want longer stay…the room is not cheap and again in the middle of nowhere. Make it easy for people to enjoy themselves outside the hotel compound that is very limited in activities .
Staff, was nice even though at the end the food bill was majored by .27 percent not sure why???? Location is a bit in the middle of nowhere. Transportation complicated, food outside hotel almost impossible. So good for one nigh.

United KingdomThe hotel is slightly far out from the main town of el nido so does take a while to travel to places like Napcan Beach etc The WiFi only really works in the restaurant area and not in the rooms The AC in the room is very old and super loud, could definitely do with being replaced
The staff were exceptional, super friendly and incredibly helpful The food is fantastic, we ate at the hotel several times as we found the food even better than most of the local restaurants The pool is amazing, great for an afternoon swim once the shade has come over

AustraliaWi-Fi and Television Connection could be better with some better Routing. And San Miguel Apple Beer would be nice. And Dirt management around the rooms improved.
Breakfast was excellent. Meals were generous.in size Staff were magnificent. And very helpful. Wi-Fi was poor and the Television was not connecting to the outside channels, AIR conditioning. Did struggle needs ceiling or wall fans. Some type of Mats or Ceiling of the outside walkways would help with dirt getting into the Rooms.

United KingdomSome aspects of expense did not match the price you pay for the property. For example, having to pay extra for an additional cup of coffee or a yoghurt pot at breakfast (the breakfast granola came with a huge amount of granola and tiny pot of yoghurt). When the nightly stay is quite high end, these additional small requests should not come at an additional cost in my opinion.
Lovely setting, caring and hospitable staff.

BelgiumThe shower is a bit poor and the A/C is loud.
The resort is out of the busy center of El Nido but still within good reach by scooter. The pool and breakfast area is perfect to relax after a long trip. The staff went out and beyond and they are the sweetest people. I even got a birthday cheesecake for my birthday! The food is also very good! Try the fish and chips or paella 😉

NetherlandsEven if the resort was amazing, the price is to high. For this price we expect a better shower (no pressure), wifi in the room and maybe a free shuttle to the city. Something that could also be added is a good coffee machine :)
The property is very peaceful and well maintained. They have a nice pool and a delicious restaurant! The breakfast is amazing, you can choose between many options every morning.

AustraliaThe shower could improve more, there was definitely too little water coming out of the shower head.
We loved the solitude of the place to end our El Nido trip. Rain was forecasted during the last day of our stay in El Nido so we decided to book a resort where we can just relax and enjoy it’s amenities. We were allowed an early check-in which was great. We had the pool to ourselves, pool looked clean aside from a few leaves. Our room was very comfortably styled. Myka and her team were very accomodating to our requests. Dinner and breakfast was delicious. Myka also helped organise our transport to Puerto Princesa the next day.

United KingdomThe only things were that there were quite a few ants in the bathroom & the shower could be more powerful. Also the property is a good 20 minute tricycle ride from the centre (about 10 minutes on a motorbike) but is close to Marmegmeg beach/Vanilla Beach.
We loved the fact it was such a relaxing place to be. The pool is great, we ended up swimming in it every day. The rooms are really spacious and the aircon is exactly what we needed in 30° heat! The staff were so helpful and lovely, especially Marie who helped us organise tricycles and our diving/boat trips. We didn’t have change for our tricycle once and one of the staff members got on his motorbike to go and change our money for us- so kind! Thank you, we wish we could stay longer!
