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 KingdomThe first room we stayed in had a bit of a bad smell and some damp but when we told the staff about this they were great and moved us to a new room which was perfect!
Staff were extremely helpful and rooms were a good size and location was excellent

United KingdomThe bathroom needs improvement! There was holes in the ceiling, the drains smelt (to the extent that we had to always keep the bathroom door closed) and the shower pressure was pretty much non existent- don’t even think about washing your hair whilst you’re there!
The room was a good size, had a balcony & provided towels. The property was in a really good location too, opposite some markets and just a short walk to Corong- Corong beach and the centre of el nido town. Fine for a night or two but not as ideal for a longer stay.

AustraliaA bit noisy if you are not a deep sleeper. Shower with low pressure (but I reckon this is happening in all the Philippines). The room was very clean when we checked in but they didn’t clean during our stay.
The location was great. Walking distance from center and beach. The room was big enough and confortable with a good aircon. Staff so friendly and welcoming. They help us to book some tours.

United KingdomThe first room we had was covered in black mould, luckily they moved us when requested the next day and that room was fine Breakfast was cheap which is good but the second and third day they had limited options and never knew what would be in stock the next day
The man who works on the desk during the day is so lovely!! Always happy to help. Very good location just outside the main centre Arrange bike hire and washing for cheap. Free water. I left my drivers license and the worker came and dropped off to my location, very kind! Cheap hotel compared to the rest of el nido.

AustraliaThe drains in the bathroom could use a good clean as it started to smell during the mid day heat. But i am also aware that cleaning drains properly while making sure to use products that dont damage marine life is difficult.
Friendly staff, free purified water and close to all the areas I wanted to walk to in El Nido. Our toilet broke while we were staying and the staff were quick to fix the issue and were very apologetic for the inconvenience.

AustraliaIt's not really the hotels fault however the main road is super noisy so we didn't really sleep much for the 4 days we were there, which was a bit annoying. I would suggest rooms that are not on the road for a better stay. Scooter provided wasn't great, speedometer didnt work and couldn't open the seat. Clean, spacious, aircon all positive just the seriously loud main road really put a dampener on the stay for us.
Rooms clean & tidy, good size. Aircon worked well. Staff were friendly. 8 mins walk down to El Nido town so close enough to everything.

AustraliaA bit of loud road noise. If you want quiet, ask for a room away from the street.
Friendly, helpful and clean :) If you want a hotel slightly away from the centre (but still very good location, and easily walkable to the centre), this is good.

PhilippinesDidn’t like that you couldn’t add on breakfast to our stay but it wasn’t a make or break, just would’ve been nice to eat at the hotel on super early days.
Staff were all friendly and very helpful. Open area on third floor was perfect for morning coffee and baby to roam around. AC worked well, hot shower available and available cold/hot water for drinking at any time of day. There was someone on site 24/7 if you ever needed anything. Good location, walkable to any part of the bayan. Perfect for us!
