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.).

Kiko and his family are the nicest people in Bucana. Kiko will offer you karaoke session and good recommendation for food and activities. The room is not too big but totally sufficient, and everything is clean. You also have 2 fans in the room, but it’s not that hot during the night.

AustraliaThis stay is phenomenal! One of our favourite places we’ve ever stayed. The host, Ka Kiko, is an absolute ray of sunshine and such a joy to be around. He gives great recommendations for places to eat and visit in the area, has some killer karaoke skills, will often personally escort you around the village, AND walk you to the shuttle bus at the end of your stay (even at five in the morning!). His family are delightful and will add so much warmth to your stay (cheeky boy Cham Cham!). The facilities are clean and well maintained. Water pressure for showers is good. Free tea and coffee on the beach each morning is lovely. The stay is right on the beach and feels like a little slice of paradise. Wifi is incredible considering the location. You can cook in their kitchen for a small fee. Ka Kiko also made us the most delicious dish we’ve had during our stay in the Philippines. When you book, keep an eye out for the intro message from the host - it has some very handy information about getting to the property for a good cost. Do yourself a favour and stay here!

GermanyIt was beautiful. The area is really nice and the little huts are not extraordinary but cute. The beach is very clean and you can find a variety of restaurants along its way. One of the main reasons to stay at the camp shalom is the staff. Kiko is super friendly and he will go the extra mile to make your stay enjoyable. Would definitely visit again :)

IrelandWe absolutely loved our stay at Camp Shalom, the location was amazing (on a very quite and beautiful beach) the family running Camp Shalom were amazing, they spent time with us and helped us organise a local tour, brought us to karaoke and made sure we were happy throughout our stay. I can't say enough great things about this place. We stayed in both el nido and here, in our opinion this is 100 times better than el Nido town. I count the days until I can return to camp Shalom. Ka Kiko and your family thank you for everything, I hope to see you again soon

CanadaThe host Ka Kiko, amazing human being!! The fact you drop your scooter, take the bridge and a 5min walk, you’re there!! People in the village are just pure!! On my 3 days, 2 mornings I had a chance to see them put baby turtles in sea (magic moment), if you are ok to sleep in hut and live a good experience without the touristic chaos, this is the place!

NetherlandsKiko and his daughter Jam were very nice and helpful. Kiko showed me around and helped me get a driver to El Nido. The location is a bit far from El Nido so if you don't drive a motorcycle it takes about 45 minutes by tricycle. But once you get there you forget all about that as the camp is located on the beach and it's very quiet and pieceful. At night you can here the waves from the hut. There are some nice restaurants on the beach just within 1 minute walking from the camp.

FranceWonderful encounter with our hosts ! We had a very warm greeting and we spent some great moments with the family that manages the place. They were so nice and thoughtful 😁 The camp is located in front of the beach in a little fisherman's village, off the beaten tracks. Exactly what we were looking for. You have to leave your vehicle at the suspend bridge, then walk over. Great experience. They were waiting for us at the bridge. You will be sleeping in a little simple nippa and you have a commun kitchen and bathroom. Everything was very clean. If you are looking for an experience out of the touristic zones and meet a local Filipino family this place is for you. With a scooter, you can easily go to visit Nacpan beach (touristic beach with a lot of resorts and restaurants) or Duli beach (less people but has a small surf spot and two places for lunch or a drink, also offers massages), or even have a road trip around the north.
