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 aircon was soooo loud! Earplugs are a must! The room was also musky but, it is an old property. The room was small and the bathroom wasn’t anything special. The breakfast wasn’t the best either. At the end of our trip, the staff were a little upset with one another!
It’s right on the beach! And you can rent kayaks. You can’t swim in that part and will need to venture out to beach! It’s close to the port and the guesthouse will book the tour for you. You can pay by card. They also have snacks and water that you can buy from them and, free breakfast. The staff are helpful and the main guy is polite. There’s a few nice restaurants to the left of the property (beach side) and you can easily get a tuktuk into El Nido. Nice sunset but venture to the left of corong corong. Stay for the view for sure! It’s quiet and the locals are loving beach life too

PhilippinesWe hope we have met the owner 😔 so that we can tell her about he only but very important concern is the TOILET BOWL. 110% needs to be fix as soon as possible. Badly needed to be fix. Room #10 😔
The STAFF, they were all helpful, polite and customer service was awesome. The place is clean and the environment is relaxing. I give a rate of 10 being the highest to the staff. Chef is very kind and helpful too… the taste of the food as well as the foods that we requested are all delicious.

AustraliaSometimes water pressure can be an issue with the toilet. So there was some hoping it would flush every time you push the button.
For the price point it’s great. Clean ammenities, comfy bed, warm showers. But overall really great, you feel right at home the moment you walk in.

FinlandGood place at the beach. Surroundings are more calm than by the main road, and there are good restarants at the beach. The breakfast was OK. The view from the breakfast balcony is very beautiful. You can have a kayak or book a boat trip right in the front of the hotel. Air conditioning was good and nights were quite quiet (the hotel was not full booked, though).

United KingdomThe property was great, however the only small downside was that the shower drain was slow to drain which meant the bathroom had a lot of water in it, but this was very minor.
I very much recommend a stay at Sophias Beach House. While outside the main El Nido town, it is on the beach front of Corong Corong beach and therefore is quieter and more relaxed than the town which is an easy 15-20 min walk (much quicker by Tricycle) and has the majority of bars and restaurants (Food Truck, Rice8 and Big Bad Thai were my favourites). The room was spacious, clean and comfortable with reliable WiFi throughout the property. The room had good A/C and a fan. The staff are very friendly and happy to provide information about the area / tour. The breakfast was tasty and a good start to the day before the tours. There is also a water refill station. We did Tour A and Tour C with David John Travel and Tours as recommended by the property and they were great! The boats went from the jetty about 3 min walk from the property which saved walking into the town. I would definitely recommend a stay here if you are in the area and want to be away from the main town.

The staff were amazing! Thank you to Mark and team for being attentive to all our needs. First aid was readily available, room was clean and bathroom had high pressured water. You have to choose your preferred breakfast the night before, and they will serve the plated meal in the veranda on the second floor. They have snorkeling gear and aqua shoes which they lent us for free! We stayed in room 1 which had a great view of the beach 🏖️

PolandUnfortunately, the toilet sometimes was smelly (i think coming from the pipes)
The location is perfect, peaceful and with some nice restaurants along the beach. The sunsets are beautiful. You can reach the town with a 20 min walk. The beach is not really suitable for swimming (many boats) but you can rent a kayak directly at Sohias guest house and easily reach Papaya beach (a beautiful beach, not crowded and perfect for snorkelling and relaxing). The breakfast was good, you can choose from different options (milk and oats, toast and jam, or traditional filipino breakfast). I would suggest to include the option of yogurt & fruit (for example mangos, since we dont have these delicious mangos in Europe :) )

United KingdomThe hotel arranged transportation for us from Puerto Princessa Airport which was nothing short of a disaster. We met at the transport van at 19:30 and still hadn't left by 22:10, despite being reassured every 30mins that we would be "leaving soon, just waiting on another two passengers". The driver then advised that we would wait until 23:00 before leaving, as there was another flight arriving (hoping to fill his van). He was willing to leave earlier if all existing passengers paid more than the agreed price. Absolutely farcical and not the best start to the 5hr journey to El Nido!
Location was fantastic and the owner was very friendly!
