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.).

AustraliaWhen we arrived we had 7 rooms booked and were not given a key once checked in. Instead made to choose our own rooms and one couple were left with no room for a short period. Keys need to be handed to each person upon arrival and it is the luck of the draw to who receives what room in relation to where it is located in the resort. As long as each room that was booked has the ammenities and is the correct room that was booked, for example Deluxe Suite 35m2. In group bookings this needs to be done as could cause conflict in the group. Also one of the rooms had no air conditioning and when fixed had leaking water. Finally fixed after 2 nights of our 4 night stay.
View was fantastic and staff very friendly and helpful.

United KingdomNothing much! The only niggle would be a little bit of work is needed in the pool maybe, but it doesn’t affect the use or the quality of the experience.
The team were fantastic and couldn’t do enough for you! Location was secluded which was nice to relax but close enough to the town to be involved! The free shuttle was great and the property was fab!

AustraliaThe staff were very slow and overall service not very great. They wanted to charge 50% more for tours than all the other operators and also insisted on cash for tours or transfers instead of billing to room or taking card payment - inconvenient. Room cleaning could be better too - especially bathroom.
Great location, short work or tricycle ride to el nido town, far enough way to be quiet and isolated from the bussle. Superb sunsets, large rooms with good facilities.

Hong KongAlthough the pool is quite small, it did have a wonderful view of the bay. We had to be moved because the air conditioner spewed out ice, but the staff were very helpful. The TV didn't work. While the accommodation wasn't terrible value for money, it wasn't great either. Based on nearly a quarter century of travel in Asia, I'd describe the property as a 4 star charing 5 star prices. It also demanded 1/2 of the room fee paid in advance of arrival - the other 1/2 upon arrival. A novel approach.
The staff are wonderful. In particular, Irwin, May @ the front desk & Shaeonely & Shae in the restaurant. All were genyuinely warm and thoroughly professional. The quaint, on-demand tuk-tuk service from the hotel that went along the beach to the town square was quite helpful. The Hatch beef cheeseburger with caramelised onions has to be among the best I've ever devoured. It was astoundingly delicious. I had it two days in a row and yes - love was as great the second time round. The fruit shakes were great too! The bed was awesomely comfortable. We slept well.

Saudi ArabiaHorrible restaurant. Not prepared for kids and no flexibility. For example when there was no dish for the kids we asked for sausage, they ask us to pay like for full meal of super spagetti with sausage. Very expensive, no alternatives for kids. Other hotels would try to help that kids eat, and make adjustment for meal and orders for kids. This restaurant from the hotel is not flexible at all, and for adults many meals very oily.. we were not happy at all. They were taking advantage of us. Very expensive and not good, better to eat outside. Also shower very low presure and very small bathroom.
Very good location, close to town square where there is a lot of shops and restaurants. Room is quite big. Clean and well organize. The view and the swimming pool are really great! Nice service for tik tuk to the town square.

IsraelIt is a bit far from the city and you need to take a 5 minute toktok from town on the beach to get to the hotel. We did not know this coming in so it was a shock to us. The hotel does offer complimentary toktok rides and are super available to help.
The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The staff were amazing and helpful and the restaurant was very tasty.

AustraliaExcellent place to stay (March 2024). Found this by accident but was so good. Facilities are well looked after, staff are fantastic and they look to be continually renovating/expanding the resort. In-house free tuk-tuks between the main El Nido town and the resort. Meals and drinks were all great and the dining area is lovely and relaxed. Couldn’t more highly recommend this place to others wanting a great place to stay in El Nido 👌

United KingdomObviously lots of maintenance to do before fully re-opening post covid which was not reflected in the price . Need to be more honest about where they are in relation to this. No great access to a good beach which again was not on the website. We had a lovely meal in the restaurant. Breakfast was disappointing as was having to not flush loo roll away !! Bit smelly and not great to look out on concrete wall. Close to a graveyard and lots of stray animals. Having said that walking distance of el nido which was a bonus.
It was quirky and loved the idea of accessing only at low tide. Staff were lovely. The shuttle Bus was great.

United KingdomWhen it’s high tide they won’t be able to pick you up and not enough lights to go and walk back and forth the hotel to the main. No night life or entertainment in hotel itself.
It’s clean and the ambiance is relaxing. I love our room it’s clean and easy access to everything. I just wish breakfast is included on our pay . But overall it’s amazing and I would like to come back. I’m already recommending this place to colleague and friends here in UK and everywhere in the world as I did have an amazing time here.i have done lots of tours so not stay like a whole day in resort which I did regret as I didn’t use the swimming pool and seaside which I would like to stay more days but I can’t.

IrelandGiven the price they charge I was extremely disappointed with the standard of the accommodation. Firstly the hot water in the shower wasn’t working and then when it did the water pressure was very low. The room walls are paper thin and the room is consequently very noisy. The bed was quite comfortable but the standard of the room servicing was very poor. The bed was very poorly prepared each day. I believe the hotel was recently upgraded but definitely not the rooms.
The hotel location is fantastic because it has a wonderful view. The staff are extremely pleasant. The Breakfast is very good with lots of options.
