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.).

GermanyThere could be a bit more choices for breakfast. And in such a place I definitely expect more fruits.
Directly at a quiet beautiful beach. Perfect to relax a bit at the end of a long trip. Staff, especially Alex are very kind, friendly and helpful. Huts are basic but what do you need in such a place!

United StatesIt was very hot at night and the fans weren’t great, so it was hard to sleep. We also had barely any water pressure in the sink and shower except for the last night.
The location was beautiful. Very simple accommodation, but we expected that. We loved being in the little fishing village and walking right out onto the beach. The food was great!

Czech RepublicOnly one thing. And thats more like a Feedback for personel. Clean the insects periodicaly in the cottages. We are not used to seeing cockroaches and spiders. It can really ruin our stay. And for travellers! Be careful of Nik Niks (sandflyes) at the beach! They can ruin your vacation. They cannot be seen, and then the damage is done.
True tropical paradise with amazing people around.

United KingdomThe journey to the property really is a long one from the town. It is very safe but just very long. You do have to leave you scooter on one side of the river, cross the hanging bridge then walk through a small fishing village which could be daunting for perhaps some. The beach is a lovely walk but it has tonnes of rubbish washed up - you could bring a plastic bag to help collect some. Mosquito net is big enough but does have a few tiny holes. Sheets for bedding need replacing - TOP TIP just ask for another sheet and use both white sheets as the bedding.
The people who own the place are so lovely and accommodating. When we arrived, we were collected from the airport by a trike. We travelled both in normal roads and on mud/dirt tracks - it is a bumpy ride. Then, after this, we stopped by a river where the driver(the son of the couple who own the cottages) carried my case up the stairs, over the bridge and during the 2-3 min walk through the traditional fishing village. The cottage and the view are so beautiful. They have a tiny little bar which is decorated in pretty fairy lights. Room and bathroom are mostly clean for what it is - considering it is an outdoor, open air hut. Fan is strong and definitely enough unless you really don’t like heat… They arrange scooter for you at a very good price! They arrange Tours with lunch at amazing prices. People in the fishing village are so kind, friendly and welcoming. Ice cold beers are available for when you get in and there is a little rustic seating area with lights above for you to sit. If you are someone who only likes camping - you would definitely like it here. The showers aren’t amazing and it isn’t glamorous but a great experience. The stars at night are amazing! Lastly - it is a small cottage more like a big tent size. You have the space of perhaps a single bed to move around at the right side of the bed.

United KingdomMake sure you take mosquito spray and tiger balm for afters or your preferred choice of help if you are stung. Location was a bit far but if you like that you'll be fine Cost from el nido bus stop 1000 pesos there and back.
We loved the area around us granted not much to do but for the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. The room was idyllic and very cute. Not everyone's size wise but OK for us. They have a restaurant on the property which is great and a place further down but the beach is on your doorstep. The family were lovely and very supportive ❤

Hanging lines to hang wet clothes.the beds were just reight for 2 so dont bring any kids as the beds are not big enough.bigger rooms and bigger bed in the future.all rooms were only fan hope.there was an aircon room as well but maybe they are building one as there was one room under construtction. If you want plenty of choices for good restaurants nearby there is none here..but u can order from thw resort though. Free water only during meals otherwise u have to pay for bottled water. Bring ur own coffee they can provide hot water to drink too.
