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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

I was lucky enough to stay in Cottage 1, which is located right across from the pool and the sea. This hotel is very well located, outside El Nido and just a 5-minute scooter ride from the town center. The hotel staff are very professional and incredibly friendly. Everything is perfectly organized, and you have the chance to stay in a luxury hotel with only 20 guests, which guarantees extraordinary peace and quiet. I can only recommend this hotel, which, unlike other luxury hotels stuck on islands where you can't go out in the evening, allows you to enjoy El Nido.

United KingdomA little far out from el nido town centre - just to be aware but a quick tuk tuk drive.
Breakfast options were excellent and delicious. Pool was on the smaller side but sufficient and overlooked the beach. Room was spacious and clean. Bed came with a mosquito net. Bathroom was partially outside and big - very cool and unique but also warm. Staff were helpful. One of us fell really ill during our stay and the staff were there to help call doctors, provide medicine and help with transport to the doctor.

It's a beautiful resort, peaceful and quiet. The staff is very friendly. Breakfast was excellent with a restaurant looking out on the beach. The pool has a perfect size just to relax. The design of the room is gorgeous with good facilities and a fridge in the room.

AustraliaThere were two items they need improving. The floor surfaces were slippery, we had a number in our group who fell or slipped on wet and slippery floors. The restaurant had a great variety of food available but this led to long delays in food being delivered to table after ordering
The location was on a quiet location of El Nido and Corong Corong beach. It felt like a very natural rainforest oasis and resort in the hustle and bustle of El Nido. A perfect setting with the bar and restaurant overlooking the bay and the nightly sunset. The restaurant food had exceptional variety for all tastes. The rooms were exceptional in keeping with the whole rainforest theme. Bamboo construction and an outdoor bathroom a highlight. There is also a good variety of other restaurants within walking distance as well

United KingdomThe beach is not for swimming as it is very shallow and the water reaches to your ankles, but they have amazing beaches 5 minutes from the resort. We took trycicles every day and they are very cheap. We also went to beaches 45’ from the resort and they arranged the taxis for us too.
Where do I start. Such an amazing place. Exceeded our expectations. Photographs do not do justice as it is truly stunning. We booked the Garden Villa and it is so beautiful. Beds and pillows are extremely comfortable, and normally I have problems with them in other hotels. Staff are so welcoming and ready to help you with anything you need. We booked tours, water fall excursions, quads, everything with them. It is cheaper to book the tours with them that to do it with Viator or GetYourGuide. Food is amazing and they brought to the Villa every morning. Quite big quantities but we asked for less quantity the other days. We loved Ensaimadas and Pan de sal, that were not in the menu,but they brought it for us. The sunsets are truly amazing and the swimming pool is perfect as well and we were the only ones using it. Food at their restaurant is very good too. There are many restaurants walking distance but the resort is quiet and peaceful.

If you are looking for a relaxing, quiet vacation in a magnificent paradise... Look no further. Buko is the place for you. Buko beach resort was our first stop on our honeymoon. It's a beautiful and peaceful piece of heaven. The staff is amazing, always smiling, always positive, taking care for all of your needs. The room is clean and beautiful. The outdoor shower is so cool, it was private and intimate. The restaurant have a variety of dishes and cocktails. It was really good. We loved the pool the most. Located on the edge of the resort and on the entrance to the beach. It really was an unforgettable vacation which we really recommend for everyone. Buko was a great start for us. Hopefully we'll get back there in the near future.

The staff were absolutely amazing - super friendly and always ready to help with a smile. The location of the resort is perfect - very peaceful and quiet, but still close to El Nido. Perfect location to watch the sunset. You can see that they put a lot of thought, effort and craftmanship into building this place.

United Kingdom‘Sea View’ room was actually a view of the restaurant and then the sea beyond which was surprising and disappointing - and not as shown in the photographs. As we arrived we were told of construction work next door. This should have been communicated from the start. The cooked breakfast was pretty much inedible with hard, overcooked eggs. All a shame because otherwise I would recommend this hotel.
Perfect position on the beach (though you have to walk a long way for it to get deep enough to swim). Friendly, helpful staff and well designed rustic room.

This is Luxury at its best! You feel like you have your own private property, staff is always willing to serve, is a quiet, secluded area. Beach is roght in front of the property, pool is clean and never crowded. You can completely relax as the staff will arrange everything (at extra cost): airport transfer, Port transfer, trycicle, tours, meals, etc... Breakfast is delicious! Try Philipino breakfast, it is great!. You can also order aditional items (at extra cost), order Calamansi ginger tea, is the best sweat tea I have ever tried.
