How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewVery clean and the host is very nice
It’s a bit far from the center so you should know that you will need to take tuk tuk every time or rent a scooter (very cheap)

Verified reviewThis was the cleanest place we stayed in all of the Philippines, hats off to the cleaner! Everything was spotless, the sheets smelt amazing so you know they are clean. The room was very spacious for 2 of us and done up very modern. Good kitchen facilities which you are free to use. Breakfast included was eggs and toast with coffee which you can help yourself to in the morning. The bathroom was also very clean and spacious, it is a shared bathroom but this was never an issue as you are only sharing with the host who is not in for long. She's very busy and hardworking, but also made time to get to know us and gave us lots of helpful tips and advice for el nido. The host gets a 10/10 as far as we are concerned! The assistant host (ginger cat) also gets 10 from us, so friendly and just wants a fuss so please give it a stroke for us when you visit. Very well behaved for a stray cat and doesn't follow you in to your room, just wants a bit of love
We only had 2 days here, wish we had booked longer!

Verified reviewExcellent location and hose helped to book a motorbike and van to next city. Thanks to her, this was very helpful for us! Also room was exceptionally clean - it think the most cleanest I have seen in Philippines.
Beds could have been more comfortable but that is minor.

Verified reviewWe really enjoyed this stay. The room was big, had a comfortable bed and the AC worked fine. Also the area is quite. The terasse has a nice view on palm trees and was in the shadow. The location is perfect since Vanilla Beach is only 5 minutes away. A small sweet red kitten was always with us on the balcony. Please take care of her when the owner is not around.

Verified reviewThe apartment is the best we have been in the Philippines. Big room with AC, very comfortable room, and so cute. The toilet is big, and the showers works amazing. You are in the middle of the nature. The kitchen is fully equipped and you can use it, so really useful when you want to cook. The owner is so attentive and was always willing to help us. Thank you!
The location is far from the center so if you don’t know how to drive a motorbike. You don’t have connection there and sometimes the wifi in el nido does not work (is not a problem of the house it is just a general problem)

Verified reviewClean, big, comfortable room with a lovely host. It’s minimalistic but really comfortable. Nice hot shower with provided soap and shampoo. It’s really quiet and peaceful here as it’s tucked away from everything. If you’re looking for an affordable place away from town within riding distance with a more local feel then this is the place. It would cost 150-200 for a tricycle but I recommend getting a motorbike/scooter and exploring the area. You share a bathroom with the owner and she is lovely and always up for a chat to provide recommendations. I still had privacy though so that’s not an issue. You also get free water refills in the shared kitchen too. Motorbike parking is free and accessible of course. Really appreciated having this room at this price point and I would definitely recommend it.
I had a motorbike so it wasn’t a problem, it’s 10-15 pleasant drive from el nido which I enjoyed every day and night. It’s down a little track that isn’t levelled out very well but not a problem for me.

Verified reviewThe property is nice and quiet, lovely place to read your book in the hammock, but it is further away from el Nido, so to get there you need a mopad. The owner is a lovely lady, she communicated with us so she would be at the property when we would arrive and rode us into to city to rent a bike! Made sure where fully accommodated!
I have a bit of a bad back the mattress is really soft, which I do love but your back could hurt in the morning
