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 reviewOur stay at David’s Guesthouse was great. It was easy to locate and the staff even allowed us to check-in early since the room was available. Our 5 days stay was comfortable and they even helped us arranged a smooth tour. It felt like home and the staff were very welcoming. Location wise since it’s just a few streets away from the beach and restaurants. Also, the place is clean. Will definitely book here again if we come back to El Nido.
The staff and the location.
Thanks so much po🤗🤩 See you again🤗

Verified reviewIt has all the basics when staying on a tropical place. Great thing about here is it’s close to all restaurants and meeting place for island hopping. However, AC was a bit loud, bathroom can be improved and just need a wee bit quieter on the cooling system including fan.

Verified reviewYou get what you pay for. This place is very well located you will find cafes, restaurant and bars just 3 minutes away. The owners are very friendly and will help you with tours and other bookings, in our case they helped us booking the van to puerto Princesa. We checked in earlier even when we only wanted to leave our luggage, the room was ready when we got there. Last day we checked out early in the morning but they allowed us to use the shower in the afternoon before we left El Nido.

Verified reviewGreat little home stay run by a very friendly family. Located close to all the action in El Nido and good value for the price. Small but manageable rooms. The hosts were very helpful when it came to arranging day trips and excursions.
Having A/C was great, however it was quite noisy at night and did leak directly below the unit, wetting my luggage.

Verified reviewIn the city center but really quiet and clean. Bed is confortable. The host are super helpful. We had to book 2 other nights because we were stock in El Nido because of bad weather, they find for us an other room. They also offer us some fruits.
We figure it out that the price for the other accommodation was 300php less so 600php per person per night for a bigger room on the first floor and only 5min by walk from the first accomodation. I recomand to go there. Next to Rodriguez lodge.

Verified reviewUnfortunately upon arriving at the homestay, there was an issue with our booking on their system so we were moved to an extension homestay 5min walk away. This was fine, the room was very spacious and the breakfast every morning was gorgeous. Really friendly homestay, everything was available for us. The AC was great.
The shower didn’t work, this was a slight inconvenience especially with it being so hot. We had to use the tap to wash.
