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 review- Spacious rooms with comfortable beds. - Lio Beach is right outside the hotel. - Many restaurants and bars near the hotel. - It's quiet and peaceful. - Nice and helpful stuff. - Close to the airport, plus free airport transfers.
- Hotel is very nice overall, but in my opinion rooms need a bit of renovation. There was mold, the shower had low water pressure. - Poor communication before arrival - hotel rarely responds to emails, messages or calls, which for me was stressful, since our ferry from Coron to El Nido was cancelled and I couldn't get in touch with the hotel. - Breakfast could be improved, not much choices for people used to Western style breakfast. - Staff is very friendly but service has flaws - empty soap dispenser, missing towels, and getting a call few minutes after checking in, asking what time I want my airport transfer when I'll be leaving (which was in 3 days). I don't think many guests want to think about leaving right after they arrived. - Far from El Nido town (300 PHP tricycle ride). I think the hotel could think about organizing free transfers, which would be very helpful for the guests. Overall, unless you want to stay in the hotel/beach most of the time, I’d probably recommend getting a hotel closer to the town. For me, the price is a bit too high for the standard of the hotel and it's mostly worth it for Lio Beach.

Verified reviewThe staff provided world-class customer service from beginning to end! Kudos to Huni Lio’s management and staff for having their daily operations run like a well-oiled machine. Every staff member consistently made you feel truly special and valued. They are professionals who went above and beyond in making sure you have a wonderful vacation while staying at their property. The entire property is beautiful, clean, modern, and crisp. The restaurant has a great menu and on occasion even accommodated quite a few dish requests that are not on their menu, at no extra charge! They just based the prices on the most comparable items in their menu.
BOOKING.com FAILED US. Booking.com did not provide us the correct information about the accommodations. We were a group of 7 individuals (2 couples + 3 solos). Booking.com insisted us we NEEDED to book 3 rooms, as follows: 1 Queen room = 1 queen bed + 1 twin bed plus 2 Family Rooms. Each Family Room = 1 queen bed + 2 twin beds. I questioned Booking.com about their 3 bedrooms recommendation 3 times on 3 separate phone calls because looking at the configurations, it meant we only needed 1 Queen Room and 1 Family Room to accommodate our party of 7. Booking.com told us the twin beds were only for little kids which is why we had to book according to their recommendation. Upon reaching the resort we learned that the twin beds were regular sized and can be used by adults! Each of the 3 rooms we were told by Booking.com we NEEDED TO BOOK had the following EXTRA 4 BEDS: 1-2-1!!! Upon check-in we were told we didn’t need the 2nd Family Room but it was too late for us to cancel. Booking.com SCAMMED US into getting a 3rd room that we didn’t not need!!!

Verified reviewThe hotel is located on a beautiful serene beach away from the hustle and bustle of the town of El Nido and the surrounding village offers several good restaurants. It's just 5 minutes drive to the airport and 15 minutes drive to town. There can be good surfing right off the hotel beach at a couple of close surf breaks. The staff is very friendly and helpful and I would definitely consider staying here again.

Verified reviewI would highly recommend Huni Lio to my relatives and friends if they plan to go to El Nido. The location is near Lio Airport (El Nido Airport) and they have complementary airport pick-up and drop-off. There are other restaurants / establishments nearby, but far enough for you not to hear the noise when you're inside your room. The room is cozy and spacious. Bath essentials, like toiletries and towels, are available upon request. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Overall, my relatives and I enjoyed our stay!
Breakfast choices are limited and repetitive, like the juices. The food would be too salty or too bland on different days. During our stay, there was an on-going painting maintenance at the pool area so we couldn't really swim because of the paint smell.
