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.).

United KingdomWe didn’t have water / hot water for a few days each day, there’s construction going on next door which was the cause. This also meant it could be a bit noisy in the day. I think the price is quite high considering these points but we did enjoy our stay overall.
Very comfortable room, great bed and we slept very well. The bathroom is very modern and we liked the quieter location in El Nido with a beautiful view as you walk into town.

United StatesIf you’re looking for a place that just gets it right, this hotel delivers. It’s tucked in a quiet neighborhood where you can actually hear yourself think, yet still feels connected. The rooms are clean, modern, and built for comfort—think reliable WiFi, cozy bed, no weird smells. What really seals it is the staff: friendly, helpful, and ready to sort you out without hovering. Solid spot, no drama.

We loved this place. We booked last minute and its in a perfect location away from the busy town. Only a 5 minute drive. We were hesitant to book because of the other reviews about the crossing of the beach it was no problem at all but I do recommend renting a moped.

Austria- The location could be a challenge for some: due to ongoing road construction, the only way to access the hotel is by walking along the beach for about 100 meters. After that, there's a proper road. However, only motorbikes and tricycles can reach the hotel — cars and vans can't. Occasionally, during high tide, you may have to walk through ankle-deep water along that beach stretch. Tricycles may also be unable to reach the hotel during these times. High tide usually happens after 6–7 PM, but not always. - It can be a bit noisy in the early morning (around 7–8 AM) due to guests gathering for tours - you can hear people talking outside. - There’s no sheer curtain, only blackout curtains (though they said sheer ones will be added soon). This means that during the day, if you open the blackout curtains for light, people can easily see into your room. - The power backup generator doesn’t support the water heater, so there’s no hot water during a power outage. - The AC (Bostonbay unit) is slightly noisy. - In case of internet issues, note that mobile data reception is poor — it seems to be a dead zone for some providers. - Didnt like that they charge 500 PHP to the airport, when the tricycles at town square charge 300 PHP (get the number of one of them and write them via WhatsApp) Still.... Overall - Highly recommend !!!
- Lovely staff, speaking good English - Free water refill - Spacious room with AC - Comfortable bed and pillows - It seems they've listened to previous customer complaints about the bathroom stones — the floor has now been renovated (see picture) - Boat tours (A-D) and transport to other cities available for the same standard price offered everywhere - Free transport to the Townsquare - Laundry service available (affordable prices, same-day service at 85 PHP/kg) - Small terrace with plenty of space to hang clothes and towels - Quiet Location - Great internet (but not the Hutch Wifi, ask for the dadadidi 5G!) - They rent bikes for 500 PHP (fuel not included) - Very cute dog and a fluffy cat as a bonus - Power backup generator — useful during the occasional power cuts in El Nido
