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 reviewLocation is perfect, it had a spa literally next door and a supermarket for essentials which is like a minute away. Staff are really attentive and super kind.
The family room bunk beds, not ideal if you’ve got elderly parents. Beds for these rooms are quite hard to get in and out of.

Verified reviewWe booked a double room with J Boutiques. The location was at the edge of central El Nido town, a convenient 5-10 minute walk to the beach, next to stores and restaurants, but very quiet and away from the noise. The staff were extremely accommodating and kind; they offered to arrange us airport transport, let us check in as early as 7am, and arranged tours and motorbike rentals for us. The rooms are a bit smaller than other accommodations in the area, but very very well maintained and clean, which was our top priority. No windows in the bedroom but the bathroom is well ventilated and dries very fast. They offer daily room cleaning, unlimited drinking water and toiletries, and stable wifi. There was a short power outage but they had a backup generator to tide us over. There’s a large screen TV, comfortable bed, mini fridge, and safe for your valuables. Overall we extremely enjoyed our stay here, and would highly recommend J Boutiques to anyone.
The hotel is a bit older, so the walls are quite thin and you can hear people in other rooms and in the hallways. Of course, the staff and other guests were respectful so it wasn’t much of a problem for us, but just something to note for light sleepers. The rooms are very clean but the hotel didn’t offer some place to rinse off the dirt and sand from water activities, and we found a couple of tiny lizards sneaking around the room.

Verified reviewWe had a fantastic stay here — one of our favorites during our time in the Philippines. The room was incredibly spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with daily housekeeping that kept everything spotless. The location was perfect: close to everything we needed but still quiet enough to relax. The staff were also a highlight — always warm, helpful, and ready to assist with anything, from giving local tips to organising tours at great prices. It made our stay smooth and stress-free. Would definitely recommend!

Verified reviewWalking distance to El Nido town. The staff were lovely too. Ate Joy at reception was very welcoming and pleasant. We were offered a lift to the airport upon our departure - our driver was Kuya Tan who was also nice and outgoing. I highly recommend this hotel.
Nothing. I have seen some reviews regarding the size of the rooms but for me, the size of the room I stayed at was decent. Especially for a boutique hotel.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to leave a review! Thanks again for the recommendation, and we hope to see you again the next time you're in El Nido!

Verified reviewThey were incredibly kind people and helped us at all times. We asked them about different activities and they assisted us. One of our friends got sick, and they helped us with the doctors and everything. We felt really comfortable. If we go back to El Nido, we’ll definitely stay at this hotel again.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! It means a lot to us that you felt supported and well looked after during your stay. We’re really happy to hear you felt at ease, especially when your friend wasn’t feeling well, we were more than happy to help. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime you’re in El Nido!

The rooftop terrace was a nice surprise and a great spot to relax. The room had everything I needed, well-equipped and clean. The location is unbeatable—only a 5-minute walk to the beach and less than a minute to the supermarket. Super convenient for everything! Would definitely stay here again.
