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 KingdomBreakfast very simple but did the job.
I throughly enjoyed my stay at Mina Grande. Small, basic but comfortable room. I upgraded to one of the two bungalows with a sea view for a small extra charge. Fantastic view and definitely worth the extra. Walking distance to restaurants and a short tricycle ride into El Nido town. A lot quieter than El Nido town.

United KingdomOnly complaint would be the noise of the air con
The staff were super welcoming and all round amazing! My boyfriend and I came down with some serious food poisoning(tour lunch), and staff ensured we were comfortable, arranged for us to get to a doctor, and even visited us with bananas to check that we were okay! As for the room, there was all you could ask for - comfy bed, working air con + fan, and a hot shower The location was perfect, very close to the dock for tours. Just a short walk along the beach and you’ll come across plenty of lovely restaurants. A quick tuktuk away from El Nido town for 100 PHP. I would definitely recommend Mina Grande and stay again :) Thank you!!

Mina Grande is just a great place to stay. The property is clean, located directly in front of Corong Corong beach where you can admire beautiful sunset. The location is very convenient too because it’s about 5 minutes walk to the pier where all the tours start. There is a coffee area in the garden where you can get free water and coffee at anytime. The rooms are tiny but comfortable, including a fridge which is a big plus to keep your drinks cold. The staff is just amazing, all of them are very kind, friendly and helpful. They could sort out an extra night for us since the ferry to Coron that we supposed to catch was cancelled on the day of our departure. Definitely 💯 recommend!

CanadaThe whole bathroom gets soaked including toilet when you have a shower. Need a shower curtain to stop it and also a squeegee for the floor as the drains are slow so water gets everywhere. Breakfast is either a friend egg inbetween white bread or one pancake and banana. Also no need to use waste plastic wrap on top of the plate. Not good for environment
On the beach. You can walk to numerous restaurants on the beach. It was quiet and out of the fray of EL Nido. Tricycle ride to town 100 pesos.

NetherlandsThe breakfast every morning consisted of white toasted bread with egg, a little more variation would have been nice!
Very good location, right on the beach (tip: rent a kayak from the owner). You could rent motorcycles at the property, do your laundry, etc! We were out of the busy city area and really enjoyed this - the busy part is very close but it really felt like this was a better spot to relax and enjoy the beach.

United KingdomThe owners of this property were good, but they weren’t very welcoming, every ask seemed an issue. Doesn’t hurt to smile and say hello to your guests every once in a while. Also, they weren’t great with communication, in the morning we had to go and find them to ask them if we could have breakfast. Another thing we weren’t best pleased with was that they didn’t once replenish our towels or bedding, or clean our room in fe on our 4 night stay. We aren’t fussy and will happily go with the same towel for a few days, but the towels weren’t the best quality and we really could have done with fresh ones. Our room after one day was full of ants, sometimes can’t be helped I understand but it was a downfall. The breakfast was small, but it was sufficient. I’m We weren’t happy with the children who lived there as we saw them numerous times chasing dogs away, and even scaring them off with a slingshot, throwing sand at them, pretending to hit them. It was quite sad to watch as no animal deserves that, the parents need to teach them better.
We liked the stay overall, our little cottage was looking out onto the beach and was so peaceful. The location was good, and some lovely friendly dogs came to visit us daily. The property had a hot and cold water station, where you could make a tea or coffee anytime, this was a lovely addition.

Breakfast was delicious though not a lot of variety. The staff were all fantastic - ready to help at any time. The motorbike rental was great, the tours booked were excellent, the location is perfect for getting a good night's sleep while being close enough to restaurants & beach bars.
