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 reviewThe room was spacious for 4 adults and 2 kids. Our room do have 2 queen beds and a single bed. Even though theres no breakfast service offered, they do have a third party restaurant that can deliver food in your convenience. We usually get our food delivered at 6:30am because of our early morning tours. They also have purified water so you can refill you water bottles and make your own tea and coffee. The staff were very kind and they made sure all our requests were met. We booked an extra night but later during the planning stage, we figured out that we dont need the extra night so we asked if we can just use the payment that we did for the extra night for our airport pick up and drop off and for the extra person charge since our 4th adult wasn’t part of the original booking that we made. Their airport pick -up and drop off is from a third party as well. The one who picked us from the airport was prompt, very good and very helpful.
Their airport pick -up and drop off is from a third party as well. The one who was supposed to pick us up from nellies place was very late and the one who we communicated with was very rude (not a hotel staff but from someone from the taxi operator). The hotel staff just gave us the Php350 which was supposed to be for the payment for the taxi.

Far from restaurants. Not accepting early check in even there is no guest prior to our check in even i inform that i will be arriving early. So i had to leave my baggage and stay at the mall for 4 hrs when i returned there is no electricity i had to wait for 30min to 1hr before i can rest because i will leave early in the morning next day to go to elnido. I also wanted to book for my return as walk in but they insist that i book on fhe website. Ending i booked a diff accomodation which is nearer the airport and much better. Hope you can accomodate early check in of there were no guest prior so that we can rest.

Verified reviewGood location, 10 minutes from the airport. The owners are really nice and the room was brand new. Aircon and fun, comfortable bed and hot and chilled drinking water. We had problems during the storm, no electricity for a couple of hours and water for almost a full day but all Puerto princesa was flooded
On the AD there's a free airport shuttle but is not. As soon as you book they'll send you that you need to pay 300P extra

Verified reviewCheap and cheerful. Bed was comfortable.
The listing on booking.com was very misleading. The property is not where it shows itself to be on the map, but down a side road that’s dark and not within walking distance of anything. The listing says “a few steps from the airport” which is not true. We had to pay for a local tricycle to take us to the hotel because nobody responded to our request for the “free pick up”. The hotel staff did apologise and offer to pay for our tricycle the following morning which she booked. However, that tricycle never turned up and we were left waiting on the side of the road. There were no staff around at the hotel early morning to help us sort this so we had to walk about a KM to the main road at 5am to try and get a cab. We were lucky! However, it seems the offer airport pick-up to lure bookings but it’s not actually the case. The location is terrible with nothing nearby so we had to pay for tricycles to go to the store, go for food etc.

Verified reviewArrived at 8pm, nobody was there,ring the bell for 10 min and somebody came,said he have to change our bed sheets(at 8pm...),they didn't clean the room all dirty. They said that there is a free drop off at the airport and they asked for 300 peso. Mant mouskitos in the room, a dog was barking for hours middle of the night. Do yourselves a favor don't stay there.

first upon arrival eventhough there is a confirmation and accepted request for early check in, the room is not yet prepared at all we waited more than 1 hour just to enter our room, 2nd water interruption is consistent every 11am until 6pm there was no water at all and staff did not even told us that there is water interruption everyday, Lastly the staff should be train regarding there job and how to manage properly the work in there, there is no communication between the owner who is accepting the booking and the staff who is in charged to the place who is accepting the guest, and also the microwave it is very dirty.

Verified reviewGood wifi and AC
The water pressure was so low that I could not wash my hands properly on the sink, neither to take a shower (no water at all on the shower). They brought me some hot water in 40 minutes even if the lady said “in 5 min”. If for you 5 min means 30-40 min, Ok… Then the bed was not so clean. This property needs some improvements, if possible, avoid this.
