Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesApparently when we get there had to switch us over, to another location, due to the Typhoon that previously hit. The room they gave us was near an open area, not so pleasant.
Great location and very near where the Tours to 100 islands starts. Room was pleasant. WIFI and AC, excellent. Staff was very attentive.

United KingdomNeeds a sign for the property. A horrible smell constantly came from the bathroom. The shower is awkwardly positioned right over the toilet with next to nothing water pressure coming from it, but at least the water was hot. Need to provide more toilet roll.
An excellent price compared to most hostels around. Great for backpackers for a couple of nights. Your paying the most for the excellent location. It’s right in the main strip of town about a minute walk from the ferry port and a minute walk from shops/ restaurants and the beach. The room itself the bed was comfortable with clean sheets and bedding. also the owner is super nice and offers laundry clean, motorbike rental and tours.💕💕

RomaniaMy issue was with the sound, you had paper thin walls so you could hear everything even frok the neighbours, also you could hear rosters in the morning and in the night so if you plan on sleeping late, it's not the perfect stay for you. Also bring your own soup and shampoo cause you get none. It,s not the cleanest place and the shower is basically right on top of of the toilet so it's a bit tricky to shower. The acces to the property was a bit tricky to find as it' on an alley so i had to search for it for a bit.
It was a almost fair value for money, i had ac and two beds even though i was traveling solo. I had enpugh space in the room to do anything i want and not feel like i run into a wall everytime i turn.

SwitzerlandHard to find as there is no sign. The walls are very thin, so you can hear other guests talking. But if you go to the center you know that there will be noise. So it wasn‘t a big deal for me.
It‘s in the center so everything is very close. The owner is really nice, caring and helpful.

GermanyUnfortunately the AC is not the best. It is really loud, even with earplugs in at night and the settings are not convenient. It is also worth noting that there were a couple of power blackouts within our stay.
The rooms are clean and look closely similar to the pictures. The host was really helpful and available. Check-in and check-out were flexible. The location is perfect to explore the Center of El Nido.

PortugalThe house offers 4 rooms. We stayed in a room on the 1st floor which was quite big but had 2 major problemas: extremely hot and no water pressure at all. The ac is an old machine and makes way too much noise so we couldn’t sleep with it on. Then we moved to a room in the ground floor as we decided to extend our stay. Much cooler room but bathroom had plenty of bugs (small cockroaches).
Location is definitely the biggest highlight, as it’s right in the centre of town but without being it in the Main Street.

AustraliaThe property was a bit hard to find. The bathroom was extremely small and the entire apartment evidently experienced some severe mould problems. However the worst part was that the air con for our room was connected to a back room where some people resided. Thus meaning that any smell that was created in there (e.g smoke) would fill our room. It was quite unpleasant to wake up to the smell of cigarettes.
The hotel was in a brilliant location. Right by the port and in one of the best shopping/food strips of el nido. The staff were very useful

PhilippinesThe location was messy and very noisy. You can hear construction work, surrounding neighborhood noise, and even the staff talking loudly. It looked good in the photos, but the actual place was disappointing. I had to rebook another accommodation and chose not to stay there.
The place is budget-friendly and suitable for backpackers. However, I wouldn’t recommend it for travelers looking for a more comfortable or cozy stay.
