Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Our room was at the front which we found very noisy late at night and early in the morning with the sounds of motorbikes and tuktuks. Maybe if our room was not facing the road it would have been fine. Our bathroom floor was always wet as the shower drainage is not great. Wi-Fi was ok.
Staff were lovely and helpful. The place is kept clean and shoes must be removed before entering your corridor. The location is good in terms of being close to shops, restaurants, the beach etc. with tuktuks easily available.

The shower doesn’t drain properly so you end up having to walk in an inch of shower water to use the toilet, even the morning after

The private bathroom is located outside the room, it was quite small and rusty. FYI : Our third night in El Nido, we went to another hotel that was cheaper and nicer (location was the same).
Location is very good. Bed was good and AC was quiet.

location for the city center is ideal. it’s basic accommodation so don’t expect any luxuries. the lady from reception helped me organize the van to el nido so I didn’t have to go to the bus station.

As there were power outages while we were in el nido, there was only power at some stages throughout day, which sometimes didn’t include AC. So room was quite warm, and also there was no hot water. This also seemed to effect WiFi as it was intermittent.
Location is good - very central. Breakfast is simple but tasty. Staff are very friendly. Free water dispenser.

The room was a bit small, the water pressure wasn’t great, the address on booking lead us to another palce, the full name of the hotel doesn’t appear on google maps, we found the place only when we searched”bunakids” without the word reddorz witch was a bit confusing. It wasn’t very clean.
Nice place, shower had hot water and the bed was comfortable.

When we arrived we weren’t sure that it was where we were staying as it is on top of someone’s home. There were ants all over the shelf and wall by the door so we couldn’t leave anything down or they would swarm over it. The bathroom was not in the room it was down the hall, a wet room so when showering you would stand at the toilet and sink, no shower curtain.
Brilliant location, right in the middle of everything! Walking distance to all bars and restaurants. WiFi was good. Staff were friendly and good aircon in the room

When we arrived, there were preparations for a funeral downstairs. We didn’t think much of it at first because we thought its a family thing and tried to respect their privacy for them to grieve. So we left for the day and when we returned from dinner, little did we know it was a open casket funeral service happening downstairs with over 50-100 people. May their soul rest in peace and my condolences to the family. If something like this was taking place they should have notified us and we would have cancelled our reservation and booked another place. But it was an uncomfortable situation to be in. We went to a cafe in the middle of the night and tried to find another place to stay the night but there was no vacancies in the vicinity. Tried to get in touch with booking.com but they returned to my messages 24 hours later and they were no help. The phone numbers available to us no one picked up. So we had to return, we had trouble sleeping the night because of all the noise downstairs from all the people. For us it was a really bad and uncomfortable experience.
