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 KingdomAs per other reviews, the electricity is rarely on apart from between 6pm and 11pm. The plug sockets in our room were just about useable when the plug was propped up with something under it. There was a shower head in our room but the pressure was so low it made it next to useless so we used the cold water Filipino style bucket shower which is perfectly practical in the heat.
Beautiful bare bones stay near Sibaltan - booked to be away from the hustle and bustle of central El Nido. The huts here are very basic, comfortable bed with good nets. Beautiful view from the table and swing outside the room, which is open to the elements. This stay matched our expectations based on the other reviews and descriptions- provided you are ready to embrace a fundamental standard and unplug a bit it's a great place to stay and relax. Travel cost around 2000 pesos each way from el nido proper in a car - we were quoted slightly less for a tuktuk.

AustriaWalk careful after your shower, tales in the bathroom are very slippery Not all the food at the restaurant is always available, we tried to order pizza for dinner and it was sold out and for breakfast the veggie wrap wasn‘t available, especially when you are vegetarian it can be frustrating
Great for relaxing, we just stayed one night and it would have been nice to spend another night there, they have a nice garden and the view is great The staff was so nice, friendly and helpful It’s a basic accomodation, but close to nature and clean (if it’s windy it can get noisy at night, for sensitive sleepers i recommend ear plugs)

AustraliaHonestly, I was happy with everything except that when I arrived I had a lot of bags and needed help but the reception area is up a lovely staired pathway so nobody knew I was down there needing help. It would have been nice if there was a bell with a sign at the front gate to ring for assistance.
I loved the traditional style huts and the eco-friendly design. Please note, don't book eco-friendly accommodation if you're not willing to accept solar energy time-limitations and binning your toilet paper if you must use it. Electricity might be limited so bring your battery. Hand held bidets are provided as a primary means of cleaning yourself after toileting, and toilet paper is available but you should not flush it to avoid over-loading the sanitation system. I chose this property because it had the beautiful traditional style huts and because it doesn't leave a big eco-footprint. I was so impressed by the entire venture as it's quite remote from the nearest big town of El Nido in a remote rural area yet it's well staffed and established. Please note it's about an hour's drive to El Nido, but only 15 minutes from the San Fernando Shipping Port at the top of Palawan Island. I hired a scooter and paid extra for the scooter hirer to meet me at the port, but if you are not driving yourself you should book someone to help you. There are no rental scooters at the San Fernando Port. There are gorgeous traditional style huts on the property in varying styles, and the gardens and facilities are well maintained. The view from my hut balcony was over the bay and hills in the distance and there were information posters to help understand the facilities. The main bar restaurant area has internet access with various activities available, including snorkeling, a firefly tour and relaxation massage. I booked a one hour relaxation massage by a trained local practitioner and was treated in one of the gorgeous treetop huts. I felt like I was in a movie scene. So beautiful and relaxing. I had to drive to El Nido for an early flight when I departed. The staff and property guard planned ahead to help me when I left very early, which was very kind and thoughtful and appreciated. I had good access to Google Maps.

PhilippinesThere is no exact time the power will be out. This is not for those who are working from home while travelling. There are times water is not available on the rest room.
The property is perfect and quiet if you want to relax. The sea view is perfect too and makes a good morning when you wake up. The short walking distance to the beach is convenient.

Wonderful little cabins with an amazing view on the bay at sunrise. It was just great to sleep surrounded by the sounds of nature. Also very close to the beach.

SpainNOTHING! Everything was so good. Things to consider: -WiFi only works in the restaurant but it’s great for a little detox! -Be ready to shower in a Philipino way! (We learnt to love it and actually miss it now) -Shared bathroom but always really clean!
Perfect place to relax! The location is great if you value peace and relaxation, away from busy el nido. It is close to Sibaltan and 5-10 minute walk from the beach. You practically have a private beach for yourself if you walk towards the right. You can see the sea from the garden. We stayed in a little bamboo hut which was lovely and very cute. The place is so well looked after! Such a magical environment, very green and loads of different types of plants. The restaurant is also good with some veggie option, quiet and relaxing . Everyone there was so respectful, easy to have a peaceful meal while enjoying food and nature or perhaps do some work if you have too. Everything is very simple but just fits perfectly with the vibes. Staff is so so so nice, they made sure our stay was perfect. If you are lucky you can see stunning sunrises from the beach. Close to Sibaltan there are places to go diving and kitesurfing. You also need to try La Carinderia if you stay here! It’s very close by (15 minute walk through the beach) Food there was so delicious and the fish very fresh.

PolandNo station with water/coffee/tea as most guest houses in area do however they do re-fills of bottles for 10 pesos which is very affordable.
This was our best stay in area of Northern Palawan, the view and design of the Erlittop Garden is great. It was clean with accessible and well working toilets. The price to value ratio was also really good and people working there were very friendly and helpful. They also serve some food (which is good as there are not many options around). Really good common areas to sit during the evening. It's definitively the best place to stay in the area of Sibaltan

It had an awesome view of the beach and was the perfect spot to catch the incredible sunrise every morning. Thanks so much for an otherworldly stay!

NetherlandsIt is noisy in the early morning due to cocks but this is an issue in the whole island I think. Breakfast was
What a beautiful place! I fell in love with the photos and in person it was even better. It is a small paradise after you pass the busy areas of el nido or coron. Just nature, sea and forest view, a short walk to a beautiful beach. They have a restaurant with breakfast, lunch dinner and laundry service. We enjoyed our stay a lot and loved each room we stayed. We would definitely go back and recommend to anyone who wants to connect with nature and relax. We suggest also to have a meal by the beach at Rositas, very nice family and delicious food

New ZealandWe got bitten constantly by mosquitoes! Even though we used the mosquitoe net around the bed, had the fan on, lights off, used citronella candles we got bitten badly. The water would suddenly stop coming through the taps, but the staff were great and pumped water to us.
Erllitop is set in a quiet eco environment, it's peaceful and calm. The ocean can be seen from the bungalows. It's beautiful ❤️.

United KingdomNothing. It was an great stay for us.
A quiet and relaxing place to stay. The staff are so friendly and they have 2 very cute puppies on site too. We really enjoyed our stay here and were made to feel very welcome. They organised our island hopping excursion in El Nido and motorbike rental. Definitey recommend for those who are looking for some escapism from the towns. The rooms are also very clean and authentic. You really are sleeping in nature. They have a restaurant with quite a few options which are good. We really enjoyed the veggie curry! Just so you are aware, it is quite a drive from El Nido, hiring a motorcycle helped a lot but it is a good 1hr drive away from most of the tours and good restaurants. Also, they are on a water shortage as no rain since December so you need to be mindful when taking showers. 👍
