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.).

AustraliaGreat and wonderful place to stay, the staff is fantastic, Christina leads a great team and nothing is a problem. Great price if you are looking for a nice clean place. They have a free breakfast upstairs every morning, what more could you ask for? Centre of the town with a 2 min walk to the beach. Thank you to everybody at the Laule'a hostel.

United KingdomValue for money was poor - we paid £20 for a ground floor room without a window. Coffee at breakfast was a cup of hot water and an instant coffee sachet. Room got very hot as it had no ventilation and was very small. Shared bathroom backed onto the kitchens.
Location was fine if you want to be centre of El Nido town proper. Breakfast was decent (pancakes or a fried egg on toast).

United KingdomDon’t feel the photos are an accurate representation of the place. The shower walls looked as if they hadn’t been cleaned in months. Our room was difficult to lock and where we thought we’d locked it someone walked in at 4am while we were sleeping..
Location, room was clean and could leave our bags when we went on a tour.

United Kingdomthe rooms are minuscule and have no airflow. they overheat ridiculously fast which is difficult since the air conditioning sounds like an anti aircraft gun. the room was clean but the rest of the building was disgusting. receptionists spend more time napping in the lobby than catering to guests
location is very central

CanadaThe window is tinted, but is facing the hallway, so didn’t ever leave the curtain open… but I wasn’t really in the room from morning until night, so no biggie. Lots of noise from the street and adjacent rooms, but I always travel with earplugs anyway.
I was a bit concerned about my stay after reading some of the previous reviews, but I actually had no issues at all and enjoyed my stay:) The location is great, minutes from all the restaurants and shops. the a/c worked consistently (one power outage the second night, but it was back on by the time I woke up and noticed, so turned a/c back on). Bed and pillows comfortable and always had hot water in the shower (was showering btwn 4-6pm most days). Breakfast was small but adequate. Water refills available from staff in the lobby. Christina was excellent, always friendly and helpful🙏🏼

Philippinesprobably the property can improve a lot a more in terms of their facilities. The rooftop for example it can be more aethetic as it gives you an amazing view of the town of el nido plus a windy effect to help you relax. I know sooner or later when we get back all things will change and I hope to get to see the improvements once again of the property. But in overall our stay was great and amazing 💕
The property is located at the center of the town of El nido. I like that it’s very near and accessible to everything we need and needed to do like booking of island hopping, we get to choose a nearby restaurants and a lot of convenience stores.

United KingdomNot a deal breaker whatsoever but a suggestion of maybe having a safety deposit box in the room for the more valuable items in a travellers luggage. Apart from that, we loved our stay and would definitely come again.
The location is central to all the local amenities in El Nido so is perfect. The staff were amazingly polite, helpful and always there if you need them. You can refill your water, rent bikes with helmets and get Filipino or American breakfast included here at the accomodation. The air con is an older style in the wall unit but still keeps the room at a nice cool temperature and is quieter than others we’ve had in the Philippines. Wifi was strong in our room which is ideal as we work online.

PhilippinesWell the space of our room is quite small but for its price it is quite reasonable. second is that something is leaking from the aircon in the hallway but they were able to take some action regarding it.
Honestly, we loved almost everything, from the location of the hostel up to the staffs and foods. It is very convenient and the service quality is superb.
