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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

United StatesThe staff were great, very friendly and helpful. The restaurant at the resort had really good food and preferred it over restaurants in town. We stayed in the Grand Villa which was perfect for our family of 7.

AustraliaThe pool could be a little cleaner. The island hopping tour company the resort uses was good but not the greatest.
Small quiet resort with beautiful view. Sea view cottage with private sun lounge was great. Clean well presented room. Lots of space inside and outside. Friendly and helpful staff. On-site restaurant has good selection. Great spot to watch the sunset. Easy walk along the beach (at low tide) to nearby restaurants as well.

United StatesNothing, the resort exceeded my expectations.
The property was beautiful and felt private because of all the foliage everywhere. The little restaurant next to the beach was excellent. The restaurant was very accommodating and would let you order the night before for breakfast available before their scheduled opening the next day (if you had a scheduled tour or scuba diving trip). The food was fresh and always included fresh fruit. The yellow watermelon gazpacho soup was exceptional. The pool was warm and clean and made the heat manageable (it was 90+ most days). A good PADI scuba shop (Tabanka) was 100 ft. down the beach and their dive outrigger boat was moored out front.

AustraliaI would have rated this property a 10 except the staff totally messed up my laundry. It was still soaking wet when I checked out even though they said 24 hours earlier it would be ready in time. Had to cart a bag full of wet clothes back to Manila.
Gorgeous location, cosy and romantic bungalows, peaceful. Small and intimate with lots of character. Great pool and setting. perfect for Sunsets, sunrises etc. Loved the outdoor Balinese-style shower. Not far from town but it feels like you are on a private oasis miles from anywhere.

Super friendly staff, very good à la carte breakfast. Room was clean and they made an effort with special breakfast, nice room decorations and even a bottle of wine for our anniversary. Nice 30 min walk to town, mostly along the beach where there are many bars and restaurants.

SwitzerlandFood sometimes was bad
I can only recommend this small yet beautiful resort, that provides great view of the ocean and in the same time hospitality as you are staying in your own house. The staff were very responsive and every detail was up to the highest standarts. They organized on our request an exchange of vows, although they were not providing this service, and the venue and the dinner after were exactly as I pictured it, even more beautiful. The only negative comment I have is about the quality of the food, although we could see that the chef was going beyond to prepare the meals, the sauces were delicious and the presentation too. However, the ingredients were not of good quality, the meat for example, and I was missing more fruit, if I compare the resort with other there. So boss, do your part to match the price :) . However, overall I would stay again in this amazing hotel. Thank you for everything!

NorwayCorong corong is not the nicest beach and it wasn’t really a place to sunbath at the beach. Maremegmeg beach was much better if this is what you want. It didn’t really bother us to much as we were island hopping and doing other activities most days. And maremegmeg area is not far to walk if you want to spend the day at a nicer beach. As for the hotel itself we have nothing bad to say.
This hotel is in our opinion even nicer in real life than on the photos. The room was super clean, comfortable and with great atmosphere. You have the comfort, but still feel in one with nature due to the design of the room and the outdoor bathroom (which was supercool and very clean). The service is excellent and the staff was always so helpful. Room service was free of charge so you could a enjoy breakfast in your room or outside your own room at the terrace. The breakfast and food in general was also really good. The bar/restaurant area is nice.

IsraelWe ate dinner at the resort’s restaurant the service and atmosphere were great but the food was average.
It’s a very intimate place which is exactly what we looked for (there are only a few cabins). You have all the facilities you need for a perfect stay and a private beach where u can enjoy El Nido’s beautiful sunset. I must mention the staff , they were sooo helpful with everything and extremely nice. If we come again,we definitely choose Buko again.
