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...).

IrelandGreat clean hotels and property and very helpful staff especially ray he went out of his way to help. One thing I will say unfortunately it’s very noisy due to surrounding bars and hotels music until 12 am and noise from the road although it’s no fault to the hotel as it’s a central location.

United KingdomNothing really
The staff were so kind and helpful. Even when we were emailing before our stay, they were always quick with responses. The rooms were comfortable. Bathroom was a little small but not too much of an issue..I ddi not have any food but my friend did and she said it was pretty decent. Location in the middle of the town and whilst it may get noisy with the bars in the evening, there is a noise curfew so you can still get a good night sleep. Would stay there again, great value.

ItalyThe friendly staff. The room is bigger in enough, comfortable with everything you need. Also you can book a trip or tour and taxi straight with them at cheaper prices. Just in front you have a good place for breakfast and also to rent a motorbike. Easli, you can walk to the centre just 5 minutes.

The room was what you expect for the price. The staff was super nice and helpfull they even did our laundry there for just 120 PHP per kilo, which is cheaper than any laundry place in town, which was nice!

They staff is super sweet and warm esp Rey! He was sooo helpful in coordinating tours and our ride to PP. he always came to say hi to us every morning. There are drying racks set up outside that we could use post island hopping tour. Location! Close to everything - quick walk to the port to grab our tour and close to beaches.

NetherlandsThere is a loud music at night from the hostel next to it but it stops relatively early. If you struggle with loud noises it can be tricky but then again it is like this in the whole town.
Located in El Nido town, you can walk everywhere. The property is very well taken care of and super clean. Nice and very practical rooms with everything you need. The staff goes over and beyond to help you book tours and transportation to other areas of El Nido. Nice lounge area where you can relax at the end of the day and play board games. I felt very relaxed at Buldkamp Inn even if we were in the middle of crazy El Nido.

United KingdomTo be fair there was nothing that we didn’t like.
Situated just off the main ‘Walking Street’, the location is great if you want to be in the heart of everything. Our room was clean. The bed was very comfortable and it’s always a bonus when you get two pillows each we love that! Simple things ! There’s a very small fridge but it meant we had cold water, plenty of hanging space and some shelves. There’s two little side lights as well, which gave the room a nice ambience in the evening. The shower is electric so the pressure is never great, but it was more than adequate and the temperature was brilliant. They also provide hand wash shampoo, toothbrushes, and toothpaste. We didn’t watch the flatscreen telly but a nice touch. There’s a/c a fan and a torch for when the electricity goes out in EL Nido. Not something we experienced during our 3 night, January 2025 stay, but the provision of the torch indicates it’s not uncommon. Breakfast is served in the lounge area downstairs, which is really cosy. The breakfast consisted of a potato fritter like a hash brown fried egg some bacon, bread a bowl of fresh fruit and it was really really tasty great value for 320 pesos. There is a pancake option as well. They provide complementary tea, coffee and water throughout your stay which is great and the staff are really pleasant. We also booked our island tour from here and we were pleased to realise that the environmental tax we paid yesterday while diving could be used again today for islands hopping too. Rey, who has worked here for ten years, was a font of knowledge, great at providing suggestions for our future plans in The Philippines 🇵🇭 as well as offering an insight to El Nido and how tourism has changed the face of this destination over the last decade. Having stayed here, it’s somewhere that we would recommend.

Cute inner garden/seating area. Clean room with daily housekeeping, if required. The manager is friendly and very helpful helping with organizing tours.

United KingdomStaff were so welcoming upon arrival and throughout our stay. I remember the names especially of Rey and Tin Tin but everyone was great! The location was perfect for being in the town and close to everything. It was a bit loud at night due to the clubs etc surrounding, this is not at all down to the hotel itself, anywhere in town would be exactly the same. Tea, coffee and water self service 24/7. Room has the option of AC or fan readily available. Great vibe, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thanks!
