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...).

SloveniaThere was no pressure coming out of the showers on the days that it had rained which made it hard to take a shower.
It is a gorgeous place with magnificent views! We got a little upgrade of the room and had a super nice host who took care of us, provided us with lots of information and made great breakfasts!! It is away from the hustle but still super reachable. We were able to rent a scooter everyday from the place. The owner was also very friendly, made us feel at home and arranged transportation for us to the airport. It's a special experience to sleep at this forest Camp - you feel way more connected to nature. Showers were perfect when it didn't rain.

Sri LankaShower rooms & toilets are a bit far from the camp (Accomodatation) area but everything else was perfect!
The check-in staff truly made me feel at home during my stay. Their exceptional hospitality was on another level—thank you so much! If I had the chance, I would have stayed even longer.

United Arab EmiratesGood hidden place. The view is nice from the room. Don't expect a lot of things in the room as it is a camping style set up. Just bed and a fan. Facility is very clean, toilet and shower are always clean. A bit of hike to the rooms, but we got used to it. 😅

United KingdomI mean the view alone makes everything worth it. The Host was so lovely and accommodating, he made us feel very welcome and had a lot of recommendations for us to go and explore. However, the fan in our room was lacking we did run very hot throughout the night, but otherwise a flawless stay.

The hotel is located a bit further from the city center, but that’s actually better because you can relax in peace and quiet.

United KingdomThere's nothing I didn't like
I really enjoyed my stay here. The location is wonderful, you feel like you're truly in the middle of the forest with El nido town just a very short walk away. You can escape the noise and just hear the sounds of nature. The view was incredible. I loved the simplicity of the facilities and huts, providing a more authentic experience. I slept very well and found the hut very cosy. I would definitely stay again and recommend it to anyone. The staff were so kind and friendly and I'm so glad I chose this accommodation. It's perfect for people who are looking for adventure :)

FranceI would say that you have to like this kind of experience, it is not a place to stay if you are looking for something confortable. The showers are not super clean (even if they are not dirty either) because the place is in the middle of nature, the room lacks furniture and we had some water leaks during a rainy night (but we changed rooms the day after). Be prepared to find more or less big geckos in your rooms and showers as well as other animals.
The view is truly amazing. Having your breakfast over the El Nido bay is really enjoyable. You can also watch the sunset from the rooftop. The huts are also nice and clean. The man in charge of the place was also very nice to us, thank you to him for helping us and for being that kind ! We also knew that there were a lot of stairs so we were not that bothered. Also, since the place is not right in the middle of the town, it was peaceful and silent, which was much appreciated.

United KingdomThe steps but that can be managed. If you can, leave your case at reception, just taking what you need. Take full advantage of the pick up service from the airport because most trikes don’t go up the lane.
The remote location and the views. The simplistic nature was brilliant and lying there at night listening to nature was wonderful. It’s a short walk to the town square and the cafes/bars are brilliant.

United KingdomOn a very hot day carrying our bags up to the huts was not so nice, and actually very exhausting. The nets on the beds were difficult to get into and popped of during the night so be careful.
The views and sunsets were amazing, staff were so friendly and helpful. The setting for the camp was beautiful. The town was only a 5-10 min walk .
