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...).

JapanThe room we initially had (Room 109) smelled like molds or wet wood, it was a really bad smell. I have allergies with molds which made it hard for me to breathe when going inside and staying in the room. I had to endure this for 2 nights (I just wear mask when indoors) until I mentioned it to Kate who agreed to move us to a freshly cleaned room (Room 111) and it helped me sleep much better that night. Thanks a lot for the quick action on this. :) Please make sure the rooms are well ventilated all the time - helps prevent molds or provide air purifier for each room.
We enjoyed the pool and the nice vibes around it. The staff were very kind, accommodating, and really nice. The breakfast buffet is not much but they try to have a good selection daily. The hotel itself is very near Lio Beach which made it very nice to swim early in the morning.

United KingdomBoutique hotel no bathrobes, bar hardly ever open, no cushions in sun loungers (in case it rained) no meals/snax available in restaurant other than breakfast. Was quoted 1200 pesos for a tuc tuc to Corong Corong Beach, walked to road where it was 400 pesos
Location was perfect for Lio beach. Celebrity Suite was spacious and staff decorated the bed beautifully for our anniversary. Free afternoon ice cream, good price for tours, free airport transfer.

United KingdomThe place is abit tired and could use a facelift. Our balcony door on ground floor wouldn’t lock properly, television didn’t really work on our room, but my mums room was fine. It’s also a shame there’s no in house laundry service.
Lovely location, right on the beach and close to restaurants and bars. Breakfast was included and it was very tasty. The pool was really nice and big and the staff were extremely helpful. The room was clean and big enough for family of 3.

AustraliaPERFECT location on Lio beach, staff are super friendly and helpful, only issue stopping it from being a 10 is the breakfast , if you go between 7 and 8 it is packed and food is very slow to be replaced when empty, the food tastes good but the selection is very underwhelming and offering selections I would never had considered for breakfast , squid adobo , carbonara , they have an omelette station which is great but gets very busy , a couple more western food items in the selection would be perfect , overall its still a good breakfast and great place to stay

New ZealandA laundry service would be good. There is a laundry place 800 metres from the hotel but no pick up/delivery service, so walking in the heat is not attractive. No written information about services available in the room which would be helpful.
Location excellent, breakfast was good (Nice Omelets). Staff are helpful and friendly, nice pool. Generally a pleasant stay and reasonable value for money given the excellent location.

United StatesWe checked in late and front desk woman seemed annoyed. Our bathroom door locked (or got jammed somehow) and it took 2 trips by staff and about 15 minutes to get it open. Rooms were clean but definitely showed wear. Breakfast buffet was almost inedible but staff was nice.
We needed a one night stay near the airport and this fit the bill.

GermanyIt’s more on the pricy side compared to other hotels in El Nido and also relatively far from the El Nido city.
It was well-located, close to the beach and restaurants. The beach was also very clean, comfortable and peaceful. The hotel was also very aesthetically pleasing!
