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 StatesThis wasn't a problem for us because we expected it, but be aware that a taxi into the center costs 250 pesos.
We had an outstanding stay at El Nido. The staff were all incredibly kind and helpful -- special shout out to Edgar and Franco! The pool is lovely and relaxing. Nearby beaches are great, with significantly less seaweed than beaches in the center. Our room was comfortable and very quiet.

United StatesThe pool itself and the design of the area is very nice. The only seating though are hammocks (great!) and these big pillows on the ground. I'd recommend getting at least a few chair options because laying flat wasn't the most comfortable in all circumstances.
I think this hotel is exactly how it presents itself- a cool, well designed hotel in a quieter part of the island. Rooms are lovely, good size, AC worked well. Breakfast and dinner both solid. Staff were very nice and helpful with all questions and booking the whale tour and transfers to the airport. Very clean throughout. Would stay again!

PolandWhen we arrived after long and tiring trip, El Nido staff welcomed us warmly, saying that from now on, we will switch mindset to total rest and that's exactly what happened. Hotel is beautiful, designed with attention to detail and tribute to local nature. On-site restaurant serves very good food, pool is ultimate tranquility spot. Rooms were spacious and very comfortable. When AC didnt work due to limited power, fan was doing sufficient work to keep us cool. Brilliant spot in Holbox, will gladly come back

United Kingdomwe booked this knowing it was a little out of town, and it really is! Its a 20 mins walk into town (which isn’t that appealing when it’s hot!) or an easy taxi ride. On the plus side, it’s very quiet and close to the truly magical quiet beach, Punta Coco.
This is a brand new little hotel and it’s really lovely. the pool is small but lovely, the beds around it are comfortable and spacious, and our room opened up onto the pool deck (with a little swing). the AC was great and the bathroom large. Staff were helpful and nice and brekkie was charming and filling!

SwitzerlandThe location is kinda far away from the center and I sometimes didn’t feel safe to get there back by bike vy myself. I didn‘t like the breakfast that much so I got my breakfast out of the hotel. You can hear a lot through the walls.
The hotel is really nice. Everything was clean and same like the picture. I enjoyed my stay a lot. The receptionist was soso nice and helpful.

United KingdomMy partner and I had an amazing stay at El Nido. A really gorgeous boutique hotel, very well designed with great attention to detail. First class service with very accommodating, friendly and knowledgable staff who went the extra mile to make our trip great. The restaurant had just opened when we arrived, the food was really good. The hotel is 2 minutes walk to the beach - a nice quiet stretch with turquoise water and chilled beach bars, and some more rugged quieter beach spots too. Getting into town takes 30 minutes biking - but beware of the pools of water that can block roads. Taxi takes 10 minutes, and costs around $20. The centre is very busy - very touristy. Playa mosquito was our favourite beach.

The hotel is very beautiful, and the rooms are very comfortable and chic, and the staff were lovely and helpful. Great breakfast with fresh products. The hotel is a 5 min walk from Punta Coco beach which is great as you’re right next to one of the great beaches. Quiet part of the island and easy access to the centre with bicycle (which the hotel provides for free) or taxi. Would definitely be back. Yes there are mosquitoes but like in any other part of the island and it’s not an issue

Everything! The staff is beyond amazing, very attentions and friendly. The hotel is just as advertised. In a very quiet location, near Punta Cocos Beach. There's 1 restaurant nearby, a good pizza place just 10 minutes walking and 28 minutes walking you are in the city center. Carlo the dog was always around but keeps to himself. Overall a huge kudos to the staff for being always so attentive.
