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.).

AustraliaMinor feedbacks: The AC in the second room we had was extremely loud. As a migraine sufferer, this was inconvenient. When we arrived, it was smoky in our room. We understand it is very common to burn rubbish here but the smoke lingered in the room for a few hours. The menu at the restaurant is very limited. They offer five options for lunch and dinner. You have to pre order breakfast for the following day which half of it were not available. I think for a growing accommodation like this, you need a fully functioning and skilled people in the kitchen. As a result, we’re often out to eat at other places. You’d have to leave your keys if you wanted your room cleaned which we were not told at the start. We’ve gone for days without our room cleaned. The day before we checked out, there were construction happening above us as they continue to build more rooms and make improvements. It made it difficult to rest during the day which was annoying.
The location was good. It is close to the Lio airport which is why we’ve chosen it. It is also away from the hustle and bustle of the main town. My kids who absolutely love basketball got to play with the local kids too nearby. The street comes to life at night, street food and all. Lio beach is close by (one trike ride) and offers a variety of restaurants. The pool, although unfinished, is still amazing. Rooms were clean and staff are friendly. We loved the vibe of the restaurant area and the garden too.

AustraliaThe restaurant was fairly limited in menu but some nice dishes offered. The music played in the reception was a little too loud and could be heard inside the room from early in the morning, and was the same 10 or so tracks played repeatedly.
Very comfortable rooms, friendly staff and lovely pool. About a 30 minute walk to Lio beach tourist precinct with lots of venues by the beach and is a great place to spend a day or two.

United KingdomThe location is a little way off the the main road and for the last few metres the road isn't concrete, so it's a bit rough in a tricycle, but other than that, nothing, it was lovely
The fact it's not in El Nido town and is very quiet , peaceful and relaxing. Incredibly helpful staff, spacious, clean room, with great aircon and WI-FI. Excellent food, thanks to a great chef Easy access to Lio beach, which is amazing. Lovely, natural Filipino vibe.

PortugalWe stayed for 2 nights, and left our key on the reception every time we left the hotel. Although no one came to clean or at least change the towels. The breakfast didn’t have many options.
The amenities were good. The room was clean and comfortable. The pool area was really nice.

MalaysiaThe hotel is located in a very quiet place, basically didn't hear any humming at night, and slept well. The staff were very friendly and gave me a lot of guidance especially when they knew I was traveling alone. The hotel is well equipped, and you can ask for a hair dryer at the front desk. If you are a person who needs a quiet space, it is very suitable for a small residence here.

SloveniaCleanliness of the bathroom, and room in general was not perfect upon arrival. Spider webs in corners, dirty toilet etc.
Staff is super friendly and helpful. They try to accommodate every wish. Although to some it would be a bad location, for us it was actually better than being closer to downtown El Nido. It’s 10 m ride to downtown, 4 min to Lio beach and airport. Nacpan beach around 20-25 min.

Marc is the best guy who knows how to take care of every thing, despite the lack of availability of food and drinks during the arrival of guests. He took care of us providing alternative way of meeting our needs like food deliveries, and additional information about el nido.

United StatesDid not like how the rails on the stairs are not open as plants are covering it so it’s hard if you are not completely able to get up and down the stairs. TV was not functioning.
The staff was very accommodating with our group. Whether we needed a car rental, a boat tour booked or even a jug to hold ice in, the staff was more than happy to help. The place itself had two ac’s that worked wonderful. Very comfortable stay.

PhilippinesI didn't like the insects/mosquitoes. Shower has no curtain. Complementary water bottles are given upon request. Room curtain had a lot of insects hanging around. Room doesn't smell nice or newly cleaned.
The surrounding and pool was nice, pretty inviting actually. Rooms were cozy despite the insects/mosquitoes. Breakfast was so-so, but it's decent. Staffs were nice and accommodating. Their dog (Shaiyan) is very welcoming too! :D

PhilippinesWould really love to rate this hotel higher but a few honest things to point out: -very limited menu and there no restaurants nearby -They are severely understaffed. The guy who works at the reception is there almost 24/7. - The floors in the room (at least the 3 rooms we stayed in near the pool) are very slippery! Even the floor and stairs of the main hall/dining/lobby. My father (70 year old) slipped in their room good thing he hit his bottom not head. I did several times. My baby did. The worst was my brother’s he was loading our van he slipped on the stairs of the lobby injured his leg. But THE WORST is the manager didn’t seem to care at all. Ive complained about these floors since we arrived. Did nothing. Said nothing. The warm ambience did not match their hospitality skills. Seriously needs to do something about their management and staff.
It is quaint and beautiful since its small you almost have it to yourself.
