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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

NetherlandsThese facilities are great. The location is literally a stone throw away from the beach. The rooms are very small but have everything you need and are clean and new. I arrived late in the evening and there had been a hickup with booking.com so my first night the room was not available. This caused great panick to the staff who found me another place. They were very friendly and helpfull. The location is an interresting one. Sibaltan is an hours drive from El Nido but I didn't like El Nido. Sibaltan is a lovely small village where the people are nice and the diving sites are near. A lot of people come from EN to dive in Sibaltan so it's up to you to decide the location works for you. I practicly lived there drinking with the locals and stayed way longer than planned. Love the place!!!

HungaryThe heat is just overwhelming, though they have a fan and a ceiling fan as well, but it would be really helpful to have a little aircon or something (guess because of the solar power the options are limited though). Plus the room is really tiny for sure, even though it literally only has a bed inside (but yes, if you are in Sibaltan don't plan to stay too much in the accommodation, instead go around and explore, much better :-)).
The staff is really kind and nice. The location is just excellent, its only a few steps to the beach. You can literally hear the sound of the sea nighttime, and the gentle wind whistling to your ears. The locals are also really kind and helpful, you can easily navigate around by motorbike, they have a rental service in front of the accommodation as well. There are a few restos nearby too.

BrazilNote the cold water in the shower. There were many small ants in the room.
Really nice place! Amazing vibe, calm and quiet and the staff was really nice and helpful. It is very close to the beautiful beach of Sibaltan. The room is big and comfortable (note that we took the bigger room, the small one in very small). Except the ants the room was clean.

If you are looking for an escape from busy life to a simple, relaxing and tranquil place this is it. The staff is phenomenally helpful, pleasant and you’ll be greeted onsite consistently with a smile by Ms. Bhie. You will also get the experience of the linked sister location “Ursula’s Beach Club/Resort” that has an equally wonderful staff, great ambiance, food and one way or another entertainment. Plus as a bonus there is Ms. Gina Trex who is like a Superwoman that does anything and everything to make a guest stay comfortable, convenient and memorable!!!

LatviaNo AC so a bit hard to sleep at night. The 2 fans do work but the place lacks mosquito nets on the windows. The bed was a bit too hard. We stayed for 3 nights and kindly asked for fresh towels and some toilet paper that they never brought even after reminding. ‼️Do not leave your belongings outside as the place has no gates and a dog ruined our shoes.
Located in a calm, quiet village by the sea shore. You can hear nothing but the waves and crickets by nighttime. Spacious room with some storage spaces. There is a guard rotating by the property at night. The staff is kind and welcoming. Lovely outdoor seating, we did enjoyed it a lot.

United KingdomThere is no AC, it is just a ceiling fan, which is fine and does the job during the night but it can get quite hot in the rooms during the day and the electricity cuts out during the night (this is an island issue, not the resort), but the resort gave us additional free standing fans to help
The location is excellent, right next to a beautiful beach. The rooms are self contained and have a security guard during the night. The staff are excellent and so helpful. If there was an issue they went above and beyond to rectify it asap. The complex has access to and use of the facilities of the sister resort, Ursula which is beautiful. The food is amazing and you have access to their evening entertainment and kayaks, and they do motorbike hire

United KingdomUnbearable heat.
Quite fustrated we had to end our stay here earlier then expected due to the overwhelming heat in the room. The place is stunning and really tranquil, with a gorgeous quiet beach on your doorstep, and a lovely beach club 5 minute walk away. The room is equipped with a ceiling fan and a standing fan but on night one we needed to ask for another standing fan. It really didn’t make a difference, we both had restless sleep during our stay and that’s only down to the heat. If this was to be fixed we would be back in a heartbeat. I cannot give this place any lower then 4 because it really is a gorgeous place with beautiful staff.

ThailandWe agreed check in time 3 pm , but unfortunately my room wasn’t ready before 5:30pm . The ad states the distance between El Nido and the apartment is 18.5 km, in reality it is almost 40km. By motorcycle takes more than an hour riding.
