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.).

AustraliaThe stairs to the second level balcony rooms were quite steep so they may not suit people with mobility issues or heavy luggage (although the staff carried our luggage!). Also not for people who are not comfortable with insects, lizards etc. found in beachside jungle areas. Lots of local people selling stuff on the beach.
Great location, right on the beachfront at a top snorkeling spot. The rooms were as shown on-line - a bit jaded and faded but spotlessly clean and comfortable. The aircon worked well and there was a small fridge in the room. The bathroom had a a bath with a shower, not a separate shower. Lounges were supplied on the beach and snorkel masks and fins could be rented for a small fee. A flask of hot water, tea and coffee were brought to the room every morning. Breakfast was great - fresh fruit and delicious pancakes. Excellent value for the low tariff.

AustraliaRight on the beach at a great snorkeling spot. Great value for money, could spend all day on the sun loungers and snorkel all day. Food was great there. The accommodation is very basic, the small hotel is a bit run down but the aircon works really well and the rooms are spacious with clean bathrooms and a small fridge.

AustraliaHotel itself was great, little bit dissappointed in Amed itself, a footpath on the street needs to run right along the road to make walking easier, beach not the easiest to walk on.
Beach was great for snorkelling, room was excellent value for money, location was very good in respect to snorkelling.

DenmarkAs everybody’s problem, plastic may at high tide “attack” the bay. This happens, however staff of hotels are maintaining the beach clean (almost)
Located Directly at the beach in front of great koral reef - here you are swimming in colorful fish. The Blue Star have consequently been my first choice - the hotel is very well functional, great staff, the rooms I normally select are with sea view. It’s all old, charming and just like I prefer. Value for your good money

IndonesiaA minor detail but the sheets on the bed weren't fitted and kept slipping off the corners, exposing the mattress. The air conditioning units appeared to be working quite hard to cool the room and might benefit from a clean of the filters.
The staff, food and location were fantastic. The rooms are a little tired but spacious. I liked their interest in sustainable reusable items, and I was happy to see each room had a gallon water drum in it for refills. They used fabric serviettes and metal straws. They were right on the beach and it was so peaceful and relaxing there. Nothing was impossible for the staff, they catered to our food requests and helped us celebrate a 16th birthday with cake and song.

United StatesDarmi, Emi and their staff were so exceptional. They became our family. This is like a 5 star resort with budget accommodation cost. We felt like royalty and loved our stay. The food...everything on the menu was wonderful. We did not have anything we didn't like and we tried everything on the menu because we were there for 8 days. This property is a find. The best snorkeling of our lives just steps from your room

Staff were warm, welcoming, helpful and the food was simply DELICIOUS! Morning snorkel and evening swim were the perfect way to start/end my days.

AustraliaThe access is awkward and a surprise if you’re not expecting it. But really not a dealbreaker. Everything else more than makes up for that.
The attention to detail was so impressive. Tea/coffee making and flask of hot water delivered to your balcony before you wake up. Mosquito coils and candles kit made up and ready to go (not that we saw even one, but they were prepared). Hugh room and bathroom. The location couldn’t have been better. Amazing reef literally right in the water in front of the hotel. So many different types of beautiful fish! The hotel even hires out GoPro and will send you your pictures. Great food served for all meals. Wonderful staff. Staff can organise any kind of activity you may want.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time at Blue Star. Darmi and the staff were really helpful, honest and friendly. The location was perfect for families travelling together. Basic but comfortable rooms with good sleeping arrangements and large balconies overlooking the ocean. The large water dispenser and fridge in room, and make your own Bali coffee brought to the balcony each morning was great. Good restaurant and loved the included breakfasts.

We booked Blue Star for the snorkelling location, were not disappointed it’s right out front just a few steps. Had ocean view room, simple clean and comfortable. Love the coffee delivery on patio every morning. Addicted to pineapple pancakes for breakfast. Every meal we had was good. Walk out to beach early morning turn left head around the point and you will see Agung in full glory. In the evening head up the hill behind Blue Star to Joli Best View for lovely sunset with a cold beer. The staff are lovely. Special thanks to Darmi and Iluh for making our stay so welcoming. If you have time add Lahangan Sweet to your stay, either sunrise or sunset it’s well worth it.
