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.).

IndiaThe only thing I was a bit unhappy about was that the water geyser only seemed to give hot water for a few minutes at a time and then you'd have to wait for hours for it to heat it up again. So our showers mostly turned to cold showers, instead of a nice hot shower especially after a day's outing. We did talk to the owner about this and he tried to check things - but given the remoteness of this place and Nusa Penida itself, it was understandably difficult. Only a very minor inconvenience in an otherwise outstanding stay!
Just everything about Mahaloka was amazing! The room/villa (stayed in villa number 10) was spacious enough, and was squeaky clean! The bed was so amazing! After long and tiring days of sightseeing, we just fell comfortably asleep in the awesome bed. Can't emphasize enough how critical a good rest is! The location is absolutely fabulous - sandwiched between the forest-laden hills on two sides towards the end of the narrow valley that eventually opens to the sea in crystal bay, and it is so secluded that you really feel peacefully cut off from the world! Having said that, the crystal bay which does get quite a lot of crowd is still just a little more than a stone's throw away! We did all our excursions arranged by the resort itself, and it all worked out quite perfectly. The best part of this resort though is really the people. Right from the owner to the staff working there - everyone is just so courteous and welcoming! We did some of our excursions with driver Jo and it was a real pleasure to have him take us around! The food at the restaurant is also finger-licking good. The breakfast if a bit light on choice for vegetarians - but this is really more of nitpicking. During our stay, luckily we had no-moon night and I have had one of my best ever viewings of the milky way from Mahaloka! It was mesmerizing. I will undoubtedly be staying again here in our next trip.

IndiaAs mentioned it's 900 meters away from Crystal Beach but those 900 meters is not a good path to walk, it's very quite and passes through a very silence trail
It nicely gives a feel of staying in jungle, It feels like you are staying in a valley and can see the stars and moon very clearly

United KingdomThe hotel is really far from restaurants etc. so you need to hire a car/motorbike or pay for a taxi to get anywhere.
We booked a twin room and really enjoyed our stay. The environment is very peaceful and quiet. The pool was nice, the beds were comfortable and the room was clean and looked after. The restaurant offers food which we tried on two occasions - the food was actually better than we expected based on the reviews but it probably does depend on what you order.

AustraliaThe water pressure from the shower is weak. The toothpaste provided is hardly usable. The breakfast can be improved (few options to choose from and only white toast available)
The staff are great. The common area is spectacular. The room is specious with comfy bed. The location is 10 mins walking away from crystal bay beach and 25 mins by car from the harbour. We also like the dinner at the on-site restaurant. The place is so quiet too.

AustraliaThe hotel is quite and tranquil. The staff are super friendly. The hotel is surrounded by trees and is very private. It is a short walk to crystal beach where you can swim and also get drinks and food. The hotel food pricing is good value but it was also nice to have dinner at the beach and watch the sunset. The bathroom has an exposed ceiling above the shower with is a lovely touch while still being private. It is worth noting not to forget to turn your bathroom light off at night otherwise bugs get attracted to the light. Not a big issue, but a lesson we learnt quickly. There is local farms near by so you do hear animals at times. We picked this hotel as it was away from the busy streets and allowed us down time to unwind and enjoy the island. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to explore and enjoy the island while staying somewhere peaceful and relaxing but still being able to walk to a beach for a swim.
