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 garden area around the pool needs a little work to make it more inviting.
American breakfast so good we had everyday. We sat down and our cup of tea was there as soon as the girls saw us. They also knew how we liked eggs etc. it was really great. The staff were great you should be very grateful how hard they work from the cooks in the kitchen to all the girls in the restaurant to the boys who clean the rooms Great job

NetherlandsA little away from the main town and market. The 4-bed room I think is a bit overpriced for what you get. And some lack of maintenance as usual, as things deteriorate fast here.
Nice small resort, 8 small houses. Realy being away. Beautiful located on the sea / beach, in a line with other resorts. Very kind and helpful staff. Dolphin and snorkeling tour boats leave right in front, make reservations through the hotel.

United StatesThe facilities are a bit rundown and unkempt. It appears that the Starlight hotel was a quality development at one point in the past, but may have fallen on hard financial times since Covid. It needs a lot of maintenance and upgrading to merit a better rating. The staff on site were helpful while we were there, but a request I sent through Booking.com messaging the day before was never answered. I was wondering if anyone would be there when we showed up. My wife and I, in fact, were the only guests at the hotel.  there were jewelry and clothing hawkers walking up and down the beach and persistently trying to sell us stuff. I don’t mind it if they take no for an answer and move on. But some of them were very persistent, which is annoying. 
A convenient location on the beach near the village of Lovina. You can walk along the beach into town instead of taking the road. There are several warungs and cafes along the way. This is an area still lived in by locals and not highly developed for tourists. You get a feel for the real Bali. The lodging at the Starlight are two rows of little detached villas, with a sidewalk between them and a pool at the end. Some of the landscaping is labeled so you can learn about the trees they have planted, which is something I am interested in.

AustraliaBecause of staff cuts the poor people that were working there were a bit run of their feet. They did an incredible job though. Always very kind & would do anything for you. This is a simple hotel, right on the, water so I would definitely visit again.
This is a humble little Hotel which meets all basic needs. The bungalow was clean, the bed big & comfy, the pool looked great & the Hotel was situated right on the water. They were very accommodating with Breakfast for me as I am Vegan. The staff were lovely but unfortunately a little too overextended because of staff cuts. They did an amazing job & were always very kind & would do anything for you. I throughly enjoyed my stay as it was quiet & a little bit away but within walking distance to many restaurants, shops etc. Would definitely stay again.

SingaporeThe hotel is located on a very quiet spot right on the beach. Easy to grab a boat for snorkeling and to go see the dolphin. The service is super good. The swiming pool is deep enough to dive into it. Very relaxing stay

AustraliaWater pressure is very low in our room but I suspect that is likely everywhere here. Kitchen in family villa needs utensils.
Loved our stay here!! Staff were so friendly and made us feel so welcomed, we could’ve stayed here months!! Amazing location right on the beach. We stayed in 2 bedroom family villa which was super spacious, clean and comfortable. We had half board so breakfast and dinner was included in price making it great value and food was very good. Highly recommended and we will definitely return!!!!

United StatesThere nothing I didn’t like.
The staff were so friendly, so accommodating, very welcoming. They went out of their way to help us from planning excursions, keeping food in their fridge for us and serving it to us when we were ready. The pool looked cloudy and they immediately attended to it and soon it was crystal clear. We were right on the beach.

IndonesiaSome rooms, including ours was right next to the road which leads to the beach so was very noisy from 5am - 6am for people going on Dolphin cruises. Some days weren't as bad as others but if you are sensitive to it it is annoying.
The staff were lovely, friendly and helpful. The rooms were large and spacious Lovely pool area and gardens. Location was great to be close to the beach and some warungs and restaurants.

RussiaThis hotel has a thief among the staff. My friend forgot the white dress on the white sheet. We are 100% sure of this. But the staff told us they didn't find anything. How can you smile so good-naturedly and appropriate other people's things?

United KingdomWhen we booked the accommodation offered a TV with cable which wasn't included when we arrived, the pool was dirty and we couldn't use it but was given another pool which we could use which was a small walk away. Breakfast and the staff where great no complaints there. The bungalow was run down and needed work doing toilet seat broke, cupboard door didn't close properly and the door to the property didn't feel secure when locked.

CanadaHotel was probably a bit run down before COVID. After being closed 2 years with no renovation done it is more than run down now and in dire need of overall repairs. At close to 1M IDR per night, it is NOT worth it at all. Perhaps at half the price with a rating of 7. Aneka next door have similar prices but is in pristine condition. Leaky toilet at the base even with a fortune silicone repair done on our 2nd day. Yes black water leakage. Wifi broken in the room and pool area for the duration of the stay. TV not functioning Very leaky bidet causing mess in the bathroom Half clogged shower head Dried and worn out out towels White bedding cleaned but with permanent stains Hard dried beds We were alone in the complex except the last night. Felt like it opened for us. Staff was nice but can't reverse time of this worn out hotel. Owner should massively invest or halve it price. This place was absolutely the worst quality/price ratio we stayed in our 2.months trip. We didn't dare eat at the restaurant. Never saw anyone else eat there anyway.
The pool was nice and we had it for ourselves. Second neighbor to a great restaurant on the beach Friendly staff Quiet place
