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.).

New ZealandRelatively far from town for labuan bajo, some routes can have dodgy roads so be careful on the scooter. Especially at night.
Staff were very helpful. Free water refills and communal area was nice. They do scooter hire as well. Room was basic but did the job.

ItalyIf you want to go to the city it's a bit tricky cause you are quite outside. On the other hand you are very close to the airport. The WiFi didn't reach our room (not a huge concern)
The room was very clean, and the bathroom was great. Comfortable beds and the hosts were very lovely! :) The breakfast was simple but good, and they even ask you at what time you want to eat. Very cozy and quiet atmosphere

If you like somewhere outside the main touristy area free for people asking you if you want transport. With a good view and peaceful ambience. Then here's the spot. The dorms are good, cleaned everyday, The owners are lovely and approachable. Also happy to leave you in peace should you want it.

United StatesWe probably had to kill about 20 mosquitoes when we went in, as the doors and windows were left open probably after cleaning. Also, we were lightly packed so this wasn't a problem, but the airport walk involves a quite rocky slope (i.e. can not drive a car) so keep that in mind if you have heavy luggage that needs to be dragged.
Tucked away beside a local village and very peaceful. It's a great place to wake up in the morning. Very soft sheets! Breakfast is straightforward and freshly made according to what you order the day before. 10-15 min walk to the airport entrance.

GermanyWe liked the accommodation very much! The hosts are so sweet, helpful and friendly! Everything is clean. The accommodation is located a little outside, so you can enjoy the peace and nature. Nevertheless, it is less than 10 minutes by motorcycle to the center. We could rent the motorcycle directly in the accommodation, which was very convenient. The breakfast was also delicious. We would come back anytime and thank you very much for your hospitality!

FranceThe only "bad" thing is the part of dirt and rock road that is chaotic for 100 meters when you drive a scooter. But it's OK is you go slowly!
The bed is very comfortable and the dorm room is not too crowded. There is a very nice view from the terrace where you can chill. The family running the hostel is so kind and helpful i'd love to see them again and share a moment together!

NetherlandsThe showers have no hooks or shelves to put your clean clothes and towel on, so either you put your stuff on the floor or you leave it in the dorm and walk around naked. I think mounting some hooks could really improve the stay for guests. The road to this place is in terrible shape. You're walking on literal rocks instead of a paved road. This is not their fault of course, but it is unfortunate. You might want to wear shoes when going here. It also makes going out less attractive even though the homestay is relatively close to the "center". There is a mosquito problem, but looking at reviews from other dorms it seems to be a problem everywhere. The same goes for noise (roosters). I recommend going to bed early.
The owners are really friendly and the breakfast is tasty. There was ac but we didn't feel the need to turn it on because the temperature in the room was quite nice at night (the homestay is on a hill so it's cool). This place is really good value.

United KingdomApprox 30 min walk from town, would recommend renting a bike if you wish to visit, which the staff did help us with.
Really wonderful staff who helped us with our future plans, stored our luggage whilst we travelled to Wae Rebo and even offered to let us stay in their house when we returned to Labuan Bajo to find our follow on accommodation had cancelled on us last minute. Basic but comfortable room, and the breakfast provided was tasty!

GermanyIt's further out of town so my taxi and my grab drivers never drove me up the dust pit to the property. So I always had to walk. At night I got attacked (barked at) by the dogs from the owner. I completely froze because I didn't want to get bitten. It took the owner a while to help me to escape the situation.
The breakfast was really good, the owner was really friendly and helpful. The room was clean and I liked the common area in front of it. The view is amazing and it's just 10 minutes walking distance from the airport.
