How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewStunning location but badly run
Poor choice of food at the a la carte menu, bad service and overpriced. Rooms were unnecessarily small and impractical with no privacy with the bathroom being next to the bed with only a slatted door. Noisy rooms. For a 5 star hotel it functioned as a 3/4 star but priced as a 5

Verified reviewLocation was good, breakfast was alright.
We did couples massage and honestly it didn’t feel like a massage. I brought this up with the staff and the literally had nothing to say or comment let alone addressing the issue. The hotel provided us with discount vouchers to use at the restaurant which we forgot to use. At checkout I requested if I could redeem them but they straight up refused.
Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed our location and found the breakfast satisfactory. However, we sincerely regret that your couples’ massage experience did not meet expectations, and we apologize for the lack of acknowledgment or resolution from our team at the time. This is not reflective of our usual standards of hospitality, and we will address this with our spa team to ensure better communication and service recovery in the future. Regarding the unused discount vouchers, we understand your disappointment, and we regret any inconvenience caused by our policy constraints at checkout. We appreciate your understanding and would love the opportunity to make it up to you during a future stay. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve, and we hope you’ll allow us another chance to provide you with the exceptional experience Alila Ubud is known for. Please feel free to reach out to us directly if there’s anything further we can assist you with. Warm regards, Ivan Hendrawan Head Host

Breakfast concept is little bit different, you have Al’a carte mixed with bufet, you can be lost for a sec but it’s all super delicious.
Dear Wiktor, Warmest greetings from Alila Ubud, where the lush jungle meets serene luxury. Thank you for your kind and thoughtful words—we are absolutely delighted to hear that your experience with us was nothing short of amazing. At Alila Ubud, we strive to craft moments that linger in memory, and your appreciation is the greatest reward for our team. We’re thrilled you enjoyed the unique breakfast concept at The Plantation Restaurant, where à la carte elegance blends seamlessly with a curated buffet selection. It’s true—the variety can be wonderfully overwhelming, but we’re so pleased every dish delighted your palate. Our culinary team takes immense pride in blending fresh, local ingredients with creative flair, and your enjoyment is their ultimate inspiration. Should your travels bring you back to Bali, we would be honored to welcome you again—perhaps for a sunrise breakfast overlooking the Ayung River valley, or a bespoke dining experience crafted just for you. Until then, may your journeys be as enriching as the moments you’ve shared with us. With gratitude, Ivan Hendrawan Head Host

Verified reviewThe location and the monkeys
The rooms were not so clean. Also the weather was always so dark and rainy, obviously not about the hotel. But for anyone considering this hotel, it is hard to find the sun shining in that jungle, if any. The weather is nice in the city center, but as you get closer to the hotel, it gets darker and darker 😁
Dear Emine Ayla, Warmest greetings from your verdant sanctuary, where the rainforest weaves its ever-changing tapestry around us. We sincerely appreciate your candid feedback, as it allows us to reflect on both the magic and the raw authenticity of our jungle haven. We’re delighted you found charm in our playful resident monkeys and our secluded location—truly a world apart from the bustle, where nature takes center stage. At the same time, we regret that your room did not meet our exacting standards of cleanliness, which we hold as a non-negotiable pillar of the Alila experience. Please know this has been addressed with our housekeeping team to ensure every detail reflects the refinement you deserve. As for our capricious jungle weather, you’ve beautifully captured its duality! Nestled in the rainforest, we’re often embraced by misty mornings and sudden tropical showers—nature’s way of keeping our emerald paradise lush and alive. While the sun does indeed play hide-and-seek behind the canopy, we find these moody skies add to the sense of tranquil seclusion. For sun-seekers, our infinity pool often catches golden rays, and Ubud’s center (just a short shuttle away) offers sunny strolls between showers. Your observations will help future guests set the perfect expectations. Should your travels bring you back to Bali, we’d be honored to welcome you again—perhaps during April–October, when the rainforest reveals her sunnier disposition. Until then, may your memories linger like the scent of petrichor on tropical leaves. With gratitude and warm regards, Ivan Hendrawan Head Host

Dear Suhaila, We’re absolutely delighted to welcome you back—and even more thrilled that your second stay with us was just as magical as the first! Thank you for choosing our jungle sanctuary once again. Yes, our little lizard friends do love to make appearances—they’re the quiet guardians of our rainforest home, keeping the ecosystem in perfect balance.
