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 reviewThe staff were very friendly and accommodating. The gardens were great. The room was nice enough. The location was great for viewing sunsets over the ocean. The restaurant and pool area was well designed. The food was great and the chef was happy to go off menu for us to let us try local dishes.
The shower was rusty and the piping had holes, which was surprising for a relatively new hotel. They didn’t offer a ton of activities that appealed to us. The road getting there was pretty rough at times.

Verified reviewthe place is amazing, and is going to look great in the future. The manager was super nice with the refund when we tell them we were leaving a couple of night earlier.
Is still under construction, felt like a construction pit with a lot of nice A lot of people working in the area so you did not feel a lot of privacy. Restaurant food could be a lot better, we did not like it at all and end up eating in nearby hotels a lot.

Verified reviewBeach was ok and breakfast, coffee too
I usually don’t complain but… Food quality, selection and portions were poor and prices too high for that. All the prices will have 21% extra so be aware. What you see is not what you get. As ceilings are open in your room so it was full of mosquitos and impossible to sleep. Pool was broken and very dirty. Transfer back to the airport was late and guy was driving 100-140 km/h on the road where chidren were playing and animals walking.
Dear Rolf, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re sorry to hear your experience did not meet your expectations and appreciate your feedback. Regarding the 21% tax and service charge, please note that this is standard across Indonesia and in accordance with national regulations. The room you stayed in was designed based on traditional Sumbanese architecture, which features open ceilings to create natural airflow and an authentic island experience. While this is part of the cultural charm, we understand it may not suit everyone. That’s why our team is always ready to assist with mosquito spray or other solutions if needed. However, during your stay, we received no report or request regarding this issue at reception. We always encourage our guests to let us know immediately so we can help resolve any discomfort during their stay. We’d also like to clarify that the pool was temporarily affected by heavy rainfall during your visit. As a gesture of goodwill, we offered complimentary transport to the airport, which was informed and agreed upon in advance—even though our transport service is usually chargeable. About your concern with the airport transfer speed—we’ve reviewed the GPS tracking from the vehicle, and the maximum recorded speed was 100 km/h. That said, we take all safety feedback seriously and will continue to monitor our transportation services closely. Your comments regarding food quality and service have also been noted, and we are working closely with our team to improve in these areas. Thank you again for your stay and feedback—it helps us continue to improve and provide a better experience for future guests. Warm regards, Arya Sumba Kodi Resort Team
