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.).

Wifi connection is a big issue. Water dispenser is a bit old and water tastes like top water.
Attentive staff that makes a great effort on cleaning, every hours. Breakfast included and menu changes daily. Tea and coffee for free too. Nice and cool in the room all the time. Mini fridge that you can keep your drinks cold. Amazing location for any trips or tour you may plan. I will definately come back in the future

From my perspective, there are only two points to consider: The dorm is nice and quiet with A/C :-) But the common area is super noisy because it is open towards the street and there is always traffic. So bring noise cancelling headphones if you have some. (Oh, and of course, mosquitos can come into the common area as it's open, don't forget your mosquito repellent.) And: I had a few questions about my stay before I came to Ubud and sent 2 emails to the staff. None of them were answered - They probably didn't come through. I sent them through Booking.com One was about the airport shuttle that's mentioned when I booked the bed. One was about the common area and if it offers a quiet place to work. I then simply took a Grab taxi from the airport to the Hostel at my arrival.
Bamboo Ubud Hostel is a great Hostel. The bunkbeds have curtains for privacy, lots of sockets, the Wifi is good (I work online and was able to do my videocalls without problems). There is free water and hot water all the time. (Bring your teabags/coffee powder if you want a hot beverage outside of breakfast time!). The shower is hot, bathroom is clean. The hostel team is doing an amazing job, especially Nick and Hendi are lovely guys, absolutely helpful and great staff! I really enjoyed the daily breakfast, too, and their smiling faces from morning until evening made me feel very welcome. :-)

The enthusiasm of the staff especially Yoga. He’s very welcoming, polite and he explained everything very well. Nick & his brother were approachable and helpful too. Location is also perfect as it’s located at the Art Market and near to other attractions like Ubud Palace & Monkey Forest. The room is comfortable and bathroom is neat & clean. Staff are cleaning the place regularly. Highly recommended hostel in Ubud! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

For me it was not an issue but maybe to keep in mind when booking the hostel: the bathrooms are not separated by gender and are just hidden by a curtain at the end of the room. So in the room you’ll probably hear what’s going on 🙃 but water pressure is good and water is hot 🙂 also even though outside it’s super noisy, inside the room it is really quiet 😉
I really liked the location, you can easily walk everywhere and the market is just around the corner. Free Breakfast and the staff were amazing and just lovely people!

I absolutely loved everything about this hostel! They not only have the cleanest accommodation (which they deep clean every single day for two hours!!) but also the most lovable staff. The guys were so helpful during my stay and they offer several activities. The free breakfast is amazing as well. It‘s been my second stay here already and I can promise you that the quality hasn’t decreased in any way! By far my favourite hostel in Bali!! Thanks to Nick, Yoga and their boss as well as all their other colleagues: you guys are great!

The hostel was quite quiet so as a solo traveller I probably wouldn’t recommend but it would be perfect for a group!
The staff were absolutely lovely and made me feel very welcome and comfortable. I booked the Mt Batur tour which was well run and organised. The beds were comfortable and get private.
