Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do 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 or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

We have not been able to understand where to have breakfast, because apparently it is served in a hotel nearby but we didn't find it
The atmosphere was nice, especially for the small garden. This hostel is in an area full of restaurants, café and places where it is cosy to meet in the night

Nothing actually; the price was in line with what we got.
Good location close to restaurants and not too far from Yogya center. Look, if you are looking for a fancy hotel with lots of comfort then look further, but if you need a hotel which has the basics just to rest, shower and sleep then this is a very nice place.

I stayed here a year ago and this second visit was almost the same but in a very slight worse state. I hope they'll give the place a little bit more attention so it won't get worse. The shower wasn't the best but it was okay. The bathroom needs some renovation as a floor tile was loose which collected a bunch of water after showering, which started to become a bit smelly. The sink and glasses on top weren't the cleanest. At some point there was no water to refill and the cups and glasses for coffee and tea were old and stained. Please, it needs more attention, such a shame because the place is really beautiful and peaceful.
The vibe is nice with a beautiful little garden. Super quiet place next to a busy street. I surely came to rest here.

Shower takes a long time to get warm (but when it does it is really nice) You have to ring the bell every time to get back inside the hostel. This was not really a problem, the owners live across, but I just felt bad bothering them in the evening.
Good location as it is in the alley of a touristic/backpacker street. (Also coffee places with western breakfast options). A lot of nice restaurants to choose from. Live music. An ATM in the street. A ventilator and airco in the room. Coffee and tea in the garden.

The hot water doesn't work properly, it seems like you must wait for several minutes for it. The hotel is located in the small alley that create hassle if you arrive by car ride, but even so, you just need to stop at the front of the small alley and walk for two minutes.
It is located near Prawirotaman Street, known as western part of Yogyakarta because foreigners mostly stay here. Near the building, there are laundry shops, convenience stores, café and restaurants, and street food stalls, and also BNI ATM machine. The hotel gives calm atmosphere and provides communal living space with decent coffee and tea. Every room has its own terrace that I use to spend time reading. The staffs are very friendly and they do pay attention to the safety of their guests, make sure that we are okay and give safety advice.

The bathroom, i think they should renovate it asap. The shower has no power at all :) And for the room, I think you should change the lamp and put some perfume in the room please :)
The location is in "kampung bule", so you'll feel safe because every night they always party and make the road full house 🤣🤣🤣

There was nobody else there, we had to ring the bell every time we wanted to enter the building, someone from the hotel across would open the door for us. She was nice and polite, but we missed someone to have a chat with and to help us get around in Yogja
We liked the garden and the rooms were all right, nothing to special. The location is nice if you like to be in the centre with lots of western food options around.

My room smelled like mold and I got severe allergies . . . most likely from the mold in my room. The blankets are rough and itchy. Also I had to ring the doorbell and wake up the staff every time I wanted to enter the property. Apparently it’s also against the law or against the rules to share a room with someone who you’re not married to.

The bathroom was quite old.
Friendly staff, they kept a clean room and helped us book day trips. The rooms and hostel in general look nice and have a nice interior (and we had a beautiful wall painting in our room). The hostel itself is situated at a busy street with a lot of food and drink options. We had a nice dinner at Warung Heru & Via Via and good coffee and breakfast at the opera cafe. If you have time (and are fit) we recommend the Merbabu trekking tour.
