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 room was upgraded because unlike one of the reviews saying this room has hot water it didn't - they have us a different room with a boiler but the boiler was broken and took ages to fix late at night. they did give us a bucket of hot water in the end so we could shower. the hosts are very nice and welcoming, they try help as much as they can and gave us a later check out time as our train was very late that day there's free water refills which is handy can book the ijen tour through them but be aware that the blue flame hasn't been visible since it reopened but noone tells you this
see comments on hot water, its liekly you will not have boiler. there are a lot of ants/ bug ants that go on floor and fall from ceiling. nowhere to hang towels limited English from hosts but they're very nice
thank you for your review... we will improve our room as much as we can for make everyone happy

Verified reviewVery helpful staff. Quiet, in a residential area. Free water refills.
Motel-style layout and feel - white bare-walled room, no chair, hooks or hangers. One electric socket, far from the bed. Modernised bathroom but no door, sink or mirror. Wifi weak when in the room. Not much in the immediate area.10 minute walk to the main street. Be aware that the cheapest room has no window. Nice staff but needs investment from whoever owns it to justify the price charged. OK for a quick one night.
Hello Dave, We are sorry before, may be we have some limitations, but we try the best for serve you since you at Bali. You ask us everything and we try the best for give you clear solution.

When you arrive at harbour you want to go our Home stay ON FOOT, That is imposible, our staf call you privatly for explaint regarding your plain go to our Home stay ON FOOT is imposible because the homestay location in center of Banyuwangi city. We are recomend you for use some online taxi application. When you arrive at our homestay, Our staf welcoming you , company you and explain about the room which your booking althought we explain everything at room description and we has explain about specification at booking automatic message. Not only explain but also show you all type of room. Because of that you book tulip room and cancel lavender for asking refund so we pay 2x comission in booking.com without charge you. Please note ask us twice refund for free but we still pay comission 30% of price twice too. Our staf always ask you regarding your need but you tell him that you just want take a rest. You tell everyone that you need walk 10 minute for go to high road. Our homestay Surrounded by restaurants and shops that can meet your needs. And in homestay we offer some beverage also free drinking water. So what do you need around homestay and for what you go to high road? Do you want go carnival but no carnival on high road. suddenly in the early morning you check out so rush and you say go to Bromo. Our staf has call you regarding about our limitation and give you cash back by paypal because you book 2 night but you stay only one night and you refused because you think that is your mistake. We also asking your paypal id for give cash back because you want go to bromo as soon as possible. So what do you want? we think that we give you the best but what you say to us very different. If our homestay is under your expectation why you not cancel it that is free. Why so complicated. We so confuse how to serve you because we try the best only need communication.

Verified reviewNice and quiet location, just a short walking distance from restaurants etc. Everything was very clean, the bed was exceptionally comfortable and Staff Its really nice people. Recomended!!!
They provide breakfast but you have to inform them the night before, because they only cook for guests. Apart from that, I think it is very worth coming back to

Verified reviewThe bed is very comfortable, the bathroom is spacious and the water pressure is great, the AC works well, the place feels secure (there is a big sliding gate with a camera above it to close the property). The location is perfect, it's right next to a couple of delicious and affordable restaurants (Hanasta, SMJ, Surya..). The owner is very helpful and gave us great advice to enjoy our time in Banyuwangi. The wifi works very well also.
There was a weird strong lingering smell in the room for the three nights we spent there.

Verified reviewWe only stayed one night to go to the Ijen. The room had everything we needed and there are plenty of nice restaurants in the area. If you are looking for a place to stay just to go to mount Ijen, we can recommend this Homestay. Also the owner was very nice and speaks good English.
The AC is really loud and it could have been a bit cleaner, but it still was totally okay.

Verified reviewAn amazing family that went above and beyond to make me feel like I was actually one of the family. I was given authentic Javanese food (made and produced by them) and stayed in a comfortable bed. The place was clean and homey. I made a real connection with the family. I came as a customer and left as a friend. Thank you!
