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 reviewWhat a little gem in hostelworld Wees een Kind is! Centrally located in Malang in a quiet area, with fine beds, good bathrooms and the great banana pancackes (or any other breakfast) of Miss Cicik. Also, interacting and, if you want, eating with the great children in the adjacent shelter, is a real delight. The idea is that the hostel makes enough money to take care of the children, so you are also supporting them while staying there. I highly recommend this hostel.
Nothing.

Verified reviewEverything!!! The guys who run the hostel treated us like family from the minute we got there. Our daughter spent hours playing with the kids that live in the associated living quarters. They invited us to dine with them and the food was delicious!! Apart from that, the room was super cosy, the wifi was great, the showers were hot and the banana pancakes were unreal! A stay here is money well spent. Make sure to leave a donation!

Verified reviewFriendly hosts. Capsule beds had a lot of space. No air-conditioning, but each bed has a portable fan, so it was still fairly comfy.
Unpleasant smell came up through the bathroom drains.

Verified reviewOnly a few beds so it was nice to not be overcrowded. Facilities were very clean and shower was hot & strong! Also let us use the kitchen.
Maybe a little bit out of the city, but that wasn’t a problem for us.

Verified reviewThe staff was kind, they helped us get a driver, Yohanes, which was great. We had two days with him, we recommend
Even though there was a fan, the room was boiling hot. It was hotter inside than outside, which was problematic when we had to sleep. There was a weird smell in the bathrooms The breakfast is a fine option, but it’s not luxury nor a meal to get full by.

Verified reviewSuper friendly host. Great pancakes for breakfast. There was not much options though. This or toast. Constantly cleaning the floors and the main area. We came to Malang just to see the colorful village. The area felt very safe as it is in a gated community. We booked the private room but the hostel was bus as well
There was a lizard in our room, which isn't their fault, but I couldn't sleep haha. Bathroom was okay, really smelt bad.

Verified reviewWell this hostel as some.really cool stuffs going around, although the best was the possibility to meet the owners and talked with them Abou the hostel and their own history, we just loved it to meet them. So cheerfull to see the kids to smile because they have a place that they can call home. Histories aside, the place as a really good common áreas and facilities, being near off city center. The surroundings are filled up with restaurants and local cultura and is a really Nice walk from Kampung Tridi. We stayed on the private bedroom, and the only good thing was the fan and the space you have there.
The bed was really really unconfortable. The matress is probably already to stiff and outdated. Really advice some Change on that só the nights can be better for the people o sleepy there. My boyfriend coulnd't sleep there and slept on the couch. That's the major reason why we gave so low quotation. The nights we slept there we coulnd't sleep at all.

Verified reviewI only stayed here for one night but it was good, they had water available to buy for pretty cheap. The staff were really nice and the money goes to fund the orphanage they run next door. You have your own little cubby in the dorm which is nice as most people only seen to stay for a few nights to do bromo trips.
