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):
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.
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.).

FranceNothing, everything was perfect
We had the best time at Javacove Hotel ! If you are surfing you can’t have a better place to stay, you see the waves directly from the terrass. The staff is adorable and doing everything for you. One of the best hotel we had in Indonesia. Go for it with closed eyes ! Thanks The Turtles Room

AustraliaWould have been good to have a fridge in the room and the room we had while comfortable was quite small so nowhere to store bags. However, it was clean and comfortable and good value for the price and location.
Simple but well prepared breakfast with many choices. Breakfast was not a buffet which I regard as a more sustainable option.

IndonesiaThe location is very strategic, just a step to the beach.. Design of the hotel feels so homy. We stayed at family deluxe, it spacious enough. The water for shower (hot and cold) was run well. The staff are so friendly and helpful.

United KingdomThe bathroom sink was leaking and not too clean, hopefully they can make more of an effort cleaning the sink etc. Water pressure isn't good and hard to use the hot water tap. Sometimes the locals burn rubbish around the area.
Beautiful location, quiet and comfortable. Reception, security and resto staff are friendly. Pool is good. We always love staying here because of the close proximity to the surf and the rooftop view. The restaurant is good enough, we like that they already include tax etc in the price. What you see is what you pay. We love the cats that are around.

GermanyThe hotel is perfect for surfers. You can leave your surfboard inside in front of your room. Breakfast on the terrace under the shade of a big tree, and with a view of the waves is just gorgeous. The pool area is also a very nice place to relax. But most importantly and appreciated is the hotel staff who are always very friendly and helpful. The hotel manager, Iman, took a long time with us to help organize our train tickets. I highly recommend the hotel.

AustraliaAll great
Fantastic location as it is opposite the surf beach. The pool and food area were wonderful but what made this trip/stay the most memorable was the staff. They were so helpful finding great deals in motorbike/surfboard hire and getting good deals for other activities. We left super early for a flight and they even had some breakfast packed for our 5am departure. Definitely be back.

AustraliaBeds were a little hard. This is not the fault of the accomodation, however Batukaras seemed very popular with local tourists and hence a lot of rubbish ends up on the beach and it can be very noisy at times.
Java Cove was a fantastic place to stay for my children and partner. Opposite the beach so easy to surf with a fun beginner wave out the front. Swimming pool was fantastic as well as the staff. The daily breakfast was amazing including Sourdough bread and fruit. The staff were delightful, super helpful and happy.
