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 reviewcozy homestay operated by ladies family. nice hosts, but they don't speak english so the communication goes via the interpreter. traditional javanese family house, neat and clean.
expected more comfortable bathroom and toilet. OK for me but i travelled with my kids.
Thank you for your feedback! It's lovely to hear that you enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and the hospitality of the family. I understand how important comfortable facilities are, especially when traveling with kids. Hopefully, future visits can offer even better amenities!

Verified reviewABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
The private "bathroom" is the most disgusting, dirty bathroom I've ever seen in my life and I'm NOT picky! It was full of spiders which obviously have been there for months or even years. There is no sink AND no roof in the bathroom! The room smells horrible, so does the bed. If you think about using the kitchen: Don't! It might just be the last thing you'll ever do.
Hello Isabella, Thank you for your feedback, and we apologize if your recent stay did not meet your expectations. We regret any inconvenience caused and wish you had informed us during your stay so we could have addressed your concerns promptly. Our homestay embraces a traditional East Java-Indonesian house concept, featuring classic wooden furniture that emits a woody aroma, as depicted in our photos. We acknowledge that our accommodations may not offer the modern amenities found in upscale hotels. However, we strive to provide the best possible service to all our guests. For future visits to Indonesia, we recommend considering upper-tier hotels with a more contemporary design and amenities to better suit your preferences. We hope you had enjoyable moments during your holiday and appreciate your feedback. Warm regards, Jeru Homestay

Verified reviewWe picked Jeru Homestay because we wanted somewhere that would be convenient for getting up early to visit Baluran National Park the next day. The homestay was perfect for our one night stay - very clean and comfortable with lovely furniture and nice communal seating areas at the front and back. The staff are extremely welcoming and friendly. I had the room with the private bathroom. It didn't have a sink but I was able to brush my teeth using a glass of bottled water and spitting down the shower drain. The bed was comfortable. All messages to the property were answered quickly and clearly. In view of the fact that there are so few good places to stay near Baluran, this one is a real gem. I would recommend checking in during daylight hours. We were running a bit late after travelling a long way and it was dark and we missed the turnoff, but it didn't take long to rectify that. The homestay is very close to a mosque, so you will hear the call to prayers, but it's hard to find somewhere in Java that isn't close to a mosque, so I wouldn't hold that against them.

Verified reviewClean house with 4 bedrooms, my 9 months baby can crawl on the floor, we're the only customer so it felt like the house was ours. Helpful lady who took care of the house and recommended her relatives to give us massage. There's a cute cafe nearby and you can see rice field view from the porch. The weather was nice and windy not very hot. Big supermarket called Roxy is just few mins drive to main road.
Nothing really. If you book the room with shared washroom please note that the toilet is the traditional one.
