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 reviewGood location with the beach right in front with beautiful views. Can only swim when tide is in, and snorkelling is good. Lots of great warungs and cafes close by. Staff were lovely. Comfy beds and quiet air conditioner. Massive outdoor bathroom.
Unfortunately the pool was a no go for us. It's eco friendly, using sea water pumped in to it. Slime covered the bottom of the pool and steps, making it very slippery and quite unsafe. Unfortunately the pool was very uninviting. Gardens not well tended.

Verified reviewWe stayed for 4 nights in July. Very welcoming and friendly - run smoothly and calmly by the owners Tony and Julia and their local team. They set it up and have been here for many years and know how to keep you comfortable and informed. This is probably why they soon get fully booked - good places do :-) Situated on the quieter side of the island, with snorkelling off the shore, or from small boats. Very helpful with arranging transfers (the payment goes to the person facilitating it, not to the hotel - a nice way to support locals). Rooms are clean and comfortable - everything you need. You'll hopefully spend most of your time outside! Simple and delicious breakfast (included in price) and meals are available. Usual range of drinks and juices at the bar. Coral-filtered sea water pool is very welcome and clean. Games are available, also scooters and bikes for rent at reasonable prices. Snorkels and masks available to borrow.
Having to leave :-)

Verified reviewWe loved stepping across the beach for great snorkeling and the kids loved the large swimming pool which had 3 fish in it - it amazed them! Staff were amazing with the kids and the food was lovely. Perfect place that we will definitely return to.
We loved everything about this place - could have stayed a lot longer if we had the time!

Verified reviewJuliantos has a warm and friendly atmosphere. The owners Julia and Tony, along with the staff make you feel truly welcome. Special mentions to Arif, Sam and Rini for their excellent service. We stayed in a family sea view room which was clean and comfortable. The room was more like a two-bedroom apartment. We had a beautiful view of the sunrise and Mt Rinjani from the balcony. As mentioned by others the location of the hotel is perfect for people who want to maximise their snorkeling time. The waters just in front of the hotel are teaming with coral and sealife. We 100% recommend Juliantos and hope to return.
Just minor things, not deal breakers. Blockout curtain in the rooms. Also there is no tvs, which we loved!

Verified reviewWe stayed for 4 nights and had the most relaxing time! The room is super comfortable. Good airconditioning, spacious and a nice bathroom in the open air! There's a small fridge and everything you need. Food and breakfast was really nice and all the staff very friendly too. Great value for money and right by the beach!

Verified reviewLocation was fabulous! - my preferred spot on the Island for snorkeling. Everything you need - air-con, fridge, kettle, outdoor seating with garden surrounds, sun loungers on the beach,fan was a bonus. The concrete buildings stay cool & provide more soundproofing than your average bamboo hut. Loved the ecco salt water swimming pool for when it's low tide. Limited breakfast choice but it was very good - plunger of coffee & homemade bread, generous fruit salad. Attractively decorated. Lovely staff. Very laidback, chill vibes.
The grey looking sheets (didn't doubt they were clean, maybe use coloured?) & poorly presented toiletries didn't create a good impression. I would've liked a general waste bin as well as the one used for toilet tissue. No (working) bedside light.

Verified reviewLocation, right on a spectacular snorkeling beach. Swimming with turtles on high tide exceptional. Beautiful sunrise. A two bedroom family room with large private balcony, overlooking the ocean. Lovely staff. Fantastic Massage at Zen Spa.
The plumbing in the bathroom needs attention. Unfortunately we didn’t find the natural sea water pool appealing. Would have loved a normal swimming pool when it’s low tide and you would like to cool off.

Verified reviewI only stayed one day, I was staying next doors before. I liked the location (reason for booking) and that breakfast was included. Some staff members were friendly.
The room I stayed in really needs renovation. It's quite cheap place but the walls are so dirty and grey. I spent an hour trying to kill the mosquitos in the room but there were so many (I didn't leave any door open) that after an hour still 4 were flying around so at the end I sprayed my body and slept like that but I still got bites. All other accommodations I stayed in provided electric mosquito repellent vapourisers. I woke up at 4 am to the mouses squeaking right at my head inside the wall which was quite annoying. The bathroom was not properly cleaned unfortunately (hair Infront of the mirror from yhe previous guest). If you are on a low budget probably this is a good place to stay at, I wouldn't like to spend longer than a day here.
