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 host was super nice and the first impression was good. I got some recommendations for places to eat and it was nice. The room is basic but you have everything you need. Very clean and Ok shower pressure.
The location is not great and you don’t really have much around. There are a few local street food vendors and warungs around, but better restaurants and cafes are at least 10 minutes walk. I had to take the moto taxi everywhere basically. You have kitchen to cook and have coffee there if you like though. Also there were 4 pillows, but all are very big and uncomfortable, but this may be just me. They have 15 different iguanas in the back garden, they made quite an impression on me that I dreamed of them at night.

Verified reviewThis was one of the most enjoyable stays in Java. Nora, our host, was AMAZING, and so helpful! The homestay has a lovely garden, and patio location is excellent and it also offers free washing facilities, which came very handy. It also has lovely communal areas, with a fully equipped kitchen. The area is really nice, with some nice coffee bars nearby and very clean. We loved Yogyakarta and our stay at Ndalem Sarengat!
Nothing! it was great. Our only suggestion was to have a proper bedside light in the rooms.

Verified reviewGreat location, not touristy, very authentic area & very central. Lovely house, very roomy with air con in bedrooms. Norma was a very helpful host.
The bathroom needs a ton of bleach, it was far from clean, yellow staining all over toilet & sink the smell in there was awful. Grubby marks around door handles & light switches, kitchen cupboard doors very grubby. Needs a good clean.

Verified reviewGood location for visiting the key touristic spots. Norma, the host, was very friendly and helpful. Extremely cheap price as well.
The house was very noisy already early in the morning. The curtains were not blinding, so the room was bright already in the early morning.

Verified reviewThe location near everything I wanted to go in my list. The atmosphere was perfect. The neighborhood is so silent, tranquil and gave me the serenity I need. Hot water was very good. The furniture and ambience gives us antique and old Javanese feelings. Feels like home far from my home.

Verified reviewThe property is excellent. Very well appointed with old furniture and souvenirs. Every need is taken care of. The neighborhood is also good. And Rama, the young man helped me in everything, for ordering food, online taxi, day out booking to Barobudur. I'm really thankful to him. Young girl Lia was also nice, always smiling. I wish them best.
