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 staff are very friendly and attentive to details. We got served got tea when we arrive. Everything was perfect. Rooms are clean, air conditioning worked well. I liked very much how the structure of the building looks and it seems very well maintained. The location of the guesthouse is good with a variety of restaurants nearby within walking distance. They also offer messages. Just make sure to book in advance as they need to bring an external staff for that.
Everything was great.

Verified reviewThe location is pretty central, and there's parking if you have a motorbike. The room was generally clean, however the bathroom was less so. The WiFi was pretty good, although the password was not provided until we asked the staff. I think some of the rooms are bigger and nicer, but our room was very small and so-so. The shower had plenty of hot water which was also fantastic. They offered some welcome drinks during check-in too, which was appreciated. Like some other properties in Indonesia it feels like it has potential but they need to care a bit more about upkeep and the vibe.
The owner was often sitting near the entrance to the guesthouse looking grumpy, and never said anything to us the entire time we were there. The other teenage boys who run the place were more friendly, but despite paying online already, they asked me tons of questions and wanted all kinds of information on their forms during check-in which was a bit annoying. The room we were given was very small, and the bathroom was also small and had stains on the walls, and the toilet sprayer was bad and should be replaced. The AC was old and they locked all the settings like in some low-end motels, and it also was very dirty and smelled like cigarettes and we had very sore throats in the morning. We also woke up in the morning from the German tourists next door who were slamming doors and then playing music at a picnic table outside our room, which was bizarre. In my opinion this place is a bit overpriced and they have tried to squeeze too many rooms in, the design is so-so and it's not comfortable enough for me to recommend.

Verified reviewReally clean. The room was a bit dark but perfectly comfortable. The shower was powerful and consistently hot.
The location is a bit far away from the tourist area but if you are looking for a quieter stay, this hotel is great.
