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 close to the main street with a lot of food options and a big mall. Pool with a nice view.
The shower was clogged. Breakfast was quite basic not very western like they say.

Verified reviewThe hotel exceeded expectations with its modern and clean design, great views from above, a rooftop swimming pool, and a lively restaurant with evening music to sing along to. The location is also close to Surabaya’s old town.
No major drawbacks were experienced during the stay.

Verified reviewOnly one night stop over to travel on from the airport. Comfortable and spacious rooms. We got a complimentary upgrade from the reception staff which was lovely, to get a large room and a mini fridge and kettle.
Be prepared to be woken by the 4am call to prayer. Bring some good ear buds as we were unfortunately woken up. This wasn’t a problem tho!

Verified reviewWe really liked the area the hotel was located as close by there were many Restaurants and Shops where you can try Indonesian food. The Pool was also good and the staff gave some good recommendations regarding local restaurants. The Pool area is really nice to relax in the evening and see the sunset.
The rooms are alright but as stated previously from other guests - the bathroom could need some modernization. Also, the breakfast was not our favorite. It is mainly local food - which is great - but not really clear what includes Fish, meat etc. For Western people, it might be a little spicy. All in all, we would stay here again!

Verified reviewThis my first time to visit Surabaya river view, absolutely there is no river it's a drain dirty , opposite my room window, BUT, having said that hotel is great, everyone is exceptionally friendly always smile on there face very approachable. Room was good size bed and pillows are very comfy toilet very clean, Aircon super cool. Everyday they changed bed cover and pillows case it's spots less. I'm glad I select this hotel it's also walking distance to money changers and major department store like SOGO and others I highly recommend this hotel
Only set back here is food menu is very limited they must improve there menu by adding few more dishes during my 4 nights I couldn't get good choice after my beers, another set back there live music , it's far too loud can't have good conversation mostly everyone sitting outdoor due to open area and music toooooo loud.pls improve on this two which I think absolutely necessary.otherthen that all is well. Good luck to the management of the hotel.

Verified reviewIt is nicely located with cafes and restaurants in walking distance. The rooftop is really nice to sit and watch the sunset.
The shower could have been a little cleaner and the drain was somewhat clogged, but otherwise everything was perfect.

Verified reviewNice location to put you right in the middle of Surabaya, the rooftop bar gives a great view of the city, the room was large and clean and the bathroom was also large and clean. Reception area is also very clean and is inviting and relaxing. The receptoin staff helped me contact a driver that didnt get my booking to visit Mt. Bromo, if it wasnt for them i would never have gotten on my trip, i am gratefull they spend a good 10-15 mins to assist me. Water bottles complementary in the room and cleand and beds made daily. Staff were great with a few suggestions on eateries and other points of interest to visit whilst there. Rooftop bar had a nice vibe and even had live music and chilled out pool on the roof. Bed was huge and very comfortable
Bathroom has a bit of wear and tear, might need a little re-grouting in places as people might mistake natural decolouring as mould.
