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 location is just perfect, I never slept so close to the ocean, you’ll fall asleep with the sound of waves. The owner is also exceptional, he offered to pick me up in Ubud and also take me to Candidasa and bought a ticket to Nusa Penida for me: an angel ❤️

Verified reviewHaving my own terrace right on the beach made it memorable. After staying in some pretty basic accomodation, the comfort and facilities provided, such as fridge and aircon, felt like luxury. Putu doesn’t live on site but was readily available through WhatsApp and spoke excellent English. He is wanting to make your stay a good one. The shower was hot. I didn’t have issues re mozzies but a net and powered insect dispenser was appreciated.
It would be good if water in a large bottle was available for free use by the two units to stop the accumulation of plastic bottles.

Verified reviewIt is a slice of heaven. There is nothing between you and the water except fishing boats and sand. Location is in the centre of town with numerous restaurants everywhere. Spotless accommodation, very comfortable bed and great water pressure. You have a padlock and chain which makes it feel very secure when you leave. If you hire a scooter you can park it right out front of the property.
Nothing to not like.

Verified reviewThe owner picked us up from our last accommodation, only 5 mins away, but too far with luggage and Bali heat. He was very kind. The location was right on the beach, it wasn't too private because of its location !. Very central, supermarket and restaurants very close. The room was very well appointed. Air con, fridge, kettle with tea and coffee , though no milk. Bed was comfy and bathroom was good - hot water no problem.
Very public, with people and scooters using path in front of the verandah.

Verified reviewThe location of this place is amazing - a few steps away from the beach, beautiful view from the room, loved opening the curtains in the morning and seeing the water and boats! The room was clean and spacious and I enjoyed the chairs and table on the patio. It is a local area which I really liked, various restaurants and shops in the area. I really enjoyed my stay and the place is amazing value for money!
The room needs better lighting, there was only a lamp. I did not realise the bathroom had an open ceiling, and there were insects both in the bathroom and bedroom. Bring earplugs with you, it gets noisy! But overall it was a lovely experience and I would recommend staying here!

-Room not nice as seen in the photos -Walls cracked, paint chipping -desks were broken -toilet not cleaned -sink not cleaned -mould in bathroom -no hand soap given -bin too small -not enough toilet paper given, owner replaced with 1/2 roll of used wet toilet paper -shower is open roof, bathroom not secure, bathroom lock broken -room not secure, front door lock broken, expecting to be secured through chain and padlock -cupboard locks broken -floor dirty -bedsheets and mosquito net stained -only 1 sheet given, no blanket -insufficient lighting inside and outside room -big glass window, locals and tourists walk past and stare in on you -power sockets broken - have to choose between lighting and charging phone near bed -safety huge concern, pitch black outside and only accessed via dark back alley to beach, only 2 rooms at this property. -facilities listed are a lie and not true -roosters crow all night long, waking you up, children and motorbikes also loud outside -Putu, the host, may seem like a nice guy, but he is a total creep. He thinks it is okay to rock up at the property and enter any time he pleases, rocking up unannounced at 8:45pm one night while I was in the shower and waiting out the front for me to open the door for him to give me more toilet paper. Property isolated and pitch black outside, already scared for my safety. I did not want to open the door. Putu also thinks it is okay to enter the property without telling you, I caught him entering the room one day without telling me and he seemed to think this was okay. I left early before the last night because of how disgusting the property was and how creepy Putu was, and I was much happier after I left. Putu is creepy towards solo female travellers. DO NOT BOOK HERE.
Thanks for the reviews🙏 But not everything you say is true, for example: I brought you toilet paper at 8.45pm because you chatted with me via WA and said the toilet paper had run out, and I only delivered it till to the front of the room terrace. And then you opened the door and i gave you a full toilet paper then i left ( and you Said Thank you about that).and in the next day at 11 am I came into your room and you caught me because you chatted me via WA when you say you are going diving and Said the bathroom sink tap wasnt working, then I checked it but the sink tap was fine, and then I was surprised, suddenly you came back from diving and i Said i only checked the sink tap and it was fine.and I didnt understand then you got angry, and you decided to move to another hotel, and pay the room only for 2 night instead 3 night. I’m sorry that you dont like the local community situation in my place🙏

Verified reviewIf you are looking for a quiet place, at three steps from the Ocean, you must book here! Putu Is very welcoming and kind. Amed Is famous for snorkeling and diving and you can admire corals and tropical fishes very close to the bay! (And if you are lucky, u can see turtles 🐢) I truly recommend Tambun Sari Beach Homestay if you want to live free and barefoot 😁

Verified reviewPutu is a wonderful host. The room couldn’t be any closer to the sea, which is quite an experience in the rainy season. You can walk anywhere to nice restaurants and shops and a dip in the sea is right at the doorstep.
It’s a little small to stay longer with little storage space, and it’s quite damp being so close by the sea. Bring ear plugs if you are sensitive to noise.

Verified reviewGreat location right on the beach! Step outside your front door and there you are. You will however get the authentic experience with barking dogs and roosters during the day, plus the motor from the winch to pull the boats in. But I wasn’t too bothered by any of that, it wasn’t constant and made me feel privileged to enjoy local life up close. I just got a chuckle out of it all. Overall the room is basic, but comfortable. It was really nice to be able to sit on the day bed out front and just relax and watch the world go by. Putu (owner) is so nice and we had some great conversations, I learnt a lot! He got in touch to see if I had transport to Amed and offered a great price to pick me up in Sidemen and take me via Tirta Gangga. He also got a friend and I back down to Sanur via Taman Ujung for a good price, considering the length of the time of the journey.
Needs a tap out front to be able to wash sand off from the beach before coming onto the terrace and inside, I had sand everywhere. Paint and plaster coming away from the walls, it could do with a bit of a refresh.
