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):
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.
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.).

United StatesA couple times it was a bit hard to find staff around for check out and that sort of thing, but I liked everyone that worked there.
Great location right by sama sama for the social vibe. I stayed in a private room/cottage and it was excellent for the price. Really comfortable, hot showers, and a little better insulated against sound (mosques) than another spot I stayed in Tetebatu

Basic hostel, in a good location for seeing the rice fields, monkey forest and waterfall. Day tour offered by hostel owner was good and meant I saw what Tetebatu had to offer with ease.

GermanyI did not like, that I got the feeling that it's all about the money. Everywhere we vent even on the tour (rice fields and waterfalls) you have to pay extra everywhere. We got a bit upset with booking a taxi. So if you book a taxi you pay for the car. They wanted even more money because we were 3 to share the ride and the cost. It's sometimes a feeling of always getting as much money from the tourist as possible The Moschee is right next to the hostel house so be prepared for noise at 4:30 and bring some earplugs.
It was a great family atmosphere with the other travelers. So a few people including me have extended their stay. The location is nice. The nature around is nice. And we chilled at Sama Sama in the evening to have some drinks together or just chill at the pool.

Czech RepublicThe beds weren't that comfortable and there was quite a bit of noise in the rooms in the evening, but nothing unbearable.
It is really good place for meeting other backpackers. Also it is a good start for Rinjanji trekking (they also provide the tour). The breakfast was included and really tasty.

PortugalWell if you read other reviews you can get the picture. It’s a basic Hostel, bathrooms need improvement for privacy, hot water was not available etc, but it as a great community around it to outweigh any negative aspects. Definitely don’t skip on the earplugs you will need it.
Really easygoing vibe, if you just booked a couple nights be prepared because you will want to extend it ☺️ Luckily you can just talk with the staff and they will sorted it out for you. The best thing about this property is that you can use the facilities in Sama Sama Bungalows. So you are paying for a hostel but then you can use their pool and at night you can eat there and there is a great atmosphere going on. Live music sometimes and the people are amazing. And you can book guided walking tour from Sama Sama bungalows also, as well as transportation. I definitely recommend doing the walking tour, Figo our guide and also the cook in Sama Sama, is such an amazing guy. You can also rent a scooter in Sama Sama. Another great thing about this hostel is the location. I just walk up to the monkey forest by myself and was able to see some black monkeys, I also found some rice fields and a waterfall just 10min walking from the property(opposite direction to the monkey forest). As a tip I would recommend you to eat in Warung the monkey forest, really great food and is just 5min walk from the hostel.
