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 reviewBedbugs in the dorm room!! We didn't stay a single night, ran as soon as we checked the sheets. No refund offered. They just asked us to change beds (not taking that risk). They did not say they were doing anything to rectify it, so unsure on that one.

Verified reviewGreat 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
A 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.

If you know Lombok, you have to deal with the noise mosks and It was too loud in the early morning. Only for this aspect I was disappointed.

Verified reviewBasic 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.
Hostel dorm is quite dark and not very spacious, but for the price paid it was good

Verified reviewMeeting new people and the staff were super chill. The hostel is located at the heart of tetebatu which is amazing. The wifi is okay for the fact that u are in the middle of the jungle.
The rooms were very small and there is nowhere to put your personal belongings. The floors are quite dirty.

Verified reviewIt 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.
I 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.
